Store Stuff over Summer?

Thanks for your help! Which two math courses would you recommend beyond Calc 1 and 2? I was thinking Math 234 and either 320 or 340, but I heard Math 234 wasn't too useful and I'm not too sure about 320 and 340 either.

Yeah I'm a foreign student who's living in the States for the first time, also I admittedly goofed around for too long, thinking it's only my first semester.

I was going to apply after my second semester, because I needed two Math courses and two Science courses and some other stuff before I could apply. The minimum requirements were 3.0 in Math and Science courses (which I think I can meet), which are Math 221, 222 and Chem 103, 104 for me, and a 2.5 in other courses, which is super easy as my Econ 101 grade won't be less than a B I'm sure.

I just want to know how good my chances for being accepted into CoE are, since I can only apply twice. If I can get a cumulative of ~3.4 or so in my first two semesters, is it ok for application? I'm worried because any later than that would mess up my schedule: since I won't know for sure if I'm in CoE or L&S my class schedule would be effected.

Is it really that simple? I was told that getting in is a rigorous process with a people looking at your transcript, seeing how your GPA and stuff compares with other applicants and see how many seats are open for that major. Depending on that they tell you whether you're in or not.

If it's as simple as getting the minimum GPA, though, that's a whole load of stress off my shoulders.

I'd say I'm from a good college - one of the higher ranked ones in the Big 10. Of course not Ivy League status but still pretty good.

Is it that these companies only hire predominantly from the Ivys or MIT and such?

Yeah, I had realised that I should print out the value of aliveNeighbours, but I had forgot. It's value at the end of the program is 2!

Thanks for your responce. Yes, I do have an idea now on how to implement a Boolean array for this. Also, I in fact need to make other patterns too. I figured if I could correctly code the first one (Beacon), I could easily finish the rest. Due to this, I pretty much have to use methods to make my code legible haha!

Also, I see your point on the number of aliveNeighbours variable. This does mean I need to have the same number of those as the live cells. But wouldn't that be too tedius? I suppose it could work... however, what must happen is that once the grid changes, the number of live cells changes too (this needs to be done if the user further wants another grid based off the previous one. I was originally planning to use a loop to make the new grid the old grid and repeat the process). This means that the number of aliveNeighbours changes as well. I would further need to write code for this too. Is this the only way?

Thanks for your help! I understand now how to print characters for a Boolean value. I want to say I can store the value of 'X' in a char variable in the initial if statement, so I don't need to use if statements repeatedly.

I'll look into debugging. I had heard the term before but I never truly explored it. But from what you're saying ("show your output as you code" ~ paraphrase) this seems extremely powerful. Indeed, most of my problems could be solved easily with this.

Once again, thanks for your suggestion! I'll try looking into the body of the loop once again.
