I struggled with an assignment for many hours, which supposedly takes the instructor 10 minutes to do. It wasn't "hard" or anything, i just couldn't get my pointers stored in an array of pointers.
Took someone less than 5 minutes to fix my problems, and debug my program.
Wow!
When you were in HS or college, did you jump straight into coding or did you try to understand the core concepts behind pointers, arrays, etc?
