It's going away now, but when I first left the classroom I had one heckuva tension headache. :rolleyes:
BUT, I think I passed. There was only one 10-point question that I'm not too confident about my answer on, but I know another student in the class felt that question and the one before it were both really hard and *he* has several years more experience in C than I do.
I ended up staying up until nearly 4 last night doing homework/practice problems (I couldn't sleep), then pretty much all of the day was spent working on my "cheat sheet" (a permitted 8.5x11 double-sided sheet of paper). I first did a hand-written one, written in close to 6-point font. But when I had 2 hours left before class, I decided to try typing them up. Using Adobe Illustrator, I was able to get about 3x the examples on one side of the paper, thus fitting all the examples I needed for my cheat sheet. And typing every function/program/example in to the computer gave me even more practice, so by the time the test came around I was doing better confidence-wise. I may not fully understand *why* some of the functions work the way they do or why they were used that way, but I could parrot them back.
Long story short (too late :rolleyes: ), I think I did well on it, much better than I expected to do, and hopefully I'll still feel that way when we get them returned. ;) And maybe he'll even curve.
I'm going to go let my brain finish melting now. Thanks bunches for the good luck PD!!
