Our "Voting" project was due Thursday of this week. I think that, along with building Pintos for our C S 439 Op. Systems class, this project makes part of the darkest hours of my C S degree. This time around, I had much more trouble getting UVa, the online judge hosted by a Spanish university, to accept my solution. And after getting it to accept it I had very little time to complete the rest of the requisites so I think it suffices to say that Thursday was an incredibly stressful and unpleasant day. One of the takeaways is definitely to start next project much earlier. However, this time around instead of having another project due in two weeks we are having our first midterm. Prof. Downing's midterms, from my experience as a former S E student, are tough... You need to study for them much differently than you do for the rest of the C S class's midterms. We will see how it goes in two Thursdays.
In class we talked about different ways you can reference variables (going very deep into the by-reference vs. by-value comparison). And we also talked about how to create a function to work generically for any data type. This is a very efficient and sexy way of coding so it's nice to learn how to be able to do it in C++. One concern I have been having lately is that I haven't been doing so hot on the quizzes. I need to keep doing the readings and staying on top of it
