yeah i suppose, man i cant imagine learning C or assmembler or something 
like that. i think i get this issue now though methods arent destructive 
so i am not transforming the range object i am returning a new array 
object and i have to put it someplace in order to use it. I think that 
makes sense now.

Thanks alot for the help you guys i appreciate it, believe me there are 
more questions coming lol.
