Is pic related a joke? That's not real is it?

The only requirement for a PhD is obsessive-compulsive disorder. Intelligence helps but isn't absolutely necessary.

When I scored a 99th percentile on the writing section of the gre

>>9250603
>Be a kid
>Respect teachers as smart people
>Get your difficult STEM degree
>Realize that all of your teachers your entire young life up through high school were education majors
>You are probably now actually smarter than them in all areas except in their little area of expertise

The answer is diligence.
Next question please.

N-nani?

>>9250603
When a person starts their statement with:
>I have a PhD.

>Seriously how the fuck do incompetent people get PhDs and become professors?

PhDs don't measure intelligence, it's test of endurance.

>>9250603
Are people lashing out after seeing their midterms this weekend or something?

>>9250834
pretty much. Most of the grad students Ive met (except the FOBs) are bro tier so long as youre not a grade autist

>>9250603
That code makes me want to kill myself

>>9250862
Yeah I know right. Why would anyone use Java?

>>9250603
It's the same thing as when you see how people write in an undergrad writing class. It's amazing how they got there in the first place.

>>9250834
It's pretty much the engineering brainlets who realize they are devoid of any creative thought other than plug n chug formulas they memorize and can't imagine seeing themselves pursuing something as a high-IQ demanding work like their profs have done. Pursuing a phd in the sciences require a lot of work, high intelligence, creativity, and most importantly a passion for science as the return on investment you get as a consequence of being in school for 10 years is 100k in debt, something that engineering brainlets don't have as they are only there for money.

>>9250912
>Java
That's C#.

>>9250640
I know a teacher. She's smart, but in distinctly different ways than what you'd conventionally believe. She's incredibly "attuned" to reading people (kids particularly) and puzzles for her come in the form of personalities.

>>9251083
>engineer
>memorize formulas

Jokes on you buckwheat i use an equation sheet

>>9250603
So what happens if somebody enters a number that exceeds 100?

>>9250912
>>9251091
This is your average java hater from /g/

>>9251097
It prints that your number is odd.

>>9251097
thats the joke

>>9251083
Wow say it without crying

>>9251104
Java is garbage

If you don't C++ template metaprogram you should basically kill yourself cuck

>>9250620
I don't know if it's a joke but I think it's believable. I'm TA'ing a class right now where many students turn in code in the same spirit, and the best part is I'm forbidden to hit their grade for it because I am mandated to grade only for things specified in the rubric. You can't even explain to these faggots the importance of writing a proper program. They just say "it works, right?"

>>9251083
At the end of the day though, smart people will be smart regardless of whether or not they choose to be scientists or engineers. Some people like making things that other people will be able to use some day, so they become engineers, some people prefer pushing the boundaries of human knowledge through research and experimentation, so they become scientists. No need to feel inferior to the engineer just because he gets paid more though, you are happy doing what you love, right?

>>9250620
I made this this summer.

60 with a 15 point extra credit for having no bugs at all.

That kind of coding is real lol

>>9251125
What do you think?

>he thinks modern education is about intelligence
You have learned this but i bet you will still figure out a way to self-delude back to what you were told to believe.

>>9251125
What kind of programming class doesn't take off points for writing bad code? Seriously?

>>9251144
I hope you do

>>9251137
You did not...
If(number%2) console.writeline("odd")
Else console.writeline("even")

Two lines were needed. Just two.

>>9251083
I love hacking/penetration testing
But I want to change the world with biotechnology

Pls advise

>>9251256
How about you use a halfway decent language

printf("%s", (num % 2 == 0) ? "even" : "odd");

>>9251256
Why would you % the entire number when you can just do the last diget

>>9251272
How about you save the processor an equivalence check?
printf("%s", (num % 2) ? "Odd" : "even");

>>9251277
You're right
//Assuming 16 bit number
printf("%s", (num >> 15) ? "Odd" : "even");

This is fun, any other autists want to make it even quicker
>Inb4 assembly or machine code

>>9251292
num & 1

but if you have compiler optimization on all your examples will just get changed to this anyway

>>9251292
printf("%s", (num << 15) ? "Odd" : "even");

Meant to do that, not >>

>>9251295
>Num & 1
Sexy
Is anding faster than shifting though?

int n
if (n % 2 == 0)
Console.Write("lol it's even")
else
Console.Write("lol it's odd")

I haven't even finished learning the basics of programming and can manage this shit

>>9251305
Forgot to put in a readline but it doesn't matter for the purpose of this

>>9250603
I'd be happy if I churned out that much code in a week.

It takes me a week to get 4 lines of shitty java code out these days. And I do this for a living.

