my new skooool

hi im going to unc next year for computer science.  the basic course to pick would be either intro to programming with java, introduction to scientific programming with Matlab and c, or not offered this semester: introduction to functional programing.  the later 2 have pre reqs with scientific needing calculus(check) and functional requires some programing knowledge (check).  soo my situation is i need to take a class to get into 402 programing ... should i go with the more mathmatical scientific programing or should i go with object oriented java... i figure they will be shoving object oriented stuff down my throught so i might want to get this algorithm math stuff in while i can.  thaaaanks much for chan : ) soory for my disorganized post i am still a dumbfuck highschooler.

Learn to spell.

thank you 2 i will try to work on that in the future, that was some really valuable advice.

You are correct despite your sarcasm. People will think you're thick as pig shit if you communicate in such a sloppy manner.

Do functional programming. Stay away from Java! It'll spoil you and make you hate your job. It's about the worst object-oriented language I know, and a terrible language to learn and use, with a terrible set of design brainfarts and misfeatures, and the worst standard library ever written by man.

No disagreement me from me about Java. It is not a real OO language. It doesn't even have multiple dispatch. It is easy to implement multiple dispatch down compiler wise so it is unclear why so many "OO" languages have not implemented it. It is a basic feature in the programming language I've been working on for a while (a language which is computationally complete in a variety of interesting ways).

ok guys thanks for the good answers and sorry bout sloppy post.

the basic course to pick would be either intro to programming with java,
In an other thread, about the same time :
If any of my employees wrote any Java, I'd fire them on the spot.

I mean about the same time that >>7(>>1) posted

I happen to be taking a Java course right now just for the lulz, and yes, they do force OOP on you. They also push for HUGE amounts of encapsulation. I'd take C.

although i did say c... it is mostly matlab ... if that changes anyones opinion although, i know you fellas are rebels that would hate to see anyone screwing with their brains on the java.

I don't know Matlab, but IIRC, its name came from "MATrix LABoratory". If that's true, then I can tell Matlab does things Java doesn't right from its name.

Matlab is cool in that scientific programming is cool.

Lain.
