    Dang, I was hoping I wasn't such a nerd.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,039 ✭✭✭rmacm


    83% for myself aswell....oh well I guess that proves my nerdishness.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,277 ✭✭✭✭Rb


    42% and I know nothing.
    58% when I retook it and realised I hadn't seen Java as one of the options for a question.

    However, I still know nothing. I presume LOLcode isn't real?

    Edit: Looks like it is.

    I got 67%, I was able to recognise Java, BASIC, C, ASP, Binary, HTML, Fortran and Perl(I would have recognised PHP also, only Perl was one of the options too, the syntaxes look similar and I only have experience with Perl).

    I only have some C, python, and bash shell knowledge(so handy:D), so the
    syntax of the new fangled ones like ASP currently escape me :/

    How's this for weird: I got the Fortran question right, but the HTML one wrong (I put in XML, as I didn't know HTML had an <address> tag :pac:)...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,158 ✭✭✭donmeister

    58%, I only know Java, PHP, SQL and XHTML so I think I did quite respectably. Made an educated guess at the the XML one. The HTML one nearly caught me - I thought line breaks in HTML were just <br> so <br/> would be DHTML.. apparently not :o

    edit: Strangely enough I also got 58% in my last three programming assignments and exams. PL\SQL is a bitch when you don't study.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,584 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    lol i agree with ya on PL/SQL just doesn't want to sink in at all.

    The only reason I passed the exam at all was because we were allowed bring our lab manuals in with us. Scarleh.
