Thank God for Java!

@derail on
And this is why I gave up on C++ after a few days of learning.
Well, didn’t because of this exact example but because everything felt hacky, there was always 3-4 approaches to a single problem and there was constant debate over which option is better for the XYZ compiler, always pay attention to pass pointers and references instead of objects because they’ll get passed by value by default, manage header and source files separately, etc. Ouch… It just felt so yesterday (no jokes, can’t really describe it any better than that 
) compared to modern languages like Java or Python. :clue:
Don’t get me wrong, I can see it’s benefits too but I don’t think the extra amount of work you put in is worth that extra performance. Not for most of us at least. And if you want to go low-level (eg. to write drivers) you don’t really have any other option to go with.
@derail off
Java and C++ attempted a test in class.
P.S. This is my own creation.
The E-- confused me for a minute until I realized that was a grade In the US the lowest letter grade you can receive in primary education is a F.
I didn’t know that. Here, our grades go from A to G. I’ve added ++ and – just because it’s related to languages.

“Knock, knock.”
“Who’s there?”

Why did the programmer quit his job? Because he didn’t get arrays.
Q: “Whats the object-oriented way to become wealthy?”
A: Inheritance
Why programmers like UNIX:
unzip, strip, touch, finger, grep, mount, fsck, more, yes, fsck, fsck, fsck, umount, sleep
Notes for people who don’t know UNIX commands/think the above is a dirty irrelevant joke:
UNIX: fsck
UNIX: finger
UNIX: grep
Last joke overboard? :persecutioncomplex:
I’ll delete or make a spoiler that’s marked as 18+
:persecutioncomplex:
Not really a joke, but this is valid code:
// the face of disapproval
public static void ಠ_ಠ(String s) {
throw new Error(s);
}
Useful for all your exception handling needs!
You can replace some semicolons (
in a project with greek question marks (;) and watch people try to hunt down the syntax errors they cause.
