I need you to help with this.... I always get confused when a program that appears simple takes me long time to finish, and i always think that i am not up to the task... i always think that a good programmer is not suppose to take that much time to complete the program..... Most especially when i have bugs in my program... and i just manipulated the program to get rid of the bug....
