    Angry

    my professor gave us a program to make, but didnt explain very much. i had so many errors! i finally got him to come help me, and he told me i was breaking a bunch of rules that he hadnt even gone over yet. i finally got the damn thing to run, but there were still errors somewhere, and i have no idea how to fix it before i go back to class. i have to turn in the .rpt file, but i cant get one until it runs without errors. i have only been to one class! how can i be expected to know what to do? i think i will change my major to computer science.....

    Just remember...you have to take up to Calculus 4 for Computer Science...I am in Calculus 2 and let me tell you, it is by far the worst class ever!

    May I lay this issue to rest. You only need to take up to Cal 2 for a computer science major. however, if you want a math minor, which is what i am doing, you must take up through cal 4. I am afraid my dear gnosis_within, that if you are struggling with cobol, computer science is not your forte. i must ask though. what the hell is a .rpt file? i have heard of everything from .c files to .ccp, .exe, .jpg, .bmp, etc etc etc. but never in all my years of computing have i ever heard of a .rpt file. i do realize that different compilers use differenent extension, so i must ask what compiler you use as well. i do not remember what i used, or i would be more than happy to provide that information. as for now, i must go. i will be more than happy to provide as much help with any computing question, simply ask.

    i just thought i'd take this time to say 'hello' to gravy...
    glad you came by. i've missed ya.

    i think that gnosis checked and only has to take up to cal. 1 for this major. and i also think that he doesn't have to claim a minor in that field. i dunno. UCA is weird like that.

    well, i shant interfere any more. just wanted to say hi to gravy.

    I was a computer science major for about 2 years, before I decided it sucked smile
    so now once more i'm a freelancer. smile
    YAY...
    Now i'm back to Law I think or Psychology.
    Perhaps communications, so many options, i'll be in school forever.

    But whatever you choose to do, know your gonna have to really give to get there.

    Unhappy

    i will use the words of my professor to tell you what a .rpt file is.

    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Bradley Hand ITC, Tahoma, Lucinda Console">quote:</font><HR> image you are in front of computer at night when everyone else is at home sleeping. you make program and it runs. the next day the boss comes in and wants to see what you did. they look at a program and do not understand. the .rpt file gives them a report of what program did so they know you were doing work when they sleep<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

    he is russian, so the english isnt perfect.

    i still cant get that piece of shit program to run correctly! it is just one part that is messing up, and i have no idea how to fix it.
