* Use shorter types for struct elements and sort them such that short types are grouped together. This can lower the gas costs as multiple SSTORE operations might be combined into a single (SSTORE costs 5000 or 20000 gas, so this is what you want to optimise). Use the gas price estimator (with optimiser enabled) to check! * Use shorter types for struct elements and sort them such that short types are grouped together.

* If you end up checking conditions on input or state a lot at the beginning of your functions, try using [modifiers](#function-modifiers) * If you end up checking conditions on input or state a lot at the beginning of your functions, try using :ref:`modifiers`.
* If your contract has a function called `send` but you want to use the built-in send-function, use `address(contractVariable).send(amount)`. * If your contract has a function called `send` but you want to use the built-in send-function, use `address(contractVariable).send(amount)`.
* If you want your contracts to receive ether when called via `send`, you have to implement the [fallback function](#fallback-functions). * If you do **not** want your contracts to receive ether when called via `send`, you can add a throwing fallback function `function() { throw; }`.
* Initialise storage structs with a single assignment: `x = MyStruct({a: 1, b: 2});` * Initialise storage structs with a single assignment: `x = MyStruct({a: 1, b: 2});`
