Working with long lines

There are several techniques that can be used when writing scripts to avoid excessively long lines of code. The goal is to avoid needing to scroll to the right when reviewing code. A secondary goal is to avoid littering a script with the backtick (grave accent) character, ', which can be difficult to see for some.

This book continually makes use of these techniques to try and present examples without wrapping across lines. For example, one of the examples from ShouldProcess uses three arguments inside an if statement condition:
