RE: Dumb programming question..

One would hope so.  With some of the threads I've been seeing the past 2 
days perhaps I'm a bit on edge.  The other question that comes to mind, is 
where is David?  I'm surprised that at least one of these threads hasn't 
had something thrown in it by him.

RE: Dumb programming question..






In Tom's defense,

I would imagine that he is talking about the fact that US math scores tend 
to be (much) lower than math scores in the rest of the world.

So the foreign comments he's thinking about were probably along the lines 
of "stupid Americans, can't even handle basic/remedial algebra."

At least that's the way I read his post.

For the record, I agree.  The transformations being discussed should be 
well within that capabilities of anybody (business or programmer) needing 
to talk about the expression.  However, I admit that I don't usually 
bother to simplify most expressions I deal with.


HTH,

Charles Wilt
