[Chicago] Silliness: was RE: newbie says HI; needs help

[Robare, Phil]

(Come on people, lets take this to another topic.  This won't help a
student learn if-statements.  It is fun however.) 

At least it's not 

 stock = strcmp(texture,"flakey")?1:strcmp(texture,"caked")?1:2;

Now THAT proves C's a _serious_ programming language!

Phil

	In Python 2.5 you'll be able to do:

	1 if texture in ['flakey', 'caked'] else 2

	What do you call this?

	Perl.
