Getting myself ready to do Launchcode.org's "coding challenge", basically the first step towards getting an interview with them
they say to watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnM3dsefgvY
and then do this practice test
https://www.hackerrank.com/tests/ioa3k1bq/20d367dea19077ca7ececdd3a8fcd5e7
and then the actual thing is timed at 90 minutes with three sections and you can use whatever language you want. I dunno hopefully I don't buttfuck it so hard they laugh in the office and never call me

I can't help but notice this guy seems like a fucking idiot about solving these problems. He was given a plain English description of exactly what he needed to do, and yet was acting as if he was trying to find out what it was that the question was asking him to do.
I can fucking solve the goddamn challenge faster than him.void countUp(int start) {
for (int i = 1; i < 10; i++) {
printf("%d then ", start + i);
}
printf("%d", start + 10);

i had previously used IDEs and let them handle the compiling and whatnot, so i didn't completely understand what was going on when i hit the "compile and run" button

Why didn't you use Vim? You would learn all that without pain.
>>51502452
Why C? C++ is the first language I learned and I don't think it was necessarily helpful to do so. I think C would have been even less helpful to learn first.
>>51502902
I'm not so sure either. But c/c++ teaches you very well that everything is basically nothing but a series of pointers pointing at arrays.
Knowing that changes how you program, but javascript guys get things done more quickly
>>51502926
It's not really helpful 'knowing' that IMO. I don't know if that changed how I program because I started with it, but these days I expend a lot of effort into not thinking about things like that.
>>51502926
You are ignorant.
Modern C++ (the proper way of writing C++) doesn't use raw pointers. Also, everything is not a series of pointers. Pointers are just features that some programming languages support.
JavaScript guys will get things done more quickly and more safely than C guys.
>>51502950
Pointers still form the foundation of C++. People did overuse pointers in the past, although even with C++98 that was poor form. Thinking about memory as locations that can be accessed with pointers is... still as 'helpful' as it has ever been.

Python has shorter names and is generally shorter than Java (and more verbose in all its friggin docs, look forward to being eternally spoon-fed you entitled swine).

do you ever have a moment where you remember why you love programming?

It's important to differentiate between 'user applications' (ie, the stuff being written largely by the ppl on /g/), and 'library code'.
Library code relies heavily on low-level coding approaches such as heavy pointer use. This allows them to have the efficiency demanded by library code.
User applications however isn't the place for low-level code. Rely on the abstractions provided by good library code. That way the complexity of user application code is easier to reason about, and efficient, without getting bogged down in the details of low-level structures &tc. implementations.
This is the essence of modern C++. But make no mistake, pointers are still very important, but don't typically use them you'reself.
I would say python then c++ and if you still enjoy it by then pick up C# or java.
Those three langs above make for a well rounded programming toolkit.
Python os easiest -- the simple syntax and readability will allow you to focus on implementing logic into your program without getting too fustrated.
C++ is actually a lot like python, just a lot more low level too. You have to be more explicit with C++ in telling it what you want. It wont hold your hand as much as python. Youll learn about memory management and making the most out of properly designed OOP. Plus you *essentially* learn a bit of C while learning C++ (C++ = C plus a bunch of extra library stuff)
Lastly with C# or Java, its kinda the best of both words. These langs meet halfway between python and C++. These are good for making a full project but still doing so with some ease. Python is a scripting language and is good for quick problem solving but may not be the best choice for a single solution to a large project .
C/C++ could also be used for entire projects but could be more work than necessary - often, only speed critical parts of a program are written in C/C++ (as its very fast).
C# and Java are very popular in the 'real' world and a lot of enterprise code is written with these langs.

