Thread: I want to convert this C program to C#

I am going to have to find the floppy disk hold the assignment in college where I line by line converted a Ada linked list into a C link list.
I need to see how badly I did the job. All I can remember was over using macros to do something I thought was smart at the time.
(Wow, that was 15 years ago.)

The only project I've ever done that was a successful line-by-line (or nearly so) conversion was kind of embarrassing - I ported over some very math-heavy code with minimal edits to do a discrete wavelet transform, because I was too lazy to learn the math involved.

I say embarrassing because in college I actually did research involving the discrete wavelet transform, and only a few years later I was reduced to converting someone else's code because I no longer understood the math and didn't really want to relearn it all.

I did 6 chapters in c now I'm on chapter 7 and can start fresh in the c# language

That is an absurd progression; what book does this?

I see; that is a different thing.

Well, changing gears because you know you'll need C# is a fine reason.

That's automated translation. It would be sort of equivalent of getting a french C programmer to convert some C++ code with english comments to C#, and then get a polish C programmer to translate that C# code back to C++. Twice.

Even with very talented programmers doing the jobs, there's a fair chance the final C++ code will only have superficial resemblance to the original, and that it will not produce the same results.
