How dare you ask this? Was it just to get into a programming memes page? - suppo.fi

The audacity to do such a thing…

I distinctly remember asking this question during a 100 level programming class but I just can not remember why I’d ever want to do this?

What problem could I have possibly have been trying to solve where this would seem like the answer.

I remember wondering this when I was first trying to self learn. It’s because I needed a map (or list + struct or something) and was such a noob I didn’t know what maps were. Whatever material I was learning from wasn’t good enough, especially for winging things. Plus I was trying to learn C++ and maps aren’t quite so built into the language as they are with a better first language like Python.
