# getting-started

[Karlo Lozovina]

is there something like TODO("reason") but meant just for unreachable `if`/`when` branches? (for example like Rust has unreachable! macro do designate code paths that can't be taken)

[diesieben07]

throw IllegalStateException("description of why this is an illegal state") is what I do usually.

[Karlo Lozovina]

I think I'll do that... that's what error("reason") does, right?

[diesieben07]

Yes! I didn't even know about that one

[Michael de Kaste]

we usually go for the more specific throwing of illegalstate/arguments, but error("reason") is fine too

[nanodeath]

I usually use AssertionError for branches that are truly unreachable
