There is much to learn
Very few have even begun to learn
The brightest know to learn

Uh, it's 5-7-5 in the original Japanese ... yeah, that's the ticket...

Actually, the real nit one should pick with my-ku is that 'update' normally means 'get latest version from repository', but I chose to (mis)use it in the sense of one's-checkin-as-update. Poetic license and all that.

There once was a haikuist named Mayer[sup]*[/sup],
Who decided to take quite a flyer.
His word-count abuse,
And rhyme and meter obtuse,
Caused his critics to say 'this is dire!'

And my interesting (if open-ended) homework for the weekend.

Trivial.

What might impress them is if you show up on Sunday.

And note that 26/60 is 43.3..., not 41. (And 25/60 is 41.6...; rounds to 42 not 41.)

Bonus points: show, in a debugger, why the perfectly valid C code:

[CODE]main() { int *i; printf("Illegal=%d\n", i[0]); }[/CODE]

...is invalid when run.

Have a great weekend. :smile:

How is that valid? There's nothing pointed at.

Also note that HW1 was not turned in for a grade. We got to lecture, printed out and everything, and he said "...so... I'm not going to grade it."

[QUOTE=Dubslow;287583]How is that valid? There's nothing pointed at.[/QUOTE]

That's the point (no joke intended).

There's an old joke amongst old programmers: "C is valid; right up until run-time...".

Yes, the hw will be trivial when I do it, but the hard part is doing something that is both interesting, impressive, and within my abilities. The first criterion will be hardest to meet, I think.

(Also even if there was a target, the target hadn't been initialized.)

[QUOTE=Dubslow;287583]How is that valid? There's nothing pointed at.[/QUOTE]

Our PR department prefers to tout that as a feature, not a bug. Repeat after me: "Null pointers need not be dull pointers!"



(Yes, I know the pointer will typically not be inited = 0x0 in an optimized compile, but that ruins the joke, you see.)

Implemented addition using nothing but nested NAND gates.

Edit: The best part is, aside from syntax errors (using commas in for loops, forgetting a {, and wrong printf format) it works correctly the first time.

In other news today, I've just made a version without any intermediate logic functions, i.e. it's all nested NANDs.

(Edit: And yes, even that actually does work. I'm amazed I didn't screw up any of the copy/pasting.)
