It's that, I have a few MEL ebook style documents, they appear informative, although I haven't read them cover to cover, what may the book have that these documents don't have, besides a price tag.

I have documentation on MEL. Did you read this book ? The book
comes across as though you are calling me stupid ? ;-) A ten plus
year old book still costs almost $60, and the kindle is the same.
I suppose I should know a little C++ if I get this book.

I highly doubt Marcus was trying to insult your intelligence by
suggesting a book. He is one of the most helpful members of this group.

The intent, as I saw it, was to offer you ways to improve your
foundation in programming. We are all happy to help with questions,
but we can't always teach from scratch when there are tons of
resources to get a baseline in Mel or python. But if you ask very
clear detailed questions, you will get clear and detailed answers
(hopefully)


In the meantime, instead of me waiting to buy a book, if I buy the
book, someone willing to give me a clue on what I'm doing wrong,
yes I may ask novice questions, I do appreciate the help.

I’d suggest you have a glance at this book, it covers both
basics and advanced use of MEL, and is a good introduction
to programming with Maya overall.

Do you not make objects as strings in MEL ? For example;

string $one = "pSphere1";

string $two = "pCube1";

Or just alone var as such; $one = "pSphere1";
