Why is it that when you get in line, the front of the line is the end, but the back of the line is the beginning? [/QUOTE]
It's not where I'm from.

[QUOTE=jasong;322861]Why is it that when you get in line, the front of the line is the end, but the back of the line is the beginning? When you go on a trip, the goal is the end and the starting point is the beginning.

So, if you think of standing in line as a trip, the [STRIKE]beginning[/STRIKE] [B]front[/B] of the line is the end, and the [STRIKE]end[/STRIKE] [B]back[/B] of the line is the beginning.[/QUOTE]

Agree. Always liked the "yucky" better, it looks like a grumpy razz: :yucky:

Well here's something I was rather shocked to find out. My grandpa has a blog. A bit less shocking is that it's about programming -- it's less shocking to me because he has a Ph.D. in math (because in his time CS wasn't its own major yet).

[quote]The topic for today is problem solving. I will present the subject in terms of writing computer programs, but the general principles are common to many areas besides computing. In fact, I took many of the principles below from a math book (“How to solve It” by G. Polya) and from several psychology books.

Most people start their education in computing by learning a computer programming language. There are introductory books, manuals, and tutorials to teach the basics of most computer programming languages. These usually make it straightforward to learn the syntax and semantics of a computer programming language. (Note that I did not say easy; I just said straightforward.) A lot of help is available.

Knowing a computer language is not enough. More important is"How do you use it to write a program?" Just knowing a language may not tell you where to start or how to proceed. After all, we all know how to speak some natural language, for instance, English, but that gives us no hint as to how to write a book in English. Unfortunately,there are very few books, manuals, or tutorials that really tell you where to start or how to proceed to write a computer program.. [/quote]
