+ | This question seemed to provoke a murmur of sympathetic approval from up and down the table. | ||
+ | Richard continued, "What I mean is that if you really want to understand something, the best | ||
+ | way is to try and explain it to someone else. That forces you to sort it out in your mind. | ||
+ | And the more slow and dim-witted your pupil, the more you have to break things down into more | ||
+ | and more simple ideas. And that's really the essence of programming. By the time you've sorted | ||

+ | something about it yourself. | ||
