std::vector<CString>::iterator it = m_elementList.begin()
Java is the work of the devil. He he he... I'm so glad the closest thing I get to java at my job is javascript which is soooo much easier to deal with. And Perl, which is fun and quirky. Let us never discuss Java again. (But if anyone knows Perl, we have a job opening!)

Let's ask Dr. Internet!
1. the act of repeating; a repetition. 2. Mathematics. a. Also called successive approximation. a problem-solving or computational method in which a succession of approximations, each building on the one preceding, is used to achieve a desired degree of accuracy. b. an instance of the use of this method. 3. Computers. a repetition of a statement or statements in a program.
...I'm not actually sure that answers the question.
I think it does, I never really used "iterations" besides for CS-related things, but it sounds like it's the same thing for "normal people" too.

This is The Agent speaking...
No excuses. Now get to work on comics. To hell with all the heathen science!
Ha ha ha! Now *that* is a directive.

Well, yeah, I could fix it. That would involve me doing something, though.
Ahh, apathy... a programmers best friend. (Until it comes back to bite them in the ass)

It all just came at a really inopportune time. I've been having an incredibly rough go of it the past week or so -- well, before that, but that's when things started getting really bad. A lot of bad things have been happening and it's all just been terribly crippling for me. It just really sucks, because there's only one programme I want to get into. I mean, there are approximately 5 programmes in the English-speaking world, but 2 of them are certificate programmes, and if I'm going to pay money I'm darn well going to get a degree for it. And then 2 of the remainder of the programmes are out of the country -- one in Toronto, the other one in Leeds (England). Plus, my programme is faster, which essentially means less money in the long run. It just puts more pressure on me because it's not like there's another place I can really go or another programme that I've fallen in love with. I just have one chance, more or less. And it's a good school. Blaaah. Well, one good thing about the GRE is you can always retake them if you need to - and since it's a "smart test" you just have to schedule it, it's not at certain times (like the SAT is). Plus, I think the GRE is sort of like the SAT - it's important, but it's not heavily weighted. And, as sad as this may sound, I was hoping on finishing my paper from last semester that I took an incomplete on and uh, I have... 5 more books that I had hoped to get through before I go back. And they're not short. They're also borrowed. Or, rather, one is borrowed and the others were forced upon me.
Well, you have another month, right? I actually took an incomplete on the class I did my master's project in, and of course, waited until the last possible moment to finish my project. I think it's a normal thing for people to do.

This probably won't help a bit, but the GRE is not that bad - I went and took it without even knowing what the questions were really like (I think I glanced at them online), and didn't even study... I did pretty good, not *great* but pretty good... good enough, at least. If I recall, when you sign up for the GRE they send you a CD with practice stuff on there and online tests you can take. I think if you would have had time to learn this stuff in a class, you could probably learn the stuff from a book/online classes. I know that I personally learn stuff better from teachers, but this isn't stuff you don't know already - you just have to learn how to take the test (it's just like the SAT, except on a computer - at least my version was). Besides, I've heard the classes are a big ripoff anyways.
Good luck Lindsay!

Everytime I load up the forum it says it doesn't exist/can't be accessed (I posted a screenshot in another thread) - it's pretty annoying.

Compared to the REST of the engineering depts, yes.
Yeah, when I was in Software Engineering there, I was one of 7 girls in the entire department (for all 5 years of studens - I counted the folders with female names). When I was leaving, the secretary was like "we're losing another one!"
