The code like int foo = X; ... if (bar) foo = Y; is prone to subtle mistakes and hence harder to maintain as the foo value may be changed inadvertently while code in '...' grown in lines. On top it's harder to navigate to understand the possible values of foo when branch is not taken (requires to look somewhere else in the code, far from the piece at hand). Besides that in case of taken branch the foo will be rewritten, which is not a problem per se, just an unneeded operation. Decouple assignment and definition to use if-else to address the inconveniences described above.
