Chapter 39: Chapter 38 Mr. Li: Yes, a faint smile~
Software and Big Data College B2 Training Building.
Gu Yu and Yu Laoer were racing down the hallway, finally making it to the classroom just before 8:10 am.
"We have two more minutes!"
Yu Laoer glanced at his phone clock—8:08.
They weren't late! The anxiety that had gripped their hearts was immediately released.
Logically speaking, being a few minutes late to a university class wasn't usually a big deal.
But the teacher they had today was exceptional!
She was the computer science college's so-called C Language Witch, professor Li Wen, known for her "Magic Sound Penetration Technique"!
There was a saying among the students: The more confident she is, the more terrified I become!
One could imagine how oppressive Li Wen's aura was!
Yu Laoer braved the front, swaggering into the computer classroom.
As soon as he entered, he noticed Li Wen, with her hair tied in a low ponytail, wearing a brown-gray sweater and a black pencil skirt, standing at the podium with a smile watching him!
Yu Laoer involuntarily took a step back.
"Come on, Laoer! The bell's about to ring!"
Gu Yu urged from behind, and Yu Laoer quickly hunched and scurried to a computer in the back row.
Just as Gu Yu entered the classroom, he found that, apart from Mrs. Wen, all his classmates suddenly turned their gazes towards him.
"It's Gu Yu, everyone!"
"Sisters, look! Gu Yu is here!"
"Doesn't Gu Yu look even more handsome today?"
"No wonder the school beauty is with Gu Yu! Just one glance at him, and my heart skips a beat…"
"..."
The class buzzed with whispers; Gu Yu felt awkward and pretended not to hear, hurrying to find a seat in the back row.
He could almost feel the gaze from the podium tracking him until he sat down.
Sure enough, as soon as he sat, Mrs. Wen spoke up.
"Alright! Apart from Pu Tongren and Qin Shan, who have asked for leave, everyone is here. Now we can start the class!"
Mrs. Wen, holding a microphone in her hand, spoke each word clearly and precisely, even with a hint of a tone one might use to placate children.
What's more important was that she maintained her signature faint smile at all times!
The classroom was dead silent.
No one looked up. Everyone quietly opened their computers, launched the programming software, and loaded the code they had written the previous day.
"Has everyone got their computers turned on? Good, now I will project a problem from my computer onto everyone's screens. Please give me the answer within three minutes! I will randomly ask a student to answer!"
Mrs. Wen's penetrating voice echoed from the front of the classroom, followed by everyone's screens being mirrored.
The content on the screen:
int main()
{
int a[3][2] = {(0,1), (2,3), (4,5)};
int *p;
p = a[0];
printf("%d", p[0]);
return 0;
}
// What is the output of this problem?
Gu Yu glanced at the problem and ran through it quickly in his mind, getting the answer in less than a minute.
But Yu Laoer sitting next to him was completely lost.
He hadn't paid attention at all in the array and pointer section of the course!
So looking at the problem in front of him was like staring into the abyss!
"Lao Si, Lao Si, what's the answer?"
Yu Laoer urgently sought Gu Yu's help, his eyes pleading.
Gu Yu remained composed, silently writing the number "1" on the desk with his finger.
After getting the answer, Yu Laoer heaved a sigh of relief—now he wouldn't panic if he was called upon!
Three minutes passed quickly, and the classroom was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
This time, Mrs. Wen didn't remain seated; she stood up, her gaze sweeping over the tops of everyone's heads.
"Okay! Time's up! Those who have the answer, please give me a signal with your eyes!"
Immediately, about seven or eight students who were confident in their answers looked up, fearlessly making eye contact with Mrs. Wen.
Li Wen's mouth curled slightly upward, but she still didn't seem quite satisfied.
When Gu Yu also looked up and met her gaze, her smile finally reached its peak!
Oozing with a strong aura of confidence, Mrs. Wen strode toward Gu Yu!
All eyes converged on Gu Yu.
Li Wen stopped in the aisle beside him, and then reached out her hand...!
She pointed towards Wang Dun, who was right in front of Gu Yu.
