//That is the magic of indenting. Through simply keeping logical groupings indented the same number of spaces
//and then indenting sub-sections further, you always know what section you're in
//Take a look at different classes in the sample code for this org, and even if you're not quite sure what it's doing yet
//you should see that the indenting makes logical groupings easier.
