    Jeez I don;t know what every ones talking about, I enjoy the hell out of my computer science classes. Screwing around in visual studio or making something in unity. Mabye writing a simple fileserver and client application. I eat it all up like candy.
     
    To be honest don't go major in something you are not interested in just because of the money, you will hate it.

    I wrote this a year or two ago. It converts mixed numbers(3 1/2) to improper fractions(7/2)
    <html> <body> <title>Converting Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions!</title> <script type="text/javascript"> var wholeNum = Number(prompt("How many whole numbers are there?")); var numerator = Number(prompt("What is the numerator? (number on top)")); var denominator = Number(prompt("What is the denominator? (number on the bottom)")); alert("Now I will convert the number!"); var wholeAndDen = wholeNum * denominator; var newNumerator = numerator + wholeAndDen; alert("The number is " + newNumerator + "/" + denominator); </script> </body> </html>

    Could just be Windows being buggy too.
     
    I personally find Win + S to be the quicker option when it comes to the search though. Or you could just press Win and start typing the search.

    Glad it worked for you. I think you can also just press the Windows key and start typing; it does the same search but also brings up the whole start menu. Which is why I use Windows+S.

    Hmm. You are right with the windows key + S, but it still doesn't work with the mouse movement. I guess I will start using windows+S though!

    darth_bubbles reacted to Captain_WD in Potentially serious hard drive problem?   
    Hey darth_bubbles,   This could be either a problem with your drive or a problem with your OS.   To check the drive, I would recommend hooking it up to another working computer (externally or internally) and running a diagnostic tool to check the drive's health status. I would recommend using WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostic tool (http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=5Q0TYO) and running both the quick and the extended tests in order to check the drive's S.M.A.R.T. status as well as for any bad sectors that might have appeared. You can connect the drive directly to the motherboard with a SATA cable or do it externally with a SATA to USB cable and a power cord, docking station, 3.5" enclosure, etc.   Checking your OS would require you to either use the system repair disk (you have to create one, here's how for Windows 7: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/2083-system-repair-disc-create.html)and restore your computer to the last restore point, or you would have to reinstall your OS and see if the problem is fixed.   Captain_WD.

    The actual limit is 8176, you can remove the line that says if %accuracy% GRT 8100 goto error if you want those last digits , but it doesn't work very well at max.

    Pretty short, but also quiet handy program. I didn't have the idea myself and hope that no one else has posted something similar so far, but at least I wrote it myself

    Why do you need to prove yourself? There are no expectations of you doing so here. It still does not make you less naive and does not change your attitude that you have shown in this thread.
     
    Also your code is not anything spectacular...

    darth_bubbles reacted to -rascal- in Help with returning.   
    Nope.
     
    From what I know,
    for (...) { // code // code} was the ORIGINAL method when programming first started with Fortran (?). It also helps prevent semi-colon errors. If you did this...
    if (...) { ; // code // code} ...The complier will spit out an error, while...
    if(...);{ // code // code} ...depending on how it is coded, it will actually run the "if" line and skip everything is inside the curly braces. Depending on the complier, it may think all the code in the curly brace is unused code and will actually ignore it. If that's the case, you will have a reeeaaally big headache trying to find out what the problem is.
     
    I've used the
    if (...){ // code // code} method the longest, and it spaces things out a bit, making it some-what easier to read. Depending on the IDE / program you use for your programming, it's easier to do read doing it this way.
    A lot of the old programming wise ones (people who started programming back in the 1950's  / 60's / 70's) will typically use the other curly braces method.
     
    Regardless, just don't alternate back and forth between the two in a program. Stick with one, and be consistent throughout!!!
     
     
    Useful tip:
    Even for one-liners like
    if(value == 100) break; Use curly braces!!
    if(value == 100){ break;}OR (whichever way you like)if(value == 100){ break;} Curly braces are not needed, but my god it can save HOURS you're when debugging code.

    Not really sure what you're supposed to cover in the hour of code lesson, but if possible, I would try to do up examples they can relate to. Maybe you can pick pieces of functionality from things like Snapchat, Twitter, Facebook, etc that you can mimic on a basic level.
     
    It'll be better if they can see something visual, so even if you don't teach them basic GUI programming, you might still be able to utilize it in your examples. Just keep the GUI code separate from what you show them to avoid confusion.
