Our university syllabus is so outdated, we are forced to do C programs in TurboC.
So we install Dosbox on Windows 8 machines...
1 upvote = 1 prayer

Thank god our university made Linux distro mandatory so we had to do C programs using GCC and I mostly used VIM editor.

@azuredivay Exact same protocol followed. 😅

@AJgotBeard Yea i should do that. I am from Shah and Anchor Kutchhi Engineering College, India

All hail MU 🙌 for recommending stuffs which are upto date

I love the fact that 9999 is considered infinity hahaha. Like "who would ever need to count higher than that?!"

I mean I get that it does something in the algorithm, but it just looked so "no one will ever need more than 64kb of ram"-isch.

@AJgotBeard me too bro .. and my friends copied that turbo shortcut from school desktop into usb and tried to run at home. xD

@manox14 Lmao! We all have that one guy

@samsepiol in my case its most of class

It's actually great you learning how to get stuff done using rudimentar technology. Now learn Lotus 1-2-3 and and you are ready for the zombie apocalipse.

And here i thought turbo c died with the dinosaurs

@gosubinit In that case they should also lean how to make fire!

Also they should learn them to kill so turboc can be killed. (killall; *Nix jokes)

In my country they still teach pascal (similar to delphi)

c++

I would say you could accumulate infinite wisdom, but its only 9999!!!

@op I would highly recommend CLRS book. My retarded professor didn't even mention about the priority queue DS that is used by Dijkstras and I have a feeling your teacher is retarded as well. Cheers!

ohhh its sooo cute ^^, dude if you need any help shout out, it was one of my first ide's back in the 90's. Class. Appreciate the opportunity! ;)

My eyes!!!

I'm from Nepal but studying in India. One suggestion : Change your IDE ASAP. :D

Ah mister sepiol,
The great indian syllabua is 20 years old.
Also its shit.
So are 80% of the 1.5 million engineering graduate's every year.

so yeah, I feel your pain xD.

@AJgotBeard Chitwan :)

Dude, I can feel you. I have to use the same Turbo shit along with 8085 simulators, Prolog for AI and so on ...

Ssup nigga

@nullbit Sup bro

@PsiB0T MU?

@samsepiol Hey there! I am from Bits pilani but I am Kutchi! The name caught my attention 😅

I am sorry to hear that. No one should use Windows 8

@tilde Mumbai University

@AJgotBeard yes username : @samyeakmhj

sure @AJgotBeard my handle is @immanoj9 if you use telegram we have group called "Linux Group" most are from np. (though i wanted a irc chanel where np coder n devs could meet and collaborate .....) anyway

I'm guessing you're first year..
Wait till you do 'graphics' programming in TurboC.

We were even taught 'visual basic' (2006) in my second year.

Horrible experience.!!

@shreyansjain33 Nah i'm second year, and we do have graphics in Turboc! 10/10

Hell, we were even taught how to windows 10 in 1st semester.
😑😑

@captain-sully and we still teach computer science in papers (even in higher degrees ). and you know what they still taxe for syntaxe errors or if you miss a ;

That's why text editor on Linux is my game 🤘

@haithamSboui that's bizarre ! Seriously !

Been there. Done that.

And I was ranting about the fact that next year I'll have to "learn" C for the third time... 🤔

This is giving me flashbacks to last year when we were programming a MC6803 emulator running in DOSBox in assembly.

Stop whining you pussies. Learning TurboC is still learning C. You should be greatful. :D

@PsiB0T Joining MU this year. How is it over there?

@isRantOverflow Lol avoid it at all costs if you can. Which college are you going to? My advice would be to Choose an autonomous college. They have it so much better. More vacations. Less strict on attendance. They're the opposite of MU

@samsepiol Manipal is my hometown and I would prefer stricter attendance :3

@samsepiol I was asking more particularly about how the syllabus and teachers are.

Turbo C was really awesome 25 years ago...

@isRantOverflow the Teachers vary from college to college. Be sure to checkout the reviews online before taking admission as they are pretty accurate in my case. The college will show you pretty stuff to bait you in but later you'll realize you never have access to those stuff or the college has only that thing to boast about. The syllabus is a bit outdated. There are some unnecessary deep electronics subjects for computer engineering which i have no idea why they're there. The first year is the hardest for most people and they get kt in the first year itself so focus hard in the first year, clear Mechanics and BEE and you're good to go. Second year is ez. Idk about further years

@samsepiol tell your friends about codeblocks... then everyone just go and ask the teacher that you are comfortable in codeblocks... we did that in our college...and codeblocks-ep for graphics... yeah... I'm from MU as well! and worried about teachers? learn everything from the Internet!

@randomnumber Yea, teachers don't bat an eye. In first year, our teacher explicitly told us to use codeblocks but still we used text editor and terminal.

I can understand. We were being forced to use turbo C at school, but when we got a new computer lab, I installed Dev C++ on the computers that didn't have turbo C (basically half the PCs in the lab). Gave the teacher his much needed pain.

Good luck counting the millions you'll be making after you graduate

If I could give you 5 more ++, I would. I feel like you need that stress ball....

@taylorviktorya Oh yes I do need that! This is too much stress to handle.

@samsepiol looks like others agreed. Hope you get your stress ball soon 😄
