    Get the idea?

    The idea is for you to learn about progamming, and this means for you to learn something about debugging. The most powerful debugging tool: your brain. The second most powerful debugging tool: printf() (or cout << for you c++ fans). This wonderful forum certainly appears on my list of debugging tools, but not in the top 2.
    Amen, brother. To many people do not use their brains when trying to debug programs.

    Oh, well I have my ways to see if the really can use their brains to find out what is going on...
