"Her teacher says she's good at it but lacks the patience to deal with the frustration of trial and error"

I am confused, don't the draw flowcharts these days to design code so that the 'trial and error' of coding is minimised?

When I did 'O'-level Computer Studies* in ninety-seventy-something, there were six boys in the class, and the teacher was female.

*(I got an 'A', thanks for asking, but I was doing 'A'-level mathematics at the same time, so I found the arithmetic parts of the examination trivial.)
