I’ve never considered that she might just be very smart. You’re very optimistic. Filled me with hope out of nothing. Thanks!
Comment on Real quick question about the "break"
gazter@aussie.zone 11 months agoIt’s a very good lesson- to the point where I wouldn’t be surprised if the teacher is deliberately putting an arbitrary restriction on the assignment.
If you want to have a career, the people that pay you are going to make you do things that you consider to be ridiculous. That’s work, that’s life. You’ve got three options- Just smile and nod and do it their way, get huffy and tell them that you don’t like their yapping and you’ll do their project your own way, or politely suggest there may be an alternative way, and ask if they are willing to be flexible with some requirements.

It’s not arbitrary. When you start out on a profession, the first thing a good instructor does is make you unlearn the things you already think you know before teaching you the things you need to know. Think of it this way: When you pick up a golf club and start hitting the ball, you’ll drive it left and right. First thing you’ll be taught is to only hit straight. Even if you think you should try to drive a curve ball, a good teacher will not allow you. Only when you have mastered the basics will he teach you to drive curved balls. So ignore your teachers advice at your own peril, but it will most likely set you up for an expert beginners career.
As a closer, I can tell you this much: I received the same advice almost 20 years ago and now, after being a professional developer for two decades, I can not recall more than five times when a
breakstatement actually made more sense than to rethink the algorithm.UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
