Have a go at each of these, they're a good starting point towards problem solving using programming. You can also look at the Guide to programming.

Oh, and just a couple of non-nerdy but funny comics as well: 451 and 452

why don't you just call the course, Maths.

Because if it were Maths then we would all have to learn it, even those who know nothing about programming and then everyone would be good at it.

What about some Inheritance, dynamic and classes.

Maybe, probably, yes. In that order. But not taught in that order. (People normally learn about classes before inheritance)

Algorithms are great

Yes.

but they're not really C++ specific so why don't you just call the course, Maths.

No. I called it Advanced C++ because:

1. I will be teaching in C++
2. If I called it something like "Using Algorithms" or "Competitive Programming" or "Algorithms in Python", it wouldn't sound as interesting.
3. I will be teaching how to use STL algorithms (maybe) as well
4. I will also be teaching C++ other than algorithms

why did Hugh post when Gatenby is presenting.

It doesn't matter who posts.

Also I could not attend because I had debating meeting at almost the same time.

Computer Club comes before debating. (joking)

If you can't guess who I am

I can.

I am Ben Trubshaw

Yes.

I can't be bothered to sign in for such a trivial purpose.

I see that.

See, I aint signing in either

I see that too.

i am a lazy sh**

Yes.

you have not reached the notoriety required to do anonymous posts you stupid little f***wit…

Yes.

You can tell who i am by the swearing, can't you

Yes.

But Trubshaw, you n00bish little <edit>, you have not reached the notoriety required to do anonymous posts you stupid little f***wit…

You can tell who i am by the swearing, can't you

In this course, you will learn more advanced uses of the C and C++ languages. We will look at the basics of creating and using algorithms to solve tasks.

From the experience, you can participate in any number of computer programming competitions. Several competitions are held each year.

The course will be run one afternoon each week after school until 4:30. To do well in this course, you should already have some experience in using C based languages, such as having done a C/C++ course at BGS.

Your name was gay enough to start with and your own existence is a personal insult to the human race…

Change your name, get a life, get a real avatar, and stop obsessing over some weird-ass capability to change your own username

1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144…

Write a program that displays the largest Fibonacci number less than or equal to a limit supplied to the program on each test run. For example, if the limit is 50, the program should just show 34.

Constraints - you may assume the limit is less than one million.

Run your program on the following three test cases:

Test Input
8
234
876543

Note that username changing is not the best idea, as it can turn confusing. Especially if you change it to something completely unidentifiable, and/or change your avatar at the same time. If you really have to, announce it on the news forum.

Also, don't be worried about these things. They are just a new karma measuring thing.

The reason I did this was to ensure the integrity of the school if someone did, by chance, stumble upon this wiki. I also did this to ensure Trubshaw's sanity.

I appreciate your depth of thought in this regard.
