Week 7, Post 2. The continued lack of joy, from strings.

So, another few days, another post, another minute in time. And some more filler. But anyways, hello and welcome to another post in Blake's awesome blog which includes in this episode how much he hates running, hates strings, and loves The Onion. Anyways, first on to the main meat of this program.

I hate running. Trying to condition myself up to 60 minutes of continuous running is going to be impossible I think. Getting to 10 minutes right now is seeming like an impossible task. Talking to some of my friends, it may be doable in a few months, but I am starting to seriously doubt it. Been about 2 weeks now since I've started, and not really all too much improvement. Guess I gotta start taking protein. Ah well.

Onto programming news. We have been doing a lot of brand new programs recently. Some that are actually quite interesting. There are a ton of commands in the C# that make this whole process a whole lot easier than in VB. For example, If one had a string "asdfghjk" and one wanted to take everything past 3, in VB one would need to count all the letters in the string, and then take a section of it, after counting, or making your program count it.

Using substring, find the place of d, or use Indexof('d') and then take a substring including the index of it (randomletters.Substring(randomletters.IndexOf('d'))) would basically take everything including d and past it. There are tons of other cool little things like that , which make using strings in C# bearable, and actually somewhat easy. I am still not looking forward to this test, but at least it isn't looking too grim. Ah well, on to another week . Good bye readers, I leave you with an awesome video:
