thank you all guys.
I'm just doing some exercises in Python,
and therefor I'm trying to rewrite some programs
I've written in other languages into Python.

The first program I tried to convert was a MatLab program,
which could almost be written identical in Python.
Even with my little experience in Python,
I can tell you that it could have been written in Python
in a much better way, but I deliberately did not,
to show other people who are familiar with MatLab.

The second example I'm now exercising with,
is a simulator of (electrical) circuits,
which I build in Delphi
