Thanks for any hel...

I have to start a new string at each occurrence of the string "ATG", but I don't want to actually stop the first match at the "ATG". Valid input is any ordering of a string of As, Cs, Gs, and Ts.

I am trying to figure out the following: If both Python and JavaScript use the IEEE 754 standard, why is it that exe...
