A Sentence

Sure Kent, I’ll play. Here are the instructions:

  1. Grab the nearest book.
  2. Open it to page 161.
  3. Find the fifth sentence.
  4. Post the text of the sentence along with these instructions.
  5. Don’t search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Do what’s actually next to you.

My sentence is: “We’ve seen conditional statements and loop statements in this book already, and they were introduced in Chapter 1, but this is the chapter where we nail down all the facts on these statements.”

It’s a C++ book, and page 161 is the very early stages of the language. I haven’t picked up the book in years. What really makes me think, is the fact that I don’t have a non-fiction book in my office – maybe I should change that, and have a really great book at hand when I need some inspiration…

  • @hiway I don't think that's OCR, just being able to fine edges. OCR is actually extracting characters. [#] 3:07pm
