One other random thing that was good because it was easier to get help from the tut, but really strange. Only half my class showed up today.
There was 7 of us. Only 5 before the lab started and then 2 more came a bit late. Really odd. The tutor was surprised too. Not sure how many there normally are but I think more than 14 at least.

They're speaking nerd, Joy.

It's called science.

[Deleted]

And you want to know because...?

Because it is good to know?

[Anakso]

Question 5 is the last? What is it?

I need to write a program that reads in two variables (a and b) and swaps the values of the two variables. Each major function should be done in a separate function. So one function to get a value for a, one for b, one to swap their values and one to print them.

And yea, it's the last.

Knowledge is power!

simples
a=b
b=a

My science is better, it doesn't have weird words or numbers or code or math in it.

What does it then have?!

[Rixis]

That wouldn't really work though, as a would be the value of b, so you'd end up with the same value shown twice.

You'd need to store the values in a separate variable and read it from there.

Asme's a = b, b = a doesn't work.

However temp = a, a = b, b = temp does work. That's called a three-way swap.

# fakultet

def swap(A, B):
    temp = A
    A = B
    B = temp

    return(A, B)

That's the Python version. (I know Python is a fucking joke when it comes to these small things with so few declarations. Script-language.)

>>>swap(4, 6)
(6, 4)

K I'm off to Uni. Got a whole heap of math to take care of :/

Smell you later ladies.

[Rixis]

Pfft, I said that like 10 minutes ago Wass

[Anakso]

Yea that's what I'm doing for this wass ;p
The swap isn't the hard part I believe, I've actually already written all that up. The actual content of each function.

The hard part is what to put in the paremeters, what to return and how to call them in main.
Because we have to use reference calling so it can't just be int swap(Int A, Int B)
It would be int swap(int &A, int &B) I think. Need to read lecture notes again because that looks wrong though.

To use reference calling we're using C++ syntax and not C so I have to compile this as a .cpp instead of .c

[Asmekiel]

Asme's a = b, b = a doesn't work.

Of course it does. It won't give the right answer, but it still works.

3 min earlier and u gave no example. I win.

I was exaggerating, and I don't need to give an example. Aside from it being obvious, you guys are in uni learning programming, if it's obvious to me, I'd be damned if it's not obvious to you

Finally got round to watching Skyfall, now to play Assassin's Creed 4 I guess.

4. Are you from the future? tell me, how is it?

[Deleted]

That's a very good question, Joy. I'm glad you asked that question. But things aren't always about what they are, but rather what they represent. I'd like to think my science is happiness. And love. And marine-biology. In the end, do we really need defined perimeters? Labels just forces limits on things. Do you want to put a limit on science, Joy? Do you want to know who else wanted to put limits on science? One of Hitler's friends. One of the really mean ones.


Yeah, you think about that for a moment.

Perimeters are the best!

I got bored before the load screen even finished, switched the Xbox off.

Eurgh, I forgot about the god awful song they got for this film >.<

Wait Asme, where are you right now? Are you at uni?

What's an Elizabeth? Can we eat it?
