# V7004\. The 'then' statement is equivalent to the 'else' statement\.

The analyzer has detected a suspicious code fragment where both branches of an if statement are same\. This often indicates an error\.

The example:

```cpp
if (cond)
  result = firstFunc(val);
else
  result = firstFunc(val);
```

Regardless of the value of the `cond` expression, the same operations are performed\. Most likely, such code contains an error\.

The fixed code:

```cpp
if (cond)
  result = firstFunc(val);
else
  result = secondFunc(val);
```
