Why should I code?

Tell me 10 reasons I should learn to code in C

>>39
You are worthless. Your posts are worthless. Your posts are spam. Go enjoy your Asperger's somewhere else.

>>41
What's wrong with enjoying our Asperger's here?  That's what we all've been doing the last few years (since the day /prog/ stopped being helpful).

>>42
Nothing. If you're not a faggot.

>>41
Enjoy I am Asperger's somewhere else?

>>44
What?

>>45
I don't find your posts relevant to my boards.
You haven't proved that your posts aren't spam, you just make up excuses so you can continue your idiocy.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAA!!!
you think your tough huh?
two words Sussman and Abelson.
i have written two programming books at the same time in less than 5 seconds i have been training for 3 years.
also SICP,On Lisp,and TAoCP.
you might be stronger than me,but i know im smarterer and quicker with shift-0.
i only weigh 130 pounds pure lean parentheses.
one argument you'll be on your way to reread SICP.
your the one whose a homo.i can get Julie Sussman anytime i want you probably haven't ever been laid before.
you probably have sex with your REPL.
you don't even know me,and you don't want to.
you'll be lucky if your even worth the apply one lambda and you'll recurse forever.
though i'd be hapy to humiliate you in front of all your friends.
btw IM the best.
i have trolled in Slashdot, Reddit, Digg,paulgraham.com, Craigslist,MIT,world4chan.org.
never lost an internet fight!
im undefeated in competitive forced indentation/parenthesis counting.
im on my way to Nirvana.
go ahead and come step anytime you want.b*tch

I think he was talking about the your/you're distinction.

>>49
I know. It wasn't invalid.

>>50
I don't care. If I want to read Wikipedia, I can look it up myself. We don't need you to copy/paste this crap in every thread.

>>54
But... but...
Go away.

"GRUNNUR"

Code toad frumple frump sqoed.
Woo bickle ngaardipple titsquit bumshit.

YHBT

You know what would be great? If half of the fucking posts weren't deleted from this discussion. Maybe I'd be able to read the goddamn thread.

I remember reading the posts when they were made. Trust me, you are much better off without reading them.

>>62
Your express something i call "voluntary ignorance".

I recommend c to anyone who fancies themselves as a REAL PROGRAMMER.

It's the only "high-level" language where you don't feel nanied - C trusts you. You can do what you want with memory etc. If you're too retarded to get it right, then C isn't for you. But if you are good enough, it's great to feel free to do what you want.

>>64
I don't what so special in C which can't be used in assembly with macros.

>>65
Task: Create a list of n elements. Insert m elements at random positions. Print them out.
a) Do it in C
b) Do it in assembler

C code can be compiled on every system to use the possiblities to its fullest extend, as opposed to assembly, which is pretty much static there unless you rewrite your whole code.
Assembly is also a lot slower to develop and a lot harder to debug.

Could you and your faggotry kindly GTFO now, now that you have proven once again, that you have no idea how computers work.

also IHBT

>>66
FrozenFag probably thinks that Win32+x86 Asm is the One True Platform, so portability doesn't matter that much to him.

I wouldn't say assembly is that hard to debug if you're used to debugging applications without having their source code, so when writing your own apps in asm, you would probably recognize most of the code as you've written it yourself.

That said, I really don't see a reason to use asm to do most high level tasks such as those you listed, unless speed is utmost concern, you'd only be wasting your time when you could spent it on actually developing more of your application.

>>68
yeah, for your fucking information i have.
the computer i'm using to type this is a fucking x64 CPU!
it's also dual core, so that's x128.
please check your facts before posting

>>68
Various server applications, embedded systems, game consoles/arcades, specialized CPUs used as part of other integrated devices(such as cards used in your PC), and so on. Consoles/handhelds are bought by many casual customers. A CPU doesn't necesarilly mean it has to run on your home computer, however some could be used for such purposes(ex: Cell(PS3), PowerPCs,.. ).

Please stop it with your "If it's not a x86-based CPU, it's not a real CPU" and "If it's not a x86 assembly, it's not a real assembly" crap.

You have a lot to learn, and yet you spend your time trolling /prog/, please go away.

>>68
yes, i have. i've bought several arm and 68k cpus, and one z80.

i only use SPARC based machines

>>74
real men keep their computers forever and don't upgrade

>>68
Have you seen anyone buy A FUCKING MOBILE PHONE?

I RAGED.

>>74
You must be quite sheltered to only know of x86 CPUs.

Maybe your local ``computer'' shop doesn't stock CPUs based on those archs as standalones(they may do it in form of peripherals, appliances, various devices, ... ), however they are available for order from specialized shops (both real and online).
