For an example where the simpler code is not easier to read:

Logically, you want to do a conditional:

if (c is between a and b, and you don't know whether a is larger or smaller than b) then...

Human simpler (use this!):

if ((a<b) && (b<c) || (a>b) && (b>c)) then..

Probably machine quicker, but don't use:

if ((a-b)*(b-c) > 0) then..
