I don’t get it? Is it how the youth speak?

Yeah, when I grokked that simple fact pointers became easy.

It uses a strongly type language so it teaches good practices, it’s based on a widely used language in the industry, it’s a bloody good course that teaches the fundamentals of programming very well. If you learn better with videos, I recommend this course, but it’s not free.

A good place to start is the University of Helsinki Java MOOC, it starts from zero knowledge and has lots of practice exercises.

Well it’s only divisible by itself and one

Imagine, if you will, a whole open plan office full of them…

Except on IT which is extremely realistic.

Maybe a play on “This page intentionally left blank” from the IBM manuals

It was called Elvis back when it was a smiley

My all-time favourite programming language was a dialect of BASIC. HiSoft BASIC on the Atari ST.

RIP.

Man your reading comprehension is really low.

If I do it straight after the constructor, then definitely but if I get distracted by something else then it’s only probably until I run it through valgrind and see the leak. These days, I mostly use smart pointers in new code though so there are fewer opportunities to need a destructor. It’s funny that I never forget when opening a file or db connection!

The compiler will still generate one. It won’t be any use but it will be generated :)

Yeah the compiler generates it so it’s always there

There’s always a destructor though. It may do nothing but it’s there.

Only if you’re a bad programmer :/

Feds have found a way to hack rust /s?

Technically, all comedy is staged unless you’re laughing at someone’s real life misfortune.
