However, if you are in a place where       another language is used, it would be good to learn it. The jump form C       to C++ isn't that hard.       Personally, I think that C and C++ tend to concentrate on the computer       rather than the problem and often other languages are often       better-particularly for the jump from concept to program and the ability       to experiment with ways to handle parts of the whole program.       As a retired EE prof-I found APL exciting and useful and J is more so       but both have steep learning curves and neither are considered to be in       the main stream       A simple example is an arithmetic average in J       which is sum divided by count of items              mean=:+/ % # +/ is sum % is division and # is the number of items              'mean 3 4 5' returns 4              That is the whole program- let the idiot box determine the need to deal       with integer, single and double precision.              --       Don Kelly       remove the cross to reply              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
