Programming is not a science: in fact, computer science is a mathematics, and engineering is engineering. Rather (speaking generally), the "trial and error" together with "not reading the docs" is a typical beginner's mistake. > Or should I say "Programmers don't trust..." ? Trust me: it takes 100x getting anything done plus keep up with your prayers, and it takes 100^100x learning anything solid, as in just forget about it. Indeed, consider that we are rather going to the formal verification of programs, software, and even hardware... Julio -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
