Some of the braces were where the teacher put them in his correction, others were me misunderstanding braces, mostly because of how I was taught. I'm not sure which category that falls in to but I can say now, it is in the right spot.
Next week, arrays. I should have started reading that info this week but won't have time. Good thing next week's stuff is done in my other classes so I'll be alright. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin Slack" <m.g.slack@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
