Awesome lectures, for some reason I can't read a file as shown here - I have the file in the project directory but it gives me a find file error. Anyone else have this problem?

wow.. how many times did he say point or pointer in the first few mins!  :L

[PONY4LYFEHAHDERP]

wow you guys are retarded

@pker5range While loops continue on as long as some value is true. Since "true" is always true, a while(true) loop will never end (until you break out of it manually). You could also do while(1) or while(5==5). Basically anything inside the while() parenthesis that is a true statement will make it continue.

[pker5range]

Why does the while (true) loop go on forever? what does the word true, test?

[pker5range]

Bad times..
