Yes I learned how to program on paper. It was when computer access was expensive. We learned how to write code on paper and then go over each line with a table for variable values as we run over the code.<p>I learned BASIC on punch cards using an IBM Mainframe for the junior high school math computer club, and it got changed to the math contest club after they couldn&#x27;t afford computer time anymore.<p>In modern times there are IDEs to help people, but most of my best code I used to write on paper first. Visual Studio kind of ruined that as I wrote code in their IDE and painted forms for GUI access.
