Rep Power: 5 bl00dninja is on a distinguished road
yeah i saw VB had like 3 or 4 totally redundant looping constructs and i was like "fuck this"...then i took my midterm in VB and totally fucked up a bunch of stuff and my instructor gave me a 98 on the test (i'm assuming b/c of my programming projects and things i had mentioned in class).

"loop until" vs. "while"

in C++ just add a '!' charcter in your condition statement and you have removed the need for this crappy function being added to every damn VB prog you make.

i still respect BASIC as a language and i know it has it's uses, but in retrospect this is a horrible language for intro CS classes. we had 10 VB projects for the semester, i did the first 8 in the first couple weeks of class, but the last two require more info, so i have to wait.....arrrggghhhhhhh!!!!!!! but yeah, next semester i get to take a class (intro to C++) that introduces nothing new but using a "stack class". (final project). college is gay. and i have to work at mcdonald's full-time to pay for this.
