# V8005\. The 'then' statement is equivalent to the 'else' statement\.

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

The example:

```cpp
if cond {
  result = FirstFunc(val)
} else {
  result = FirstFunc(val)
}
```

Regardless of what the `cond` expression evaluates to, the same operations will be performed\. Such code contains an error\.

The fixed code:

```cpp
if condition {
  result = FirstFunc(val)
} else {
  result = SecondFunc(val)
}
```
