30.6 Style

• A single block of code enclosed in { } should not span more than a couple of pages. Split up any bigger blocks into several smaller, simpler procedures.

• When your code starts to run into the right margin, it's time to split the procedure into several smaller, simpler procedures.

• Always define a constructor, destructor, and copy constructor for a class. If using the C++ defaults, "define" these routines with a comment such as:

   class example {     public:         // Example -- default constructor
