It's something that's bugged me in every language I've used, I have an if statement but the conditional part has so many checks that I have to split it over multiple lines, use a nested if statement or just accept that it's ugly and move on with my life.
Are there any other methods that you've found that might be of use to me and anybody else that's hit the same problem?
Example, all on one line:
if (var1 = true && var2 = true && var2 = true && var3 = true && var4 = true && var5 = true && var6 = true)
{
Example, multi-line:
if (var1 = true && var2 = true && var2 = true
&& var3 = true && var4 = true && var5 = true
&& var6 = true)
{
Example-nested:
if (var1 = true && var2 = true && var2 = true && var3 = true)
{
if (var4 = true && var5 = true && var6 = true)
