did you guys ever think that there was no answer? like if it was kinda rhetorical and how u back up your answer and repair the "error" that you discovered that counts?

what about the argument count mismatch in the subroutines? the algorithm had parameters that were outputs which doesnt happen in subroutines, unless its a function then has one output only.

of course we should study them. it just bugs me that they are saying that "logical languages are very useful in creating expert systems that are used in blah blah blah" and treating them like its one of the most relevent paradigms around, and is used in all kinds of ways. it isnt. Its a...

the only one that has real practical work is VET IT. its basically all practical

SamD if OO languages have been around only a few years, and every body uses them... and logic languages have been around for thirty, and nobody uses them... doesnt that just further my point? And i'm not saying logic languages won't be useful in a few years. They may be useful tomorrow. I...

-X-... you're out of your league. So now your saying you know more than the people who made the vacuum? i dont remember saying that. i do remember saying that youre wrong. And yes, if japan has a radically different way of coding and we dont, why would we learn it? we arent in japan...

holy shit! someone who actually knows something about software! :) thank christ.

-X- .... ten to one... no... 500 to one that that stupid vacuum cleaner doesnt use fuzzy logic. it uses a fricken hardware chip and a bullshit database. i'll write you an algorithm in psuedocode now BEGIN MAINPROGRAM VACUUMCLEANER if dust > 10 then power = power - 1 roomlist(dust) = power...

STABSTABSTAB "someone who thinks they are always rights", "trying to tell us you are always right." - i dont know what hurts me more, the bad grammar or the accusations of being a smartass "What makes you so special? nothing." - I'm not special? i guess i'll never be one of the "special"...

true, i see ur point. a lot of it does have some relevence (ie development approaches). but in terms of generating good coders, the only way is to chuck the little fellers in the deep end and start writing. nice to see one person who agrees with my crazy sdd ideas

-X- .. plank made significant contributions to physics, he is an important figure and made many important discoveries. in acknowledging what he did, we learn about his postulates. it's not crap. fuzzy logic in appliances? uh, maybe. have you seen one? (no i'm not talking about in the sims)

If you were right that would mean programming paradigms wouldn't exist. And obviously they DO EXIST. - uh yeah, i've said that too from the start. read carefully. also, note this, there IS a logic paradigm! it EXISTS! i am arguing that it is not used in the software development world for...

yeah i guess. but dont u get a feeling of satisfaction when u get a really hard algorithm out, and you know it works 100% and is tight as hell? plus its more constructive than couging up answers. and once u get the method downpat, you can't fail. easy marks.

ur all telling me this, seems they have "taught" u well. but you can't show me. show me ONE doctors office that has a specially made expert system. ONE!!! most i have seen have a visual basic interface to some lame access database. somewhat declarative, yes, "inference engine?", "fuzzy logic?"...

forsure... see any real programmer. ask if they learnt to program by quoting social and ethical issues. they will laugh at you

ok, most of your paragraphs need a reply (and also a grammar check)... "And neither what you are saying means it's true." - What? "This software design, if you didn't know, all these things covered in the syllabus actually contribute to it." - I just said that its not.. I want someone to...

the exam should be ALL algorithms. and there should be a few major projects instead of one. yeah, you heard me.

alright... Glide, i respect your skills in coughing up syllabus... but im after an *actual* application. and also, yes because it is unpopular : it is useless. If it was useful, we'd be seeing "microsoft prolog" on the shelves and coders around the world would be knocking up dandy inference...

-X- in a word... no. i have never seen a piece of source code for a game/cool shit system that uses a logic language. i strongly doubt there are any. it just doesnt happen. "AI" in computer games are competly imperative : "if the player does this, do this", "if the player does that, do...

alright, lets go out on a limb here... i am a programmer, i have a lot of experience with imperative and object oriented languages, and a little bit of functional languages (just emacs lisp, SQL etc)... im doing the evolution of programming languages topic, and i'm forced to digest a heap of...
