hi,
i was just wondering if there is some special technique to understand the code which is not yours.i may sound peculiar so letme make it a bit clear.i hav just recently done some c++ programming and being able to make some programs.not too complex but i can do some very basic programming .....
i am able to solve most of the problems myself,but when i look at someone else's code,it takes me a while and lot of effort to understand it.....
i hav heard of the topdown and bottomup approach of designing a program,but can the same approach be used in understanding it?
i am not a professional of programming just an amateur so if i sound too stupid plz forgive me...
thanx in advance..
