Style #21

Constraints:

  • Every single procedure and function checks the sanity of its arguments and either returns something sensible when the arguments are unreasonable or assigns them reasonable values

  • All code blocks check for possible errors and escape the block when things go wrong, setting the state to something reasonable

Possible names:

  • Constructive
  • Defensive
  • Hopeful
  • Shit happens, life goes on
