gonna write a  compiler for this classthe language itself is pretty bad but that's because it's written to be easy to write a compiler for, not to actually use quote:For instance, the language supports less than comparisons but not greater than.

all that talk about two degrees vs. no degrees reminds me of this one supervisor i had when i worked a lovely computer lab job in college. spent 6 years in school his first time around because he started out in comp. eng. and couldn't hack it, switched to a dual major in japanese and east asian studies because anime. graduated, worked a call center job for a year, took two years off for "mental health," then came back to get another bachelor's in IST. what a winner

re: programming languages so i'm taking that online compilers class and during yesterday's lecture he showed three examples of archaic programming languages with ambiguity that can gently caress with lexical analysis fortran, pl/1 guess the third one

the answer is c++ and it's kinda cool so far but they're not real far into it yet. first actual assignments were posted yesterday so if you want in now's the time

ahhh spiders posted:what's the ambiguity in C++? ambiguity's probably the wrong word for it (this is why i'm taking the class, i want to ~learn~) but the example he used was that for a long time compilers saw the closing >s in a nested template declaration (e.g. list<vector<int>>) as the stream operator and you had to put whitespace in there to make it work

so if i'm understanding correctly, it's not that it's impossible to parse, just that it's a pain in the rear end maybe they shouldn't have made ">>" mean 3 (at least?) different things in the first place?

Janin posted:Nested templates vs the bitshift operator are symptomatic of C++'s poor design, but they're not a fundamental issue with the language so much as just a minor mistake in the grammar. Every major compiler will provide a decent error message in C++98 mode, and should accept it in C++11 mode. yeah that was my bad, using words without regard for their actual definition anyway thanks for enlightening me y'all, time to go learn flex apparently

i'm never going to forget the  attempt at an algorithms question i got in my last interview. maybe one of you can make some sense of what the gently caress he was trying to get at:him: "so, you have a circular linked list, you don't know where it starts or ends, and you want to know when you've visited every element. but you can't save anything!" me: "..." him: "but i'll give you a hint: you have two pointers" me: "uh, leave one pointer at the first element you have, traverse the list with the other, and when the two pointers are equal again, you've been through the whole list" him: "no no no, you can't save anything! all you have are these two pointers!" that went back and forth for about ten minutes before i gave up and said i must not understand the question, chalked it up to his broken english. at the end of the interview when he asked if i had any questions for him, i said yeah, what the gently caress answer were you looking for there and he gets this sly grin on his face and explains that every time you move one pointer ahead by one node, you move the other pointer ahead TWO nodes, and when the pointers equal each other, you've been through the whole list. the punchline is that this man is now my boss

now that i think about it, i think he even started out asking the question correctly, then changed his mind mid-question and made it a circular linked list instead to make it "easier." but then when i gave him an answer that worked for the simpler case, he couldn't comprehend the possibility that it was correct because it wasn't the one he was thinking of this pattern has repeated itself many times since then

Anal Tributary posted:i really like this because it has the exams and stuff, so maybe i could use it with a book or lectures or something. the lecture notes don't really seem like they give a complete picture. the difference between coursera and the mit opencourseware-type stuff is that coursera's material is original for the coursera course. like, the lecture videos aren't just some guy with a camcorder videotaping the normal lecture, they're a narrated whiteboard recording kinda thing. plus if you're the kind of person who needs some structure it's kinda cool that there's assignments with due dates. actually if you want in on a class that's actually running now, this one just started and is more theoretical and poo poo like an algorithms course: https://www.coursera.org/course/automata

jooky posted:you should be more confident in your abilities b/c your desire to learn combined w/ your current knowledge is much better than most students (especially freshman) so you are a really good candidate for most internships. just look for them and apply instead of selling yourself short by getting a dumb retail job. yup this. and don't avoid interviews just because you don't think you're qualified. my best internship came from a guy who openly talked poo poo on my resume when i gave it to him at the career fair ("don't bother with that 'major gpa' poo poo, we all know what that means"), and when it was time to graduate i interviewed at a few places i wasn't interested in just for the experience. by the time i interviewed for job i was actually qualified for and wanted to get, there was no stress at all
