Is this the new exercise, to estimate e?
What does it mean to introduce something? I'm not familiar
with :=, I guess that's introduction then.
But I've seen that somewhere, Pascal?
Right, it the assignment operator so then I take it
introduction just means to say something is said to denote
something else.
I use to thing the Pascal := had a point since then you could
use = as in math (and don't double down with == for equals)
but I've never given it any more thought since I got hooked on
Lisp and now I realize why ...