>>51504440
It's simply an artifact of institutions trying to cater to women and other minorities. However industry wants less and less to do with CS programs (predictably) when looking for developers. They go increasingly to CE and EE graduates, because they have been exposed to real-world problems and those programs stress solid engineering approaches, not "muh cute fluffy bunnies".
Python itself is a nice language when coupled with good libraries, but programs using it to introduce programming are not.
>>51504469

>>51501312
Building a Lisp, implemented in the following way with the help of Objective-C, YaCC, Lex, and itself:
This Lisp is called Valutron. It is architected as an integrated compiler-VM; essentially, this means that code, when entered at the REPL, is first converted into Cons trees, and then mapped down to primitive operations at the stage of evaluation. These primitive operations control a register VM, which operates on Cons cells and Objective-C objects representing Lisp values, and which is implemented as threaded code for maximum performance.
This form was chosen to make it possible to implement continuations easily and to promote good performance. At this point I have described how it implements a basic Scheme-esque Lisp. The VM, as I explained, operates natively on Cons cells. Implemented in Valutron itself are more extensible versions of some primitives like eval; these functions are registered with the VM and, from there on, replace the primitives with themselves.
Here is where Valutron offers a feature called V-expressions. V-expressions are an alternative to S-expression notation for code. They are low in the number of brackets characteristic of S-expressions, and are instead primarily algebraic-style infix. These are implemented by using reader macros. I am going to look into integrating a shift/reduce GLR parser that may have productions and rules dynamically altered at runtime, which will allow the extension and modification of V-expression syntax as well as even creating new DSLs with unique syntax.
The pièce de résistance is an object model inspired by the CL Object System, the first ever standardised object-oriented system, which was designed as part of Common Lisp. This is implemented in terms of the Objective-C runtime and hence the full dynamism of Smalltalk, Objective-C, and CLOS are available. The Objective-C runtime used was extended in order to support double dispatch, making available CLOS' characteristic multi-methods.

Well I spent 10 minutes typing up a response only to have a window pop up and backspace take me back a page. Fuck built-in keybinds. All programs should have fully user customizable keybinds.
Anyway, it isn't type safe. Imagine a func that takes two or more maps and performs a union on their elements with key precedence going to maps listed first. Well you could have the function declaration look like this:func mapUnion(a, b, map[interface{}]interface{}, ...map[interface{}]interface{}) (interface{}, error)but there are problems with this. Well, the user must explicitly convert their maps to map[interface{}]interface{} before the function call. To alleviate this you can make the arguments just pure interface{}. Now what must be done by the function? It has to fist check that all parameters are maps and that all the maps have the same type (or you could do it so that if the types are different you put everything into a map[interface{}]interface{}, but that will be impossible to deal with as I'll get to).
Here's where shit gets gay. If you use the type switch you talked about you either 1) have to write a 400+ line type switch to deal with all the built-in types as both keys and values, AND not be able to cover any user defined types, or 2) use the reflect library which is slow and stupid unsafe.
Finally you have to return the finished map, which you can do as a map[interface{}]interface{} or as an interface{}. The second is better because you can just do a simple type assert instead of a copy and assert. However you can't just do that, you have to make the user checks the error before doing the type assert or you might be type asserting a nil, which is bad. And of course doing this precludes the ability to mesh maps of different types because the type of the map output is indeterminate unless you know the types of all the maps going in.
The entire process is shitty as fuck. Thank god that go generate exists so you can do template generics.

Garbage collection is much more optimised than the atrocious excuses for programs and libraries pumped out by C fanatics who don't understand that C must be treated with extreme respect in order to avoid anything from leaking memory to segmentation faults.
In fact, manual memory management with malloc() and free() directly is one of the least efficient forms available. There's a reason why applications where high control of memory is important, for example game engines, usually implement arena/zone allocators and deletion queues instead of throwing malloc() and free(), primitive instruments, all over the place.
Manually managing your memory today, without doing so only so you can implement a more advanced system atop (like the systems found in game engines,) or in situations like OSdev where you have no choice, is nothing more than cargo-cult posturing.

You're contradicting yourself you retard.
Implementing memory arenas is easy and makes memory management dead simple (and very efficient).

