- Hey, I'm 35 years old and I managed to get C++ under control!
- Tell him that virtual methods and inherited objects are simply
- fun. Thanks to C++ I can now run a variational problem with
- an arbitrary number of bodies whereas I got completely stuck
- with my previous fortran program only capable of handling one
- body and a limited number of parameters in the variational
- problem.
