Definitely not. At this point, I don't think I fully understand the sparse matrix, matrix_type, indexing and slicing, or integer arithmetic code, among other things. I don't think it is necessary to understand it all at once. The key thing is that you can understand the parts you need to understand, when you working on them. It also helps if the code is modular enough so that changes to one part don't unexpectedly break other unrelated things. Mostly I think Octave succeeds in that regard, but there are some things that are too complex (the operator definition macros and things like that). jwe ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
