Hey guys, I'm in between work and taking my daughter to a baseball game, here's three tricks I used:

1) I used the $ thingy too, what I did was to $ the variable with the most references.

2) Since this (my) function has two distinct "sections" - I reused some $vars from the first part - in the second part.

3) Here's a trick I learned to assign doubles:

$y = 1.

$z = 0. + $stringnumber

notice no decimal (implied zero)

Be back later tonight to play !

Way to go guys - should be extremely proud, both of you!
