Thanks for that - interesting read. (Among other things, it explains where the
'only have one return, at the end' comes from - which I never could
understand.)
Nested if statements have more 'join' points
where control flow merges
back together at the end instead of bailing out early
Exactly. In high-level terms, it's much like having a ton of goto's. Yes, the
_syntax_ is different, but the semantics - and understanding how it works - is
the same - i.e. hard.
