  In fact, I think the prof. told us he preferred us to also write down and debug before going to 
the lab.  You could debug in your head or on paper.  I did this in my dorm room and then went and 
typed in the program.  Usually I would only have one or 2 bugs or non at all after doing this kind 
of prep.   Spelling errors (syntax error) and bad typing in general were the biggest culprits.
