simplified code formatting, fixed typos (interested in removing my downvote after rethinking this alternative aspect)
Oct 19, 2016 at 6:03 comment added Wolf @Kache I think it depends on whether you code object-oriented or not, in the OOP case, the use of member function keeps the design much more flexible. It really depends on the context...

Oct 19, 2016 at 4:44 comment added Kache @Wolf OTOH, I prefer this to a function call in order to reduce the "abstraction depth" of code. IMO, jumping into a function is a larger context switch than an explicit and direct couple lines of code, especially if it just returns a boolean.
Jan 9, 2015 at 9:22 comment added Wolf I experienced this advice a bad idea: the bool and the condition distract attention from the core business of the function. Also, a style preferring local variables make refactoring harder.
Sep 12, 2011 at 20:01 comment added dbkk The bool is particularly beneficial if the condition function name would be difficult or possibly misleading (e.g. IsEngineReadyUnlessItIsOffOrBusyOrOutOfService).
