Right, and I didn't learn TDD formally. Sorry for using it freely. I write tests in tandem with the implementation and do not write tests and only then the implementation.

When I knew exactly my code's requirements, I wrote the tests first. I was writing an interpreter. Tests-first was a smart move.

I find writing tests first really helps me sort out the requirements if I'm unclear about them.
