@derickflorian Just checking in on how the exam(s) went/are going and if you're able to find any time to practice those C skills on #AdventOfCode Also, didn't realize I wasn't following you, so going to address that too ;)
@PHolder thanks for checking back in! How is your advent of code coming? My exam went pretty well, just one for calc. The studying paid off because i actually had a half hour of spare time to check my work!
I took a couple of days off because I also have covid again but started working on my side work project again last night. As long as I can make decent progress on that I will jump back in tomorrow I think!
Have you been keeping up with the advent of code calendar?
@derickflorian I saw your post on you great mark on your exam, congrats!
I am doing the problems in #Java every night at midnight as they "release". I have found the all mostly straight forward, until Day 12, where I failed to recognize it was a rehash of something I did in 2021.
I post writeups after every one, but of course I have to spoiler protect them because not everyone goes at my pace.
You can check them out on the #TWiT community: https://www.twit.community/t/advent-of-code-2022/13520 (past years are there too.)
@PHolder Ok, C++ seems cool for that reason. I been to a couple of user group meetings where the presenter took C libraries and wrapped them up in object oriented C++ code, and it made things look a lot cleaner.
I have used Java in a 101 programming class and that it was fun. I also used Kotlin for a while when I did 100 Days of Code. I thought Kotlin had some really interesting concepts.
@derickflorian In my professional career, I've used C and some basic C++ (no fancy operator overloading or anything) and Java mostly. There have been a couple of "custom" languages, that got me using the predecessor to ANTLR (pccts). And of course XML. Oh and Delphi which is a Pascal version of Visual Basic (which I used for one project). And my first ever paid job was in 6502 assembly.
But yes, these days almost exclusively Java cause I love OOP.
