Programming a computer feels like, in a lot of ways, trying to communicate with someone far, far, far more autistic than myself. After all, it takes all instructions literally and has ZERO sense of what you "meant by" stuff. If you so much as forget a semicolon, the compiler will interpret code following the forgotten semicolon completely differently, as part of your previous line, because it doesn't have any concept of one interpretation "making more sense" than another. Even if one way compiles and the other doesn't!
Another example is something like (in C++):
caller_ptr->msgCount[dst]++;
cout << msgCount[dst];
This will not compile because, although some here will see that I "meant" caller_ptr->msgCount[dst] in the cout line but forgot the "caller_ptr->" part, the computer will not see this, throw its hands up in the air, say "I don't know of any msgCount" (even though I "mentioned" it just one line ago) and give you a compile error.
It's why it can sometimes be hard to catch programming mistakes by hand-tracing code, since humans (NT's especially) tend to see what they expect to see instead of what's actually there!
