    Is it important to enjoy the process of doing physics?

    There is sometimes a certain satisfaction in having understood and solved a tough problem successfully, as there is with accomplishing any difficult task. However, I don't think I would like to sit with tough problems for hours just for the pure pleasure of it or as a hobby.

    Is it important to enjoy the process of doing physics?

    Thank you all for your replies I'm sorry, but I think I didn't phrase my question very well. I wouldn't be expecting amazing results. I know how rare that is. What I would tolerate the work for would be just a sense of being part of a great collective endeavor. But, I suppose that isn't a...

    Is it important to enjoy the process of doing physics?

    Apologies if this has been asked before but I couldn't find any posts with the exact question. I'm about to go to college but I haven't decided my major yet. I have loved physics, particularly astronomy, ever since I was a child. I used to read a lot of astronomy books when I was younger...

    Comp Sci How Does This C++ Program Reverse Individual Words in a String?

    I know using gets( ) causes the program to crash since it does not let you specify a limit on how many characters are to be read But why is using getch( ) bad?

    Comp Sci How Does This C++ Program Reverse Individual Words in a String?

    Yeah, it is for(i=0 ; str[i] != '/0' ; i++) Sorry that was a typo on my part. I do, however, agree that it is an extremely bad book. I use other books for concepts but I can't really help it when it comes to writing programs cause this book is provided by my education system.

    Comp Sci Difference between cout and cout.write in C++

    What's the purpose of cout.write. Isn't it pretty much the same thing as cout? For eg, the following code would work the same with cout and cout.write int main( ) { char string[80] ; cout<<"Enter string\n" ; cin.getline(string, 80) ; int x1 = strlen(string) ; for(int i = 0...
