Oh, so you prefer the easy tasks then! Noted. (Embedded sarcasm defined: Try going from D to C#! A very much harder, end of the chapter excercise). > Aside from a small number of language features, a large number of > libraries and a significant amount of freedom w.r.t. formatting, the > darn thing worked! Well, don't make it out to be an accomplishment of the "harder" end-of-chapter excercises when it is actually in the easy section. > (Debugging it was "fun", as in running diffs of million+ line execution > traces. But then I'm crazy enough to do that!) Your need for "praise" and whatever, noted. I can't help you with that (not that I don't want to or that your need isn't an indicator of something wrong). > Up shot is that for some applications, those languages aren't really > that different. That's really good. You're well on your way to completing the coursework. Gold star. Keep up the good work.
