Saturated Fat Controversy

It just isn't. The hardest part of the first year of studying computer science here at the FERIT University of Osijek is probably understanding the methods of manually solving the three-phase electrical networks and the stuff such as Millman's Theorem and the Norton's Theorem. The hardest part of programming is probably understanding the basic string manipulation in C, or as some students who failed programming complain that linked lists were hard to understand.

After I had been studying programming by myself for 5 years, my attempt at making a website can hardly be called "naive" and "clueless".
Abaddon_ire Wrote:When you have written software that transacts millions in secure encrypted CC interchanges get back to me.
Then give us some explanation of how it works.

It's the most basic common sense. I know from experience that, when I program something in Assembly, I spend way more time debugging than actually coding. And programming in machine code is even worse, since it's like Assembly, but it also gives you a chance to accidentally insert an illegal instruction. Or to reference a wrong variable without noticing that when reviewing the code, which a symbolic Assembler won't allow you to. And if there are so many bugs which prevent an Assembly language (or, even worse, a machine language) program from even appearing to work properly, how many bugs are there that need to be fixed until it actually works properly?
And there are statistics that show that, of higher-level languages, C programs tend to be the most buggy, and C is, compared to other high-level languages, quite close to Assembly in many ways. JavaScript programs are, if I am not mistaken, around 3 times less buggy, and there are so many bugs in JavaScript programs because the developing tools for it tend not to even issue warnings for what would be a syntax error in other languages. PHP programs also tend to be buggy, though not as much as JavaScript programs. C++ programs tend to be way less buggy, and Haskell and SmallTalk programs even less.

Amateur.

Searching for insults in an English-language thesaurus doesn't make you sound smart, it takes very little effort to do that. Saying something on Latin is much more likely to make you sound smart, since learning Latin enough to be able to write grammatical sentences does indeed take some effort.

@Abaddon_ire, you didn't answer me, why would my compiler, which can compile implementations of QuickSort and Permutations algorithm, be, as you said, "not a compiler in any shape or form"?
