202 OVERALL PROGRAM STRUCTURE ANNOYANCE-FILTER §254
254. Overall program structure.
Here we put all the pieces together in the order required by the digestive tract of the C++ compiler.
Like programmers, who must balance their diet among the four basic food groups: sugar, salt, fat,
and caffeine, compilers require a suitable mix of definitions, declarations, classes, and functions to get
along. Compilers are rather more picky than programmers in the order in which these delectations are
consumed.
