• Punctuation: neatly finished sentences and lists.
• Numerical examples: at least one limiting case and one nominal case.
• Invariants: security/validity rules are explicit.
• Readability: Each block of code has a clear intent.
• Quick check: the chapter answers "what happens if the input is invalid?".
