== Coding guidelines: ==
* Divide the program into functions
* Write short docstrings for all functions.
* Use reasonable variable names.
* Use reasonable function names starting with a verb.
* Don't re-invent the wheel, using libraries makes your code shorter and easier to maintain.
* Writing test functions saves lots of time on a long term.

== The Dogma of Programming ==
* First, make it work.
* Second, make it nice.
* Third, and only if it is really neccessary, make it fast.

== Code formatting conventions: ==
* Use spaces instead of tabs (or use an editor that converts them automatically.
* Keep lines less than 80 characters long.
* Separate functions with two blank lines.
* Separate logical chunks of long functions with a single blank line.
* Variables and function names in lowercase.
