Becaus vectors are chad
Connor Richardson
They arent
Austin Edwards
Even if they were shitty, they're what your processor was designed to crunch as quickly as possible. Deal with it.

What else would you prefer? A linked list?

Easton Cruz
because you are using shit languages like C/C++ instead of fortran or R or numpy

Samuel Collins

>shitty to work with
let me guess: you were dropped on your head as a child? arrays are the easiest data structure to work with. life would be so easy if i could solve ever problem using the vector class

Chad uses spin locks and doesn't give a fuck.

What problems are you having user and what are you trying to do?
Samuel Morris
Now implement a cactus stack.
Ryder Carter
It's because you use a shitty language. Use Prolog
Luke Lewis
Its a primitive type.
If you want to hold a lot of things and actually have functions to use, try a collection class like List. In fact, I laugh when people choose primitive arrays over 'proper' data types simply because they dont know any better
Levi Howard
If something requires non-negative IQ it doesn't automatically make it difficult.
Aaron Jones
What are you storing in that array, OP? Is it some sick shit?
Ryder Sullivan
array[index].value
whats so hard about this?
Camden Gonzalez
it's offset from the first element
Nicholas Martinez
? In what unholy abomination of a language do you retrieve an array entry with "array[index].value"?
Even java is more sane than this.
Charles Reyes
Wat?
array[0] is the first, array[1] the second entry and so on. It's not hard when you can do math on elementary school level.
Ethan Scott
>array[index].value
Owen Perry
Best thing for tards like you to help understand arrays and indexing is a deck of cards. Simulate that shit in your hand.
Samuel Davis
think about it, you'll get it eventually
