Hello friends.

I know I haven’t been here for a long time, and that’s because... I have been sick! Shocking, I know.

I don’t want to put anyone out, and I hate doing this, but if you could- could you guys send this along to anyone you know who might be able to help? Please don’t feel obligated.

Thank you all again for being cool followers at TPS. We’ve had some great times. And by that I mean... suffered together.

Your friend,

B

One week before program is due: “I’ve defined all of my classes, I can easily write the code to implement them in a few hours!”

One hour before program is due: “I can not do this it takes more time than I thought!”

*working on code that implements a method the professor wrote*

“Why is this not working?! This should definitely work!”

*checks professor’s method*

“He copy-pasted wrong! Of course it won’t work when THE MAIN METHOD IS WRONG!!”

*has been staring at and scrolling through code for 20 minutes trying to figure out why its not working*

*fed up* “LOOK I KNOW YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO WORK LIKE 95% OF THE TIME BUT what about that other 5%, huh? Can I program a random generator that’s rigged to only make the code work?”

*suddenly stares wildly off into the distance* “Maybe...”

Program: *Does not do what it’s supposed to.* Me: “But where is the error?” Me: *compiles code piece by piece to find the error, while the ‘error in line such-and-such’ remains unhelpful* Me: *finds the part that throws the error* Me: “There is no error here…” Me: *goes through letter by letter* Me: “…I forgot the array brackets and instead asked for a variable.” Me: “Why is this throwing an error twenty lines later in a completely different code section?”

When the while loop keeps crashing everything and you can’t figure out how to make it not infinite, and you’re like- “alright, it’s time to contain the beast” /*Beast is contained within this block, unleash at your own risk * infinite while loop  */
