Bits of Wisdom

You know when your program is useful when you spend more time using it then developing it.

Ensure that all of your local variables are set to null or 0 at the end of their scope, so the computer knows they're finished being used, like so:

int Add(int valueToBeAddedToBySecondArgument, int valueBeingAddedToFirstArgument)
{
    int temporaryValueOfTheFirstAndSecondArguments;
   
    if(valueToBeAddedToBySecondArgument == 0)
    {
        temporaryValueOfTheFirstAndSecondArguments = valueBeingAddedToFirstArgument;
    }
    else if(valueBeingAddedToFirstArgument == 0)
    {       
        temporaryValueOfTheFirstAndSecondArguments = valueToBeAddedToBySecondArgument;
    }
    else
    {
        temporaryValueOfTheFirstAndSecondArguments = valueToBeAddedToBySecondArgument;
        temporaryValueOfTheFirstAndSecondArguments = temporaryValueOfTheFirstAndSecondArguments + valueBeingAddedToFirstArgument;
    }

    valueToBeAddedToBySecondArgument = 0;
    valueBeingAddedToFirstArgument = 0;

    return temporaryValueOfTheFirstAndSecondArguments;

    temporaryValueOfTheFirstAndSecondArguments = 0;
}

If you do not do this your computer will run out of memory very, very fast and can cause a virus to infect your motherboard!
