I'm looking over the RM now. The course notes didnt provide much info in
this regard, as it assumed I would be using an if..else statement
structure in the sort.
Not me. No way. I gotta be different. I have this irresistable urge to
zig while everyone else in the course zags.(Been pretty successful so
far). I have to think up a solution that nobody else (at my level) has
thought of before. Using an if..else statement wouldn't be original. Heh.

The fun part is when the professor plops my code up on the projector and
says "Now this is how Chris did it." Cause I'm crazy like that.

Thanks.

Chris
