What is the distinction between "User class" and "unidimensional collection of User objects" that makes the first a blunder, and the second not? What IS an user class in your definition? What is an unidimensional collection? - a kind of "set of users", that is objects of the same kind? Received on Sat Nov 20 2004 - 03:05:38 CST
