Btw, here is a simpler technique I&#x27;ve used for shortening over-long if-statements:<p>Replace<p><pre><code>  if(A) {
    &#x2F;&#x2F; 300 lines of code...
  }
  else {
    return FALSE;
  }
</code></pre>
with<p><pre><code>  if(!A) {
    return FALSE;
  }
  &#x2F;&#x2F; 300 lines of code...</code></pre>
