I'm now having bad flashbacks to my 3rd year code optimization course. That course was a complete bitch and I passed it by only 5% or so, but I think it was one of the most important courses I took in CS.Mad wrote:puts() is faster because it doesn't have to do string parsing.Drooling Iguana wrote:Why use puts() instead of printf()?
What kind of programmers are schools creating today?

Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either.

And when you're printing a 6-character string, you need all the speed you can get.Mad wrote:puts() is faster because it doesn't have to do string parsing.Drooling Iguana wrote:Why use puts() instead of printf()?

At Toledo, most of our CSE stuff is C++, and the Java classes are still listed as high level technical electives. I'm an EE, so I haven't had any major C++ stuff since freshman year, but at that point they weren't using VisualStudio either. I've heard that the higher level classes are taught using Visual Studio, but I'm not sure what the intro course uses now.
