Report from CS Lecture

I am in a computer science lecture right now. Yes, I am not listening to the professor. I’ve brought my laptop to lecture most of the time; it’s not like listening to the professor will help. So why, you ask, do I bother to go to the lecture at all? Because I have class before this, so I might as well go. We are supposed to be doing some stupid paper handout, but I don’t feel like doing it. 2-dimensional arrays in Java… so difficult! Java’s indexing of arrays is intensely annoying. Well, class is almost over. Back to playing bridge on Yahoo!

Man, was that ever written live. "Yes, I am not listening to the professor." - No shit, your blogging. :D

Oh, Adrian, please explain how arrays are hard in Java? I think it might be that you suck, as arrays are really pretty basic. Ironically, BASIC doesn't have zero index arrays like java, it's arrays start at 1.

Wow. So vindictive.
You'd get annoyed too if you've been using MatLab for everything else and their indices start from 1 and you can reference an element of an n-dimensional array by just calling M[i1, i2, i3..., in]. I guess it's easier for you because you only have to deal with one language.

I might be way off, but in Waterloo, the last time I heard, they were doing Scheme. Sorry Adrian :).
