so I know(hope) I'm not the only one who is taking/has taken a class in C++. I've never been so frustrated in a class my entire life. I'm on my last assignment for the class and it has been nothing but a headache (this program as well as the entire class)
(bloodymary ramble)
originally I wasn't going to touch this program today (a single deck blackjack game that throws an exception based on cards left in the deck compared to how many players are on the table) but had one of those sparks that tells you, "THIS I EXACTLY WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO!" so I fired up xcode and went with what I thought was the right direction. needless to say it WAS NOT correct but I knew I was on the right track. anyway . . . after about 2.5 hours of errors and code that is syntactically correct yet does nothing close to what I wanted I finally got past a huge brick wall!
(/bloodymary ramble)
anyway, with any luck I'll complete and turn in the assignment tomorrow! after I got past the wall I decided to celebrate with some mixed drinks!
does anyone else have coding nightmares they wish to share?
EDIT: (dork) unfortunalty my professor hates the use of global variables and that is exactly what I felt I needed to use to get things going so I'll probably be penalized for it (/dork)
