I still use 'print' statements in my code for debugging purposes. I know it's old, and please don't tell me that i'm nuts for doing it . . . You're not. Larry Wall once said he prefers prints over debuggers, too. I've heard similar things from other programmers over the years whose opinion I respect. Of course, there are a significant number of great programmers out there that use debuggers, too, so this isn't a clear-cut issue. The only time I've actually used a debugger is in the very little VB I've done, and only then because getting something printed in a language that is heavily tied to a GUI is really annoying. ---- : () { :|:& };: Note: All code is untested, unless otherwise stated
