Ok, the teacher gave us a out-of-book program to write. Now she says that the program is doing the intention, but that she found "about 15 lines that can be done in a better manner". Now i'm sure there are 15, but based on what we have learned in class (because i can't apply things she hasn't taught for in-class work) i cannot rlly find anything. Could you please review/run my code and tell me what you may have done different? The only thing i truely hate is how i managed the deductions of the constants in the find_net function.


/* Edit: The iomanip is included because i plan to add a setiosflags line to format output. Thats not required so don't count that as an error*/
