Thanks Andrew. I'll read the article that you linked to on using Ruby as Java pseudocode.

Sometimes people jot down pseudo-code on paper. If that pseudo-code runs directly on their computers, it's best, isn't it? Ruby tries to be like that, like pseudo-code that runs. Python people say that too." http://www.artima.com/intv/rubyP.html --- On Jan 21, 2008 5:00 PM, Andrew Turner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > No, really. > > Looking at the pseudo code examples, they read almost exactly like > Ruby code.
