Programming, computers, etc. [Serious]

Awesome! Rubix cubes are wonderful things

[Dreams]

Ikr. So very fun and relaxing.

[THEBOMB12321]

well...i wouldn't go as far as calling them relaxing...

I'm not sure what I'll make yet. Maybe something small to start out with.

[Dreams]

Make an alphabetizer

[THEBOMB12321]

^^^That would be useful


I still like my hamburger idea...because if im ever hungry....

[Dreams]

Makes you even hungrier.

[THEBOMB12321]

maybe...but the thought of a hamburger...

[Dreams]

Makes everyone except vegitarians hungry.

[THEBOMB12321]

that is very true

[Dreams]

Might give McDonalds that idea.

[THEBOMB12321]

haha make the app and sell it to McDonalds for money

[Dreams]

I'm doing that.

[THEBOMB12321]

Good...and send some to me for giving you the idea

An alphabatizer for Android? I'll see what I can do.

Or I can do one in Python. Then I don't even really need to look anything up.

When I was in elementary school, we were doing a math project that dealt with how truly big the number 1 million is. I programmed our IBM x86 computer in BASIC to print out the numbers from 1 to 1 million on our dot matrix ribbon printer to see how many pages it would take. (The program printed the numbers horizontally to get something like 10 numbers per line.) The printhead overheated and the printer nearly broke and it only got to something like 50,000.

I never programmed anything else ever again.

That sounds like quite the experience.

In Python, here's the code to do that (but on the screen, not on a printer)

Code: Select all

for i in range(1, 1000001):
     print i

Edit: It's printing about 100 a second, so it's going to take a while. Maybe I'll force it to quit.
Edit Edit: It wouldn't take long at all for it to go through a loop that didn't print, of course, but displaying things to the console takes some time.

I rly need to learn python.
Sigh. 2 languages at the same time.

When I graduated with my Masters degree in Translation and Localization Management, the staff wanted us to give them a list of the languages we knew, since knowing languages is good for translation.

Here's the list that I submitted, and it appears in the 2011 Alumni directory:

A: English
B: Spanish
C: C, C++, Java, HTML/CSS/Javascript, PHP, SQL, VB.net, Python

They never said that they had to be non-computer languages...

So... I'm going to write a quick alphabetizing program in Python now, and then I'm going to read my Android book. Depending on how far I get, I may write some Android code, too.
