    Oh! I forgot to say here what i did on my compsci exam! We had to program something in VB, (i hate VB, but anyway) and i managed to make an (unnessary and unasked for) error checking subroutine called "ghostbusters". I also had a boolean variable called "booSomethingStrange" that was set to true whenever an error was detected. I then had the awesome statement: "If booSomethingStrange = True then / Call Ghostbusters / End If". #

      @techdisk42 What the heck kind of stupid CS class uses VB. You guys should be at least using Java.

          @crusader8 Java as in "that thing phone apps are written in" and "that thing minecrap was written in" and "that thing I somewhat know how to code in".

          @techdisk42 If you were in the US, I would say "take AP." APCS over here is forced into using Java, since the exam is written in it.

        @derps Just know that i basically snuck the phrase "if something strange is true, call Ghostbusters" into my final exam.

      @thatonepony Apparently my school thinks its being used. I know my teacher doesnt, HE even knows VB is a joke. But he must teach it because thats the curriculim. Whats worse is that in grade 10 we learn Java. Then we SWITCH to vb in 11. It makes no sense.

      @thatonepony Dunno. The only good thing i see is it let me "call ghostbusters"... And thats not really a reason to use it.

        @techdisk42 But Java lets you call Ghostbusters from Tcl code. http://tcljava.sourceforge.net/docs/TclJava/JavaCallCmd.html

          @redenchilada See? Even calling ghostbusters in VB is trumped by Java.

      @thatonepony Hm. Maybe. I see it as easier, actually. Alot easier. Think about coding a form to display in java. Now think about doing the same in VB. Oh wait, VB does it for you. -_- way too easy.

      @thatonepony Yep. Never saying VB was any better. But i see your point.
