Control-Structure Issues

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

   * Do expressions use True and False rather than 1 and 0?
   * Are boolean values compared to False implicitly?
   * Have boolean expressions been simplified by using additional boolean
     variables, boolean functions, and decision tables?
   * Are expressions stated positively?
   * In C, are numbers, characters, and pointers compared to 0 explicitly?
   * Do begin/end pairs balance?
   * Are begin/end pairs used everywhere they're needed for clarity?
   * Are null statements obvious?
   * Have nested statements been simplified by retesting part of the
     conditional, converting to if-then-elses, or moving nested code into
     its own routine?
   * If the routine has a decision count of more than 10, is there a good
     reason for not redesigning it?
