why is 99% of coding doing the same poo poo that's been done five billion times

include std.io

no poo poo. just assume it please compiler. it's as redundant as saying hi and goodbye to people you see every day

half the common problems people have with pointers are just dumb syntax poo poo

int * foo, bar, etc

pointers are really very simple once you understand the basics!

except when you start dealing with funny pass-by-reference stuff (void foo(int& bar){}), dumb tricks/idioms like *foo++, etc

(basically the only reason pre/post-increment operators exist in tyool 2013 are to enable people who want to write unreadable code and/or to accidentally stumble into undefined language behavior)

but the basics of pointers are basically just one conceptual leap, and if you know how objects work in java/python/ruby then you're pretty much already there.

congrats!

can't pointers to pointers to pointers be used for some fancy efficient tricky code?

also I still can't even get my head around how even the most simple quine works... I need baby's first Quine written in basic and then run a debugger at 3 lines per hour just to follow it

ironic that the more efficient you make the code the less efficient it is to ever do anything to it ever again

I "really liked" making some python code but as soon as u needed to do something outside the basics it was a pain in the rear end. external libraries ruin languages

wow

apparently this is a style, too
pre:
while (x == y)
    {
    something();
    somethingelse();
    }
 
finalthing();

this is better to read

but indentations are sufficient on they own. just use languages that use that
