Hi Ali,
It is actually quite fun, if you like puzzle games like Solitaire or
Mahjong.  It is basically an interactive puzzle that ends up creating
something useful.
C/C++ and most languages... are case sensitive, just like your
terminal.  This is why you should name your variables good names, and
use an IDE that offers auto complete choices.  So you can name things
long meaningful names and not have to type it out every time.

Yeah... I didn't notice the difference until it hit me looking at it....
I thought... I wonder if this is the culprit....  Puzzle solved!!  I win :)
