Cleveland, Ohio Lines: 10 If a function or procedure gets too long, or too deeply nested to fit in a screenful, take some of the deeper code and move it to a separate procedure or function. This will leave more room for comments and blank lines, and if the new modules are selected well, makes the program even easier to understand. If a data structure initialization gets too long or complicated to fit on one screen, find some way to modularize it, or read it in from a separate file.
