Programmers: Need a good example of a doubly linked list (C++)

[Arainach]

If you expected to have Friday nights open, especially this close to finals, you're in the wrong major.

um... I go to a school on trimesters. We have midterms next week.

Umm, I think from reading her other posts it's pretty easy to tell she's working pretty hard and doesn't mind it to boot. I'd also venture to say she realizes engineering school is pretty difficult (as most of us who are in it, already know) so you can probably drop the elitist engineer attitude. It really doesn't add anything.

Wish I could help but I got out of CE a couple years ago to pursue a different engineering field. Best of luck, however!

Yeah,

I am at the enginering schooll with the largest amount of females and the largest percentage of females in the country....and yet...I am the ONLY female in the Computer Engineering field. How does this happen... I don't know. I am honestly a little sick of every one of my teachers knowing everything about me before I ever step into the classroom.

I am actually able to make friends with the profs who are sexest. You just need to make them laugh, really hard. That is my job in all of my classes, I am the funny one who makes class bearable. I make fun of the teacher, and he tries back - unsuccessfully usually. He laughs, everyone laughs and we are refreshed enough to pay attention and get our work done. On ocassion, I also bring snacks for my smaller classes.

You can be amazed by how much someone likes you when you bring them cookies. I also dress very nice day to day when most of my collegues are in sweatpants.

I have only had one professor who hated women and me. He gave me a C- after I was one of two/three people who showed up to class (out of 30) and had A's/B's on everything. I would have had to not taken the final to get such a poor grade. He wouldn't let me see my final and the dean just told me to take it because he said that he probably already threw away my final anyway and it wouldn't hurt me in the end. Well, I grew from it and whenever someone sees my transcript, they get a story!

Honestly, if I could see myself doing anything else - I would have swicthed a long time ago.

BTW: I am in my junior year and only have one more required class to finish in my senior year. The rest are electives. Although, the one required class is Operating Systems.... I hope not to die in this class as it is the hardest course offered by my university.

Sorority -> keeps me very social and sane
Friends -> in the same boat (engineers); keeps me sane
Head-fi/Music ->Adds to thoughts and keeps me sane.

Getting code from others because you don't have the time, or fortitude, or temperment, or _______ to suck-it-up is no excuse. The learning one should get will not take place. If one has a paper to write, you don't ask for example papers. You write the paper, then seek guidance. I agree, there is nothing wrong asking for help. Just don't expect the answers to be handed on a silver platter.

I think that is a much better line to take than your original response.

My response wasn't thread crapping. It was inferring that your original response wasn't helpful. And, I wasn't the only one who called you on it.

Just because you're a software engineer with a High Honors CS degree, you don't own the rights to 'telling us how it is'. If you don't want to help - don't post.

As over-the-top as the last bit is, I am pleased that the earlier part of your post clarified your position on helping others.

The OP wanted some help, and you have now laid the ground-rules that you will apply for providing some guidance. I think that's far more helpful.

For the record, I actually agree with your revised position; giving people the answer doesn't help them or the workforce - guiding them to find their own answer is a much greater contribution.

All that carefully written rhetoric, and for what?

You can repeat yourself until your blue in the face but it won't change the fact that your premise is false.

I'm moving on; however, I'd bet money that you will not do the same. Have fun talking to yourself.

Sorry to the OP for the distraction.
