I have no doubt about that ;-)

It surely would be quicker if I understood it. However, while my way is 
surely slower (from a knowledgeable programmer p.o.v., quicker for me), 
I don't think it is impossible.

Up to now, for every case I tested, the behaviour was matched. I'll 
welcome any case where my code fails and I'll try to correct it. It just 
seems to be the easiest way to understand (and explain) what is 
happening (as a result, not as a process).

I must say I do not know where to begin. Maybe I'll borrow a book from 
my father or my brother (if they let me).


Povingly,
