stupid easy CS class

ugh....my CS class is a joke. The assignments are stupid and tedious, and we have to do all sorts of ridiculous stuff with them, even though they are insanely easy. And so many of them could be done so much more easily with more advanced techniques, but we can't use anything that we haven't gone over in class. Look at how ridiculous these programs are.

Ok...so its an easy A....but still...UGH!
 
wow...so lame..

I also had an easy CS class last semester, but even that was harder than this (like writing a 9 queens program using recursion or checking for kolakosky sequences).

 
my Structured Programming class for me is quite hard. We do java and we're doing some quite complex and detailed arrays. I'm a sophmore in HS

Java is nice! I think it's very easy to learn on. Have fun while you can lest you should learn languages like C or C++ or dare I say assembly.

entry level college.

I just finished assignment 6 tonight. They give us a full week to do these things! Ahh, its such a waste of my time.
 
if youre finished that early, then buff up your program

inserting a character in any of the fields crashes the program!

yea, that's cuz it just inputs to ints...could i have made it work with characters? yup...but I'm a lazy bitch...and that's not required 😛
 
If you've got any skills at all, be prepared for this throughout your entire college experience... I haven't run into a practical class that has at all challenged me yet. The theoretical courses can get interesting... courses on programming language design, or computational theory.

great...yea, I've noticed LOTS of people struggle. My neighbor is a smart kid, has straight 100's in calculus, and he needs my help all the time with this stuff....people were kinda fighting over me when we made lab groups...AHH I want something remotely challenging....9 weeks in, and we are doing for loops/compound conditionals?? come on...

9 queens is easy.. even when programming it for multiprocessor machines!
 
where do you go to college? You might be in a crappy program. The program here at UCSD is very challenging, and we are learning java. Inheritance, OOP, is what we are doin and it's not very easy. Our current program is basically a mini java compiler, which reads a sample program and finds the errors such as incorrect type or no declarations. The programs we do are very tough and require time, but they can be worked through with the help of the tutors.

Maybe you're just not very smart 😀 Just kidding. Programming a parser like the one you're doing is pretty hard. It's very tedious, which makes it even worse.

youre having trouble with 8b?! change your major.

12 is 10x harder than 8 series and still its not that hard.. just veeery time consuming.

btw, i saw you in 8a last qtr.

how thoughtful and encouraging of you 🙂
 
Ah good fun. But I suggest adding a check loop to make sure user puts in the right input. A char in an int would be.... deadly.
 
khlee who are you? I didnt say 8b was impossible, its just time consuming. The programs take a while to finish, but I have never not been able to figure them out.
 
I'm the fvcking retard that sits next to you and has no idea what's going on hah....
