What material > were you using to learn from ? Honestly, I don't recall the "exact" issues I had with it (it's been ~10 years now). But, as it turns out, right on top of the pile of "these might come in handy" programming books was an old course guide. Prereq for the (sophomore fall) C class was the previous year's Java classes, or a different set of 100-level courses, that are unfortunately not in the book. I can only assume then that the move to Java for Freshmen-level CS courses replaced other possibly C courses. I'm gonna assume my issues were mainly due to trying to switch gears from Java / Object Oriented to C / Procedural programming, and it not going smoothly at that time. No C books though - must've sold them to a friend or something :(. Ah well, Amazon is pretty quick on shipping. -- |_|O|_| Registered Linux user #585947 |_|_|O| Github: https://github.com/dpurgert |O|O|O| PGP: 05CA 9A50 3F2E 1335 4DC5 4AEE 8E11 DDF3 1279 A281
