> This I just have to disagree with. I think it's valuable for students to learn how to implement quick sort. I'd rather the students kow how to implement large software architectures, keep line counts down, abstract problems correctly, and learn how things are done in the real world. > It's useful to learn how to implement big-integer arithmetic Not in my opinion. Maybe, maybe, show them how emulating FP math works but writing big-integer arithmatic functions is pretty useless for most people and is far too strait forward to require them to develop their skills of development software…
