i write the best comments/output ever.

i replaced a shit ton of the code with "(some code)" so no one can cheat/copy this shit. you know how csc is about that.



//----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Program Name: Zeller's Algorithm
// Assignment: Homework 4
// Date: 21/10/07
//
// Programmer: Evan Kinney Student ID: 000-795-299
// Course: CSC 114 - 601 Lecturer: Dulberg
//
//
// Program Description: Determines the day of the week for a specific date.
//
// Input: The month, day of the month, and the year.
//
// Output: The day of the week.
//
// Assumptions/Limitations: The user will enter only integers.
//----------------------------------------------------------------------

//----------------------------------------------------------------------

// I can has iostream.h?

#include <iostream>

//----------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// Let's get some functions up in here.
//
//----------------------------------------------------------------------

int getDay();
// Effect:
// Prompt user for the date, return the date entered.


int getMonth();
// Effect:
// Prompt user for the date, return the month entered.


int getYear();
// Effect:
// Prompt user for the date, return the year entered.


int zeller(int theDay, int theMonth, int theYear);
// Input:
// theMonth, theDay and theYear are integer values of the date that
// you wish to get the day of week for
// Output:
// Returns the day of the week that cooresponds to the input (0=Sunday ... 6=Saturday)
// Effect:
// NONE- no output to the screen!!!!


void doStuff();
// Effect:
// Does all the work. Used to clean up the code.


void outDay(int theDayOfWeek);
// Input:
// theDayOfWeek, from 0..6.
// Output:
// The day of the week in chars.

// Effect:
// Asks if user wants to enter another number.

// We're starting the main program now, yo.

for the most part, i like you evan.

but did you really just joke up your c++ hw and then post said jokes?

10/22/2007 1:38:37 AM

*sigh* i thought it was funny

oh well.

[failboat]

10/22/2007 1:40:46 AM

i'm not saying it's not funny, but something like that is only funny when done subtly.

10/22/2007 1:42:22 AM

well this shit's boring enough as it is... i already know c++, i had to do SOMETHING to make it interesting, haha

10/22/2007 1:43:29 AM

Oh noes not CSC jokes...

10/22/2007 1:49:56 AM

haha, i remember doing that same shit in java

gg

10/22/2007 1:52:03 AM

^^^ by "done subtly" i meant "not posted on thewolfweb"

10/22/2007 1:55:02 AM

I wouldn't even post any of that shit online

CSC is fucking anti-cheating-sharing crazy

oh zeller

10/22/2007 1:35:29 PM

this is some elementary bullshit.

10/22/2007 1:36:47 PM

i built rube goldbergian java programs for shits and giggles in 216 back in the day--haha, fucking objects for everything

i used to do this.




for the really simple programs, i would make funny function names and integers.




professors don't like sexual innuendos when describing input/output to a function.

NERD POST OF THE YEAR

If you already know c++, why are you in 114? Why not skip right to 116?

Also, I thought NCSU switched to Java for the intro courses, are they back to C++ or do they give the option?

10/22/2007 1:52:33 PM

Lavim used to name things in his C++ code so you would have function calls like

suck(my->nuts);

10/22/2007 1:54:46 PM

If you want your grader to cry, do things like use the ?: operator, or do something like Duff's Device and make him really think. Don't be intentionally misleading (like putting everything on one line, which is very newbie-ish).

Really elegant and simple solutions using a minimal amount of actual code that take a lot of brain power to understand are the best.

Take advantage of built-in parts of the language. Why use while(true), when for(;;) does the exact same thing?

Also, there's no reason an index to a for loop has to increase by a static, linear amount. There's also no reason why you can't put do-stuff-code inside the for parens. If you can find a situation where it would make sense to do this, do it.

int printDots(int j) {
  for(int k=j; --k; ) printf(".");
  return j-k;
}

int main() {
  for(int i=0,j=0; i<256; i+=printDots(j));
  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

int printHello() {
  printf("Hello, ");
  return 0;
}
int printWorld() {
  printf("World!\n");
  return 0;
}
void doNothing(int x,int y) {
}
int main() {
  doNothing(printHello(),printWorld());
  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

" HWK_4 Comments Good assignment, your comments are fun to read but try to avoid function names like doStuff(). While cool at the time, it sucks to try and maintain a 100,000+ line project when all the functions do not say what they do... try for descriptive names, instead."

sorry i missed this thread

10/29/2007 9:39:37 PM

i saw csc and thought i smelled dirty indian

10/29/2007 9:50:11 PM

why did you name the read procedure "zeller();" ?

I love this thread.

10/29/2007 10:58:08 PM

you will get far by fucking with "the system"

10/29/2007 11:04:33 PM

He probably named it Zeller because it uses the Zeller algorithm- an equation used to determine what day of the week(Sun-Sat) a particular date of the year will be. God I hated making that fucking calendar crap in the lab for CSC 116.

yeah shittiest lab ever

err the whole of csc116 lab, not just this part though this was pretty bad
