Mastering the Power of C at 42 Lausanne: A Journey into Lower-Level Programming Languages

C and C++ are powerful, efficient, and widely-used programming languages that have shaped the technological world we see today. They form the backbone of many systems, ranging from embedded systems and operating systems to browsers and games. Not only are they integral to the history of computer programming, but they are also continually shaping the present and future of technology.

Introduction to C and C++

C is a procedural language developed at Bell Labs in the early 1970s. Its purpose was to make utilities run on the new Unix operating system. Given its origins and purpose, it's not surprising that C and Unix have influenced each other to such an extent that understanding C provides insight into Unix and vice versa. On the other hand, C++ is an extension of the C programming language with additional features like classes and objects, making it an object-oriented language. It was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in the 1980s with the idea of having a language that has the efficiency of C but provides high-level features.

When to Use C and C++

C is generally used when speed and flexibility are paramount, such as in embedded systems or high-performance computing. It provides near-direct control over the system's hardware and memory, making it an excellent choice for system-level programming. For instance, operating systems, file systems, and network drivers are often written in C. C++ expands upon C by adding object-oriented features, which can make programs easier to understand, design, and maintain. This makes C++ suitable for software infrastructure and resource-constrained applications, including desktop applications, servers, and performance-critical applications.

Where C and C++ Shine

These languages are not for the faint-hearted or those who want quick results. They require a deep understanding of how computers work. They might not be the best fit for creating a website or a simple mobile application, but when it comes to building systems that require real-time performance, high computational efficiency, or specific hardware access, C and C++ are unparalleled. Many hardware devices, from the tiniest microcontrollers to supercomputers, are powered by software written in C and C++. Moreover, their close-to-the-metal nature makes them suitable for graphics-intensive tasks like game development. Popular game engines like Unreal Engine rely heavily on C++ for core systems and high-performance parts.

Experience at 42 Lausanne

My experience at 42 Lausanne, a unique tuition-free, peer-to-peer IT school, helped me truly understand and appreciate the power of C and C++. The school's innovative "Piscine" (Pool) program immerses students in coding by offering a series of challenging exercises in C and Shell over a month-long period. Students not only solve these tasks but also evaluate others' solutions, fostering a collaborative learning environment. The 42 Lausanne's unique model of education, focusing on practical project-based learning, in stark contrast to conventional academic environments, provided a conducive environment for me to hone my C and C++ skills. The school's open-campus policy, round-the-clock operation, and exceptional IT infrastructure offered me the freedom to delve deep into the intricacies of these languages. More than just coding, the 42 Lausanne experience taught me the power of peer learning, collaboration, and the ability to learn by doing. These invaluable experiences have been integral to my development as a professional and have imbued me with the skills to tackle future technological challenges. Conclusion C and C++ are here to stay. Despite the arrival of high-level languages, the need for direct control over hardware and high computational efficiency keeps them relevant. Schools like 42 Lausanne provide a platform for aspiring programmers to master these challenging languages and embark on Read the full article

Let's write a C++ program together. I'll start us off.

I distinctly remember ranting on tumblr about a problem in my code like half a year ago and I was frustrated with arrays of strings in c++ and I REMEMBER a furry adding a comment that just said “you could try parsing the string uwu” and I did it and it WORKED and I was so relieved because I had been fighting with it for like a week.

The only problem is I can’t find that post and I think I dreamt it up. I think God came to me in a dream as a furry responding to my tumblr post to help me fix my code. I am going insane why did my brain do this.

Nobunari Oda performs to Matsuken Samba at the 2024 Japanese National Championships. It is his first performance at Nationals since his retirement in 2013. Oda, who was the Japanese National Champion in 2008, is now 37 years old. He landed three clean jumping passes in his short program (4T3T, 3A, 3Lz) and placed 5th with 84.53 points.

The modder argument is a fallacy.

We've all heard the argument, "a modder did it in a day, why does Mojang take a year?"

Hi, in case you don't know me, I'm a Minecraft modder. I'm the lead developer for the Sweet Berry Collective, a small modding team focused on quality mods.

I've been working on a mod, Wandering Wizardry, for about a year now, and I only have the amount of new content equivalent to 1/3 of an update.

Quality content takes time.

Anyone who does anything creative will agree with me. You need to make the code, the art, the models, all of which takes time.

One of the biggest bottlenecks in anything creative is the flow of ideas. If you have a lot of conflicting ideas you throw together super quickly, they'll all clash with each other, and nothing will feel coherent.

If you instead try to come up with ideas that fit with other parts of the content, you'll quickly run out and get stuck on what to add.

Modders don't need to follow Mojang's standards.

Mojang has a lot of standards on the type of content that's allowed to be in the game. Modders don't need to follow these.

A modder can implement a small feature in 5 minutes disregarding the rest of the game and how it fits in with that.

Mojang has to make sure it works on both Java and Bedrock, make sure it fits with other similar features, make sure it doesn't break progression, and listen to the whole community on that feature.

Mojang can't just buy out mods.

Almost every mod depends on external code that Mojang doesn't have the right to use. Forge, Fabric API, and Quilt Standard Libraries, all are unusable in base Minecraft, as well as the dozens of community maintained libraries for mods.

If Mojang were to buy a mod to implement it in the game, they'd need to partially or fully reimplement it to be compatible with the rest of the codebase.

Mojang does have tendencies of *hiring* modders, but that's different than outright buying mods.

Conclusion

Stop weaponizing us against Mojang. I can speak for almost the whole modding community when I say we don't like it.

Please reblog so more people can see this, and to put an end to the modder argument.

alfred, after reading 2 leters taht had ben delibered to him by a glowing green dog, noded an started to prepare diner before puting a single mesage on the family and friends grup chat.

Ined, this neded a stomash full of food.

Some time later and Alfred decides to drop the bomb.

Alfred: So, today a letter aribed to the maneor. It was sended by both, the CSD and that facility that aided the laters Masters Tom and Marta Wayne..."

Bruce, all confused because no one told him he was a in vitrus boy: My parents what?"

"...Its apears that a tragic had happened in the adoptive home life of Master Bruce´s biological litle brother, and both the state and the Infinite Realms sems to think this house is the perfect place to him and his mirror born twin sister. I expect you all to read this informative triptic because Yung Masters Dany and Dani (neme changing pending) are now half of a rare and prety multidimencional guarded species. An I will be damed and put my two weeks advice if my litle new sons are damaged by this emotional conspirational family"

Jackson was the frist one to react.

"Holy shit! this time te suprised new silbing one is Bruce?!"

"Oh so is it hereditary... " was Dick reaction

"A rare and delicated species you said? I shal go to therapy then." was Damian two cents before going to the library in seearsh of a good candidate.

Menawile... Bruce had yet to rebot.

Tim: okay but how jung?

Alfred: human 11 yeears old, and in ghost form 5 months old. Little Dani is just 2 months old. ¿Could you belive it? Please Miss Kent, go and give this nasty Master man a beaten up could you? i would go after him myself but i need to take care of the litles halfas.
