can people be this dumb senpai
If you want to code you can take a workshop and learn in a few months then get a job, if you want to bullshit your way through a traditional 4 year program with B's then you're going to have a bad time.
>>54669123
Nice, dude. Who are you quoting though?

Please be honest with yourself when answering

>>54669123
> mfw its 10 lines of strcmp() testing each possible case
okay, he could use an array of strings and loop over them. or maybe even do a binary search.
big deal.
>>54669123
It's true OP. I had to teach a guy the value of loops cause he too just wrote 10 lines of code. Luckily, he understood and vastly improved. In my opinion though, the class itself was very shitty. If I hadn't already known how to program before coming in I would've gotten lost on at least some bits.

>>54670138
It would make much more sense to just convert whatever string is input to all lowercase letters. That's what I did when I fucked with Java, anyway. Accounting for every single case use isn't only retarded, but it's futile. Even for a simple input like "Jessica," there are over 5,000 different upper-case and lower-case variations.
>>54670299
>128 is 5000
wew lad
the "computer science graduates can't program" meme is completely true
I didn't believe it until I started interviewing people. I didn't think it could be that bad.
>>54669253
What's the value of loops when the compiler ultimately unrolls them anyway?
>>54670337
What did you use to calculate that? Now that I'm dwelling on it, I'm pretty sure I accidentally checked for all variations of "Jessica" accounting for case letters and the letters being swapped around.
Still, let's say there's 128 variations. It would be much more time-efficient and less monotonous to just convert the string to all lowercase, if the string has to say a certain word. If the string doesn't have to say a certain word, then accounting for case makes no fucking sense anyway. Just display whatever the user typed in. Let their phone keyboards correct their spelling for them.
>>54669123
100% coverage is great senpai, you'll get paid six figures just for mentioning that in your interviews
>>54670422
Not all variables are static.
In static uses, it still saves time
>>54669123
what an idiot. he should just use a loop to check for even/oddConsole.Write("Enter a whole number...");
int userNumber = Convert.toInt32(Console.ReadLine());
while (true) {
int i = 0
if userNumber = i {
Console.WriteLine("Your number is even!");
}
else {
Console.WriteLine("Your number is odd!");
}
i += 2
}
>>54670422
Because cleaner code
If you have two ways of writing the same thing, and both will ultimately compile into the same shit, then you should opt for the more readable one.
>>54670422
The ultimate reason for creation of high level languages is TO WRITE LESS code. You can do anything in brainfuck, but do you want to?
>>54670468
1 bit for each character to store upper/lower case, 7 bits -> 2^7 = 128.

you are an idiot, how can you be this stupid
>>54670723
lets say writing a shell that takes 10 possible commands.
>>54670655
To avoid frequent use of jumps compiler often repeats content of loops N times, N usually being powers of two. The tradeoff is a bigger program. When the number of times an action is need to be done is not a multiple of N, but rather N+some small M, it jumps to near end of the unrolled loop to execute M instructions first, then to the beginning of the loop(this way it can execute loop multiples of N times, like x*N+M). Depending on how complex the loop is, it can be twice as fast.

just nest it the way you do an if statement

`if a then ( if b then c else d) else e`

I genuinely thought you were trolling. Tip: If your solution include cycling through a limited subset of possible inputs, it's terrible and there's a lot of better ones out there. Sorry, I gotta say it like it is.
The modulo operator gives you the remainder of a division. Hence, it will give 0 if dividing an even number by 2.
But that's easy. An approach like >>54673046 and >>54673092 is pretty much like coding the modulo operation yourself. It forces you to understand what you're doing instead of letting the compiler do it.
Just don't actually do it in a professional setting or you'll be made fun of.

>>54674196
If you're not sure that the variable number is assigned a numeric value, you can't use math operators on it before validating that it's a number, especially if you use a language that cares about variable types, which means all languages used to make machine code and then some.

