Halp on Java program, win Internets.

This crap should be easy for anyone good at Java. Too bad I fucking suck at programming in general. Help me out and I will reward you in any way possible.

Here's the assignment: http://people.uncw.edu/pattersonl/121/labs/final.htm

Please, don't fail me /prog/

The reason why GUI toolkit is taught first is simple: it's the most practical thing to learn. Everything that comes after it is optional IMO, and not really necessary to being a good programmer. By learning this stuff first, you actually are able to go out and actually get a job more quicker.

Let me ask you a question: in your job, that is if you have a job <<lol>>, when was the last time you had to write quick sort, or you had to write a tree traversal algorithm? All of these primitive structures have already been written by professionals, it's a waste of time to learn these again when it's already been done. In some cases writing your own version might actually be detrimental, as it surely will be riddled with bugs and performance issues.

On the other hand, the GUI applications need to be written everyday, for different people and different purposes. As such, it is our job as software developers to utilize at our disposal whatever we can to get the job done.

Actually, I just actually realized I used the word Actually too many times in that second sentence, actually.

I wrote a nice O(1) (for adding, deleting and lookup; also O(1) for space) linked list for... worrrrk... yeah.

You, me and about 2 other people on this board actually understand the difference between computer science and computer engineering.

The fault is 2 fold:
1. People are generally idiots and believe whatever they are told.
2. The people telling them shit (education) are wrong.

Go to a college and tell them that you want to write desktop apps and/or websites. You will be put in their Computer Science program. This is wrong. Go to MIT and you will be put in their Computer Engineering program. This is correct.

It is the job of the scientists to create the best sorting algorithms. It is up to the engineers to make the applications that people use. If you are making an application and implementing a sorting algorithm from scratch you are an idiot and doing it wrong.

>>47
- You seem to understand what computer science is
- You definitely don't understand what computer engineering is
- You seem to imply that programmers learn about algorithms so that they can reimplement those algorithms in their projects
- You reply to a blatant troll, expressing agreement

Uh, I've worked in Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Utah, Colorado, Florida and the Bahamas as a Computer Engineer. I graduated with Honours in Computer Engineering, so I'd like to imagine I know a thing or two about Computer Engineering.

>>49
so I'd like to imagine I know a thing or two about Computer Engineering.
Like the fact that it has very little to do with ``desktop apps and/or websites''?

>>50
Perhaps you misunderstood my post. Re-read >>47 again, please. SOFTWARE Engineers, which is what you're thinking of, are responsible for "desktop apps and websites," on the other hand COMPUTER Engineers is what my post was referring to.

>>51
Perhaps you misunderstood my post.
Perhaps you have problems expressing your thoughts.

Re-read >>47 again, please.
It says (emphasis added):

Go to a college and tell them that you want to write desktop apps and/or websites. You will be put in their Computer Science program. This is wrong. Go to MIT and you will be put in their Computer Engineering program. This is correct.
This seems to be stating in not unclear words your approval of the MIT approach of directing wannabe desktop app / website authors.

What did I miss?

>>51
7/10, I like how you operate.

Fucking idiots. From context, you should have understood the small mistake. Yes, I was refering to Computer Software Engineering and not Computer Engineering as in computer hardware.

If you knew half of what you think you did that would have been obvious.

>>53
It's a gift... and a curse.

>>54
HAHAHA! Oh wow...

>>54
Lol, backtracking enterprise weenie. Is that how your goons operate up in enterprise land?
I declare this slip-up in vocabulary a victory for the Ivory Tower!
