Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
That's right mods, all caps! : whimpers when teh first mod comes by and mods the topic subject: Either way, moving on. First things first, it looks like I'll have my first full time programming job in PHP making over 40k a year. If that doesn't seem like a lot google cost of living in Troy, AL and then remember I'm only 20 without a degree. (heh. In troy I can get a two story house with like 5 bed rooms and three baths for a 100k..Insane) Moving on.. I've also taken two C++ courses at my university, with the second class being called Advanced c++ and they never taught me recursion..I just stumbled upon an article on it and I kicked myself for never thinking of it before...very logical it is... Either way..Ijust thought I'd give good news adn sad news in the same breath.
There are some nasty caveats to recursion: mostly involving stack overflow and possible exponential memory consumption. PHP handles recursion pretty well (being that it does limit how deep you can go.) But I still don't recommend it when easily avoided.
Well, if its any consolation to you, when I was your age I got a job making about the same. It took a while (about 8 years) but I am now quite a bit more than that. Still no degree. Keep it up guys. We are taking over the world, one job at a time.
