I'm guessing that Prasanna was thinking of ACM ICPC kind of problems when he claimed that C/C++ is better in problem solving. These kind of problems require the contestant to write code so that they run within a given time limit.. a restriction which forces one to write it on C/C++ than a high-level language. BTW, if one is just starting to learn programming.. I hear HtDP is pretty good - http://htdp.org/ _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
