Week1, Post 2 (I hate semicolons cont.)

So, as you may have read already, I hate semi-colons. Let me reiterate, i HATE semi colons. My goal by the end of this semester, is to write a program that runs through my code and adds semicolons after every line. Anyways, on to the new stuff. Learning quite a bit of new code, and its actually quite a bit easier to learn than VB was the first time around (Maybe because I have some programming experience.)

One thing I noticed, dimming variables is handled quite a bit differently. Rather than dim x as y, you just dim the variable straight off, and can set it in the dim statement itself, which I like quite a bit more than what VB used, even if it was hard to get used to at first. As well, many of the tools that were previously quite annoying to use, (anything other than a picture / label/ button) have become extremely easy to configure. To create a menu, or list box, you can add items or different options right in the properties, saving quite a bit of time on coding, which will probably come quite useful during tests.

Another thing that is awesome about VB, other than extremely weird input boxes (C# GTA style), to convert a variable from string to integer, is really easy, and helps an incredible amount in printing out solutions. As well, being able to dim variables in the buttons themselves, public variables across forms without the hassles of modules is really quite awesome, and having programs return code form other forms requires about 4 lines of code, which is why C# is awesome, if one ignores the semicolon. One last time, I also now hate squiggly lines with a passion. I spent the better part of 20 minutes trying to make a get statement work, mainly because I didn't realize it needed squiggly lines. And that about sums up my gripes with C# for week 1. Farewell my loyal fans.
