[Feedback] Lesson 2

[edo494]

11: about crash

its not crash itself, you could say the function tree call or thread crash because crash as is I myself imagine as game crash which will certainly not happen

14: smallest type

actually, boolean is 1 byte(8 bits) which is 256 values, integer is 4 bytes(32 bits) which is a lot more so no integer is not smallest data type in Jass

15: intial value and pointers

you could mention that in GUI all variables are set to null by default(handle types) or equivalents(0, false)

Also from strings you got to pointers, I thought you were learning vJass not C/C++ so pointers should be kept away from the tutorials

16 uselessness

line 16-50 totally useless, again you are learning vJass and none of this information is any needed anyways(maybe \n, \t)

Thats my feedback to lesson 2

Technically, the integer is the smallest data type because Blizzard's VM stupidly represents booleans as integers.

edit
Well, it's not really stupid, it's forced because of their variable structure.

Too early for that. Introduce thread crashes when threads are introduced, lol.

ur wrong, mag's right

not useless at all, you work a lot with your own pointers later on

just listed them all, and what chars work and what don't

I have to wonder, for pointers its not too early? hmm...

 

[Nestharus]

It's not

introducing pointers with strings is perfect as it teaches why strings will leak
