Well, that's first year over and done with. :D

[Jeimuzu]

No resits for my first year, I just got my results!

System Design:
62%

Computer Mathematics:
78%

Principles of Computers:
86%

C++ Programming 2:
66%

Professional Studies:
59%

I did C++ 1 earlier in the year, and passed that with 40%, too.

 

[Pringle]

Well done fella - onward and upward then.

Computer mathmatics? Never knew there was such a thing.

Congrats.

OH HEX - Why didn't you say so -


"In mathematics and computer science, hexadecimal, base-16, or simply hex, is a numeral system with a radix, or base, of 16, usually written using the symbols 0–9 and A–F, or a–f. Its primary purpose is to represent the binary code in a format easier for humans to read, and acts as a form of shorthand, in which one hexadecimal digit stands in place of four binary bits. For example, the decimal numeral 79, whose binary representation is 01001111, is 4F in hexadecimal (4 = 0100, F = 1111). IBM introduced the current hexadecimal system to the computing world; an earlier version, using the digits 0–9 and u–z, had been introduced in 1956, and had been used by the Bendix G-15 computer."

Jocobim - you a clever guy

 

[Andreus]

congrats buddy

 

[BrandonSBCA]

Congratulations.

 

[Jeimuzu]

Congrats.



"Learning to add up in hex"

Oddly enough, no.

That is actually covered in PoC. Computer Maths consists of things like sets, logic, matrices, calculus, that sorta thing. I was surprised to find maths stuff in PoC, but I guess they're the experts.

I wonder how their equivalent of 0xDEADBEEF looked…

Congrats on the scores, buddy q

0xXYUXVYYZ I assume woking on 0x indicating hex still. Well done Jackobim, great result, all power to you, it is not an easy subject by any means.

 

[winterknight]

Pointless fact: the first four bytes of all Java applets are 0xCAFEBABE.

 

[robbieadam]

Congrats Jacobim!

 

[Jeimuzu]

Thanks everyone! I'm dead chuffed. I'm heading out tomorrow, I think, and meeting up with two other guys who aced their courses, both of whom are the people I consider my two best friends in the whole world - meaning I'm really incredibly happy for them, too.

That's gonna be such a kickass atmosphere. I'm really looking forward to it, if I can get it arranged. Those two are free, but I may have to sort out some other stuff at home. I hope not.

 

[buzzj]

That's good news! Congratulations!!

 

[Jeimuzu]

Thank you too!

 

[Pathicus]

Great news mate!

So you are heading for a 1st in your BA, then heading over to Churchill College in Cambridge for your MA, followed by a PhD at MIT in Boston I imagine? Just remember us at JUB once you have achieved fame and fortune...

Wishing you a nice summer. You have clearly deserved it!

 

[martin6]

Sounds like you've been working hard and becoming successful!! Great job, Jacobim!!!

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......

*smoke comes out of ears*

Gah, my brain just melted!

Dammit Pringle, you owe me a brain!!

Uh, anyway congrats Jacobim!!

 

[star-warrior]

Great stuff!

Have a good night out with the lads
