Full Transcript

They're all the same in every language. After a while, every language is the same cuz they all have the same features. Flow control, if which is like if statements and while loops and looping and you've got a statements and expressions, you know, assignment and you know, addition, subtraction and other types of things like that. You know, object-oriented programming, functional programming. They're all the same in every language.

Original Description