>>9251123
>muh identity
>muh language

meaningless

>>9251305
wow congratulations you're a real programming expert dude

>>9250603
>When did you realize that people with PhDs are basically just as retarded as you are?
When I started one
>Seriously how the fuck do incompetent people get PhDs and become professors?
They work hard

>>9250703
I basically shat out whatever came to mind and reread it a few times over, I don't consider myself a particularly good writer but if I scored in the 99th percentile that easily it seriously causes me to ponder the caliber of person taking the gre these days hoping to enter graduate school.

>>9251123
lol C++ is shiiittt

>>9251148
I want to believe that.

>>9250603
>tfw PhD and don't have a clue what's wrong with your pic related
I'm not good at computers.

>>9251514
That's because you are retarded. Any somewhat intelligent person would be able to look at that and understand what's wrong even if they have never programmed before. It's not even an obscure language THERE ARE LITERALLY ENGLISH WORDS RIGHT THERE YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO INFER WHATS GOING ON REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>9251520
>Any somewhat intelligent person would be able to look at that and understand what's wrong even if they have never programmed before. I
You doing a PhD bucko? :^)

>>9251112
>>9251131
haha engineers
You're like fake orgasm of science

>>9251520
>implying look up tables are not the most efficient
Brainlets need to get off of this board lmao

>>9251137
>15 point extra credit for having no bugs at all

>102 comes out odd
>relies on the user obediently entering a whole number

>>9251256
>>9251607
No i wrote the code in the ideone link. I forgot to post the link. I might be a bad coder, but op's pic is attrocious

>>9250603
>Seriously how the fuck do incompetent people get PhDs and become professors?
Because they're competent in their field. Look up any of your profs and odds are high they graduated cum laude and all that shit and did solid research. Being competent at teaching is another thing entirely however and some just suck balls at it sadly.

>>9251466
You're an idiot and you are clearly not a software engineer.

There is nothing shit about C++

>>9251790
Oh, that's what I get for not reading the thread carefully.

>>9250603
only retards and geniuses get phds

>>9251137
Same here, i have a programming elective where we do have to submit a group assignment which consists of programming a tic tac toe like game with computer opponent.

One of our group members completed the whole assignment before we even met up the first time and insists that we use it...

Its literally just a script with concatenated while loops. No functions, no exeptions, crashes all the time when invalid inputs are entered. Literally not thought through at all.
It seems like he just programms along and try to think of every possible move and then tries to catch it with an if/else statement.

Its literally 2000 lines long. Tried to do the same, only needed 400 lines. Less bugs. I am not even a sophisticated programmer.

>Tfw to shy to try to convince my group to use my solution...

>>9251954
>only needed 400 lines
I know basic matlab and I imagine it'd be easy to do it in half or less, assuming no fancy gui. Just put a 3x3 matrix of zeros and let each player pick an entry to input +1 and -1 respectively, do a winner check in a separate function after every turn and voila, done.

>>9250628
Explain please. I have OCD and really hate this fucking shit.

>>9251954
If he insists no one work on the project and use his shitty code, shun him out of the group.

>>9251139
The code is too mechanical. You could easily write like 8 passby functions and shorten that code by 1200 lines.

>>9250603
I don't know the only profs that didn't seem to eclipse my IQ by standard deviations were my english profs for my academic writing and my bio profs. Chem/physics/math profs seemed way out of my league

>>9251443
they are chinamen they dont speak english bro

>>9251466
Senior CS major here. I actually like C++, it's much more straight forward.

The reason Java exists is to prevent street shitters from crashing everything with pointers like they would in C++.

In Java, the reason you hide all your variables within classes is to keep the poos from touching them.

>>9250640
Sorry you had bad high school teachers.

>>9250603
You know a person with a PhD is just someone who's really knowledgeable about one topic?

>>9251125
>They just say "it works, right?"
>"it works, right?"
I feel anger.

>>9251137
Because just testing the least significant bit and returning odd if true, even if false, wouldn't be an adequate solution.

C code:
size_t num = literally_any_integer; // your cpu registers can hold
printf("Your number is %s", num & 1 ? "odd" : "even");

>>9252833
https://ideone.com/c697Lt

I wrote this. It might be trash, but its a hell of a lot better than OP's meme

>>9252865
I'll go through it later. I'm not the grandest programmer myself, but I might have some worthwhile commentary.

When my professor said that he never had heard of the word "partook". He's a native English speaker btw.

>>9250603
There are dumb people at every level of education. In general PhDs are way fucking smarter than undergrads

>>9251305
>he missed the joke
It shows that you'rr only beginner.

>>9250603
when I got a job. everyone is retarded, it's amazing companies even stay alive as long as they do. I guess the 80/20 rule is true

>>9253240
Can confirm this is true. I can't believe how many companies are filled with idiots.
