Re: Annoying questions
On our machine code training course three of us on the back row kept asking the awkward questions.
Came the day of our test assignment programs being run on the machine. The lecturer cheerfully handed out our results - remarking that although we had managed to get first time clean compilations - our programs' logic had not produced any output.
We scratched our heads - looked at the compilation listings - then pointed out that he had forgotten to include I/O macro substitution resources for the run. Crestfallen he then admitted that he never included them the first time as it was a waste of his budget - as students' programs never compiled cleanly the first time.
