Well maybe not so serious, but you looked.

I'm totally addicted to DIC, and programming in general. Trying to study for Trig, I find myself writing questions I want to ask about programming, on my study guide. I put the six trigonometric funtions in order and linked them together like you'd nest a loop, because it makes it easier to understand and remember them. Instead of the way you're supposed to write numbers and things in math, I write in programming language now. "If angle a is between 0 and 90 degrees" becomes:

if (a>=0 && a<=90)

If anyone in my class wants to borrow my notes they will be out of luck, unless they're a programming major which is not likely. Looking at it here though, it does make good shorthand.

More and more I feel that if I am not doing something related to programming, it's not worth doing...

So am I sick or what? Does anyone here feel the same way?

Naw, I speak in C or PERL in my head, Almost wrote an equation in Calculus I class with PERL. IN front of everyone.

I sometimes find myself using programming shorthand too, sometimes on assignments. The teacher really doesn't like that. When i use programming shorthand, i usually don't stick exactly by the book, i twist the language a bit to make it easier to write. In your "If angle a is between 0 and 90 degrees" example, i probably would of written:

angle a;
if (a.IsBetween(0, 90)) { ... }
}

I was going to say something similar. Once when I was an IRC addict, I caught myself thinking, slash me is thirsty, slash me will go get a drink of wa... damn it!

welcome to the geek club!!

That looks like not that rare disease in this corner of the internet. If you are looking for help, here looks like a rehabilitation group for that
But I still do not do that, but I am starting to use class diagrams for brainstorming which I am not sure if it is good. (I havent really used much UML in my life as I am just a student yet)

[RedSonja]

Yes, that's me.

I knew it was time to change jobs when I was dreaming in assembler, which is such hard work it wakes you up.

I have infected my kids with geek-think too. If slippers still in hallway, Mama not home yet. If cellar light is on, missing person probably in cellar.
Playing 20 questions, if they think you are describing a car, they won't say, "does it have four wheels?", they say "does it normally have four wheels on the ground?". I am glad I am not a teacher in their school. I hereby apologise to the world in advance for what they get up to when they are grown up.

programming has definitely changed the way i think/talk to myself. i def use nested if statements and for loops and such while thinking to myself about things that have nothing to do with computers or programming.

this does not make us nerds and/or geeks. it makes us 1337

Yeah you probably should seek help.

Any association you can make between one subject and another is a good thing. Many people believe this is how the brain best learns, rather than compartmentalizing everything: math in the "math" box and programming in the "programming" box, if you get my meaning. So, go ahead and make associations (the more the better) to any subject that makes sense to you because it will help you understand and learn more efficiently.

Hehe - yeah I used to do that too. Not as bad as before but sometimes I still see myself thinking that way, and especially in Math.

As an alternative Olive, how’s about:-

If (0 â 90)

How short can you get it ?

I never wrote anything like that in code, but I have actually dreamed in code! I'm not joking, I was dreaming and I saw some code that drew 3D texture-mapped triangles using a software technique.
