Programming class

[Hdx]

Well... My class sucks, were learning Java.. And we're going REALLY slow.
We're in what the 3rd-4th week and werer only to If statements -.-
If yall wana look you can find out course work here:
http://hdx.no-ip.org/Labs/
Post comments, Code, etc..etc.. anything you have to say about my shitty class
~-~(HDX)~-~

[Ergot]

Beats having no class.

[Sidoh]

I'll have to agree with Ergot.

[Hdx]

Not true. I'm reading the "JAVA for AP* Computer Science" book and I'm already to teh switch() cases.
~-~(HDX)~-~

[Sidoh]

SWITCH?! @_@  Daaammn..

[Ergot]

I would LOVE to have a teacher. Even the stupidest one. Independent learning is quite difficult...

[Hdx]

SWITCH?! @_@  Daaammn..

Shuit it, ive only read the 1st chapter -.-
Just got the book today.
Oh and stupied question, absolute value allows for deimals right? (Sorry I'm tired)
Oh and I suggest yall doo all the assighnments there easy.
~-~(HDX)~-~

[Sidoh]

Was just kidding.
Fun.
Yes.  Absolute value accepts any real number.
Hehe.

[Hdx]

KK, was trying to decide to use a Double of an int.

Code: [Select]

public class AbsoluteValue {
public static void main(String args[]) {
double input;

System.out.print("Enter a number and I'll tell you it's absolute value: ");
input = TextIO.getlnDouble();
System.out.print("The Absolute Value is: ");
if(input >= 0)
  System.out.println(input);
else
  System.out.println(0-input);
}
}

Code: [Select]

public class Comparison {
public static void main(String args[]) {
double A, B;

System.out.print("Enter Value A: ");
A = TextIO.getlnDouble();
System.out.print("Enter Value B: ");
B = TextIO.getlnDouble();
if (A>B)
  System.out.println("The value of A is greater then the value of B.");
else if(A==B)
  System.out.println("The value of A is equal to the value of B.");
    else
      System.out.println("The Value of A is less then the value of B.");
}
}

Code: [Select]

public class DetermineAge {
public static void main(String args[]) {
int iBorn, iCur;
System.out.print("Please enter the last two digets of the year you were born: ");
iBorn = TextIO.getlnInt();
System.out.print("Please enter the last two digets of the current year: ");
iCur = TextIO.getlnInt();
if (iBorn >= 100 || iBorn < 0 || iCur > 100 || iCur <0) {
System.out.println("Hey but muncher! Dont lie to me. Good bye!");
return;
}
int iAge;
if (iBorn >= 6)
iAge = (100 - iBorn) + iCur;
else if(iBorn == iCur)
iAge = 0;
else
iAge = iCur - iBorn;

String cModi;
System.out.print("Has your birthday already happend this year? (y/n): ");
cModi = TextIO.getlnString();
if (cModi.toLowerCase().equals("n") || cModi.toLowerCase().equals("no"))
  iAge -= 1;

System.out.println("You are " + iAge + " years old.");
}
}So boring!

it's quite simple. i learned VB C++ and C# on my own(but i dont know them perfectly)

Exactly.  Learning on your own is always simple because you move at your own pace.  When you're in a classroom environment, however, you're often forced to move at a pace that is not synonymous with your own.  This often causes frustration, discomfort and a seemingly less productive learning environment.

Contrasty, in a independent study-type environment, you are more comfortable with the material presented to you (by yourself) because you have more time to cover reliant subjects.

Absolute Value of -13.37 is 13.37.

EDIT -

// Task 9: Define the following terms as best you can without looking them up.
//         1.  Programmer
//         2.  Hacker
//         3.  Cracker
//         4.  Cryptography

Asuming that means what I think it means (your school teaches that hackers are not the evil guys), I'm glad to see that at least one school in the world gets it right!

[Hdx]

Yup
well it's not the school, who teaches that. it's jsut Mr. Weddel.
He's a jew but hes the only one who actually teaches any real programming :/
I asked 150 people at my school what a hacker and a cracker were, only 3 actually said the correct answer for a cracker, everyone else said it was a white boy playin as a nigger.
~-~(HDX)~-~

[Sidoh]

ROFL.  Most of my school would have probably guessed the correct answer, since we don't have a single African-American in our entire population.

[Hdx]

Luckey bastard.
We have 79% Specks
14% niggers
6% asians/viets
the rest are white :/
~-~(HDX)`-~

[Sidoh]

Haha, wow.  What's a speck?  Mexican?

We have probably about 90% white, 9.9% mexican/other.  We have a Chinese foreign exchange student! =D

[Hdx]

speck = mexican or someone of hispanic BG.
~-~(HDX)~-~

[Sidoh]

~-~(HDX)~-~

I see.  We just call 'em beaners around here, hehe.

[Joe]

beaners, lol. If I said, yo frank, whaddup beaner, I'd be posting from the hospital

A way I remember hacker vs cracker (besides simply remembering it =p) is..

"hacking" source code is for advanced users
Cracking codes, cracking MD5's, etc, malicious stuff. Crap, wait, I'm a cracker for cracking Agarwaen's MD5 password, har.

[Sidoh]

I think your definitions need revision.

The beaners call themselves beaners around here.  They don't care if we call them that.  We're a pretty tight-knit community, though.

[Quik]

He means 'spic' which is even more racist.

[Hdx]

spic speck same thing,
And have i ever said I was not raciest?
They have to earn my respect before I give it to them, Same goes for adults, and anyone else.

My school is like, 40% white, 20% asian, 20% Brown (They deserve thier own catagory ), and 20% black.

However, at my own leisure pace, it's too slow. I need the pressure and the motivation.

That's why independent studies are often sponsored by a teacher -- so you can develop a curriculum.

I went to school with 1 black guy, but he didn't count, he was half and half.

But, you also get distracted easily.. Or atleast I do.  But, when I am in class I am very focused.

I would LOVE to have a teacher. Even the stupidest one. Independent learning is quite difficult...

I agree.. Except I wouldn't want a stupid teacher.

[Sidoh]

Not when you have a curriculum you have to complete in order to receive a grade.

I wouldn't.  Teachers piss me off when they try to teach me computer stuff.

[AntiVirus]

Sidoh ?

I get distracted when I try and work alone.. When a grade doesn't matter.

But, when a grade does matter, I work a lot better..  That is why I like doing it in school.

You realize that there are independent study courses in school when you get a grade, don't you?  That's why I said 'you develop a curriculum with a teacher.' =P

[drka]

you could always buy a video that explains how to program. i think that video professor has one of these. but im not sure.

[AntiVirus]

Ah!! I see.  At our school they don't incourage that.  So, I kinda forgot about them..

Those kinds of things never work for me.

Most schools do.  It kinda creates a lot more work for a teacher.
