Okay, here's one I struggle with often -- is one of these better than the
other?
**************************************
A.
if ( isFlat($tire) ) { changeTire($tire); }
B.
checkFlatAndChangeTireIfNecessary($tire);
**************************************
"changeTire" feels more elemental (?) and therefore more useful, but I can
see why (B) would be attractive too...
(B) is a ridiculous subroutine name, but at least someone would know what's
going on with it. I started with just "checkTireAndChange", but how would I
remember in 6 months that it only checks for flats and not nails?
TIA.
