Hi, The level is a good part, yes. If, like me, you don't know what C constructs are under python constructs, you are guessing shapes of objects by the shadows they cast. But, that's not the sole issue. Ever write code that you thought did what you wanted only to run it and find out you were wrong? That happens because your intuitive judgements aren't giving you perfectly reliable insight into what code does :-) Best, Brian vdB
