Newbie Coders Chat

I've just personally always thought that programming a mathematical solution to a problem is a waste of my time. I'd rather do something exciting and fun.

Well, I find it fun! It really depends if you have an interest in mathematics or not. Also, it really isn't. Some mathematical tasks are too tedious (for example, doing something millions of times, potentially to prove/disprove a conjecture via proof by exhaustion), or hard/infeasible, to be done by hand, so programming comes into definite practical usage. It can also help answer interesting questions about mathematics!



Cool! What have you done with it so far?

are some of you guys doing a non-compsci degree at uni? I want to study law and economics and was thinking of doing this on the side

I don't know where you heard this from. But it is wrong. Hexidecimal is base 16. You may be able to round knock off some off the characters, in special circumstances, but there is no rule to be had here i'm afraid. Do you know how to count in hexidecimal for example?

There's nothing like a newbie thread to masturbate your ego, is there?

All of this writing about coding in java, but no actual programs! I am disappointed! I have also been learning it for a week, and here are my first three programs to get you started with!

public class HelloWorld { public static void main (String[] args) { System.out.print ("Hello, World"; }}

public class Robot { String name; Robot (String name) { this.name = name; } void speak (String msg) { System.out.println(msg + name); } public static void main (String[] args) { Robot r = new Robot("debbie"; r.speak("hey there! It's me... "; Robot b = new Robot("bob"; b.speak("My name is... "; } }

import java.util.Scanner;public class Wheel { double radius; Wheel (double radius) { this.radius = radius; } double getCircumference () { return 2 * Math.PI * radius; } double getArea () { return radius * radius * Math.PI; } public static void main (String[] args) { System.out.println("Please provide a real."; Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in); double d = s.nextDouble(); System.out.println(d); Wheel w = new Wheel(d); System.out.println(w.getCircumference()); System.out.println(w.getArea()); }}

See if you can figure out what they do?

I want to learn how to code, but the vast amount information online makes my head hurt. I tried teaching myself HTML and CSS, but am only at the basic level tbh...

Well of course I have to brag... This is TSR..... Plus wasn't my post beneficial? Now people know that if they are stuck, then they can come to me with their problem (granted that it's in a language I know). I would also like to take this time to present a very simple algebraic expression:



Please never forget that I am superior than you. <3333.
