Hi Jes, You are making typing mistakes or syntax mistakes. Plain and simple. The computer is too stupid to know what you mean. Jim Jim Homme, Usability Services, Phone: 412-544-1810.

Accessibility Wiki: Breaking news and accessibility advice -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jes Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2010 4:32 AM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: So weird! I notice that sometimes when I am coding an algorithm, I'll put in a block of code that works rock solid every time it is executed. For example: do { Block 1 of code cblock 2 of code; } while (something != this && something != 'that'); } //end while return 0; } //end of main function Then, for whatever reason, I'll type that exact set of instructions somewhere else, by hand, and it won't compile, but when I select the rock solid portion of code and copy it, the program compiles just fine. How strange. Is this just me? Sorry if I am confusing all you peepers to death!
