refers to several other recipes which you might want to take a look
at, sorry I meant to mention this earlier.
Oh, that's neat. Not worth putting into my little project, but I've
bookmarked that on for when I need a lot of cases. It also shows how to
define a class - that was something I had wondered about, but not yet
tackled.
I'm really grateful for the answers I have received. It will take me a
while to get my head around some of the less obvious code fragment that
folk have kindly posted, but I will play around with all of them in due
course. Already the code I am playing with has shrunk to about half the
number of lines it was before I joined this list and I'm even more than
ever impressed with the language. I also like the fact that it can be
played with as an interpreted language. Compiling and debugging c code
could be a pain at times. In Python, a few print statements together
with the syntax error messages from the interpreter make it very easy to
see what's happening.
Kind regards, Barry.
