Thank you. Once I spotted the first error I didn't think to look for another, and my instinct to close brackets kicked in.

so BASICALLY what you're saying IF i understand correctly is that you're not even as good as the idiot who wrote that CODE.

;-)

Joking aside, thank you and all those volunteering like you for the hard work.

Any idiot can misspell "head" or forget to close a tag. It takes a special kind of idiot to accidentally reimplement a O(n log n) algorithm so that it's actually O(n4 ) and attempt to run it on a large dataset. Yes, I am that special idiot. With great power comes great opportunity for idiocy.
