Credit for [User:Meriton](https://software.codidact.com/users/53280) for developing the following code ([first published here](https://software.codidact.com/posts/286304/286317#answer-286317)):- ```javascript
- function replaceIn(e) {
- if (e.nodeType == Node.TEXT_NODE) {
- e.nodeValue = e.nodeValue.replaceAll("a", "");
- } else {
- for (const child of e.childNodes) {
- replaceIn(child);
- }
- }
- }
- replaceIn(document.body);
- ```
- How this recursive treewalker works?
- As a side question which I grasp as important, can there be an even simpler and more direct version without the `else`?

Treewalker with just an if, no else
- How this recursive treewalker works?
- Credit for [User:Meriton](https://software.codidact.com/users/53280) for developing the following code ([first published here](https://software.codidact.com/posts/286304/286317#answer-286317)):
- ```javascript
- function replaceIn(e) {
- if (e.nodeType == Node.TEXT_NODE) {
- e.nodeValue = e.nodeValue.replaceAll("a", "");
- } else {
- for (const child of e.childNodes) {
- replaceIn(child);
- }
- }
- }
- replaceIn(document.body);
- ```
Can this be achieved without `else`?If we just want to run on all characters in the document, why not do that in a direct command without conditioning?

Treewalker without an if-else conditioning
- Treewalker without just an if, no else

- replaceIn(child);
- }

- }
- replaceIn(document.body);

Why does an if-else pattern is needed here and can the code be rephrased without it?- If we just want to run on all characters in the document, why not do that in a direct command without conditioning?
