Steve,
Your input is appreciated and I will do precisely what you stated,but I still would like a reference that would enable me to undesrstand what is second nature to you..
For instance,I dont know what the "i" stands for in the code.Most of the examples reference the letter "i".I am slowly getting postfix and prefix,but its the things like the use of "i" that leave me confused.Could it be any letter??Does "i" have special meaning in programming..I dont want to bother the board members,so i am hoping a beginning book may answer the basic questions
