Aha.
I begin to see what you see.
But it's very confusing; I keep bumping into things. I might have to review my opinion of the four-eyes principle.

What's wrong with that? We looked deep within his soul and assigned him a number based on the order in which he joined.

Advice?
The Big Yin has some good suggestions:
Pamela Stephenson
"Billy" ISBN:9780007110926: Tread gently on anyone who looks at you sideways.
Have lots of long lie-ins.
Wear sturdy socks, learn to grow out of medium underwear and if you must lie about your age, do it in the other direction: tell people you're ninety-seven and they'll think you look f****** great.
Try to catch a trout and experience the glorious feeling of letting it go and seeing it swimming away.
Never eat food that comes in a bucket.
If you don't know how to meditate at least try to spend some time every day just sitting.
Boo joggers.
Don't work out, work in.
Play the banjo.
Sleep with somebody you like.
Eat plenty of Liquorice Allsorts.
Try to live in a place you like.
Marry somebody you like.
Try to do a job you like.
Never turn down an opportunity to shout, 'F*** them all!' at the top of your voice.
Avoid bigots of all descriptions.
Let your own bed become to you what the Pole Star was to sailors of old ... look forward to it.
Don't wear tight underwear on aeroplanes.
Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ... He's a mile away and you've got his shoes.
Clean your teeth and keep the company of people who will tell you when there's spinach on them.
Avoid people who say they know the answer and keep the company of people who are trying to understand the question.
Don't pat animals with sneaky eyes.
If you haven't heard a good rumour by 11 a.m., start one.
Learn to feel sorry for music because, although it is the international language, it has no swearwords.
If you write a book, be sure it has exactly seventy-six 'f***'s in it.
Avoid giving LSD to guide dogs.
Don't be talked into wearing a uniform and salute nobody.
Never run with scissors or other pointy objects.
Campaign against blue Smarties.
Above all, go to Glasgow at least once in your life and have a roll and square sliced sausage and a cup of tea. When you feel the tea coursing over your spice-singed tongue, you'll know what I mean when I say: 'It's good to be alive!'. "
I still "boo" joggers on a daily basis.
To add to that:
Read error messages.
Learn how to ask questions - it's a skill, and one that most people never learn.
Discover the debugger.
Definitely never eat yellow snow.
Never argue with idiots or script kiddies.

Or plate it gloriously with some lime, so much better.

Eat cat-food; it's probably more expensive (per kilo) than the bucket, so it must be better stuff. 10 euro/kg for Goedzo, double the price of good quality beef mince. And yes, I did.

All people do; it's called a toilet.

Earth is not an entertainment system; you don't have to like it all. Try finding a decent job that pays your bills.
Pamela Stephenson wrote: Avoid people who say they know the answer and keep the company of people who are trying to understand the question.
So, avoid teachers and learn from the students eh?
Pamela Stephenson wrote: Don't be talked into wearing a uniform and salute nobody.
Since when are firefighters and nurses known to salute?
Pamela Stephenson wrote: a cup of tea.
Good advice for those that cannot handle coffee.

Ahh, now I know what I am doing wrong.

I'd ask google but I'm worried it will laugh at me.

Get a screen name that we can recognize so we know who you are.
14740979 isn't very catchy...

Someone might have said already but the default name is a thing a lot of the spammers use, so your messages might get sent to Bob for moderation... But Hi, play nice. Oh Sanders already said it.

Welcome to Code Project, you're in good hands.
My advice: You can do whatever you want but whatever you do strive to be the best.
Good luck!

Nope, that's a waste of time and energy. I strive to be just above mediocre. That's good enough for me...

There's tons o' neat stuff here, articles to read, and questions to answer with a, "Try using the debugger." 
I wish you well on your computing journey. Programming is always...usually...occasionally...fun.

A big time saving hint.
Since this is your first computer you will, sooner or later, find it acting up in some manner.
Before running off to some expert for repairs do this simple test:
1) Fill bathtub with warm water
2) Add 3.25 lbs (or metric equivalent + 25% duty)
3) Stir until salt is completely dissolved (add water if necessary)
4) Gently place computer on top of the water. Avoid splashing !
5) If it sinks to the bottom of the tub it was defective and should be replaced and not repaired.
. . . you are welcome!

Not only that but as all such thing go it brings you good karma.
As word gets around, relatives and acquaintances no longer annoyingly ask you to fix their PC/Laptop/whatever.
The ideal compliment to that expression "No good deed goes unpunished".

Sounds like a modern version of a witch trial. What relation do you have to your computer?

Being a professional, I took care of the problem a long time back.
You know those openings on the sides and bottom of your computer? Well, I decided they were for coffee when a computer is not alert enough to work correctly. I gave the rebel coffee . . . and made my other systems watch.
No more uprisings since!

Yours lends itself better to ritual (robes, cowls, etc.) at the expense of noise.

Welcome.
Be aware that homework question need to be posted to the QA section to be properly abused and ignored.
We used to have a Soapbox for political and religious arguments but it got boring so we got rid of it. Don't try and start it up again in The Lounge or... 
Have fun!
