And another hint. Try running through your program on a piece of
paper. List all the variables across the top, and draw columns, one
for each variable. As each variable is assigned, put its value in the
column, crossing out any previous values. At each decision point see
what the current values of the variables are and take the decision
accordingly. Just another debugging method.

Both Mike's initial post and Bart's post are well worth reading, they
will give you a lot of help.
