Joseph, I should point out that there are no *grades* for these exercises for me. I am trying to grasp these problems on my own AND I AM NOT GETTING GRADES FOR THIS.
I am merely trying to understand what an approach can be taken toward these problems. I do not know how to do them myself and they, I am told are in fact for more advanced programmers while I am just a beginner level programmer. So on that basis, can I ask if you could kindly help with these ? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joseph Ottinger" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "JDJList" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 8:42 PM Subject: [jdjlist] Re: two exercises I am trying to solve at the moment.... > >From: "Tim Nicholson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Subject: [jdjlist] Re: two exercises I am trying to solve at the moment.... > > > >Are you saying that you actually got programming questions when you were in > >grade 9 ? > > Yeah.
