Thats exactly what i think. It gives you a sort of satisfaction programming
in a
language that was meant for use with math on a machine you can hold in your

It's very satisfactory , especially when you program your firts math

these are pleasures that I have had thanks to my calculator. And being a
sophomore
in HS and doing this is even more satisfactory.
