This is actually why a lot of bugs happen:

if (foo)
    do_thing();
    do_something_else();
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

That will burn you down because what you think is:

{ do_thing(); do_something_else; }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

But it's closer to

{ do_thing(); }
{ do_something_else(); }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

That's not entirely correct, but it can be helpful to think about it that way.