I already did. Specifically, I wrote a precise-tracing incremental garbage collector with copying for Valutron. I implement the core of the VM in Objective-C; I maintain my own Objective-C runtime library that includes a conservative tracing garbage collector, which is bypassed for much of Valutron since I have written a superior GC for its use, unconstrained by the limitations of the C memory model.
This is wildly different to "hurr durr i can use malloc and free directly lets use them instead of leaving the work to a library that knows better :D."
>>51506913
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ricom/archive/2005/05/10/416151.aspx
Take a look here.
Note that, until Chen had wildly optimised his dictionary to a degree that is totally inappropriate for all but the very most performance-intensive applications, the garbage-collected dictionary had superior performance. I won't get too much into how this works, but it is probably a product of techniques like deletion queues (which allow the program to free a whole set of garbage at a convenient time, rather than inline one-at-a-time, which is slow) and generational collection (which is designed to allow the very quick freeing of objects that aren't used for long.)
>>51507252
What are you talking about? Of course implementing arenas is easy. It is also a style that is NOT suited to everything; good luck taking your average piecemeal-deallocating program and trying to convert it to the 'all-at-once' arena model! It really has to be designed with such paradigms in mind.

Yes it is.
>good luck taking your average piecemeal-deallocating program
You would never do that in the first place.
Actually even arenas are overkill most of the time, a large chunk of every day programs can get by with ZERO dynamic allocation (i.e allocate everything you need at startup statically, program runs to completion with no allocation/deallocation at runtime).
This is especially true on 64 bit platforms which has massive address spaces.

This way of looking at things is why we have web browser which uses 2gigs of ram and chokes on low powered laptops, Visual Studio takes longer to cold start than my OS and despite the fact that computers have gotten several orders of magnitude faster the general computing experience has gotten more sluggish.
For people who care about software quality and the users experience, performance is ALWAYS important.

>fucking baboon can't possibly know what a "memory model" is, much less the "C memory model".
Lol. You seem upset. Like many terms in computer science, it is overloaded with multiple definitions. In this instance, this baboon is referring to C's very low-level structure, the inability to discern pointers from integers, and the layout and existence of the stack. If you are an obsequious FizzBuzz champion like yourself, you would fail to immediately realise what is meant and start rattling out a random insult.
>well memed
Read for yourself.
>>51507531
Is that memory management to blame, or architecture? I would suggest the latter, of which memory management is just a component. Both Firefox and Visual Studio are huge and there are no doubt myriad ways they can be improved, and looking to their memory management is one approach.
That being said, I can't support optimisation until a program becomes totally incomprehensible and gains a large and confusing codebase except where eking out the final 2% gain is truly important.
>>51507448
>Yes it is.
No it isn't. Allocating memory in blocks that are released at once is not the right way for many situations where you need piecemeal control of data. That's not to say that there are projects that can benefit from arena allocators and projects that can't - in most projects of any size, there are areas where arena allocation is sensible. But it's not a panacaa.
>a large chunk of every day programs can get by with ZERO dynamic allocation
I don't disagree that many can. I don't usually write them. Most of my programs deal with indeterminate input and have no set point of termination.

>50% gain
Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe you'd get a 200% loss v.s. garbage collection. 50% is not a huge gain except in performance-critical areas, of course.
>not in gc languages
Yes with GC. Stop saying GC by the way - it betrays your lack of understanding as to what garbage collection is, because its implementation is rarely specified in detail in any language specification. Anyway, with GC it is possible for a single unreferenced object to be freed, rather than a whole arena. Many GCs use arenas as well and copy data out of them if necessary. It's a very complex algorithm usually and I won't bother trying to explain it fully.

You are the one spewing ignorant crap. I doubt you've ever written anything other than FizzBuzz. Maybe a Sudoku solver at most.
How do YOU propose to solve this problem? Don't say 'use static pools' because they cannot cope with indeterminate memory usage, and you would implementing a dynamic allocator, however crude, atop these. Don't say stack allocation either - the stack is, in fact, much like a stack of arenas, from which you may dynamically allocate memory.
