So recently I was thrust into the world of Computer Science classes for the first time ever... Cool. I had to create a command box program of Battleships in a programming language I had never learnt before, that being C#. I have only ever learnt Lua, so naturally I had no idea what I was doing. What the heck was a public static void class??? Is it a function? If so, why isn't it just called function...
Also, in what I'm sure is the most common gripe with C# is the semi. Colons. What the heck was wrong with the devs when they decided to introduce a bunch of redundant characters?? Like, if I wanted to end a line, there's already a character for that... It's called a break charachter... You know, the one that creates a new line! Why not use that one instead of introducing the ; for absolutely no reason whatsoever!!
Additionally, why do variables have to manually be assigned types... Int, string, char, float or whatever... Like hear me out, why can't you just set a variable and the computer reads what it is... and sets it for you?!
Finally, what the heck is wrong with strings?? In C# here's a piece of code I got from the internet to convert an integer (num) to a string (s), you would...
using System;
class MyApplication {
static void Main(string[] args) {
String s;
int num = 299;
s = num.ToString();
Console.WriteLine("String = "+s);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}What the heck?!? Why is it so long?!? Who decided that this was a good idea???
In Lua however, it's
local num = 299
local S = tostring(num)
print (S)which does the exact same thing.
I just don't get why people would ever use the C# language. It's so overly complex, and for my eyes it gives absolutely zero gain.
