Learn creative coding writing simple programs
103. Functions help keep code organized
When you start writing longer programs they can become difficult to follow. It's important to learn how to keep them easy to understand and easy to modify. There are different techniques for doing that. Some of them involve subdividing programs in smaller, easier to manage blocks.
In this episode we take a look at how we can use functions to subdivide programs into smaller parts. A function usually should not have much more than 15 or 20 lines. If it does, then maybe it's time to break it down.
