Exam Bitching (1 Viewer)

[tonberry_kun]

man the higher computing kids were complaining because they got questions such as the busses.. and most didnt know about precedence , not even stuff like *blah++. Also, I figured out what static means in the exam, by making a wild guess :/

As for penalising, i really hope they don't do that too, since other than buses, i actually wrote some shakespearean whinging in it

hehe static, don't u guys learn that in like the 3rd or 4th week?

i had trouble doing the conversion to binary... not because i couldn't but i kept screwing up the quotient cuz i cant divide by 2
damn stupid brain... i need a calculator

We only got really brief mention about it. Most of us already know it based on past experience, but the extent which it was tested was just gross. Not me who suffers, but those who concentrated more on actually programming than learning some obscure C syntax.

And yeah, about static, for me that was guessing between "variable not available for export" and "able to be preserved between function calls". I chose the latter, and I guess I was right

What was the answer for strings? "very-confusing" , "vr-ofsnnfusing" ?

 

[tonberry_kun]

static is preserved across function calls? (wait what does that mean? )
i thought it was variable not available for export?

 

[sunny]

Consider this:

void x() {
  int x = 0;
  printf("%d\n", x++);
}

int main(int argc, char* argv) {
  x();
  x();
  x();
}

You will get 0, 0 and 0 since variable x is destoryed once the function finishes.

This however...

void x() {
  static x = 0;
  printf("%d\n", x++);
}

Will get you 0, 1 and 2. The variable x is not destoryed after the function finished - ie, it is preserved across function calls.

Phew, right guess. Thanks sunny

anyways, that linked list question with static bit on, I got the same answer as this other guy who's an absolute C genius, it was:

43322110
433220
4220

Damn. Thinking about it that whole exam for me was a complete fluke. That red bull I bought in the morning must have been really worth it

 

[tonberry_kun]

ahhh crappo... not feelin so confident now

 

[Minai]

OMG! I think I just failed Accounting 2B today - EVERYBODY was saying it was the worst exam they've ever done - christ, doing this subject again is not a favourable course of action

 

[Newbie]

my tutor said 2B is a nightmare

 

[Minai]

my tutor said 2B is a nightmare

hell yeah, its apparently the worst accounting subject in the accounting major

here's to hoping I get at least 45 in that final to get Pass conceeded

 

[hbk_ace]

ahha 1b

question 2 cash flow i could figure ot a 450 000 difference in one of my t accounts

so i created one called "I DONT KNOW I JUST STUFFE MY TEST"
credit it and then debited an expense called "EXAM MARK WRITTEN OFF"

question 5 or something. name a strategy to use on a low budget air line competitor called Airtramp.
i wrote


Crush and Distroy. use low cost tactic to seduce back the customers from the tramp, when their finances are in ruins have a hostile take over which gives us a monopolised market leading to higher future profit. this strategy is endorsed by Sun tzu

 

[Exeter]

lol
for my first questoin for the michael chaney one i wrote the 2 things
then said
**RETIRED HUSBAND IS LIKE WET LEAF, HARD TO SWEEP OUT OF HOUSE**

Hope everything will be ok for you Minai. I remember reading you're on a distinciton average atm?

If it helps, the thought of putting marks against a bell curve might make you feel better as I know they do that for a few of my science subjects but I am unsure about commerce subs.

 

[lawforever]

1B, I have no idea of what the control measures are in question 5.

dun think i can get HD for it .....

do they scale mark in accounting ?

 

[Newbie]

i had to bullshit my cashflow a bit
well if you call 200000 a bit

 

[babydoll_]

I GOT 5/5 IN MY PRESENTATION FOR GENETICS

sucks to the fobs who can't understand english and went OT

GO ME

 

[McLake]

Damn computing. Wtf are busses?

What was the question??

 

[tonberry_kun]

something about describing two buses in the CPU with diagrams and all that
