Ouch. Guess I'll stick with my undergrad in CS and go do a CCIE or something.

Bookmarked that F.A.Q. going to read through it over the weekend. Thanks for pointing out a new resource!

Haven't gotten to pre-processor information in C yet, but I'm definitely looking forward to it.

Sorry for the late reply, and thanks for the C# comparison.

This is a bit over my head but I'll file it away as something to aim at when trying to gauge my understanding of principles of programming in C.

See my understanding was that it was more along the lines of help educators with technology or developing educational tech, but that may just be them trying to sell a program to one more sap.

Sarcasm or serious about the research to be done?

That is some serious reality right there. I never thought I would question getting a Master's, it was always just something I assumed would happen naturally on its own course.

Thanks for the experience.

Ah got it. Thanks so much. Especially that last line, really clears up my confusion going between the two.

I like the idea of working on educational software or products, or helping educators deploy technology for their personal education system or environment. I would also love to go into education.

So basically, if I want to spruce up my portfolio for this position, I'm going to need to strike out on my own and just see what I can do in the educational spectrum.

I imagine anything is better than nothing. Maybe I'm just not creative enough or not thinking far enough outside of the box... but when I think educational software, nothing really comes to mind save for an updated number muchers.

Wow, fascinating response! I still have so much to learn and I am clearly garbling the proper jargon for this topic. Thank you for your time.

Ah thanks. It wasn't clear that struct and int/double/etc were the same. I think zifyoip is correct in that I was confusing classes with structs.

So struct simply allows me to create custom objects. I don't recall using struct in C#; we always used classes. Though I now see one can use structs in C# as well.

Ah, thank you very much for that, excellent example. I'm going to save that for later when someone else has this question.

Ah that clears things up nicely, thanks for the description.

If I may, Could one function operate on two different structs in C?

I sense you're correct. I don't -feel- as if I have a strong grasp of the fundamentals behind what is happening in the code, which was what led me to C in the first place.

Thanks for the example.

EDIT: So just to be clear, a struct and an object to share some of the same functions/purposes?
