markiemrboo Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 Good on you then dude. Hell, I probably wouldn't be able to get BASIC or PASCAL back infront of me and write some code that does anything interesting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 surely a rating of 10 should mean you can do anything and everything in the most efficient tightest code, blindfolded, using only your left little finger to type... basically a complete guru in that language and you've written books on it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markiemrboo Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 Nah, he was just being sarcy at me I think... probly rightly so, who knows 'tis great what tends to happen when people disagree Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdy284 Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 (edited) i agree with M1Sports20....reading man on how to do something shouldn't qualify as "knowing" it. I took a C++ class, so i know a little bit, and sure i could look in a book and figure out how to do things...but i sure as hell don't say that i know C++ and the same thing with spoken languages, I took 2 years of french in high school, and i could probably stumble through a conversation....maybe....but if I had a translation manual, sure I could make it through a conversation, but again, i wouldn't say i know how to speak french, that'd be stupid. Because what happens when somebody asks me how to say something, and I don't have my book....I'll look stupid. Then the person would say, i thought you knew french? then what would ya say? My point is, you shouldn't have to rely on a book to "know" a language Edited November 16, 2004 by sdy284 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

markiemrboo Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 Yeah maybe, I guess I was trying to say that if you "know" a language reasonably well then you shouldn't have much problem looking at the man pages or whatever and picking up on it almost instantly. There's no way on earth I can (personally) remember every single C function there might be, it's return types, it's parameters, if there's any specific return values I should be aware of that possibly indicates an error; I would still say I know the language pretty well? I've been able to help some people with their Java/C stuff (both on here and at Uni), so I wouldn't say I am totally hopeless, atleast I do tend to read man pages on functions, because I just don't have the brain power to remember everything My view is obviously a little different in some respects, but oh well!
