The Evolution of a Sepples Programmer

Name: Anonymous 2008-06-16 13:42

Learned basic C++ from an inadequate tutorial.

#include <iostream.h>
using namespace std; // thanks, joe
void main(int argc, char** argv) {
    cout << "Hello, world!" << endl;
}


Learned basic C++ from a slightly better tutorial.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    cout << "Hello, world!" << endl;
    return 0;
}


Learned about namespace pollution.

#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    std::cout << "Hello, world!" << std::endl;
    return 0;
}


Learned about classes.

#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
class Hello {
private:
    char* msg;
public:
    Hello() {
        this->msg = strdup("Hello, world!");
    }
    ~Hello() {
        delete this->msg;
    }
    char* hello() {
        return this->msg;
    }
};
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    Hello* hello = new Hello();
    std::cout << hello->hello() << std::endl;
    delete hello;
    return 0;
}


Learned about the C++ string container.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
class Hello {
private:
    std::string msg;
public:
    Hello() {
        this->msg = "Hello, world!";
    }
    std::string hello() {
        return this->msg;
    }
};
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    Hello hello;
    std::cout << hello.hello() << std::endl;
    return 0;
}


Found out about the STL.

Mastered the basic containers of the STL.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    std::string hello = "Hello, world!";
    std::vector<char> v;
    for (unsigned int j = 0; j < hello.length(); ++j) {
        v.push_back(hello[j]);
    }
    std::vector<char>::iterator i;
    for (i = v.begin(); i != v.end(); ++i) {
        std::cout << *i;
    }
    std::cout << std::endl;
    return 0;
}


Mastered the STL.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>
class printc { public: void operator() (char c) { std::cout << c; } };
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    std::string hello = "Hello, world!";
    std::for_each(hello.begin(), hello.end(), printc());
    std::cout << std::endl;
    return 0;
}


Read the C++ FAQ Lite and realized C++ mastery is impossible.

#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    std::cout << "Hello, world!" << std::endl;
    return 0;
}


Read the C++ FQA Lite.

#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    printf("Hello, world!\n");
    return 0;
}


Heard of 4chan and wound up in /b/.

HAI
CAN HAS STDIO?
VISIBLE "HAI WORLD!"
KTHXBYE


Found a replacement for /b/ after finding it overrun by ``cancer'' and ``newfags.''

One word, the forced indentation of code.  Thread over.  Also, read SICP!

Read SICP after months of telling people to read SICP.

(display "Hello, world!")
(newline)


Achieved Satori after re-reading SICP every day for many years.

void main() { puts("Hello, world!"); }
