    Yay for 1959, old man! May 1959 myself - you can call me "kid".

    Taking that line of reasoning to an extreme, I once asked the younger of a set of twins if her older sister ever tried to annoy her by starting a story with "you weren't around then, but back in my time..."

        That's what I remember from my C++ days... But maybe it is a C++ compiler issue and in reality you do not have to add it...

        Was mostly curiosity, I just remember doing conversions by hand in the first CS class I took in college. Binary we had to group in sets of 4, everything else was just the value I think.

          I will be 53 in < 2 months. :) This would make a nice formal survey imo. It would at least tell you what age group is most likely to take a survey! :laugh:

              Inside every old person is a young person, wondering what the hell happened.:)

              If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

                        I was born 1955 - "still coding after all these years". I believe that is a lyric to one of those ballads you youngsters call 'pop' songs. 8)

                            Not the oldest, and have only posted twice before, but I do follow CP daily. Born 1951. Employed as a programmer from 1972 to 2017. Now retired but still programming as a volunteer for a Christian organization. And for those talking about fathers, my father was born in 1893 and fought in both world wars. 1914-1918 for the British Army, in Greece. 1939-1945 for the Australian Air Force, in the Middle East.
