Can anyone help me on the following sentence?

"After a certain point, it becomes clear that functions can benefit from using functions themselves."

I am translating this article to Chinese, but I can't catch it. Thanks.--202.99.60.155 02:11, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)

It means that it is often useful to break a complex function into calls of less-complex functions. For example, a complex function that reads weather sensors, computes the wheather for next week and produces maps could be broken into three smaller functions that are called in sequence.
