For example, square roots were never a problem for me.
By the time we were on square roots, I already knew to draw a
square in basic, I'd have to do something like:
For i=1 to 40
for j = 1 to 40
DRAW (i,j,3)
next j
next i
Something like that. [I don't remember what the draw command
was]
So that's how I made a square.
So when square roots came out for me in 7th grade, I was like,
"Oh, Just REM out the j. What's the i?"
and that was it. Nobody knew what the hell I was talking about
but this was back in 1984 I think.
