That was the observation made by professors.I won't say C/c++ will make better programmer than say java/Python but c\c++ programming will make one aware of many things you mentioned than working in Python/java. PD --- On Fri, 1/23/09, Sridhar Ratnakumar <sridhar.ra...@gmail.com> wrote:

Are you suggesting that because a programmer is adept in manipulating memory, pointers, arrays and structures like lists, hash table, stack, queue he becomes better in problem solving (from solving an algorithmic problem to a real-world problem) than a programmer who is not? _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
