[NSRCA-discussion] Chapter-12 computer science.

[Matthew Frederick]

I was thinking the same way you were, Marty, but according to the guy who 
posted it, its an infinite loop. Also, if our thinking on the way it would 
operate was correct, the value of cnt at the end would be 256 (since it 
increments before the condition is tested)... On a more personal note, I've 
been impressed to see a Jesuit who is into R/C airplanes. My brother joined 
the Novitiate in Grand Couteau, LA last August. He seems to be really 
enjoying it, and it looks like he's going to stay with it.
