The only or-less version I can think of is
if (a == 1 && b == 1 && C*C == 1)
But that's a bit too obfuscated for my taste...
How about:
if ( a==1 && b==1 && abs(C)==1 )
But what's the point of loosing the OR? I find Uwe's original version easy
to read?
Bad Christian! Don't know the difference between 'lose' and 'loose'.
Hmm... checking it:
The verb to lose (one o) means "to mislay" (you can lose your
keys or lose your mind); it's also the opposite of to win.
Loose (two o's) is usually an adjective, but it can also be a
verb, and it's easy to confuse it with lose. The verb to loose
means "to release" or "to let free"; it can also mean "to undo" or
"to make loose." The pronunciations are also different: to lose
ends in a z sound; to loose ends in a clear s sound. [Entry added

Maybe Uwe did want to "let free" the OR :-)
