How do I simplify an IF statement that returns true or false?

public bool CheckStuck(Paddle PaddleA)
{
    if (PaddleA.Bounds.IntersectsWith(this.Bounds))
        return true;
    else
        return false;
}

I feel like the above code, within the procedure, is a bit redundant and was wondering if there was a way to shorten it into one expression.

At the moment if the statement is true, it returns true and the same for false.

Is there a way to shorten it?

Solution 
  • public bool CheckStuck(Paddle PaddleA)
{
    return PaddleA.Bounds.IntersectsWith(this.Bounds);
}

    The condition after return evaluates to either True or False, so there's no need for the if/else.
