 * Use ``delete`` on arrays to delete all its elements.
 * 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!

+* Make your state variables public - the compiler will create :ref:`getters <visibility-and-getters>` for you automatically.
 * 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)``.
 * Initialise storage structs with a single assignment: ``x = MyStruct({a: 1, b: 2});``
