Dear Moritz,

First of all thank you for your help.

1. There's something that I'm not sure I understand, you say that when I use for ($i=0; $i<$size; $i++), after the loop ran a few times and than ended ($i was incremented a few times) it is set back to 0 once the loops ends? (You don't really have to answer that cause I'm testing it later today).

2. Your perlish way of writing the loop is interesting. I only know a bit of C (one university class) and that is why I wrote the loop the way I did. Do you advice me to start writing in your format or should I stick to my old C style?

Thank you so much for contributing your wisdom to a novice like me.