>>54674393
It is not too much code. This is the proper way to implement a feature that requires printing a string with a part of it depending on a switch. You need to account for localization and possible code changes in the future.
>>54674393
Also, the logic should never be directly handling hardcoded strings. That's a nigger way to code. You should be able to change any text in a program from a single specific area of your code.
>>54674294
my school has a automatic plagarism detector for code which the teacher told everyone about during the first class of the semester. However, so many people still decided to copy some other persons code via literal copy paste and failed out. Renaming variables and such won't prevent you from getting caught. However, they end up getting so many hits from the program they just get the idiots who simply copy pasted in trouble and forget about the rest.
>>54674485
We have this too, I think its pretty standard. Our professor said it will tell him which students had the same number of variables and if they had the same number of integer or String variables and how many methods and things like that each student has so even if you change variable names they get you easy.

>>54674576
>Your right, java doesn't evaluate 1 as true.

}

>>54675677
Actually, you can use braces and keep your single-statement conditionals on a single line:if (condition) { doSomething(); }
But there's literally no point to it. And in fact, you can put a single-statement conditional on two lines, without braces, like:if (condition)
doSomething();
It all comes down to the compiler ignoring whitespace.

are you fucking retarded? modulo 2 is calculated by taking the last digit in the binary representation.
Using a while loop is O(n) whereas checking the last bit is O(1)
you are so dumb it hurts.
>>54676960
>modulo 2 is calculated by taking the last digit in the binary representation.
Although that's a logical way of doing it in the specific case where you are doing modulo 2, I doubt the compiler treats modulo 2 differently than any other modulo. It wouldn't make sense. That would mean compiling it into a different instruction just because it's against 2, and it would have to check for a different bit depending on if the number is a floating point. It's opening the gate wide to errors due to specific situations. If compilers start treating specific operations different because they can be calculated faster when using specific numbers, then there's no limit to how complicated it can get.
Modulo is modulo. It returns the remainder of a simple division. There is no other way to calculate it than substracting y to x until x < y and then returning x.
>>54677147
pplease be a troll
>>54677147

That's not true at all. Modulus is calculated using repeated Euclidian division.
Also, have you ever considered googling "compiler optimization"
>>54677211
No. I'm going entirely on presumption. Looking it up on Google and it seems like I was wrong.
Oh well.
>>54677221
>That's not true at all. Modulus is calculated using repeated Euclidian division.
... Yeah, that's pretty much exactly what I'm saying. Are you doing the thing where you're understanding something different to have something to argue about?
>>54677147
I'd imagine many compilers these days would incorporate such a distinction, I think they do something similar with converting multiplication/division by two to bit-shift operations. Yes, it's added complexity, but the compilers that see widespread use are extensively tested to avoid errors like that, and it does pay off by making the compiled executable more efficient.
>>54677270
Yeah apparently they do. I thought it would be silly to get into this kind of pointy optimization, but I guess it's not.
In my opinion, developers should have in mind to optimize their code in such ways.
Proper coding languages have a lightweight construct to get bits out of numbers, right? I'm not asking rethorically, I actually don't know.

>I thought it would be silly to get into this kind of pointy optimization,
that's all that compilers fucking do, retard
>In my opinion, developers should have in mind to optimize their code in such ways.
mind-bogglingly retarded. the compiler is there to make these optimizations so you don't have to write 'clever' unreadable code just to ensure your / 2 operation is implemented as a bitshift.
>>54677368
>he thinks I'm retarded because I don't want my compiler to wipe my ass for me.
You should be able to optimize your code by yourself. If not, you're an incompetent programmer and don't belong near a computer.
>>54669123
I'm not a coder because I'm fucking retarded but couldn't you do something like num%2=0 then it's even? I'm going off of memory here.
Like, that can't be the right way to do things?

You should probably be a programmer. Some people are studying CS and don't even get that right off the bat. You're ahead of them.

