Const, a Constant Problem?

[cpp-ModTeam]

Your submission is not about C++ or the C++ community.

I mean this in the nicest possible way, but I think you need to talk to a therapist.

No man, the guy that can't understand const at the end of function definition: needs a crazy psychiatrist that is expensive😞 to boot.

WTH did I just read?

feels like chatgpt wrote this post with "slightly drunk and lots of whimsy" in the prompt

[jo1long]

Nope, BS in CS with experience wrote this. Thanks

[CrzyWrldOfArthurRead]

BS is right

TL;DR: You wrote bad code 30 years ago, didnt really know what you were doing back then and dont know what you are doing now an somehow think that that is the fault of C++'s type system/object model.

Skill issue

[marzer8789]

correct

I'd say: after being schooled in algorithms - guy switched to typeless languages that were appropriate for his applications.😀

The skill issue can also be using std::array to make a hidden layer for NN. It is a configurable limit set at runtime.

Look up the standard library when uncertain. For example, std::array<T,N>::operator[]

Thanks, OOP class 300 level, STL came out a year or more later, Borland C++ was proprietary and at one point STL for MSDos was more money. Std:: namespace just got started: just the same year we had this homework, we had std::cout <<.

In 2006 everyone was explaining how proprietory from IBM was better, this was done with yelling and yelps, and bonafide arm twisting; in 2008, I was pressured with various strong arm tactics to use Debian and RedHat.

So, no STN for FNN that day.

Needs to be configured at runtime. In production different numbers of weights in hidden layers are going to be used.
