C appreciation thread
 

C is what God programmed our universe in. Post your C appreciation, hints, tips, & tricks itt


When Bjarne Stroustrup used to talk about the free-store I always thought new was overloaded to just use malloc. Then I discovered the main difference between new and malloc(): the C function doesn't set up C++ virtual tables so you get a read violation

here's a neat trick for detecting big endian system

SELECT finger FROM hand WHERE id = 3

Cunt

one little two little three little endians four little fix little six little endians seven little eight little nine little endians

10 little endian boys

ps: you dont sound smart using other peoples ideas, thats not computer science thanks bye moron

also in further experimentation just as I suspected malloc() will not implicitly call a constructor/destructor

but who needs C++ when you can just make a few ugly macros, polymorph some typdeffed structs with void pointers, and declare some globals static?

What you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Naw, Fortran!

In the solution to the Schrodinger equation for the hydrogen atom, three quantum numbers arise from the space geometry of the solution and a fourth arises from electron spin. No two electrons can have an identical set of quantum numbers according to the Pauli exclusion principle , so the quantum numbers set limits on the number of electrons which can occupy a given state and therefore give insight into the building up of the periodic table of the elements.

look how cool i am!
