It takes longer to write that than assembly.
It's obfuscated C. The point is to make the most unreadable, convoluted code.

Have a look at what some of these guys have done:

Mine was a poor effort, but I did submit it anyway.

Is that what the last chapter in your <i>Sam's Teach Yourself C++ In 21 Days</i> book said, or did you suddenly gain industry experience in the past month?
nah, not so much industry
experience as it is industry
insight. ive had the chance to talk to quite a few people in the know, and thats what they suggest. of course, it is always up to the individual to decide where they enter, how far they go, and whatnot.

We're calling it "the biz" now?
Since when did C++ coding get you hookers and blow?

It's generally wise to not give advice on topics you have no experience or knowledge about. It is also dishonest to pretend you know what you're talking about when all you've done is parrot some stuff you read on a web forum.

Its generally up to a CEO and investors how far you go and what you make ;) The days of actual performance mattering are dying out.
Programming is a decent job and if you're in the right place you can get noticed for your good work.
If you're in a support or IT role though, be prepared for zero recognition for the things you do right, and be readyt o take the full blame when something goes wrong. Its part of the reason the IT industry rotates jobs so fast. You are an expense. People don't view you as making money for the company in most cases, so the only way to make significant raises is to move to a higher position in another company.
