Just use while loops, you fucking newfag.

They're called conditionals, and they're not required.

Me again, here are some while-loop pseudo-conditionals.

#include "stdio.h"
main(void) {
    int x=1;while(x<101) {
        while (x%3==0) {
             printf("Fizz"); break;
        }
        while (x%5==0) {
            printf("Buzz"); break;
        }
        while (x%3 && x%5) {
            printf("%d", x); break;
        }
        printf("\n");
    x++;}
}

Dude this board has like two posts a week and five active users I saw your post only because I'm subscribed to the board's rss.

Besides what do you want us to tell you? Practice more. Don't be an autist. Work out the things you need to do in your head and then write the code.

Writing a program is like traveling to a destination. You decide where you want to go, you decide how you want to get there and then you depart.

Yo, OP, I used to have this exact problem. I knew all the syntax, general rules, etc., but I just could not write anything down. The way I fixed it was that I kept looking at better programmer's code, copied it down word-by-word (don't copy and paste), and then compiled it.

Now you're thinking "but that won't work, I'm not creatively thinking if I do that". While it's true that you won't be thinking creatively, it will make you "get" how their code works intricately. It forces your brain to look at the code closely line by line, rather than trying to read it like a normal book.

Once you do this long enough, you will start predicting what needs to be written next without looking at their code. Keep going, and you'll start noticing ways you could have written it to suit your own preferences. Then, you will actually start thinking like a programmer, and be able to come up with original code.

is a geekcode generator that hard?

>>3874

Those "programming challenge" lists have nonsensical variations in difficulty, see >>3359

>>3381

Is there any good source of common concepts you should know? This approach feels true, but a noob don't really know what you should know. At the moment I'm stuck reading programming concept articles at wikipedia haphazardly. A list of concepts in a natural order for good understanding would do many beginners great I think, and I've never found anything when searching for it.

>>3999

Books on programming for beginners almost always cover those concepts. Basically pick whatever book is recommended for the language of your choice and it will have every critical concept in the beginning because otherwise it's impossible to progress otherwise.

I kind of get where the pseudocode guy comes from, but personally I think it's much harder to start without an actual language when you can get syntax verification and interpretation.

I'm assuming you know basic stuff like arrays that you would have hopefully learned with javascript. If you don't then fucking learn the basics first then come back.

// (1): Defines (but doesn't create) a grouping of variables called POINT 
//      Models the x and y coordinates of a single point. 
typedef struct

// (2): Creates 2 POINTs and an Array of POINTS:
//      c: For holding centroid (or center of mass) point coordinates
//      o: For holding a reference point to create triangles from 
//      p: For holding the points the user puts into the program
POINT c, o, p[10000];

// (3): Creates 2 double-precision floating point number variables:
//      a: For holding the accumulations of the areas of the triangles used to 
//         calculate area (basically builds shape out of triangles).
//      q: Holds calculated distance from point to centroid
double a, q=0.0;

// (4): Integer variable for holding  number of points the current shape has

    while (scanf("%d", &n) > 0) // (7): Loops and gets user input in integer form, 
    {                                          //        which is placed into memory address of n.

I wonder who would be most insulted by the company?

Truthfully rust is actually much nicer than C for systems programming because of the ability to inline assembly in a way that won't make everything explode. Because you can warn the compiler what register's you're using and it then won't make any assumptions about them, which in C requires using naked functions or black magic.

MFW

http://www.w3schools.com/html/

Start from here, then continue to CSS, Javascript, dabble a bit in PHP (every web designer has to know how to use it, even though the language is garbage), then learn Python w/ Django.

I think the most important thing you need is experience.

I did the w3scools tutorial on javascript, but that by itself isn't enough. I still struggled writing something basic such as counting all the images in a thread.

Maybe build a custom homepage for yourself and fiddle with it?

I actually created my own hidden board to fuck around with the css and vent like a bitch.

Life hasn't happened to you yet son. You've only had hair on your balls for 4 years.

You're starting younger than most who are employed to program professionally. The stuff that kids program is garbage and your frontal cortex isn't fully formed until after the age of 25. This isn't like learning a spoken language. It's logical syntaxical expression.

The plebs propagating the child programmer myths also thought we'd be driving flying cars by now, so start learning and stop asking.

The worst thing you'll develop is a new skill.

>>3969

That dude just turned 40, though. Happy birthday, f2862b!

Anyway, this is mostly true. You have to bear in mind however that university hacker culture trickled down to computer-savvy kids as early as the 70's (Bill Gates and RMS - they both started young.) Even Zuckerjew had a headstart on coding.

The younger the better, and OP you are a freaking kid. You haven't lived even 2 decades.

Get out there and write some software, boy-o.

>>3920

yes, but not by asking stupid questions on the internet.

Nano is extremely simple to use and I've done much better programming with it than both Vim and Emacs.

It's better than Emacs and Vim combined, especially because both of those are bloated to all hell, have no real useful purpose aside from purposely making the software overly complicated to use.

I want to be out of a text editor within a second of making the decision. Same goes for saving the file.

This isn't really a necessity, just preference, but from me, comparing Vim to Nano, Nano gets a plus for highlighted code.

Explain why either Vim or Emacs is any good, or at least how they aren't the cancer of text editors, which should be extremely simple tools, not wannabe far overcomplicated IDEs.

>>3902

i can only speak for vim. and i'm not sure we're talking about the same nano.

leaving the editor and saving a file in vim is one combined command - ZZ - or if you want to just exit ZQ. you can easily map a save key in your .vimrc; for example, i have \-s mapped to save so i don't have to :w<CR> everytime i want to save. vim also does highlight code without addons, so the features you mentioned are there and then some.

i understand you don't want a wannabe IDE but rather a simple text editor, and vim imho can be just that. granted, you have a small learning curve at the beginning, but if you're serious about editing text, vim will quickly feel much more natural and the commands are actually quite mnemonic. c for cut, cw for cut (to the next) word, ciw for cut inner word (cut the word under the cursor, p for paste, and so on. moving around, once you're used to, will also feel more natural than before - you don't have to take your hands off the normal position on the keyboard, looking for the arrow keys or the mouse to jump to a line and a lot of the time you can move around and edit at the same time. i haven't even started talking about the ease of scripting from within the editor - just press q and another button, it starts recording until you press q again, then execute what you recorded by simply doing @<button> which of course can be prefixed by the number of times you want it to happen - or using marks.

all in all, vim aims to enable you to interact with your file rather than just edit it. i have vim bloated to the maxxx with 20 plugins, enabling me to write code and latex like someone using textmate or sublime would, amazing autocompletion provided by clang for c/c++, python by python, rust by racer, ruby and java by eclipse (through eclim), file explorer, method explorer and the like.

to me, vim is the only tool i ever need to edit text files, be it config files or refactoring code in big projects. this way i only need to learn one tool and benefit from this whenever i edit, which i do a lot. and the performance is still very good, although i admittedly dPost too long.

vim, but I use it like vi with syntax highlighting.

>text editor using a webpage rendering toolkit

Is this somehow less bad than a text editor OS?

>>2694

Integrated gdb doesn't sound too bad, but ultimately you can just use tmux/screen to accomplish the same stuff without fattening up your editor.

Does Stallman still code? B-)

The problem with him is not that he's autist. It's that he thinks that the whole world should live according to his impossible standards. Case in point: For years he lived on MIT, rent-free. That maladjusted him into thinking that everything is for freedomz, or something.
