Re: complex conditionals I contributed some code to a FOSS project recently which is written in C. In my 10 lines of contributions, 3 were a complex conditional. I'd have loved to do what the article suggests, with some intermediate booleans. But that C version would have required me to define those variables at the beginning of the function, a hundred lines earlier instead of just right there. No way that's going to fly, so now they will need to live with a complex conditional. It's one of those "modern language" features which C fanatics generally frown upon but which makes code much easier to read.
