Unfortunately when you're around "smart people" for long enough you'll eventually come to learn that most of your peers are massively insecure about their own intelligence (because their entire concept of status derives from worshipping intellect)

this is especially true in high school, university, and academia, and in left wing circles where appearing smart / gifted is obviously encouraged by the system to an unnatural degree

anon, everyone around you is full of shit. life advice, anon, the truly intelligent people either pretend to be dumb or will be too busy working on amazing personal endeavours to talk to anyone outside of a narrow field of specialists

but yeah, the industry is slightly better

Asking stupid questions is looked down upon in any industry and in any major worth a damn.

Especially in college. Most students are too lazy look anything up in the text or online.

Hopefully you find some solace on this anime imageboard. There is always some thread complaining about 'pajeets' or 'women'. Post in one of those, that might make you feel better.

>Is asking for help looked down upon in programming?
Somewhat. You should generally be competent enough to solve your own problems, or at the very least piece together the information you need from other sources. That said, you should consider the fact that you are in an academic setting. The purpose of the assignment is for you to learn how to figure out on your own how to solve it using what you have learned from paying attention to the class lectures and taking notes every day. Students are wise not to provide too much help towards homework problems, otherwise it might remove the challenge element of the assignment, and possibly be considered academic dishonesty. It's one thing to ask for help with a subject that was covered in the lectures, it's another to ask someone to make you have less work to do on the assignment by sharing some of what they've learned with you. My professors have often told my classmates and I that on programming assignments, it's fine to share some high level concepts, but that we shouldn't share code. This can get blurry though, so my personal policy has generally been to do all of the homework at home and not talk about it too much with other students.

Depends on what you mean by help. I'm glad to point people in the right direction, and help them learn, but I won't show others my code.

Yeah. Unless it's something somewhat trivial, it's generally just shit-talking for fun.

Today, a dev was laughing at interns for having shitty laptops and not a cool gaming laptop like him. He said that he has a gaming laptop so he can be cool and socialize. I told him that that's what a living room is for. Interns laughed at him. It was a good time.

You start this paragraph with rhetoric and eventually make it to potentially valuable anecdote, so I read something very strongly reminiscent of dogmatic babble that tutors dish out to pad lecture time. That shit's dangerous for the unwise, especially to those who need to ask questions as they might have not all of their shit and perspective in a stable place yet. "Should, purpose, might, consider, for, thing" these phrases don't have much real value to engineers and learning, itself is a mechanical phenomenon. These phrases lead to distracted, social snobbery and bigotry anyway. Realistic engineers optimise them out of their vernacular.
You should consider ( ;) ) that the ideals of those institutions which are a confusing mix of ego and career driven academia/research/industry/education misfits.
Sounds like you have a pretty good attitude for your own education but don't under-estimate how much you can pick up from other through seemingly hardly-stimulating exposure.
I think that further into your education, code will be fine to discuss and strategies/algorithms/justifications will be the subject to plagiarism concern.
I didn't actually achieve what I wanted to say about your advise being dicey. But I hope I strung together the picture.
Hey, why do you call yourself sempai when you yourself are a student (undergraduate?)? Anyway, real pride is in being a learner and sharer, not teacher. Just incase you had some affinity for the phrase sempai. I assume that you're good and even helpful when the topic is Ruby.

The purpose of my post was to explain why it is that many of Anon's fellow classmates may be unwilling to help, and what is expected of them as a programmer.

> "Should, purpose, might, consider, for, thing" these phrases don't have much real value to engineers and learning, itself is a mechanical phenomenon. These phrases lead to distracted, social snobbery and bigotry anyway. Realistic engineers optimise them out of their vernacular.
You should explain your reasoning for your argument.

>Hey, why do you call yourself sempai when you yourself are a student (undergraduate?)?
Student, yes. Undergraduate, no. I am currently working on my master's degree. I call myself sempai because I've had a few beginners looking up to me in the daily programming threads, and some were calling me sempai. I figured I'd just add it into my tripcode. In any case, sempai doesn't mean teacher, it just means you're someone's senior, so it's fine for a student to use it.

