in reply to Passing an array to a subroutine help?!

Thank you everyone so much for your replies! I think I have a better understanding of how subroutines work and the scope of variables as well. Programming is very difficult for me, hence why I am a networking major, heh. I'm sure I'll end up posting again on here at some point, but it's refreshing to know that there are people such as yourselves who're willing to help others, and to explain the way things work. Thank you all again.

    Programming is an acquired taste.   The very first program that I ever wrote ... was 8 lines long (in BASIC) ... took me six months to write ... and had a bug in it.   It is just what you know at the time, and what does or does not interest you.   Personally, I abhor dealing with anything having to do with “the hardware,” and that definitely includes “networking.”   I say that (in a good-natured way, of course...) because I have discovered that I am not particularly good at resolving hardware issues and that I have no patience for it.   To each his/her own.
