(for i 1 500 (prn "I will not throw paper airplanes in class."))

Although, I assume the kid forgot the \n in his printf.




"prn"? Ick. Looks like 'porn'! Why not print, or put, or puts or out or just "p"?


pr = print

prn = print followed by newline


Because i and t are such a waste of time! :-)

Wouldn't it be easier to type:

?


You are correct. I need to go back and reread the tutorial.
