Message: <blockquote data-quote="Relique du Madde" data-source="post: 5857367" data-attributes="member: 42169">Programming is easy... the fact retention is hard.  The test was more about the history of java, knowing java;s syntax, it's grammar, being able to read code and saying what it does, and guessing the intent of the teacher's questions.** He had several logic errors in both the questions and  answers to several questions.  So it was hard to tell if the typos/error were intentional, or if they were not.  The difference often resulted in either a "none of the above" or a random answer which didn't make sense.  For example:In a for loop question we had to evaluate what the output would be after the code was ran:  [code]int a = 3;int b = 0;int d = 0;for( int i = 0; i < 4; i++){d = a * b * i;}out.print(d);[/code]Problem with the question was that none of the choices was 0 or "none of the above." Several of the answers treated the b as being initialized to 1 or treated the statemennt in the loop's block as being[code]d = a * b + i;[/code]and then ran the loop a varying number of times depending on how you correctly or incorrectly intrepreted loop's condition.After all was said and done, I ended up with a 84% on both parts of the midterm and 97% so far in the class. W00T!  At leat I could now goof off aliittle without worrying about midterms (the rest of the courses I'm taking are holding them off until after spring break because the teachers are evil). -Sent via Tapatalk</blockquote>
