I always found math to be problematic because it builds on itself, yet math classes vary so much by school and teacher. I ran into difficulty in a graduate level course simply because I had never once been shown algebra with inequalities.
Also, you don't get instant, positive feedback, and immediate indication of whether your solution is correct as you do when programming.
- dkokelley 16y agoI think there is a limit to the positive feedback programming presents as well. Sure, a program may run as intended, but what if there are bugs that need to be worked out? What if there was a cleaner, faster way to perform the operations that version 1 did? This is what I truly enjoy about programming. Not that there is "instant, positive feedback," but that there are so many approaches to a solution, and room for refinement to make the program faster and cleaner.
