Convoluted answers? I told him how to do it! I answered him as straightly as can be done without giving him an answer, and because it's homework, giving him an answer would be helping him cheat. (<TIM DON'T READ THIS PART> It's not like he couldn't put simple questions like these into google and get back a slew of solutions anyway. Tim, you're not reading this, are you? <TIM, RESUME READING>) >And am sure Alan this is of no interest to anyone asking questions be it on >any >topic.

They usually need that little kick of granularity to get them started, and when competence comes a-knockin' at their door, they're ready to go. >-----Original Message----- >From: Tim Nicholson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 4:18 AM >To: JDJList >Subject: [jdjlist] what is it like to be a programmer "in the real >world" ? > > >And to Joseph or anyone else who would like to answer:- > >Can you possibly tell me what it is like to be a programmer (in I assume >the >Java language) in the real world ?
