It is also an algorithm — a set of processes which might be implemented in the order given, or in a variant of some or all of the order given. It entails the idea of modularity, variability of parameters, and response based on parameter variation. In other words, it’s a doggone program, and that’s just how hard it is to work with one. It’s not even programming which is difficult; it’s thinking in terms of a program that might get tricky. So if you’re stuck on a Lingo question and don’t know where to start your coding, try to think of what you want to do in terms of plain language, then outline it as a series of clear steps. Refine the series to make it more precise. After several iterations along these lines, you will probably have an “aha!” moment wherein you understand just what to do in Lingo, and how to do it. Another way to approach this is wit
