G'day kcott

You are right, I updated the code on minor points, while you where trying to assist me. I did when I figure out that I was testing two number 1 and 1.0 that did not make any sense to test.

Apologies for that that you lost interest. I hope that this will not happen again on my questions.

Thank you for spending time and trying to assist.
