When I write code, I tend to try and break things up into
smallest-possible steps, and use nested procedures with sensible names
to describe what I want to do. I do this because then I can look at
the lowest level of code and say "Yes, this is obviously correct" and
then go one step up and do the same. I then write a test program, and
then run that inside a debugger to make sure that everything is correct.
>do you a programmer print their own code and look at it? I mean really
I never print out my code. I very rarely print out *anything*. I much
prefer looking at stuff on a monitor.
But I'm weird like that.
