Weird. Very Weird.
You're converting an Int32 to a string which becomes an Int16 and that gets promoted to an Int32?

It's slow...
it chews memory like a beast....
it boosts productivity like a monkey eating a dog.........

Amen to that! Sadly Birmingham Uni still insists on teaching it though!?!

At NJIT they teach java now.
Luckily, when i had to take those programming classes, it was all c++. I have reason to be happy actually... it allowed me to more or less understand the class-less C language... which, when i got to my microprocessor class where we did alot of 68k assemebly... that i was able to see the logical connection from which the C language is derived... because Assembly is just a lower level obvioussly-class-less C where you program with just functions, ...well they call em subroutines... but ya...
When i was in high-school i had a class that did both java and c++... it was in that class that my hatred of Java indirectly started... You see we used the free compiler and wrote all our code in notepad. But anyone that ever programmed in c# in visual studio knows... that the Ide is what really makes coding fun... all that intelli-sense and code designer and the form designer and the addins... Ohh the addins! :P... anyways... Debugging in notepad is a bitch... you gotta count the lines... Overall that's why c++ was more fun (cause we had that old visual studio... called vs6 or something... but the debugger was a godsend... double click the error and it goes to the line with the error... wow... and the error messages actually made sense over what devcpp gave you (which i used for my homework at that time... untill i learned about something called kazaa  )
Anyways when i was a sophmore or something i was like... i gotta learn a language that's fun and fast... for personal projects... i was thinking visual basic might be a good idea... i already knew that java was a complete pos that was slow and the forms looked like complete dog crap...well that was visual studio 2003 installed and i saw in the loading screen the icon for J# and C#... well first i thought... well i know some java, maybe i'd give it another try in J#... then i looked at a blank Form project and at the using statements and crap... and was like... ya maybe i'll just use visual basic.net....
And then i tried c#... at first i was completely utterly confused mind you... but the syntax i think was just nice... when i create my first object like with the "new" keyword and how all int objects could be easily and painlessly ".ToString"'d... well that was when i was in love :P Wow i still remember the first time i learned of the property syntax... before that i was like... how the hell do you "communicate with a class".... Or when i was writting a silly program to be as a companion to a game called "Raven Shield" that would work with it's .ini file to configure stuff like what gun and name my character had... and somewhere i wrote some painful basic ini serializing code to save a rgb color... ya i wish i knew about the .ToArgb() thing before i spent weeks writing a string parser... ya i was a complete nub but i'm ok now :P
Now i can write custom controls, with nice designers, in c# and i sure wish my computer was modern enough to allow me to play with xaml... and i tell you... java is a completely ugly, ram eating, slow, pos... something that c# isn't which is why i play with it pretty much exclusively. But delving into c++ for the odd thing that that c# can't do... like that game engine i'll make one day :P

Which is why, having been accepted to both, I plan to go to Rensselaer Polytechnic. I've been using C++ since I was ten years old and I don't want to give it up for four years!

For a post piling on Java (which is the best proof yet against my theory that no language is proof against sufficiently determined idiots; cf. "outsourcing"), to use a .sig line with a dead-accurate evaluation of VB just made my morning. (Yes, you can write idiotic code in other languages; you just have to work much harder at it.)

Thank Bill for smiting java with C#

I'd like to see any of them justify it though...
Ps. Nice website it's very useful, any chance of a button that when clicked stops articles being edited (or just making articles user editable once they have been edited)?

Let's see you justify the contrary...
|
|
|
|
|
.net slower than java or java slower than .net.... I can justify java slower than .net with about 10 minutes of coding (and 30mins of java tools downloads).
Please don't ask me too though, really don't want the hassel of downloading java stuff.

HI
Can you show me some written proof(Link to the articles, journal's, books etc) that C# is better than Java or vice versa. You can not comment on anything unless there is any written evidence for it.
I am waiting for the proof...

And in 45 seconds I can prove to you that native C++ with ASM optimizations will run rings around them both.

But of course, they are wrong and we are right. Why? Well, because we are, well.... us.

lol, the perils of plain text. Perhaps someone should make a way of displaying text with the empesis being more obvious. At least there is a silver lining; we both agree

Exactly Chris.
I for one applaud the work your team does, and creating a separate Java home is another excellent idea which will be appreciated by most of us.
To those of you who hate (or are frightened of) Java, please don't waste space in this forum airing your prejudices.