That's why I slowly began dropping advanced classes in high school alltogether. Most of the people in higher level academia are simply "worker-bee" type people that are easily led by authority figures. The most sad part about it is that they will never leave academia. They will never progress from where they are in life, because they refuse to break from the mold. They sit in on one continuous path their entire lives without realizing it goes nowhere. They end up with some low-paying drone job and die in it.

People who do that are insecure assholes. Most teachers, in my colleague at least, prefer if the students have questions and need help. It shows that they are engaging in the class and learning something.

Plus, if that asshole know the subject already, why the fuck is he taking the class the same class as you ?
>>
Asking for help when you've exhausted your options is encouraged.

If you ask for help and haven't done your due diligence, then yeah, you're probably going to get trashed. Nobody wants to waste their time doing your job for you if it doesn't look like you put in the effort.

Even then though, you'll probably get a few freebies before people realize you're an incompetent fuckwit who doesn't care about wasting their time (if that is the case). It really depends on your attitude how people are going to react to your questions.

And then yeah, there are some smug assholes, but they're probably not as common as they are in school.

You see, all the problems in software development are split into two categories:
1) those that you can figure out yourself - you get some kind of working solution and may ask others to review your solution
2) those that you can not figure out yourself - you discover a bug in existing code or a technology drawback and may post a bug report before thinking of workaround
you don't just fukken casually ask other to solve your problem

I became *that* guy.

At first when people asked me questions about something they didn't understand, I thought they did it out of pure interest in what they're studying, and I was happy to help them. I mean, I got to talk to people with whom I shared some kind of interest.

But then when they asked me the same thing for the 4th time, thinking every time their problem was any different than the others, I finally understood. They don't learn. They simply don't care. When the exam is done, they forget everything you've told them. If they cared, they wouldn't have such stupid problems. I'm an average person and I don't have the problem they're having. It's either because they're all dumber than the average person, or I'm a genius, or they simply have no interest in what they're doing. I'll take the latter. They're just interested in getting passing grades so that they can get their worthless piece of paper and get rejected at the door of the workplace of their dreams. They got into CS because they want to "just liek maek gaymes" or straight out had no idea what to do with their lives.

Now, if someone ever asks me about something trivial, I'll either answer "this was covered in the lesson" or "You'll easily figure that one out".

Boolean is a primitive datatype in Java. Look it up.

Full list of java primitive datatypes:
-bool
-byte
-char
-int
-long
-float
-double

Values of class types are references. For example: Strings are references to an instance of the class String.

Hence your example with the Boolean, not being changed by the method, is because boolean is a primitive datatype. If you tried doing the same test with a String it would in fact, change.

>>
>>59516579

Are you blind or just dumb? In my example I never wrote boolean, only Boolean.
The method takes a Boolean, not a boolean.

But even if you avoid the whole issue of boxing you're wrong.
public class ValRefTest
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String myString = "Original Value";
testSideEffect(myString);
System.out.println(myString);
}

public static void testSideEffect(String s)
{
s = "New Value";
}
}

Compile and run it.

Stackoverflow is fairly cancerous, but they have their reasoning, the questions are not merely answered for the benefit of the questionnaire, but for other people who encounter a similar problem, a solution would be ready for them on the same thread.

Chances are you asking for something that is answered and easily found on stack overflow. Even pajeet code monkeys can figure how to find programming help themselves.

It works, because the list is passed by reference, so it can be modified inside the function. Only primitive types are passed by value.
Also, you call mew every time you create an object, so it remains until the GC removes it.
This is basic java behaviour, and your prof should have known the answer.
>>
>>59516647
You are changing the reference to a new object, not modify the object to a new value.
Think of it as pointers. Calling assignment operator on a pointer will not change the object it references, but the reference it holds.
Try calling a method on the object, that changes its state. And be aware, that boxed types and String are unmutable, so they don't have state changing methods.
>>
>>59522401

Exactly.
In such cases you are following the pointer.to the object and changing that, not changing the pointer/variable itself.

Passing a pointer =/= pass-by-reference.

>>
>>59522431
This is Java, not C++. Java and C# smear the two things, so people coming from C area will get confused.
>>
>>59522584

That's correct. Java has no mechanism for pass-by-reference like it can be done in C++ or PHP. That's the point.

