So what you're saying is you're looking for some pointers on pointers.
"**** hath no fury like a bad pointer" that's all I can say.

Oh god frnash, that's over the top. On that note have a good summer.
BTW, been taking some C++ classes at the local college. Don't have a good grasp of pointers. Any good resources out there?
I wasn't that impressed with C++ vs. plain ol' "C" language. C++ is all about "object-oriented programming", thus objects, and most of the early developers didn't have a clue.
As a result, there were many too-hasty C++ implementations, without a rigorous, careful ground-up hierarchical design, which were thus nearly impossible to maintain; worse than the ol' "spaghetti code" Basic programming of yore. That brings to mind an old truism from my programming days:
So what's an "object"? The short answer, in 25, er… 100 words or less:
An "object" is a concrete "instance" of a conceptual "class" (blueprint) that encapsulates both its own data types and the methods for manipulating those data types, as opposed to the historical method of manipulating data with external "methods" (programs, subroutines). This has the effect of "hiding" that data (data encapsulation) and restricting the "methods" — that may be used in accessing and/or manipulating that data — to those methods embedded in the object, in attempt to protect that data from unintended effects.
That being said, what specifically is the problem you are having with pointers? (Feel free to send me a PM, prefereably including your email address, and we can deal with this off-line.)

What I want to know is how many credits can I claim for this course? I'm thinking that having some course credits from J.D.U would look very good on my transcript. It should be worth something because there are beads of sweat on my forehead and my palms are still clammy.
By the way, the jokes are funny but they are sick, sik, (sic)

I guess I did a bad job of picking my username, eh? Maybe I will have to change it in the future.

Mark, your username is completely normal and perfectly fine. It's just ME who's not right! But you've been pease in my head for a few years...hard to change your nickname now!
