In college it was "sold" as more for engineers. I did dable in PASCAL a little 30+ years ago. BASIC also, and equally as long ago. More recently (10 years) I took a class in Python. It was also meant more for engineers, I later figured out. COBOL is more straight-forward. Define all your variables, maintain structure for legibility, etc. For my brain, it made more sense. * SLMR 2.1a * Clap on < |
