I understood the goal it was just wrapped in a problem that wasn't the problem which became the problem rather than the original problem.

The point about 20+ years ago is that's when I took high school math. I'm not going to remember the correlation between these number groupings of something over half my life ago. That was my point is saying it's a ridiculous ask. I did ask my friend and she advised I stay away from Oops and Imperative style languages and learn Purely Functional languages instead. She told me that Oops takes a linguistic element and then semantically wraps it into logic, that's where I've been getting stuck.
