I try to declare in the smallest necessary scope. And I find myself
converting
boolean result = false;
try {
result = whatEver() || somethingElse();
}
catch (whatever...) {
no return or change of result
}
return result;
to
try {
return whatEver() || somethingElse();
}
catch (whatever...) {
no return or change of result
return false;
}
because I find that more readable. Variables are not a value in itself.
If they don't serve a purpose they should go away IMHO since they
decouple calculation of the value from usage. Of course, if you need
the same value multiple times then that warrants every variable. But
cases like the one above do not.

Right.
