Today I've moved onto these topic areas. I now see the benefit of this: there is no need to keep copying the code to create each new instance(however copy and paste do seem to be 2 of my most favourite functions on the modern day PC). That said it seems to get mind-bogglingly complicated when you look deeper into the subject. For example using the same name for a slightly different function, perhaps with a different combination of value-types.

Hi Tom,
That makes perfect sense now you mention it.
Yes I'm doing Microsoft's technology specialist course (which has just replaced MCAD) focussing on window's apps. I must say I wasn't expecting anyone to comment quite so quickly.
Cheers

Jolly good. Programming is a great career to get into. It's challenging and fun although there are also repetitive times.

Copying code is a VERY BAD IDEA. If a bug gets found, you have to fix it in multiple places and remember all the places you copied the code. I used to look after systems with millions of lines of C code and if I copied code around, it would have been a monster mess.
Are you doing some sort of Programming course?
Tom.
