Lecture (Oct. 25)

Today, we had a lot of good quotes from Pops. A LOT of good ones.

Pops was talking about objects and classes.
"Inside here - well, I haven't opened it yet, so I hope it's in here - is a Rice Krispy Treat. Or at least there had better be, 'cause I paid a buck and a quarter for it. ... And, ya know, if you eat it, it tastes good. That's a behavior! And this..." *points to recipe* "...is NOT a Rice Krispy Treat! It's a class!"


“Ya know, you can build multiple houses with a single blueprint. In Java, you'd just say new house! I mean, it's not that easy, but I mean...yeah.”

“See, it's not software, and I'm not good at hardware.” -Pops, after failing to fly a paper airplane

“Call it something indicative of what it does. Don't call it Afghanistan. It's not! It's a point!” -Pops, on names of objects

Anyway, I've got a good feeling about objects.
