Gregory's ServerSpeaking as an American Of A Certain Age (38) who took Advanced Placement Computer Science in high school, I wonder how much professional C++ software is/was floating around out there that uses the apvector, apstring, and apmatrix helper classes that were written specifically as teaching tools...

Are they horribly unoptimized and unoptimizable by the compiler just to be easier to understand?

@grishka I don't know if they are though I suspect they must be! They are certainly easy to understand

@darius *gasp* They switched away from Pascal! jk Even back when I was taking AP CS, the choice of Pascal seemed dubious. I only learned it for the test, but was learning and using C on my own. But going from Pascal to C++ seems a bit dubious as well. 😆 |
@darius I think I took the test the first year after the switch to Java, kinda wild and I guess a bit impressive that it's been the same language for nearly 2 decades
