Thanks, Kornfeld, for the heads-up; I did read the article and, once again, was thankful I gave up VB for C# many years ago. For me, using a 'struct is the best way to wrap-up a bunch of Types if I want a "leaner, meaner" way to package data. But, I have made little use of the existing 'Tuple class, partially because of its Item1 ... Item#m syntax.
cheers, Bill

I need qutple, puples, suples, ouples and nuples,
How about just creating a damn structure?

A new report out by the BBC is showing that tech and online giants Microsoft, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook have pledged to remove hate speech within 24 hours. "All you need is love"

You know what's gonna happen now...
0) People become angry and look for alternatives
1) Startups appear, claiming no censorship in order to draw in users
2) Startup becomes big enough to be noticed by "tech giants"
3) Startup owner sells out to highest "tech giant" bidder
4) Go to Item #0 (wash, rinse, repeat).

I'm not comfortable with that statement. You're a racist homophobic atheist, and I hate you for that. Please provide me a safe space at your own expense.

Fable compiles F# to JavaScript, but lets developers pick their own Web development tools Because all roads (must?) lead to JavaScript

Whew; there are SO many more F# developers than JavaScript developers. This will be such a help.

If JavaScript so important than why not to:
* learn it?
* teach it?
* develop IDEs for it?
(I'm writing JavaScript for almost 15 years, and I'm writing it in JavaScript! I know, it is unbelievable...)

Most people's lap disappears when they stand up and start walking around.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

"French investigators avoided the Internet, stuck to word processors and renamed Google ‘Tulip’ to prevent leaks as they prepared a secret tax raid at the company’s Paris offices last week.
“We decided to never utter the word ‘Google,’ to give the firm another name” and “we worked on this case fully offline for nearly a year,” Eliane Houlette, the financial prosecutor, said in a Sunday interview on French radio Europe1." [^]
"Ahh, Les Google ... juicy as les hamburger," the official spokesperson did not say.

An interesting topic came up recently at work – one of my colleagues asked me – what is the worst programming interview question that you’ve faced? And no mention of the manhole cover
|
|
|
|
|

While you can figure it out, the point is, should you have to work it out in an interview. If the whole question is as reported, then a loop is an acceptable solution. I wouldn't expect someone looking for an intern position to start off from the point of "is this the optimal solution" unless I actually bounded the question. The problem really does lie with the interviewer not being prepared to accept answers that deviated from his script.

I do agree with you that a loop should not be a showstopper. But I could in fact ask a question like that just to see the reaction.
My reaction was towards the attitude of the article that was "oh-my-elephanting-God what an atrocity to even consider posing such a question". That I disagree with.
... such stuff as dreams are made on
