Oh I know what to do. Get a thick black marker. Draw a circle approximately 12 inches in diameter at head height on a wall. Hit wall in middle of circle with head, repeat process until problem no longer matters or loss of consciousness.

Hope that helps

I can't wait to take JAVA next semester now :(, when I took the prerequisite for this it was all C++ now they switched to the program on me, now I have to go into a JAVA course where 90% of the class is going to have some experience with it :(... wish me luck! (I'll need it)

good luck....

i audited a java class once... it made no sense... then i got the lowest midterm score in the class... then i decided java sucked... but realized i sucked... so i left the class.

going from c++ to java is pretty easy actually , if you read the docs provided with the jdk then you can find out everyhting you need in way of functions and classes, other than that C++ and java are extremely similar in syntax so its a fairly easy crossover, i did it in about 2 weeks

It's all about objects. I love java. It is a very clean language. No worrying
about memory memory allocating and de-allocating, like in C++... ;)

hmm... can anyone reccomend a good book about going form C++ to JAVA? I have only taken one course on C++ and it wasn't that detailed... I know little about pointers, but I do understand how classes work and how to make my own classes...

I would recommend &quot;Java How to Program&quot; by Deitel &amp; Deitel for a good all around
Java Programming book. :D

&quot;You think your Commodore 64 is pretty neato; What kind of chip do you got in there, a dorito?&quot;

anyway, for the most part, java makes sense. however, some of the crap i have to deal with as a beginner =(

i have no real programming experience... objects are so confusing... but i get it for the most part.

anyway, i still dunno when i should make a method static or not or a class private or public... go figure...

Ditto. But then, I'd better like it since design, development, and coding has been my job for the last 5-1/2 years. And about 4-1/2 of those years have been mostly Java work :).

The automatic memory management (garbage collection) usually works well, although I do wish I could do it myself. I can't help thinking that it would be more efficient. It seems that it should be possible for a language to support both garbage collection *and* manual [de]allocation.
