May the compiler be with you.
Be one with the compiler, and you shall prosper greatly.

Yes.
My best code is written with the delete key.
Oh wow yes. I sort of grew up on these boards and 99% of what I said when I was like 12 makes me wonder why I wasn't banned.
Hey, who unbanned Xterria?
If I did your homework for you, then you might pass your class without learning how to write a program like this. Then you might graduate and get your degree without learning how to write a program like this. You might become a professional programmer without knowing how to write a program like this. Someday you might work on a project with me without knowing how to write a program like this. Then I would have to do you serious bodily harm. - Jack Klein
Except in Prelude's case, instead of looking back and saying "Wow, I didn't know how to use pointers!", it's more like "Wow, if I had used the Melkin-Schwartz Algorithm instead of the Jameson Algorithm, I could have shaved a couple of milliseconds off each iteration! God, I was such an idiot!"
*The Melkin-Schwartz Algorithm is patent-pending, until I'm able to change my name to Melkin-Schwartz

I'm in the same boat as Prelude in that situationOriginally Posted by SlyMaelstrom

No. I only think I was a freakin moron. Now I'm the center of the universe.

Isn't that more suited to the '# of planets in the solarsystem' thread? And I think it was disproved before you were born ... sorry mate.
Actually I'm disproving most claims by stating mine a the true and valid one.

On the other hand, I used to be arrogant, now I'm just perfect.
Yeah, but fortunately people have short memories. You can regain your reputation in a few hundred posts.
Haha. So true, so true. You've voted, right, joe. Voted yes, right?Yeah, but fortunately people have short memories. You can regain your reputation in a few hundred posts.
Back when I used to post about a couple times per day I think people were annoyed at me. Now I come here if I'm bored and people hardly know who I am

When I look back on posts, I see the reason I joined the boards - my first post
was helping someone, and nearly all since have been helping people as well.
I don't post questions, because I haven't come up against many that I couldn't
answer on my own through a little research/trial and error. I've given wrong
advice in the past and been corrected, and in that manner I've learned a lot of
interesting and subtle things. I never feel like an idiot, just misinformed at the
time!
I suppose that would be different if I was like many other members who got into
flame wars with some of the higher ups (namely against quzah) - that's just
stupidity squared unless you have undeniable evidence that you're right! I love
being corrected by someone more experienced - it's nice to know that there's
plenty left to learn.
I've helped a lot of noobs get started around here, and I sometimes wonder
about the possibilities of where they might end up. I enjoy tackling some of the
projects people present here for myself - easy way of finding new things to try
out.
No No's:
fflush (stdin); gets (); void main ();
Goodies:
Example of fgets (); The FAQ, C/C++ Reference
My Gear:
OS - Windows XP
IDE - MS Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition
ASCII stupid question, get a stupid ANSI

Good class architecture is not like a Swiss Army Knife; it should be more like a well balanced throwing knife.
