I can't believe some of the stupidity in my class..

| | Comments (0)

I'm in this stupid Java class right now. Now, don't get me started on the uselessness of learning Java in this day and age. Now, I've made it through a C/C++ class with some of the same people and saw some stupid stuff, but nothing prepared me for this.

For our individual assignment this week, one of the goals was to print some data using a for loop, then pause. Now, whether to prompt for user input or to simply do a sleep-style pause was unspecified.

However, in one person's program, they did this:

for(pauseCounter = 0; pauseCounter <= 500000000; pauseCounter ++) {
//* Pause that will last aproximately 5 seconds
}

I don't think you need to be an ace at programming to see why this is absolutely moronic. Obviously somebody didn't bother to look up the sleep function.

Still, 5 points for creativity. -54783533251 points (or should I say -500000000) for implementation.
