>I'm already taking an intro to C class
Very cool. I'm a big proponent of learning C well, even if you never plan on using it.

It's...

>So how do kernels then run on different computers regardless of hardware?
There's no magic. The kernel is simply written to recognize and interface with supported hardware. The broader range of...

A bootstrapping compiler is a compiler, nothing more, nothing less. It just happens to be written in the same language it compiles.

>How would it relate to 'kernels as an abstraction layer for hardware'?
The kernel talks to the hardware so that applications don't have to consider every possible hardware configuration. It would...

Write an initial compiler for your new language in an existing language (ex. the first Pascal compiler was written in...

Ethical or not, we don't answer questions about how to hack. It's against Daniweb's rules.

>Is computer programming worth it?
Yes. Programming is one of the few fields where you can flex your creativity and not starve. Besides, I'd much rather be constantly learning than get into a...

Did you do any research before posting here? What did you find and why wasn't it sufficient?

>You should have been able to deduce that I am not an expert to the field
Oddly enough, I was able to figure that out.

>How true can my theory be?
It's about as close to bullshit as an honest theory can be. Knowing a programming language doesn't make one a master programmer. Learning languages is a good thing, but...

>My question is, is F# a really good language, and whether it is useful to learn.
It's a decent enough language, and I always advocate learning new languages when you can. F# is useful, to answer...

>help me out!
Ask a specific question, and then say "please". We're not slaves you can order around. :icon_rolleyes:

I'll conclude by linking you here (http://www.eternallyconfuzzled.com/tuts/datastructures/jsw_tut_hashtable.aspx) on the off chance that it'll help you organize your thoughts into something coherent...

Well, your algorithms book must explain things in the chapter, right? Which book is it? I might have it.

Excellent! But that still leaves us at an impasse as you still haven't provided enough information for anybody to help you. Please describe your "open hash with B1 buckets" and the desired "one with...

If by "help" you mean "do it for me", you can kindly **** off. If by "help" you mean "help", we'd be glad to, but your post is lacking in the necessary information to provide said help.

>What is the difference between programming and scripting?
Scripting is generally thought of as application extension that cannot run without the aid of a hosting application. Shell scripts, for...

That's pure BS. Very few, if any, C++ programmers have "mastered" C++. The biggest weakness of C++ when...

They're full of shit. By that logic, trying to learn C++ is also no good because you won't know what the concept of "classes" is. You have to learn it somewhere. :icon_rolleyes:

Thank you for not dismissing my comments straightaway.

I can only imagine what you expected. I have...

>Not sure who all is responding to my post
That would be me, as can easily be seen in the list of posts. I don't see any other replies to you, so I'm not sure why you're not sure.

>if you think this guy knows what he's talking about
I'm sure you're simply trying to be witty, but speaking of yourself[1] in the third person is generally viewed as highly pompous. A smiley would...

Start by looking at the code for an open source browser. If you want to write it from scratch, you've got your work cut out for you.

It's never too late to start, but the game industry is incredibly competitive, so four to six years might be unrealistic for the dream job, depending on what exactly you want to do. However, getting...

Then replace "pay attention in class" with "learn the material in time to do the damn assignment".

Hopefully a failing grade will teach you to pay attention in class.

Anything more complicated than the hello world program.

>If you base your philosophy on not cheating, then you become to be cheated
Cheat everyone else before they can cheat you, eh? That sounds like the perfect way to rationalize immoral behavior.

>Who do you think cares quality in todays world?
You fail. My opinion of you just dropped considerably.

>How does this cheating thing works when you have an actual job? Tell me, I'm curious..
Cheating when the goal of an assignment is to learn only hurts yourself. "Cheating" when the goal is to get a...

Um...what? It seems like you have a skewed idea of the difference between C# and VB.NET.

I hate it when it seems like I'm being ignored. I'll quote the relevant part of my post one more time, then refuse to answer your question again if you continue to ask the same question after being...

>There is still a confusion with Visual Basic and Visual Studio and .NET.
Not in this thread. The OP said VisualBasic, which while vague can be assumed to mean VB.NET because the alternative is C#...

Unless you care about working out the math for the diminishing size of the inner loop (in which case you shouldn't have any problem with it), the complexity is quadratic because that's the upper...

>I wouldn't want people to become discouraged over it just because they're not learning right.
As opposed to becoming discouraged because somebody told you it was easy and now you feel stupid? When...

C# and VB.NET (probably what your friend meant by VisualBasic) are essentially the same language with a different look and feel. Pick which one you're more comfortable with and go with it.

>In spite of what Narue said, programming isn't hard by itself.
You could only have that opinion if by "programming" you mean "typing code". People who say that programming isn't hard are either too...

>I am not the best at it at all by any means
Nobody started out knowing what to do and how to do it. We all needed to learn how to solve problems effectively and efficiently. Unfortunately, there's...
