++ To avoid deep nesting of if-statements, always return a function's value as early
 as possible. In certain routines, once you know the answer, you want to return it to the calling routine immediately. If the routine is defined in such a way that it doesn't require any cleanup, not returning immediately means that you have to write more code.

 ## Private (hidden) variables and methods
-Although there is the **private** keyword in TypeScript, it is only a syntax sugar. There is no such notation in JavaScript and everything is available to the users.

Such methods should also be prefixed with underscore.
