shift java's bits to the right TIBASIC units?!
:P but yeah in the future i wouldn't doubt it if i made this method in all my programs in the future:

Code: [Select]
public int booleanLogic(Boolean b){
    if (b)
    return 1;
    return 0;
}

That wouldn't exactly be optimized, unless you used it enough.  But it could certainly come in handy.

it would never be optimized, since really the function just calls an if statement. so rather than having a function convert booleans to integers through if statements, why not just use if statements to begin with

I meant size-wise optimized. (Hey, that rhymed!)

It's been a challenge in my C++ class to not use things before we've learned them. For example, we haven't learned arrays or functions yet. >_>

I don't have any programming classes, but the department heads decided that everyone needed to learn how to program in MatLab (as well as Mathematica) for some unidentifiable reason. They arranged a seminar for a few of the students that included "homework." The professors weren't too happy to find out that I used a calculator instead of Matlab to implement the speaker's overcomplicated algorithms. My calculator beat MatLab by several seconds  ;D

The other students got a kick out of it. Needless to say, the speaker did not...

/\as did i =D
my teacher thinks he can program and it made him angry when he discovered that everything he had learned to "program" on his "ipad" over a period of 6 months i could do with crap z80 hardware in a tiny fraction of the space and without the help of his lame object oriented programming :3

Haha, my chemistry teacher asked me to hack a flash website so that she could get the .swf file to convert it to.fla to make the animation in portuguese (an animation of stars like the Sun running out of hydrogen).

She asked "Can anyone translate this?", so I installed a bunch of tools and did it. Hah, hope to get higher grade for it ;)

I have really come to the point to think that my grades are simply a result of my classes being so easy.  In some classes that I have taken in the past, I have felt challenged, but this year, the material we cover and the tests are so easy.  Also, my teachers will give me almost unlimited amount of time on tests, so I never have the problem of running out of time.

AP USH - 99
EAH Honors - 100
Spanish III - 100
English III Honors - 94 (I hate english :()
AP Chem - 100 (this class is a complete joke)
AP Bio - 100

Some teachers seem to have some sort of ego. Over here, my compsci intro teacher was amazed at what I could do compared to him and he did not try to make me lose points because I barely used any code he told us to practice with. I think in the end, as long as it was functional and met most requirements, that's all that counted for him. I hate requirements such as "must include OVER 9000 Gotos". Of course there was still the highscore thing, but it was said that we required one since the beginning anyway.
