Am I just started to think like a programmer? ;)

At 01:23 of these video I have that idea to put for loop like this: for(i=0, i<student.length, i+=1). It comed naturally first second I was thinking about creating the loop.

do not forget to declare the variable i first like so

for( var i = 0, i < student.length, i += 1) {
    // Do something awesome here
}

I'm not entirely sure what it means, if there's a right or wrong way to think like a programmer but if you're looking at code and able to think of solutions to solve problems then you're well on the way. :-)

Programming is not so much about memorising code (although of course it helps) but thinking of creative ways to solve problems and if you'er not sure how, looking at the documentation or other places to get the answers.

Yeah those moments like that are cool. I use another programming language called M and it is very common to loop through a data structure that is the same as an array. There loop has a very similar syntax and a very similar trick to get the length.

Dear Rahar, I don't really know why you're insulting me? What is wrong with you?
