I've noticed that some people post huge programs that don't work. Isn't it normal to test the parts of a program as you add them in.

Nice work detective. Brilliance.
That's why they post for help.
The world is waiting. I must leave you now.
Shadow, you sure are a misfit! What I mean is if you write a huge program, and don't test any of the parts, the chance of it working isn't very good, is it? Is that the recommended way to do it? It seems to be common.
> Is that the recommended way to do it?
Sure, why not.
> Shadow, you sure are a misfit!
I don't sit around and make friends with Unregistered's, that's for sure.

If I wrote a huge program, without testing the parts, I'd have errors on top of errors, and probably never get it working.
I don't understand why you guys dislike Unregistereds. Hardly anyone here uses their real name, so we're all anonymous. The real reason anyone registers is to show off their skills.
I agree that some people seem to have problems with cut and paste. Perhaps this board should have a tutorial "How to cut and paste". It often happens that programs aren't compilable at all, even though the person who is posting it, is talking about "the program doesn't work".I've noticed that some people post huge programs that don't work.

Once again sherlock holmes....that's what this board is for.
I've posted many a programs that I couldn't even get to compile - AND I WAS WONDERING WHY.

That would only happen if the code was wrong. Make sure it's right.

I don't speak for anyone else. If you post a stupid question you'll get a stupid answer.

Wrong.
If you write a huge program, and it doesn't work, the code is wrong. Make it right. Ask how to make it right if you don't know how.
No code. No real programming questions like, "function X doesn't work!".
This belongs in the general discussions board.

Take Quzah for example:
He sounds awful programmed to me, but on this board he's God (shouldn't that be Allah?), at least that's what his posts say.
> Take Quzah for example:
Ok.
Quzah is a very smart individual who has lots of knowledge of programming. He tries to guide you in the right direction so you may learn things the correct way. When quzah spots a problem in your code, change it. He knows what he's talking about. When quzah replies with confidence, I actually like that because it's reasuring that he can correctly answer my question.
Quzah is truly a gifted individual.

Praise to Quzah!
No but seriously, those who have the skill, answer the questions. Those who require guidance ask. Those who think they can give direction but never ask for help are the true newbies.
Asking the right question is sometimes more important than knowing the answer.

I must say, this makes no sense to me.
1) What exactly is "sounds awful programmed"?Originally posted by Unregistered

2) The title 'God' is not something I specified.
3) A name is just a name. Quzah is a name I picked. It has nothing to do with my race or religion or any other significance.

Actually the reason I registered is so I can go back and edit my post for things like typos, since I have always signed my posts anyway.Originally posted by Unregistered

If you have written a huge program, how did you make sure it was right? If you have never written a huge program, then ignore this question.
