Are you saying that you actually got programming questions when you were in grade 9 ?
>From where i come from, it is unheard of to have done any sort of programming until you reach university level. So are you suggesting that you studied programming while you were still at high school ? I would be very interested to hear about that....? Joseph, is it possible to provide some coded solution segments for these 2 problems ? Particularly the ones to do with the computer saying in words what you type in as an int. I would much appreciate if you could possibly provide a solution that I can then study myself and see what sort of things you were doing in them so that I can learn from the solution ? I would appreciate your help ? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joseph B.
