At work I needed a Javascript file for a project I was working on, and Outlook absolutely forbade me from opening it.  It was pretty annoying, there should be a way for users to override it

I replied and got him to rename it from .js to .outlooksucks, and it worked.  This was one Linux guy to another, though.

This is the same way we circumvented our school's .EXE and .ZIP download blocking setup to install JCreator 2.5 Free on all the lab computers. (We had been using CodeWarrior, but our school's license expired.)

eh jcreator... used that in ap comp sci. Hey anyone else take that? What did you get on the ap? I just got my score mailed, got a 3.

ew, you're a smart guy; how'd you pull that off?

Its hard to tell if you are being serious or sarcastic on this forum lol.

JCreator sucks.

Was serious about the smart guy part.

Well, I don't know java, I know how to print out useless pyramids of 1s through 3 or 4 recursive statments. My teacher tought me AP style java, how to do it without brackets and how to do things I could easily do with a loop through the use of several recursive statements (like java does not lag enough). So I can't do a single practical thing in java, but I passed the ap. We did not even learn applets or gui  . I am not motivated enough to pick up a book and learn that on my own though.

JCreator sucks.

We had all kinds of problems. I guess the word I'd use to describe it would be "moody" -- some of the computers ran it better than others, and inexplicably the same pieces of code would fail with strange compiler errors on some machines but not others.

I also got a 3 on the AP Comp Sci exam, peofeoknight.

Did your teacher teach you how to print out
               1
             1 1
           1 1 1
         1 1 1 1
       1 1 1 1 1
etc with recursive statements
edit: AGH... I cant shape a triangle of the number 1 with this!

APCS code is not real world...

       if (start < width)
           space = (width-start)/2+1;
       else
           space = 0;
       
       for (int j = 0; j < space; j++)
           System.out.print (" ");
       for (int i = 0; i < start; i++)
           System.out.print ("*");
       System.out.println();
       
       if (start < width)
           pyramid (start+2, width);
   }

       if (start%2 == 0)   // prevent even numbers
           --start;
}

I would have done:

(start & 1) && --start;

Much more cryptic that way

(ps: I'm not sure if Java lets you do that, but eh?)

<edit> aww, you don't.  You need to ust C to do cryptic code like that *sniff*

etc with recursive statements

with recursive statements, not loops. Try it with 3 recursive statements. Its a HUGE pain in the butt. You can do it, its just annoying as heck. And on the ap they ask you what code does, and they give you all this recursive bs, and you have to make a lil drawing with boxes and arrows and numbers so you can get to the answer because values are flowing everywhere. The ap is an example of stuff should not be done, I mean this code would give you a bad stack and make the application just bog the heck down if real programmers did this.

I used a recursive statement to print out each line.

Code Select Expand

pyramid (start+2, width);

I don't quite know how to print each individual character recursively. I'll see what I can come up with.

Edit:I think I just figured out a way to do it so I will post my results tomorrow.   This is the first recursive method I have ever written.

[quasi-modo]

Ok I just saw the loops, I did not look in the last loop. But see how useless and unrealistic this bs is?
