Working on an assignment for uni, object oriented programming with Java.

Just spent 40 minutes banging my head against the table because I’m a fucking idiot

What’s the assignment?

Hah, what did you do?

Nice

This is on inheritance, at the moment I am completing some classes and methods etc.

I just forgot something really really basic that we covered on day 1.

Ah, we all forget where the power button is sometimes, don't sweat it.

@zarathustra No one’s blaming you. Programming is new to everyone at some point. In the beginning I couldn’t wrap my head around references. Do they point to variables? Objects? Turned out it’s objects. Pure memory pointers aren’t part of Java.

Yeah, it’s just frustrating. But it’s been a busy day trying to fix about 10 different things in the legacy .Net application I inherited at work and running around after the baby.

@zarathustra you need pointers, hmu!

@zarathustra too many topics fry the brain.

*Experience I gathered by sometimes working on dozens of projects at the same time*

An idiot for learning Java? It's not your fault. many universities force it on students.

Just make sure you pick up a different lang as soon as possible so you don't end up a scrum-cog in some corporation / consultancy.
