 		 #132399 - The point is yours didn't work!
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Hello Andy,

You code had a gross error! That is not a minor point.

Patrick De Groote comments were factual and better thought threw than mine. I agree his methods were better. He caught the subtle way I wrote the code where you missed it entirely. Just redo your code so that other readers will have something that will work.

Also leaving out the portions you thing are not important is another BAD mistake you like to make. The output of my code shows every step so that you can take a calculator with a Xor function and make sure the code is working. Step by step trouble shooting whereas you think this is unimportant. I consider it vital to understanding how code works.

Regards,

Charles Bannister
