Hi Gregg, Your suggestion is very good and explicit,thanks for your response. I'd like to ask you another question since you mentioned : >>> spend *a lot* of time studying other people's solutions, looking at both the factors of elegance and readability in solutions. do you have any good projects/solutions recommended?
