When the code is more complex than a single expression, it's already complex enough that defining it first and then referring to it makes for clearer code.
That sounds quite recursive.
Where's the recursion? I'm not defining complexity in terms of complexity, if that's what you mean; I'm noting that a threshold on one continuum is located around the same place as a threshold on another.
Is it a hard rule or are you allowed to write three consecutive statements or expressions in some cases?
Of course it's not a hard rule; it's a rule of thumb, if you like. -- \ “Either he's dead or my watch has stopped.” —Groucho Marx | `\ | _o__) | Ben Finney
