    You have three such code questions up so far. Is this for a test, or homework or something?

    All of your questions can be found in the NEC. If it is an assignment to find them it would help you MUCH more if you found them yourself.

    Looking things up and finding them in the NEC is 3/4 of the battle.
    Someone simply tell you what section to go to is only depriving you of a much needed talent.
