Coding brought me up in school!

My graduate courses are killing my grades and ME, I have 0 time to program for fun or really do anything for that matter!
And on top of all of that, I teach and grade C++ students! :frowning:

They are killing me slowly. I am always stressed and over worked!

Pattern Recognition (first project is to implement a handwriting to text program, yes we are given an image of handwritten text, e.g. letter and we have to convert it all to text. eek! We have to find hypercubes in nth dimensional space. Our last homework had 11 dimensions that we had to find the distance between nth dimensional blobs and their intersections…

Computer Security. We have had to implement various encryption/decryption/hacking/analysis programs almost every week! Its so stressful!

Advanced Algorithm Analysis. We study all of the various programming algorithms, most commonly sorting but dozens of other non sorting things as well. Not only time and computational complexities, memory usage, and dozens of other aspects as well.

:clue: :frowning: >:( ??? :-X :’( :emo: :cranky: :expressionless:

You are frightening me!? I never had any homework in school.

Coding basically killed my grades and social life. But I started coding seriously when I started high school so maybe that wasn’t The best idea. I figured it out now though ;D

My grades were based on how well I programmed. Now I’m paid based on how well I program. So…I just keep programming to do better in life.

If we are talking High School…well, in my opinion, High School was too easy to get bad grades. Even considering AP classes and dual credit college courses.

Since I usually come too late to topics, here a reply to ‘Grades in school’:

When I started progamming I only got a 1 in grdae 9 and 10, now I’m in 11 (in germany, 1 is the best and 6 the worst), before I was more at about 2 to 3.

Yeah I really have to say that it helped me a lot :slight_smile:

He-he. Coding hasn’t “effected my grades”, it was my determination that brought them up recently, but I’ll definitely say, programming has given new light to my understanding of mathematics, as well as allowing me to question it and test it’s applications- although I can never come to a new conclusion other than what has been set down for me already :P.

It depends on how much you do it, I guess.

I was up until 3AM working on programs before I was homeschooled, luckily I can go without a bit of sleep.
