Ed, Yes that was what foxed me (pardon the pun!) for a while.... however after a few coding examples put in context to my own data I can now see massive possibilities in data processing. Thoroughly enjoying it all!

When all you’ve had are arrays/lists, tuples can be odd. I think of them as a single piece of data that consists of more than one value, such as an x-y coordinate, or a GPS point of latitude, longitude, and elevation. The thing that trips up most people is that a tuple is immutable, while a list is mutable. If you find yourself trying to modify a tuple, maybe you shouldn’t be using a tuple in the first place. The x-y value of a point never changes. If you have a different number in that tuple, it’s a different point! -- Ed Leafe _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
