Narrowing Down

I said in my last post that I am pretty much confused as to what I should do, and lazy enough to not do what I finally decide upon. However I am already in my sixth semester at college, and companies will start coming for offering us jobs right from the beginning of the seventh semester, and I do not know even a bit about my subject!!

So, this semester all I am going to do is study computer science and write programs (interesting ones, hopefully). And this will reflect in this blog too. Most of the articles will probably contain technical (read boring) stuff. But there will be a cautionary warning at every tech article’s beginning, so you need not worry!!

Warning: Technical Stuff Ahead

My results for the fifth semester are out and I am one of the last twenty students in the class (and this is not because I was working on some personal project that took all my time). Our results are not published in a list with everyone else’s result on the same sheet, but through a web portal on which you have to enter your registration number and semester to see your result. Though anyone can see anyone’s result, you will have to enter 87 registration numbers, write down everyone’s GPA on paper and then sort to know your rank in the class. So, just to feel good, I wrote a program that pulls out the GPAs of everyone in my class and sorts them so everyone can know their rank.

How I did this is the story for the next post.
