Have you considered using inheritance?
I'm an amateur I'm not sure what inheritance is:X? Is it like instantiateing?
When you start learning about different paradigms, you'll likely learn much more about inheritance when learning about the Object Oriented design paradigm.
To overly simplify, you create objects that inherit attributes from other objects. It's for instance a way to create reusable patterns, that have stronger and more reliable data structures.
I made the joke comment, because for instance, you could create a
Turtleclass, and always know it was aTurtle. Again, an oversimplification.EDIT: I should also add that for some reason OOP is an oddly divisive subject. Developers always seem to want to argue about it.
At this point I think there is no software dev topic that is somehow not devisive.
Now I want to try something:
"Boolean variables don't suck."
No one uses Boolean values anyway and with the amount of resources available on modern systems we can just replace them with integers and we should be fine. This also makes it easier to teach people, as they would learn less different data types.
Yes I'm a software dev :)
I love it!
