Hi there,


Oh yes, interesting idea.  Having the methods laid out would help
when someone wants to implement their own personal version and yeah
provide practice too.
It's also interesting to start with a flow chart, and go from there,
trying to lay out the program in Eu.  It's a challenge to try to get
some loops coded into Eu because there is no 'goto' statement.
A flow chart is very concise too, even more so than a pseudo coded
version.


Take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
