2021-10-25 08:00:53 <veltas      > MrMobius: in my opinion the redundancy of getting two teams to do something separately is overrated. It's amazing how frequently two totally separate teams will come up with the exact same bugs
2021-10-25 08:02:05 <veltas      > And in generally actually it's interesting how similar the actual 'business logic' turns out when two different people write a program, it's not always but quite often they'll essentially write mostly the same logic, just differently

2021-10-25 16:09:43 <veltas      > I don't think the program in the video was necessarily trying to be as simple as possible, but I just thought that it was probably possible to make it much simpler
2021-10-25 16:09:49 <veltas      > And I think I achieved that

2021-10-25 16:10:59 <veltas      > Okay just noticed a mistake https://pastebin.com/raw/HyGskuNp
2021-10-25 16:11:05 <veltas      > f-a: A character or 0
2021-10-25 16:11:14 <veltas      > It means it returns 0 if there is no character
2021-10-25 16:11:24 <f-a         > ah
2021-10-25 16:11:26 <f-a         > makes sense
2021-10-25 16:11:28 <f-a         > thanks
2021-10-25 16:12:09 <veltas      > PEEK and GET aren't needed
2021-10-25 16:12:38 <veltas      > So I'll remove those.... https://pastebin.com/raw/qxHZR0sQ
2021-10-25 16:13:05 <veltas      > Hmm neither is EOL?

2021-10-25 16:20:52 <f-a         > wow
2021-10-25 16:20:57 <f-a         > how many exercises have you done?
2021-10-25 16:21:03 <f-a         > I would say forth is not well suited for them?
2021-10-25 16:21:30 <veltas      > I did like 3 or 4 of them but spent loads of time trying to make them work on aritficially larger datasets
2021-10-25 16:21:36 <veltas      > Well also I just got bored of it
