[SLUG] A somewhat theoretical problem.

[Bill Bennett <wbennett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Would anyone mind if I posted a problem in programming?

I'm teaching myself from a book and although I can
get my program to work, the book says that I've used something
illegal. (Yes, There *is* an obvious reply...)

I should add that the problem is not confined to the language I'm
learning and, I presume, has been discussed ad infinitum wherever
programmers raise their glasses. Even so...

Regards,

Bill Bennett.
