Short but honestly good advise to rather pull boolean checks apart and re-group them as they make sense in the context of the given situation you’re checking for.

I started doing this when building an alert-check system for the company I’m working for right now, and it really helps organize what is a pre-condition, what a syntactical requirement, etc etc.

    Well it actually depends.

    Does it make the code more readable? Like you have several if statements using the same things (and/or else if)? Yeah then it’s probably good.

    If you have an if (work.lengt() == 0 && stacked_work.length() == 0) and that’s it, probably not. Depending of whats happining then of course.

    Be creative guys! But also dont be too creative :-) Think about the poor coder doing something with all that in a year or two, let’s make his life less miserable (It’s probably you, too).

      “it actually depends”

      Yes, it depends. But in this scenario we’re not discussing if statements with one or two conditions. We’re exclusively discussing multiple complicated conditions. :)
