The main gist of the homework was to work with a stack, using push, pop, etc. I wound up using a fair amount of string manipulation and character arrays to extract what I needed [sad]. Like I said, certainly not the most elegant solution, but it works, and I can't complain about working code! Oh, by the way, the strtok() function is very handy for breaking things up based on defined delimiters[smile].
Haven't had much of a chance to work on Reversi, and that sucks.
I do have a question for those more knowledgeable than me. For those of you who have coding jobs, how much emphasis is placed on working code vs. elegant and clean code? I've been sort of worrying about this lately. I can produce working code, but more often than not it's not very elegant, but it gets the job done. I'd very much like some input on this. I know that the ideal situation is nice, clean, elegant code that works.
I've been coding for quite a while now, just recently started college and have become increasingly aware of my coding. Prior to college, basically 0 people ever saw my code besides me, so in this more teamlike environment where we sometimes code up solutions in small groups, i've become sort of self conscious. How could I go about writing better and cleaner code? Any exercises you would recommend?
