<p>James, your point is well taken. However, teaching students to troubleshoot is equally important to writing a line of code. Hardly anyone ever gets it right the first time. How many times have you forgotten to add a semicolon :-)<br>

<div>Mike, thanks for you response. By this point in the semester, all the students know the “more” options. My point was that setting a variable has default duration 0, and so setting a list or array item should also have default duration 0. Setting an item
of a list or an array has no visible effect in the world, and therefore has no reason to take 1 second.
