registry?
Keeps most of your program's settings.

Hey guys, look what I wrote today:
//T3AppE03.cpp - calculates and displays a commission amount

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
//hi2u
cout << "omgs hi2u. this class is hard\n\n ";

//declare variables
float sales = 0.0;
float rate = 0.0;
float commission = 0.0;

//enter input items
cout << "Enter your Sales: ";
cin >> sales;
cout << "Enter your Commission Rate: ";
cin >> rate;

//calculate commission
commission = sales * rate;

//display commission
cout << "Your Commission: " << commission << endl;

return 0;
}

//end of main function

I hope that didn't take you more than ten minutes.

sounds like one of my networking teachers at the community college here.

We spent half a semester watching him try to install Netware. He never got it to work. We basically sat there the whole time. He then decided to skip Netware and do Windows 2000 Server. He got that to work after a week. Horrible waste of time.

Ten minutes? That is an insult

Took me like 3 minutes, tops. Then I got bored. So I started neffing on ATOT again.

this is soooooo funny. i took c++ in high school, didnt learn sh1t because the teacher knew a lot of programming language except c++. and i woul djust get someone else's project and change the variable names. hahahahah

My C++ teacher totally rocked. he would just mumble about algorithms, and how math and Cs are brothers. He gave us totally hard programs, that most cs majors had no hope of solving.But I had fun.

we just got the teacher aides who were in our grade to install a keylogger on teachers machine, and used her login to get the solutions for each assignment. we'd just switch around the order of the functions and write our own comments. after those 10 mins we'd just play starcraft or UT2k3 (cs lab with decent comps [p4 2.4c + ti4200] &amp; all the monitors facing away from the teacher = teh fun)

Community college = high school 2.0. I don't think I'd ever go back to a community college again. At least your class will probably be an easy A.

That's a moronic statement. Given the "quality" of today's college courses, I've found that community college teachers tend to actually teach better. This is after seeing 3 different CC. I've taken classes at 2 different universities and my wife has as well. The teachers on average tend to not really care at all about their students.
Not in California where teachers are severly underpaid. No initiatives.



If that is not what you meant then don;t generalize.:D

From my experience, University's have their Gems and so do CC's.

I go to a CC right now and am very pleased...except that calc is being a little bitch rigth now but I'll save that tall tale for later.

Yeah I'm taking some classes this summer at cc to bump my GPA up, taking 12 hours and its easier than high school was, only problem is they are all online and one of the classes (financial accounting) I actually need for my major so its kind of important I learn the stuff, and the teacher doesn't have office hours or answer questions so your own your own.

That's great, but at the end of the day she's teaching the class and you're still taking it :)

I couldn't do that. Sometimes when I'm getting into a game my body likes to pretend it's in the game. :(

OK, I have to admit it. I probably would have cried. That is truely sad (and lame and pathetic...) Shouldn't teachers at least be required to KNOW the field they are teaching??

Ten minutes? That is an insult

Took me like 3 minutes, tops. Then I got bored. So I started neffing on ATOT again.

LOL...great stuff. My HS programming teacher spent all of his time playing Sim City Classic Live online. I took two years of 'C++' -- the second year I was one of TWO kids in the class, one of which dropped at semester. We were lumped together with the first year of C kids, so he really didn't pay attention to us, nor did he really have any class schedule. He gave me this simple Class based project sometime in november, and I kept telling him that I was 'adding more features' -- I spent about ten minutes a week, on monday, telling him what I was doing and implimenting it. It was ATOT the rest of the week. I stretched that project until mid march, lol. The final project was to write ANY program in a language you were unfarmiliar with. I wrote a casic scientific calculator in Java the night before it was due.

It was that class that got me to join ATOT. Good times.

she was talking about input and output devices. I think I said firewire is an input device, but its both...a minor technicality

Bzzzt, wrong answer. Firewire is a bus. I know you probably think it's BS, but if you don't get the lingo down, you're going to get owned if you ever leave the community college and take a real CS or CEG course.
 

i went to a small town, class of 97
i took BASIC programming in high school...i wrote a word processor
in college i learned cobol and pascal
i found out that after i graduated the programming classes upgraded to visual basic

small towns suck
