>There's no point in learning an language if you don't see the point.. hobbyist or not.
That's true. Though "the point" doesn't need to be any kind of advantage, which is what you're looking for....

>I just want to know where it will have advantages.
So much for the pioneering spirit of hackers and hobbyists... :icon_rolleyes:

>But is it worthwhile learning C if I already know python?
Personally I think everyone can benefit from learning C, but your question suggests that you don't see any point in it. If you're a...

Looks like a pigeonhole sort to me.

At the risk of sounding harsh, I'd say the fact that you're not suited for the field is what's taking you so long. Why do I...

Amortized O(1). While an individual search might be more expensive, in toto the performance is constant. This is...

Probably not, seeing as you appear to have ignored the previous replies to the same question in another thread. We're generally hostile toward people who waste our time.

Why don't you search the post archives? We get this request regularly, and the questions are almost always identical.

>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...

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?

Oddly enough, I was able to figure that out.

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...

It's a decent enough language, and I always advocate learning new languages when you can. F# is useful, to answer...

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.

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:

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.

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.

Cheat everyone else before they can cheat you, eh? That sounds like the perfect way to rationalize immoral behavior.
