Fardad was sick, which thus meant that we didn't have any quiz or lessons. Bit of a downer, to be honest.<br /><br />Pointers were mainly covered. It was a bit confusing, as is always. I had always thought of pointers as a number which points to a location in memory, instead of it actually just being an unsigned integer.<br /><br />Still, it's quite interesting to see how they work. Especially in the ability to move forward in memory by the size of the target.<br /><br />Of course, this is not the first time I've used pointers. But they certainly are clearer now than they were before.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/939183573277176450-1942921208861906302?l=rift-tlosam.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rifthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05125753574728975017noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-939183573277176450.post-70281052267628534872010-01-11T18:28:00.000-08:002010-01-11T19:02:01.345-08:00To re-iterate, I do dislike blogging. It is not so much because it's trouble, but more of not knowing what to expect, or desired for a blog.<br /><br />I come into the course OOP344 as a fairly good student in OOP244, which I achieved extremely well in. I'm fairly well versed in programming languages, so I'm not sure what kind of challenge I'll be expecting so much.<br /><br />This class actually looks to be a bit more interesting than my previous ones where I did have very little to do. However, since as far as I know, we will not have a senior architect for development, which means that we either have to fight it out amongst ourselves or we need to organize it.<br /><br />Having been in such a position before, I can mention that it isn't fun when it feels like I am one of the few who actually can comment code properly. However, I do hope it won't be that bad.<br /><br />Further, allow myself to explain a bit about the moniker that I have as my blog address.<br /><br />Rift Tlosam is a character that I role play, generally in Science Fiction genres. Other aliases include Raithen and Kuat. I do enjoy games as well, and I tend to attempt to play psychologically as well as regularly. I do have a talent with that as well, but it's something purely for entertainment, not work.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/939183573277176450-7028105226762853487?l=rift-tlosam.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rifthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05125753574728975017noreply@blogger.com0
