Born to code

Well, today was fun.

Not to seem arrogant or egoïstic, but … well… I rule.

Firstly, I had no experience with Java, at all until last week.
Today, I already wrote a somewhat sophisticated function which other classmates had tried to make but had not managed to. Which meant that I got plenty of attention from people wanting know my secret.

After that, the guy next to me (who happens to live close to my home town so we tend to travel home together) had a strange problem with his code. I couldn’t see why it was resulting in exception errors so we asked the teacher. He couldn’t figure it out either. His code was nearly the same as mine (well, not the sophisticated part, but the easy copy-from-book part :p) and my code worked fine.

Then I just tried the one thing that I noticed was different, even though the book didn’t say it was necessary (it didn’t mention it at all). That fixed it

Still, I consider it to be luck and the fact that I have experience in other programming languages, because, overall, Java still seems a bit unlogical to me at times. Also, it sucks that the “(expression) ? true : false;” thing doesn’t seem to work in Java.
