Proud Dad!


I was just shutting down my 12yr old daughters computer. I found Visual Basic running. She has programed a working random number generator.
Sure she copied most of the code from the help screens. But she created the form, has a working text box, a lable displaying the results with a command button to generate a numer. All on her own.
Her first program! So cool....
What more could a old nerd ask for?

Awww... I was disappointed at first that you didn't have a new baby, but this rocks too.

Happy First Random Number Generator (as far as your father knows ), Fally, a.k.a. Partial Derivative!

Awww, next thing you know you'll be hearing the pitter-patter of a finite element analysis program running around the house.

They grow up so fast! *sniff*

To throw away visual basic and start programming in C?

Hmm

Tell her to make a program which lists the first 500 prime numbers in the fastest way possible. It's really easy but might be fun for her

Unfortunately, this was really a streaming list of purchases being applied to Integral's credit card.

Lots more Integral. But good for you as I'm sure she loves you very much. Suppose though you might want to know what I mean by lots more: making it though adolesence relatively unharmed. Don't wish to be critical just reviving Ophelia that's all.
