Holy Shit, I just smashed a quiz in Fortran90 that was worth 25% of my grade. Two different ridiculous programs. I didn't think I could do it, but damn, that was easy.

Starting to get the hang of this stuff Martin. :weee:

You're the man.

Do you know that freshman computer science programming classes have a high failure rate (as with many other freshman "weed out" courses), so some people set out to figure out why so many people fail at 101 programming. They put together several tests that they would give to students at various points along their first ever programming class. And they found out that the people who don't seem to "get it" from the beginning pretty much are doomed to fail the course.

Apparently about 40% of people who take a 101 programming class don't have the intuition for programming, they don't understand what it means to assign a value to a variable and so on. That first it has one value, then the assignment happens and it has a different value. Which in math of course is preposterous, I've never done "assignment" in math. So maybe that's why.

And from there on, noone seems to know how you can fix that, they have no solution for this. :D
