So true. Way back when (50 years ago) I was getting my accounting degree 
and we had to take a programming course. I can't even remember what 
language it was, maybe that's why I became interested in programming as 
a hobby. My daughter now teaches at that university and she tells me 
that many of her students are meteorology majors.

With covid 19 now sweeping the US she is teaching C++ and Android 
classes from my dining room table. She says that next semester the intro 
course will be Python so maybe she will actually ask me some questions.
