1. Started by reviewing the tutorials offered online.
2. Coded the easiest problems given.... no difficulties so far
3. Coded the more difficult number 6 and number 2
4. Tested the code and found several tycon  and EQUALOP errors.  These were easily 
resolved by adding semi-colon's and adjusting the nil return type.
5. Asked questions about prob2 in class... resolved issues.
6. Problem 6 is now throwing errors all over the place.  No matter what I do I can 
only get it to run in one situation.  This language is apparently strictly typed 
although we were told scripted languages were not.  I'm upset with the amount of time 
and effort I have spent on two lines of code. If it passes syntax checking I get 
incorrect results, if I code it the way that appeals to me, I get interpertation 
erros.  I'm lost.
