It was a pretty tiring day with teaching and research all going in one day…Added to that, the new class that I am teaching are freshmen …. Keeping their attention for 100 minutes on “calculus " is a challenge and obviously as in any class, the class comprises characters of all types !!! Inspite of teaching for over an year, this new class is a big challenge…Perhaps, that’s what makes people stick to acads in the sense that every year ,every batch is a new animal.

C++ is a language that requires sustained effort of programming for a years , say, the gurus of the language. May be that is the case..Personally , the language is fascinating in terms of design. Just by looking at why some things are done the way they are in C++, the learning can be immense. For example - Postfix and Prefix operators – i++ and ++i . How do you think such a thing is implemented?
