C Course
December 21, 2003
Toward the end of last school year, my Computer Science teacher asked the class if anyone would have been interested in a C Course. I submitted my interest in the topic. So, at the beginning of October, we started the C lessons and this past week we had the last lesson.
Previously, I only knew QBasic, so that is my term of comparison.
I’ve found C to be way more elegant, probably due to the usage of curvy parenthesis instead of END
, NEXT
, and similar keywords to delimit code blocks within cycles and control structures.
I’m not sure if the difference has been the language or how it was teched to me, but I found it way more powerful and dangerous than QBasic at the same time. I’ll continue writing C programs in the following months, and maybe that feeling will change with the experience.
