Scott tells me that you can't do named parameters in Java. Which lets me understand how you could get into such a mess.

I'm glad that I don't have to work with it though.

Ben

New You got it
not only that but they are all similar e.g numA, numB etc. It is very easy mix them up and not even notice.
