Put down your SICPs Ive got a better book

Its called 'Big Java' or BJ for short. In my opinion, it's much more up to date and relevant than SICP. Plus its much less of a dry read. It really gets you motivated to keep learning, and the exercises are really fun too. BJ isn't bogged down with unnecessary math, it just cuts to what's really important to programmers in this day and age. If you are looking to learn Java or just update yourself with today's industry standards, I'd definitely pick up a copy. Its worth it!

endless lols

Obvious signs of a non-reader. Pity. I guess we should let them wallow in their own ignorance for they know not what they are doing.

>>1 Did you had a BJ session today?

Is it right to have a variable that represents a switch, and use var != var to flip it? Is it?

>>9
Whoops, nearly fell for that one

>>10
It's a legitimate question, I'm a C beginner, damn it.

>>11
~=

>>12
There's no such operator, faggot. ~ is not a binary operator.

var=!var;

>>13
yeah?
well then what is this:
int c=0;
c~=c;?
don't talk about shit you don't understand, faggot

>>14
That's nothing.

c~=c;?


IF (X == #$3)
{
dO { }
}

my $c=0;
$c=~s/0/0xffffffff/;

>>14

test.c: In function `main':
test.c:3: error: syntax error before '~' token
