Hi Jerry, First question: The "m=0" line belongs outside the for-loop for sure, otherwise m will always be 0 or 1 for the following lines, alway overwriting previouse stored _Mins and _Maxs.
Also "m++" means increase m after evaluating the code line. In the following line m is 1 and will be increase again. The result is that in the _Mins array only the even idexes get set, and in the _Maxs the odd indexes. I guess you want to change the first "m++" to just "m", but then "m" goes with "i" which means that "m" is obsolete and can be replaced by i.
