??? Excuse me, but why you needed to call the same function SIX times? This
seems to me not elegant in primis.
Can you give us a practical example?
Taking the top/bottom six from a sorted list of occurrences.
eg in Accounts Payable, a clerk might be given the task of 'chasing' the
six largest debtors (people who owe us money), as today's work
assignment/priority.
File parsing. You read a section header and want to ignore that
section, so you ignore the next 15 lines.
(just to be cheeky to @Chris)
Perhaps better as a Finite State Machine, with one state being 'seeking
section header'.
1 can we guarantee that the 'magic constant' of 15 will always apply?
2 presumably the total routine will involve more than identifying a
single header and skipping (only) that section.