>>54677397
Computers are FAR more efficient at generating optimized code than even highly skilled programmers are. If you care that much about optimizing everything yourself, just write your programs in asm in the first place.

If I pass my finals next week, I am gonna graduate, but I don't even know any programming languages. I gotta google all the syntax.
I'm gonna die in the interviews too, because I get panic attacks when being interviewed by white males. Also, I'm not very presentable.
I don't even know where to look for interviews. Maybe glassdoor?

That's pretty depressing given I'm going off of memory for what little I know. Don't they teach people this stuff in classes or university?
>>54679414
A proper CS program isn't even supposed to be about programming.
Think of a programming language as a hammer.
You don't go to university to learn to swing a hammer.
>>54677240
>No. I'm going entirely on presumption. Looking it up on Google and it seems like I was wrong.
The thing is compilers run multiple "passes" on the input code. For most of the time, 'x % 2' is just 'x % 2' and nothing special, but during optimization passes it is able to transform it into 'x & 1' (and the resulting associated instruction).
Compiler optimizations are actually absurdly complex and powerful, GCC can do some seriously crazy things to your code.
>>54679414
Colleges will teach you to put what you're doing into code but they won't teach you problem solving. That's a skill.
>>54679414
I don't think I learned about modulo until I took discrete math years after high school. Not surprised that people don't know about it in their first year programming classes.

Why notConsole.Write("Enter a whole number...");
int userNumber = Convert.toInt32(Console.ReadLine());
int i = 0;
do {
if userNumber = i {
Console.WriteLine("Your number is even!");
System.Environment.Exit(1);
}
i += 2;
} while(i);
Console.WriteLine("Your number is odd!");

Neat. I know you can always return an error value (or set one) then have the function return early based off of that, but (forgive me, I don't know how asm works), could you just pop twice off of the function call stack? could you do that with inline asm? sounds like fuckery to me

That hurts readability. How can people who aren't math majors possibly understand this? It must be wrong.

What is the assignment?
I've written 10+ strcmp cases before when I was writing a simple file transfer program in c to learn networking.
For example, if a user sent the command 'ls' to me, it's not the same as sending 'LS' because my program is case sensitive. So it's easier to just have multiple ifs like so
if(!strcmp("ls", cmd))...
if(!strcmp("download", cmd))...
if(!strcmp("upload", cmd))...
if(!strcmp("md5", cmd))...
etc.
I don't see what the problem with that is. Yes I can loop over an array of strings and use the index into an array of function pointers, but what's the point? It's slower and harder to understand.

What? Network programming in c, what doesn't add up?

Networking degrees do not include programming in any way.
>>54677628
They are just slightly better at speed optimization(even then it depends on language) and absolutely beaten the fuck out by humans in size optimization.

Why would I do that when there are only like 10 options? It's both slower and harder to read.

How the fuck can someone even fail Calc 2. It's just basic integration techniques and series
>>54669123
I took a computer programming class in high school and the program for even/odd was far shorter than that.
>>54669123
Couldn't he just have checked if the number could be divided by two instead and make another line for 0?
>>54684205
People in general are awful at math nowadays. In fact, one could argue most people always were awful at math, but the very little majority that had an interest in math/were good at it had a lot of opportunities for them, even before the modern era. You had a mathematician per 10000 people, but nowaday high education is accessible to nearly everyone in the western world, so of course, the fields that were once pure are bastardized.

>How the fuck can someone even fail Calc 2. It's just basic integration techniques and series
There's no set standard for it.
The scope of it means you can produce stuff that you were solving in high school to stuff a math degree graduate could struggle with.
That, coupled with the fact they are taught the very same stuff math majors are, simply on a stricter "budget" means those who can't keep up with a faster pace are screwed.
Of course, you get into higher math after that and after such an experience, they are not even required to take the next one and voilá, you've produced another generation of calculus fearing/hating CS grads.
