Things We Did Today

Margaret chided me gently. “You haven’t blogged at all today,” quoth she; “you’re getting lazy.” Well, perhaps. Perhaps I don’t have that far to go. In time that I might have spent blogging, I evaluated the three participating teams of a classroom disputatio, marked a paper, helped Pippa through the morning, did laundry, washed dishes, attended mass, read over Bob Carlton’s term paper on Emergent Post-Evangelicalism (note to Bob: good paper, but you left out at least one essential source on postmodernism and theology. . .) (note to self: Bob and Jordon have been pointing to so much intriguing stuff on issues such as this; I positively ache to have more time to follow up all that’s going on around me. Is there room for emergent post-evangelical Anglo-catholicism?), instant-messaged with Margaret and Trevor about various thrilling issues, tried unsuccessfully to fax something to the EveryVoice folks, gave the “Tome of Leo” lecture to early church history class and tried to explain to them the communicatio idiomatum, handcrafted a couple of frozen pizzas, and worked on the list of essential terms for the history course’s final exam. Then I gave some pastoral care to Margaret who spent the evening at a meeting at church. But she was not quite right; I may be lazy, but I have blogged something.

When the machine compiles your code, however, it does a little bit of translation. At run time, the computer sees nothing but 1s and 0s, which is all the computer ever sees: a continuous string of binary numbers that it can interpret in various ways.

This will allow us to use a few functions we didn't have access to before. These lines are still a mystery for now, but we'll explain them soon. Now we'll start working within the main function, where favoriteNumber is declared and used. The first thing we need to do is change how we declare the variable. Instead of

Let's see an example by converting our favoriteNumber variable from a stack variable to a heap variable. The first thing we'll do is find the project we've been working on and open it up in Project Builder. In the file, we'll start right at the top and work our way down. Under the line:
