i hate coding man... I REALLY HATE IT!!!

[shadowfaX]

Hm... programming is fun... I'm used to dealing with frustrations that I often run into (sadly, I'm not a wiley programmer 😉). Sometimes it gets a little obsessive and interferes with my daily life, ie, when I'm trying to think of a solution to a simple problem... if ___ then ___ ...

Yes, I really don't like C++ most of the time. The AP test is going to be bad. 🙂



<< It's great...just find some way to make it fun...spend a few hours finding all the possible ways to cause a program to crash. Null pointers are fun. >>



Do NULL pointers really work? A kid in my class was thinking of doing that along with an infinite for loop to run through all the pointers, but he figured Dr. Watson would catch it so it'd just be a waste of his time.

<< ERROR! TOO MANY ERRORS! >>

That's one of my favorites. I like when MSVC decides that 100 errors is too many for me, so it adds 2 more errors to the list, something along the lines of &quot;Max. error limit reached, stopping compilation&quot;, and &quot;Compilation aborted due to excessive errors&quot;

that's one thing about M$VC. I still don't like it. but my trust worthy Watcom is outdated, so does Borland. so until Borland's new RAD IDE came out, I have to live with M$ under Windows. and of course, I could use ultraedit with PGCC..

ERROR! TOO MANY ERRORS!

Yeah, GCC/G++ has that on as well. It's also got &quot;confused by earlier errors, bailing out&quot;.

It's 10 years since I last did any and 19 years since the first attempt - but it bored the sh!t out of me.
It was always the weirdos in class that knew how do do everything so easily too 😉
I was totally lost with Machine Code!

When I was in high school and taking ap comp. sci. I loved coding, but then I entered college, and now I HATE IT! This stuff is hard, I have to actually think. I mean in high school it was syntax, but now its logic + syntax, I can't stand this, but since my parents are paying for college I guess I am stuck in cs 🙁

 

[FOBSIDE]

i think my ultimate project was the one i never got working properly. instead i got the BSOD EVERY time i compiled and ran the program. no idea how i did it either...so sad.

Gunther: LOL I'm in your situation right now . . . (although we did cover logic in HS, just not at an accelerated rate as in college).

 

[esung]

not just logic and syntax, theory is also important 😛

 

[javathehut]

well when you guys start working, efficiency is also important! So now you have 4 things to worry about, syntax, logic, theory and efficiency!
