Dont feel too bad, Whipsmack.  I have taken four C++ classes and I still make that same error now and again. 

The important thing to remember is to not ask for help too soon.  Several times I have gotten stuck and I try to fix it using the "stare" method (which all programmers are familiar with.  Looks kinda like this:  ).  After about an hour (or sometimes more ) I just got up and went for a walk.  15 minutes later I sat back in my chair and I saw the problem within seconds.

A helpful tip when programming (and I wish someone told me this when I first started) is to frequently take breaks.  You will save mountains of time in the long run.

Good luck out there 

Amen Brother... Thou my stare looks more like then I move into but once I take a break and clear the mind it looks somthing like...

if 2 identical computers run 2 pieces of code with identical input, the output will b the same.

not true with concurrent systems however.. it gives different output everytime you run, very hard to debug.

Here is a good tip for you when starting to learn programming. Always practice to do indentations on a nested group of statements that way it would look neat and clean as well as very easy to debug.
