Programming language is difficult to learn

Liu Rujia wrote the introduction Classic of algorithmic Competition (second edition) (algorithmic Art and Informatics Competition), which tells my experience in the preface. After reading it, I will combine myself. After all, I have also learned the C language, and the programming language is really difficult to learn. Or don't work hard enough.

He learned the "C language for three days" and the mysteries of C programming by himself, taught himself data structure, learned 8086 assembly language, and even debugged "Chinese Paladin" with SoftICE day and night, and applied the skills he learned to the game engine he developed. Worthy of being a college student of Tsinghua University, I feel deeply ashamed of being studious. However, at that time, he took part in a competition called NOIP, which won the second place in the city in the written test of the preliminary competition and entered the semi-finals (on the computer). Just when I thought I could show my strength, "but the result of my computer programming competition was" tragic ": in the first question, a test point exceeded the range of integers; in the second question, I missed a condition and got no point at all; the third question used the exhaustive method and all timed out. After the exam, I thought I could get a full score, but I only got more than 20 of the 100 points."

"he began to learn from the bitter experience and began to reflect. Scum like the editor deeply admired the great god. and, as he said," the benefits are huge. "

I didn't study computer from the beginning to participate in competitions, so I almost always use the familiar c language and sometimes use dot assembly when writing algorithmic programs. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. As I became more experienced in writing applications, I began to rejoice that I first learned C-in almost all the technical books I bought, I used C instead of Pascal, and despite the occasional use of Delphi articles, this language doesn't seem to have much "technical content" except for the convenience of building a beautiful interface. I have always been familiar with the C language, and it turns out that it has played a huge role in my career. "

Stop saying that the programming language is difficult to learn, it is an excuse for no perseverance, and the editor should review the C language again. C language is also helpful to the learning of other languages.
