Function Implementation
Issues when implementing function bodies.
Rules
ShortFunctions
Make functions short.
Consider replacing comments by function calls. Consider to flatten deep nested control structures by moving parts of them in extra functions. Consider moving complicated loop bodies into extra functions. Put repeated code snippets in an extra function.
NoMagicNumbers
Don't use unnamed constants in your code. Give them a descriptive name.
SwitchDefault
Don't just drop out of a switch statement, always provide a default case or a comment, why it is not needed.
Comment missing breaks.
NoCatchAll
Avoid catch(...).
