Funny thing I did in programming class today

[GoldenEagle]

I was taking my first test in Basic Computer Programming Fundamentals class today and the first question was like write the code to print your name to the screen in JavaScript.

I was being the sarcastic ass I can be sometimes and wrote the answer in C++. It was not just a Hello World program either. I wrote with classes, constructors, deconstructs, a derived base class and even copy constructors. I passed a pointer around a bit and of course set the pointer to NULL and deleted it.

I wish I could see his reaction when he sees it. It is probably going to be gold. Remember this class is basic and half the people in there have never heard of HTML.

You're going to get an F on that test...

I failed a test this week, though it was because I don't know how to do calculus, not being I saw being a sarcasitc ass.

It was only one problem. The rest of the probles I did correctly.

Ugh, math. Who needs that shit?

No one, as far as I can tell. But I'm taking the class anyway.

Hmmm...from your first post I would say that you've been drinking tonight as well. Is that correct?

Good boy...

I can never even form coherent sentences when sober. Yet the college still expects me to learn another language to graduate.

This reminded me of this joke email that got forwarded to me awhile back and I lost. The amazing power of Google has founded [ it ] for me again.

The link, she goes nowhere, captain.

programming jokes make me sad

Did you hear the one about the guy taking Cobalt/Fortran class, and...

If I were an instructor with a sense of humor, I'd mark you down for using a pointer. And for not using templates.

No kidding, math sucks.

I hope they have High School level math classes in college...

Please take no offense to this, but two things:

1. I bet his reaction won't be gold, and might possibly just be a split reaction before he pulls out the Red Marker of Doom and slashes it through the number of the problem. Either that or his reaction will be one of confusion, as he tries to decipher what the hieroglyphics on your test mean.

2. Come on man, didn’t you have better things to do with your time then to write a big chunk of code, in a class that doesn’t even teach that code, for a problem that is as simple as that one, and for which you will not even get to see the reaction of the teacher? I mean, as I was writing this, I thought up a bunch of better things, like writing this message board post.

Well, if you're going to Iowa you'd probably reach high school level math at the post graduate level.

Meh. It was suppose to be pointing to the Hello World joke on GNU.org [ http://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/helloworld.html ].

Both links worked for me.

It is funny.