"This student, even if you don't cue me with your eyes, I'm still calling on you!"
Wang Dun's shoulders trembled, and he stood up with a bitter face.
He opened his mouth but in the end chose not to fabricate an answer, and honestly shook his head: "Mrs. Wen, I don't know how to do this problem."
"It's okay not to be able to answer~ honesty is precious~ sit down!"
Li Wen's smile didn't diminish, she didn't criticize Wang Dun, but instead praised him.
Wang Dun breathed a sigh of relief and hastily sat down.
It was only a matter of seconds, but he felt as if he had lived through an entire century!
Wang Dun hadn't answered the question, but Li Wen didn't leave immediately; she continued looking for the next victim.
Her gaze slowly moved from Wang Dun to Gu Yu. Gu Yu was even ready to stand up when suddenly her eyes shifted to Yu Laoer, who was next to him.
"This student, you were just snickering, it seems you're eager to try! Come on, start your performance~"
Li Wen extended a palm in a welcoming gesture.
Her gentle words were mixed with a soul-crushing pressure!
But Laoer, having already known the answer, was fearless!
With a jolt of his figure, he stood up proudly, answering in a clear and authoritative tone: "Mrs. Wen! The answer is one!"
Mrs. Wen raised her left eyebrow: "Correct~"
Laoer's face lit up with joy, just as he was about to sit down, but then Mrs. Wen continued: "But of course, every answer has its reasons, what's the cause for this problem, and what did it go through~ Alright, begin!"
Li Wen held her microphone towards Laoer, waiting expectantly for his answer.
How would Laoer know the process?
He had merely asked for the answer!
His face stiffened, and he stammered: "Mrs… Mrs. Wen… I guessed the answer!"
He was sitting on hot coals! That was all he could do!
This time it was Mrs. Wen's right eyebrow that arched, but her smile remained: "Then you're quite lucky~ sit down!"
Laoer quickly dropped back into his seat as if a huge mountain had fallen on his head.
In just this short time, his back was completely soaked with sweat!
"Looks like I'll have to ask our star student Gu Yu to come up and answer the problem~ Why is there not a single competent one today~"
Mrs. Wen pursed her lips as she scanned the crowd, who quickly averted their gazes.
Her gaze ultimately settled on Gu Yu, handing over the microphone.
"Gu Yu, please do us the honor~"
Gu Yu quickly stood up, took the microphone, and then smoothly explained the principle of the question.
"For the two-dimensional array a[3][2], a[0] gets the address of the first element of the one-dimensional array containing two elements, which are 1 and 3.
Let's point to it with pointer p, and then output p[0], which means outputting the first element of the one-dimensional array a[0], which is also the first element of the two-dimensional array a. Therefore, the answer is the number 1!"
He finished in one breath, with Mrs. Wen nodding repeatedly, looking very satisfied.
"As expected of my only full-score student~ While others can't do it, you can~ Please sit down!"
Li Wen took back her microphone and gently helped Gu Yu sit back down.
She then returned to her lectern and began a more in-depth explanation of the principle of the question.
"Crap! After a whole semester of her class, it still feels terrifying!"
Laoer wiped the fine sweat from his forehead.
"I think it's okay, Mrs. Wen is actually quite gentle, just with a hint of seriousness. Our class's C language integrated scores have always been first in the whole department!"
Gu Yu smiled, Mrs. Wen's style indeed was hard for many students to accept.
But it was undeniable that the results were exceptionally good!
The next two class periods continued in this atmosphere.
"Everyone should review the code when you go back, practice more so you can be as excellent as Gu Yu! Alright! Class dismissed~"
The bell rang for the end of the class, and as soon as Associate Professor Li Wen left, a figure with a beige dress, a light blue bow at the collar, and hair tied with a thin ribbon appeared at the front door of the classroom.
Lin Xinyue stretched her neck and waved at Gu Yu with a big grin.
"Yu, Yu! I've come to pick you up from school!"
...
"Holy cow! Is this sweet girl really our aloof school beauty Lin Xiaohua!??"
The whole class was abuzz!
