I can barely figure out what the hell they're trying to say in English, much less translate into a language I barely speak. And he gave it to me Friday to be due Monday, of course. 
I could've done it Friday evening instead of waiting until late Sunday night, but where would be the fun if I did that? So here I am at midnight drinking coffee and thumbing through my French dictionaries while I abuse both Word's spellcheck and Google's translation feature in hopes of being intelligible.

Karnaj had this to say about Duck Tales:
I hate assignments with a mandatory rough draft, because I almost invariably make at least one pass of editing before I hand an essay in. Hell, I still do it at work, on the rare occasions I have to write up something.
I had a couple teachers require two drafts before the final. Made the hardest part of the assignments figuring out what to intentionally fuck up in the first two so all three are different enough.
At least hand-writing in Japanese isn't as dull or cramp inducing. It's almost...artsy.

I had a teacher do that to me once.
First time, rough draft.
Second time, I editted the paper, turned it back in.
Third time, and every time after that, I just printed out another copy of the paper, because I couldn't figure out how to make it better.

Even our next program due next Friday where we have to manipulate strings isn't nearly as confusing as this one.

I was like that for a long time, and now I always wind up editing the hell out of my papers. Dunno why.
I hate writing/giving speeches. I can stand up in front of a group of people and make an ass of myself/tell jokes all day long, but when it has to be an extemporaneous speech for some reason I freak out.

But you can do anything in C.
Diff Eq. Prof: "Oh, the school says you should be spending 10-12 hours / week outside of class, so here's 10-12 hours worth of homework for the week".
No, you fuck, it's more like 20-25 hours worth, especially if this is the first math class I've taken in two years. Moreover, if you say you're going to put the assignment up on the weekend, PUT IT UP, and don't come up with some bullshit excuse when I call you on it.
Thankfully, this should be the last homework-ey class I ever take, and I like projects.

Trying to figure out where the whiles and fors and switch statements go in this stupid program, and how to write the functions to pass the values of the elements of the array is annoying.
I took a personal day today to work on it a bit and play Kingdom Hearts. Naturally, the majority of the time will be playing Kingdom Hearts, but I do intend to work on the proggie at least some.

quote:My senior year highschool English teacher was obsessed with her interpretation of the human condition; humans strive for perfection, but perfection is impossible, therefore life is futile. She never gave a grade above a B on a first draft. My first first draft for her got a C because of one actual grammar error and three of what she falsely interpreted as grammar errors. I very much disliked her.*

quote:Sounds like you should be using nested While loops. When I was a teaching assistant, our class had to handle tic-tac-toe, which is simpler (at least until you factor in an AI player) but uses essentially the same algorithms. If you were working in C++, I'd say to use cross-linked objects instead of arrays.

You've got those backwards. I've never had an exceptionally hard time with programming (although I'm currently working with ANTLR, whose tree-generation abilities can sometimes produce bizarre, unexplainable results). Start throwing those curly S's and d/dx's at me and I get stupid, though.
Game of Life isn't conceptually difficult, it's just an excersize in bounds-checking and not overrunning the array, which is when weird shit will happen.

Same example, when I was a teaching assistant. First project was building a basic ascii-based tic-tac-toe game (two-player only, the AI was project 3). I gave my class a hint that they would need nested loops. We spent about 20 minutes of a class reviewing how to make nested FOR loops. I also went over material with a few people who showed up during my office hours.
When projects were turned in, one student's project didn't compile. I looked at his code. Not only had he screwed up the basic fundamentals of procedural programming and incorrectly formatted the array code, but his entire application consisted of 100+ nested if-then statements, inside the nested FOR loop example I had put on the board during the lesson. Even once I made the necessary corrections for his project to compile, it crashed after the first move due to going out-of-bounds of the 3x3 array. Out of a 15-point project, he got 1 point.
This was his second time taking the course. He failed every project and every exam until he withdrew about half way through the semester. `Doc fucked around with this message on 04-10-2006 at 02:38 PM.

I'm only having trouble with programming because we're not really getting a solid foundation. Like if we did things wrong on homework or previous projects, the TA who is our lab guy would say "Well you didn't do such and such, and this is missing, and that" but didn't explain just how we were supposed to be able to do it.
I still have no idea what to do. I have to print out like 4 generations of this thing and I don't even know what to do for the first.
Even our Histogram project which is our last isn't as confusing as this.
