int a = b() > c();
if (!a) a = (d() >= e());
if (!a) a = (f() != g());

This is slightly simpler than usual because it's an initialiser (and because 
int.init happens to be 0).  But in the general case where it's being 
assigned after declaration, you'd need a bit more:

int temp = b() > c();
if (!temp) temp = (d() >= e());
if (!temp) temp = (f() != g());
if (temp) a = temp;
