When I have very complex logic I like to give each step its own variable. It makes it read like English.

To be honest I only actually only do this when Im working on old code and find myself trying to remember how something works.

IME the improvement to readability is worth the cost of a few extra assignments.

In the cases where they aren't worth it, you're hopefully also using a language that gets compiled and they're just optimized out.
