I was ten when I first started learning BASIC so it wasn't until a few years later that I first encountered algebra as a late year lesson in math class. By that time x=x+1 was very much ingrained into my way of thinking so I had to unlearn some of that before I could understand algebraic equations. Wonder how many other kids of that era ended up going through the same process.
