My comment
"You are wrong. There are many times when a task can be completed much quicker, even though more lines are used. An example would be taking the sine of a number. It is much faster to use a look-up table, taking several lines of code, than simply use the built in sin() that is on the 83plus rom. The difference in speed, can mean the difference between a 1 sec complex calculation, and a 5 sec complex calculation for the same equation depending on how many times sin, cos, ect. function are called."
His rebuttal
"That is completely incorrect. In college, we had to take serveral programming courses."
My final rebuttal
"In college you used punch cards to program." (Actually, he looked very flustered, so I didn't say that last thing, and instead said ok).
Moral of the story, don't try to piss a math teacher off in an intellectual battle. The hot girls in the class will think you are strange.
