Argh, my CS1331 class is going to be so tough.
Someone explain to me why Java is so needlessly complicated (I hate declaring my variables beforehand...it's so annoying).
I had to download JGrasp and Java SE 6 (the latest version) and I still have no idea whats going on.
At least everything else I have (besides Calc2) is fairly easy and straitforward.

what?  have you never programmed before Java?  You ALWAYS declare variables at the beginning of a program.  It's one of the major programming standards.

We used Python before and it's so much easier to get things done.
I understand WHY it's standard, I just don't like it X_X;;

Python is probably the easiest thing you'll ever program in.
and since i'll never get a chance to use this again

that sums it up perfectly

what


for(int i=0; i<100;i++){
System.out.printf("DICKS");
}

}

fixed

:B

I don't really know any programming languages, so I don't know. :-\

I'm not complicated...
I'm a fairly simple person. :(

You got Jokes.

Most programming languages require you to declare variables beforehand... at the least, it's just good style. Personally, I much prefer Java to something like Common LISP. Anyway, declarations are the least of your problems; have fun with regular expressions.

why

So, totally only responding to this thread now. It's complex because it was made by a Canadian, specifically, an Albertan...more specific yet, a Calgarian. We're brilliant people.

It's complicated-ness probably stems from the fact that it was supposed to be a universal version of C++ so it wouldn't depend on the system.
(And I doubt it was just a canadien that made it XD )

C++ does the same thing.
It's not uncommon. In fact, it's standard.

I have to learn HTML for my web class now.
It's actually pretty easy. Though some people ask the stupidest questions it seems.
