3 rules for coding: 1) use one-and-only-one indentation style, 2) "Good programs do not contain spelling errors or have grammatical mistakes. I think this is probably a result of fractal attention to detail; in great programs things are correct at all levels, down to the periods at the ends of sentences in comments." and 3) always immediately delete any superfluous code.
