Ok, and how do you control timing. A game requirement. How do you handle
FOR...NEXT kind of loops. Yeah but let's go with something that has been
around for a LONG while in the field of programming. Let's start think of
an Accounting program that handles what data has been transacted. This is
something that been a part of programming for a LONG LONG time. Data
transaction, another key element of a programming language is the basic
handling of data that you do not have a defined maximum.
