RE: [Dev-C++] Programming Form/Style

[Ioannis V. <no...@ya...>]

main() is best to be used as the driver piece of the program with the rest
things implemented in functions. Now if you have many couts (e.g. a menu) it
is best implemented in a separate function. If you have 1-2 couts to test
the functionality of the program place them in main().
