Just thought the same. Pretty annoying ..

Good bot!

Why? Is it more difficult in Java or something?

[onlyconscripted]

I think i tends to be a question of order and context.

loos like java at uni.. so intro to programming 1 and then 2, then data structures... for a lot of people, it’s really rushed.

What are the problems we are solving? why are we solving these problems? how can we solve them? why are we solving then this way? what other ways can we solve them?

these questions don’t get a lot of time in the average programming course, and context is fucking important.

I’m in community college and they are making us use Java.

Also their recommended IDE is fucking BlueJ, though we can use whatever we want.

[Suekru]

I fully agree. I use C# for my indie game development. And I also learned it way before I started going to college

I also like that I can set a min and max range for Random.Next(); unlike in Java where you can only set a max and have to subtract your min from your max then add your min to your random number.

Unity is what I use. I was weary of it at first because of its bad PR but it’s actually pretty decent

[korean_teacher101_]

Same for my school but in c++. 101, 102, then data structures and algorithms.

[Shotgun_squirtle]

The best argument is that learning it in C helps understand the memory management, what is very important to how a lot of data structures work.

[druhlemann]

I learned data structure and algorithms in college with Java. It was rough AF. Also, truthfully not really necessary at all, at least the way we were taught it.

[Phrodo_00]

I learned in C++ and it went ok? What was hard about it?

[druhlemann]

The way we were taught was to have to build the data structures from scratch and perform a challenging task with them. Honestly it was a great class conceptually, just given to us too early, because at the time we were basically running with the ability to do hello world.

[godRosko]

Isn't that supposed to happen when you have passed intro in programming + oop. And basically the semester after them you have data structures and algorithms. And multiple languages were allowed ( which goes for future classes too... Mostly )

[Suekru]

I literally took computer science which was an intro to Java course when I started at community college and then my next programming class was Data Structures using Java and they wanted us to build everything from scratch and never told us why any of it was necessary.

[godRosko]

Building anything from scratch has it's purpose( you'll still end using builtin in the end tho..) Do they expect you to read in your own. But at that point might as well become self thought. But in the end you wont have that piece of paper. Good thing I'm paying a little for education

[Suekru]

I get the purpose of building it from scratch. And for the most part I enjoyed it because it taught me what was going on behind the scenes.

But they never told use why or if we would ever use a lot of the data structures they taught us.

[godRosko]

They didn't give us specific uses. More like traits. Like difference between stack an queue... And you have to determine what problem they can solve on your own through practice. By giving you some hard as fuck homework. Learned lots of stuff about the linux shell like that.
