I was able to see the variables, loop and print line when i read your code. So I do understand some stuff. I think the basic stuff as a principal is easy to understand. Keep in mind I am new to this but I think my learning curve right now would be trying to actually right the code and knowing what to write and when. I can look at code and get a general idea of what is going on. Writing it is a whole new sack of potatoes!  |
I think C# is more complex because it lacks a real open-source community or an inviting active community. I mean if you take a look at forums, then you will see that there is always an abundance of people who know Java. How many know C#? This could be just in my mind though. In addition, I think the tools that C# use are a bit more complex. Look up a Java compiler like BlueJ. Even Sun's Netbeans is easy to use. However, that is only my opinion.
Your statement that you can look at the code and understand, but you can't write it tells me that you don't do a lot of applications with your knowledge. So, if I may test this.
Can you write me a program that lets me enter my first, last name, and date of birth and have it printed out under headers that label them as such? You can be flexible with the DOB; it can be stored as an integer and concatenated into the print or entirely stored as a String. I don't care.
It should look like the following:
Quote:
Enter your first name: Logarithms
Enter your last name: Techknow
Enter your DOB: 13/37/00
First Name Last Name DOB
======= ======= ===
Logarithms Techknow 13/37/00 (I know that's not a real date.)

I don't mean to challenge you, but I believe if you had an extremely rudimentary knowledge of C# you would be able to write a program that does this. You don't actually have to post anything. I am just presenting the question: "Can you do this?" I am interested in exactly how far you are in your learning.