Time for a black pill. Programming is probably the worst IT profession. The truth is most of you are going to spend your entire careers building apps for insurance companies to help them scam the middle class out of compensation claims. You'll work 12 hour+ days and then you'll go home each day tired as fuck but you won't get to relax because you'll have to study more bullshit about development to keep up. If you don't your autistic peers will over-take you and that will show up in the job. Not to mention that tech is always introducing so many new fads each week that companies like to phase random buzz words into their "stack" so if you don't live and breath this shit you won't be able to keep a dev job long term.

You'll eventually have to sacrifice everything to the alter of abstraction and you'll be expected to put on a smile while you do it. Now if you pass all that (most of you won't, your degree is worthless) - you'll get a job writing code for 12 hours a day at some shitty company. You'll do that till you get too old to keep up which in tech is probably like 30 then you'll retire. And if you're lucky and your skills aren't already out of date from your brief employment at company to company, maybe you'll get another job writing code for less than what young people earn because of pajeet and agism.

So when did /g/ realize that programming is one of the worse jobs in IT? I mean think: There is the long hours. The complete lack of job security. Endless homework or "personal projects." The money is good but specialization in technologies that go out of date in a month is required and the poor work life balance make it pointless. IMO: anyone who is good enough to be a developer is good enough to do a job in IT that pays better and treats you better so I'm guessing most developers are just incredibly naive and ignorant, career-wise, I mean.

I agree. Java hides the value/pointer passing from the reader, and misnames it as reference. This leads to the confusion.
>>
>>59522706

I'm glad somebody understands.

What OP has asked for help with is something that our teacher neglected to explain in any real detail, and is a concept that is harder to grasp for people who don't have prior experience with this kind of programming.

You guys have to understand how early they are in their course, and that OP hasn't "made it" any real distance. Thus, being smug about understanding it is nothing short of intense autism.

what a shitty reply

>yea well you're not 100% right in every conceivable case.. where's my replies and adoration?
>>
>>59505690
Yeah sorry bro, I dank up and get great marks.

Weed can potentially make you unmotivated (ie. all you want to do is smoke and play video games) but I don't think it actually has impaired my intelligence or ability.
>>
>>59505332
What a fucking moron you are. This feel-good shit may appeal to people's emotions but here's reality:

Just because you perceive nice people or generous people as intelligent doesn't make them so. You're the one who's insecure. Some people work their asses off to accomplish what they have and despise stupid people who will complain about failing classes due to their own ineptitude. Of course though, stupid people like you are going to say that intelligence doesn't matter because you're not intelligent. Truly intelligent people act how they act. Some are nice to you fucking retards and some are mean.

AND, that bully in highschool isn't jealous of you, no matter how many times your mom says so.

>>59505332
I've noticed that people who show off their intelligence or think they're very smart frequently overestimate themselves. When I attended middle school, there was this computer whiz who always had this air of superiority. It was so funny to see the pathetic look on his face when he did horribly on a standardized test. In contrast, the student who got nearly a perfect score (99.99% percentile) looked like just any other regular student. When I was in high school, there was this chemistry whiz who did well in has classes acted confident to the point where he think he's better than most of his classmates, but funnily enough, he believed he could create a perpetual motion machine using magnets.

It depends. I've had senior engineers kinda look down on me a bit or who have found me a pain in the ass because I did something incorrectly or not the best way. But generally people have been helpful and are willing to teach you.

Kids in college on the other hand were total pricks so...

Java doesn't hide anything. It doesn't have a method to pass by reference because Java is always pass by value. This is actually even easier to understand if you aren't retarded.

We had one guy as an intern who couldn't figure out how to create an object in C#. When we told him to Google it he typed in "Programming Make New Object".
I wasn't sure whether I should laugh or feel bad about him.

It's ok to ask and yeah there are pretentious people in the industry. With the amount of things to learn in IT it is a given that there'll be some things you wouldn't know.

Anyway I usually try to research first before I ask around.

Lmao act how they act. You're right on that and only that. Except they choose to not act like a true neanderthal and actually keep themselves in check rather than be a slave to their emotions and sound like a babbling raging spastic fool.
