I always thought the part between the curly braces were kind of like it's own little built in method
definition that just wasn't assigned a name, just like how a literal number or string can be defined
without a name. Therefore, I always looked at writing:

if( i > 0 )
{
    print "Yippee!"
    print "I'm so happy";
}
else
{
    print "Aww...."
    print "Go away now";
}


the same as:


void passCheckPositive()
{
    print "Yipee!";
    print "I'm so happy";
}

void failCheckPositive()
{
    print "Aww";
    print "Go away now";
}

if (i > 0)
    passCheckPositive();
else
    failCheckPositive();
