(11:30 pm) I’ve basically spent the entire day at my desk. I woke up late, at 1:00 or so, and started programming again. 10 hours later, I’m still at my desk, and I’m still programming. I wish there was more progress. It seems like things are moving so slowly.

(1:00 am) I am feeling stressed.

(1:40 am) Here is some useful information for those of you who aren’t in CS. A lot of the times when you program in C/C++, you will encounter one of the following two runtime errors:

• Segmentation fault: You are breaking the permissions of the memory pages. Common reasons are

  • You are writing to read-only memory, including the read-only data or the text (code).
  • You are reading or writing the first page of memory, typically because you are dereferencing the NULL pointer.
  • You data and stack segments have overlapped, typically because you have recurred too much.

• Bus error: You are breaking the expected memory alignment, typically trying to read or write a word at a non-word-aligned address. 1

Our compiler currently has neither error.

it'll be over in less than 72 hrs :) than *I* can stop hating compilers so much! :P
