The following story contains coarse language and due to its content should not be read by anyone. So f*** u...and don't blame me...


Tutor: Well the public and private scoping of functions is a complex thing to understanding....Prof Martin would u like to elaborate...
(Prof Martin raises his head...casts a piercing glance at the tutor.{who faints at the spot and starts foaming at the mouth...but who cares....we'll just get another tutor}....walks to the board..and teaches..... at the very end of his explanation...)
Prof Martin: If a function is not defined as public...it becomes a private by default...any questions (with a satisfied tone of having accomplished something...worth accomplishing)???
Aaditya Bhasin: (raises his confident and well practiced hand)....When u don’t declare a function as public it becomes private by default right Professor....
(the Professor nods his head in agreement.....basking in the glory of actually being able to teach something to us blockheads....) BUT WHAT IF??...(the tension in the room goes up a notch....everyone expects this student to question the unquestionable....and shake the very foundations of modern Java Programming...akin to the Hurricane that destroyed the dinosaurs even when they were at the height of their Jurassic glory {damn it ... I don’t believe in the stupid meteor theory....so f*** u!!!} )
(Acknowledging the mob's interest....our protagonist raises his hand again to silence the mobs...just as Anthony (of the Julius Ceaser fame) had done....except...our hero had the ears of his friends countrymen and Singaporeans..(there were unfortunately no Romans)...)
Aaditya Bhasin: WHAT IF ...I don't declare the function as private then what happens???
(We expected a hurricane that would kill a T‐Rex....but we got a ‘fart’ that wouldn't kill a new born mosquito....damn it...or so we thought.....an old bearded man once said...think it was Confucius ...but you can’t be too sure with bearded men.... “Poison to the wise, are the unwise...so go away before you kill me...and stop writing down every damn thing I say; you little bag of....(the rest of the manuscript is lost....but we got Indiana Jones to get it back....as soon as his treatment for arthritis is completed this August...)” ).
PS: (Oh yeah our CS1102S classes have been suspended till Prof Martin gets better...he met a similar fate as his faithful tutor...both lay wounded ...as casualties...of The First War of Tutorials)
PPS: Beware Profs...and Tutors...Aaditya wants more.....quoting him (i.e. he must have said it at some point in time ...) "Bring it on Bitch"...
PPPS: You might wonder how come I survived this massacre....simple...I don’t pay attention in class.... :)
