Thread: Why do you visit cboard?

... and they gave me a pizza instead.

Hmm, there's no "student giving back the community"

Things I like:

* Helping
* Being sarcastic

I can do both here

<homer>Mmmm - pie</homer>

Am I the only one in here that actually got a piece of pie from webmaster?

I'm suppose you're all going to tell them that he didn't give you wine and touch you in your naughty belows, either...

When I started learning C++, I learnt awfully lot by reading the threads, even though I haven't posted many questions (I usually tend to find the solution on my own immediately after posting). For example, giving up using things like:

Code:

bool foo()
{
    if (something == x) return true;
    else return false;
}

Another thing is that one of the best ways to learn is to teach others. (Trying to explain something to others or to solve others' problems makes you research and form a clear understanding of things that you have limited understanding of. Also you get to exercise finding problems in code.)

One should try to avoiding biting too large bits, though. If a topic is completely beyond your abilities, in your eagerness to help you might give complete noob advice which completely misses the target.

I still find a lot to learn here (even more perhaps, when people start using C++0x more). I do find threads about keeping the console open less and less exciting, though.

Odd that the options

* "Because I'm better than everyone else and I like to let them know it"
* "Because I'm writing a book and I need questions for the FAQ"

weren't there

> I do find threads about keeping the console open less and less exciting, though.
Hence what brewbuck said about sarcasm

I came here 'cause I didn't understand pointers, how unoriginal? xP Anyways, it has been awhile since I've been here, I've just been working, am going to collage soon, but I'm still option #5 ... I want to tell others what to do! *whine*

Mingw of code::blocks gave an compile-time error. So used that good old DJGPP. Compiled fine with an warning.

Just in case if you are wondering what the output would be, here's a hint:
Theme is pi->e =pie.
Wonderful obfuscation!.
