Software Development

Eeek....studying for my Sdev exam tomorrow. I've been studying for the last 6 hours and If I have to learn the puesdo code to another sorting algorithm I'm gonna go insane!!

Anyways...just wondering does anyone else here in the Alienware forum study or studied computer languages?

 

Best of luck for the exam... I studied computer languages... or maybe that's how I speak now.

 

irishhenshin,

Best of luck on your exam....

I too began my IT career as a programmer/analyst. I know it seems hard, but in reality it's no different than learning a regular 'foreign' language.

I actually ended up in the hospital twice before my exams due to anxiety attacks. I actually thought I was going to die.... In my mind I made the exams way harder than the actual exam ended up being.

I'm sure you'll do fine.... By now you actually know the material it's just a matter of recall.

Good luck

lol this may get moved i unno

we do have a programming and home work help

i can't code ... i just cant sit still so i do computer repair ...hardware wise wayyyy better to me

 

Java....lol Main Class of a 3 Class Program

package assign6;


import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main {


public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException {
final String fileName = "src/assign6/list.txt";
Scanner myFile = new Scanner(new FileReader(fileName));
Scanner myFile2 = new Scanner(new FileReader(fileName));
Client listOfNames = null;
Client listBackwards = null;
Client list2 = null;

String fName;
String lName;
int id;

myFile.nextLine();

while (myFile.hasNext()){
fName = myFile.next();
lName = myFile.next();
id = myFile.nextInt();

if(listOfNames == null)
listOfNames = new Client(fName, lName, id);
else
listOfNames.add(fName, lName, id);

}
myFile.close();
System.out.println("***Original Data***");
listOfNames.print_List();

listBackwards = listOfNames;
listBackwards.reverse();
System.out.println("------------------------");
System.out.println("***Reverse Data***");
listBackwards.print_List();
System.out.println("------------------------");
System.out.println("***Forward Data***");

while (myFile2.hasNext()){
fName = myFile2.next();
lName = myFile2.next();
id = myFile2.nextInt();

if(list2 == null)
list2 = new Client(fName, lName, id);
else
list2.add(fName, lName, id);

}
myFile2.close();

list2.print_List();

}


}

 

Another Working with Linked Lists and Bounded Lists. Again, main class only of a 4 class double interface Java program....

Hehe thats actually how I used to feel about them Denver!! I found though, if I drew diagrams along with how I was trying to explain things, it made everything so much easier! At this stage now at the end of my degree I've done Html, Xhtml, Css, C#, .Net, Asp.net, Java, Sql and C++!

MR.Moo thats similar to me expect I just have no idea whats happening with the hardware...so I'm prone to the software side of things

Thanks for the code FirecatF7, Java is one of my favourite languages.

I finished up a project in C# this year but I think I'll be moving in Web and Server Development...as much as I like straight programming with languages like C++ and Java, I don't think I could handle it at industry level!

 

Yeah good luck with that. I think Id blow up if I tried to learn another language.

But that definitely is not a language, its like dubya tee eff!!!!!!!!!!

 

Kinda reminds me of when I was in high school learning DOS. We used to make a series of X's that would form a smiley face on the paper from a pinwheel printer. That was pretty high tech. back then. lol
