Is k then a state variable in that its state is 23? What sorts of variables are, and are not, state variables? The concept of a state variable seems central to Kent's article. If only I knew exactly what it was.
First, do you understand what ste is in mathematical/computing terms? That is critical to understanding what state variables are? For example if I say that the state of any object can be represented by a vector whose values correspond to the collected set of variables of the object, does that make sense? If not, we need to go back to consider what state is and why it is important in computing. -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
