171171 <li><strong>Robust</strong> - behavior is correct even for edge cases such as out of memory.</li>
172172 <li><strong>Optimal</strong> - write programs the best way they can behave and perform.</li>
173 <li><strong>Maintainable</strong> - precisely communicate intent to the compiler and other programmers.
