Ooooh, yeah, indexing is sort of a mystery to me, but I'm half tempted to save this code snippet and build on it as I learn stuff to eventually end up with...the most useless program about Dean and pie that only exists to amuse me.
It's just so frustrating because although there is overlap in 'things you need to be good at to do math well' and 'things you need to be good at to program well' they are not the same thing, and I'm now wondering how many people who are kickass problem solvers and logic whizzes with the capability of coming up with beautifully efficient and creative code are...not programmers because they took one look at some of the examples and went running for the hills screaming.
