Chapter 24: Program structuring
Abstract
It should be clear that it is bad style to write a program that consists of a single file with all of its code in the main function. While it is possible that such a program gives the correct output, it does not convince the reader that it does so. Also, the chances of it actually giving the right output are smaller than if the code were written in a structured manner.
