Destroyed 60-212

60-212, Java, does thusly take mine boot in its arse.

Project is done, exam is done. Now we’re just waiting for the marks. I must say, I dislike being forced, for the sake of examination, to think up fanciful error cases just to demonstrate try-catch.

I was rather concerned about about missing elements of answering on question 2a. The number of marks (10), and the number of bugs (2) that I squished did not line up much. Especially since one of those was a missing semicolon, and I doubted that 5% of the exam was wrapped up in a single character of punctuation. After some 30 minutes of head-scratching and doodling, I noticed that the var.length reference was missing its (parenthesis). With a quick controlled curve of the pen, the disgrace came complete.

Damn, it’s good to be out of there. I need to get back into coding that requires REST applications, embedded-assembly-style DIY memory management, and native ~regexs.
