me dot close

I hate programing, and here is why:

Dim outPixelType As rstPixelType
Select Case pInRasProps.PixelType
Case PT_CHAR
outPixelType = PT_LONG
Case PT_COMPLEX
MsgBox "Operation not supported on complex data", vbOKOnly, "Neighborhood Notation"
Exit Sub

All these things mean something, Im just not sure what. Programing has been described as its own language many times and thats because thats what it is. In order to understand this code above you must know the terms and the understand the program that is being coded. There are actually people who can jump into a code fix it, rework it, or break it. We have spent over 4 courses trying to learn the language and its like french to me, i kind of get it. I just feel bad for those people who code all the time. Programming can be one of the most frustrating jobs out there! Such a simple mistake like spelling a code name wrong can screw it up and cause errors. Some of these codes are hundreds of pages long, image something going wrong there.
