Not too much to report today

We continued to go through the basics of programming in C# today. The problem for me is that they really are the basics.

C#, like Java, was derived from C++, which I have been using for many years. Aside from the occasional point which is somewhat different, everything we have gone over so far is extremely elementary, as befits a class that is geared to beginners.

I found one small point of interest in class today: there is an object called Convert, which handles all kinds of conversions from one data type to another. That is a bit different from the way conversions are handled in C/C++, but makes more sense from the object-oriented point of view.

I have pretty much found myself helping out my classmates with their programs, rather than writing my own.
