Introduction

In only one and a half semesters, I can already tell that most college professors are ridiculous. But, up until now, I haven’t had any that were so ridiculous that I felt the need to write about them. Enter my C++ professor this semester. I wrote this simple program very quickly, because I’ve had C++ before, but it took my easily twice as long to comment every freaking line. That’s absurd. As if the graders don’t know what’s going on and as if I don’t know—I wrote it, after all. I mean, just look at that code—it’s ridiculous.
