This morning, I woke up bright and early — unaccountably early, since Amtrak was involved — to pick up Margaret and Pippa, who were returning from New Jersey. Margaret had picked up Pip from the family of Pippa’s Very Best Friend from Princeton days, who took care of her while Margaret, Si, and I were gallivanting among the cathedrals of the capitals of Europe.

Posted by: Ottewell at January 13, 2004 12:56 PMThis will allow us to use a few functions we didn't have access to before. These lines are still a mystery for now, but we'll explain them soon. Now we'll start working within the main function, where favoriteNumber is declared and used. The first thing we need to do is change how we declare the variable. Instead of
