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.

If you haven't done the course, don't worry, you can always do some C/C++ courses that you can find all over the web (i.e. type C++ Tutorials into Google or whatever search engine you use), but as we all know they just won't be as good as the BGS Course.

Woo! Advanced C++! Yay!

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.

I recommend that you check the link I provided earlier about once a fortnight/month if your interested in my program.

Trubshaw, you stupid n00bish little <edit>….

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

Fibonacci
JGatJGat 1212660602|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
in discussion Programming Challenges / Programming Challenges » Fibonacci

The Fibonacci sequence is well known in mathematics. The first two values are 1 and 1, and every other value is the sum of the two previous values. The first dozen Fibonacci numbers are thus

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

Trubshaw noticed that it's possible to change your username on wikidot, so don't get confused about there being a Michael Bauer 24 on the wiki.

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 userkarma.php?u=80823 things. They are just a new karma measuring thing.

Sanity! What, I don't care, though it is pretty low for some of you to fall to 'almost' Chapman's standards.

Not a problem at all.

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.

I would like to agree with this. Python is not that bad a programming language and it allows more freedom in what you do. I am considering doing NCSS this year and I would personally encourage anyone to take up this opportunity.
