_________________________________________
/ A program should be light and agile, \
| its subroutines connected like a |
| strings of pearls. The spirit and |
| intent of the program should be |
| retained throughout. There should be |
| neither too little nor too much, |
| neither needless loops nor useless |
| variables, neither lack of structure |
| nor overwhelming rigidity. |
| |
| A program should follow the 'Law of |
| Least Astonishment'. What is this law? |
| It is simply that the program should |
| always respond to the user in the way |
| that astonishes him least. |
| |
| A program, no matter how complex, |
| should act as a single unit. The |
| program should be directed by the logic |
| within rather than by outward |
| appearances. |
| |
| If the program fails in these |
| requirements, it will be in a state of |
| disorder and confusion. The only way to |
| correct this is to rewrite the program. |
