Cobol and C... this is still being taught here, and OMG, Cobol is awful for what I saw. I try not to get that particular subject next year. C, in the other hand... I have a C program pending, and I have to program it with VI! :(

I found curious that they mention C and not Assembler.

Don't forget, Assembler is frequently used, just not for applications.  It is more often used for low level programming of hardware.  At least from what my Computer Engineering friends keep telling me...

So, will this also do TVM calculations?  (Time Value of Money for those who don't know). 

I am starting the programming challenges (Java first, since I understand it best for now), and for the first assignment, I am extending the engine from the simple calculations required into a TVM calculator.  These are GREAT devices to help you figure out all kinds of things from your income from a savings account to the exact cost of a financed car to the expected return on investments.  When I finish it, Mouser, you will see the code that makes it happen (if you don't already have it) ...perhaps that will be easy enough to port over into the FCalc plugin as well?
