in reply to Re: Error handling
in thread Error handling
I think this approach was what I was leaning towards. I'm still building the validation for the initial input. After that, the program *should* work correctly. If the user (or, eventually, file) contains the wrong initial ID then the resulting answer won't be what they were expecting, but it will be correct. (At least, that's my hope. This is my first project, so I'm building it in stages and learning as I go!)
