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. :)
Well thei it is probably almost always good to clear things up :-) !
