This is a remake of the Simple Equation Solver snippet that is written in Java. This is an equivalent version written in C++. (Read More)

Provides a means of performing operations on Rational numbers that can be treated as fractions to make non-whole numbers easier to calculate and read than typical floating point storage types. This was a project for a class. This is by no means an attempt to "reinvent the wheel" (The reason I... (Read More)

Programming Environment: Windows XP Compilers: Borland C++ Builder 6 (Personal)/Borland C++ 5.5 (freebie) This is a routine that queries the logical drives in the system, along with their device types, local/network status and whether or not the devices are removable. Once the data are... (Read More)

Hmm this implementation is a bit bulky and unnecessary, but it was required as a project for one of my classes. Programming perspective: You'll notice in the code that I'm still fairly new to manipulating streams directly in C++, but I am trying my best =P. The StandardIncremental... (Read More)

Heres a snippet that allows you to make your own images by using a mathematical formula. It gives you fast access to each pixel in the bitmap, and then saves the image as a .bmp once its made. You can be creative like this and make images which would be impossible to make using applications such as... (Read More)

Simple program that returns a vector of string elements based on the string argument and the token specified. (Read More)

A bunch of basic statistical functions. I could have made a class here and I could have used more features of C#. But just to keep it simple I left it as a console application. So the modifications you have to make if you're into C, C++, Java etc. should be minor. (Read More)

If you ever want to get information about files stored in a particular map or directory, you can find out how it is done here. With a little modification you could turn this snippet into a DOS DIR-command or a UNIX(LINUX?) ls-command. (Read More)

A little console application in C# to show you the IP address of your computer or the IP address of any website you like. (Read More)

Solve an equation of the form Ax^2 + Bx + C = 0. The class is commented, but if you have any questions don't be affraid to ask. You may exercise this class in a console application with the following snippet : QuadraticEquation z = new QuadraticEquation(1, 3, 3); z.Solve(); ... (Read More)

OK Quicksort IS fast. But what if you just wanna sort 30 items? Then Quicksort becomes a bit of overkill. So what most people then use is the one and only popular "bubblesort", also called "standard exchange sort". Let me present you here with my implementation of another sort(among many others)... (Read More)

Most of the time there are many ways to implement an algorithm. Here are two ways to implement the greatest common divisor algoritm, one of the oldest algorithms ever. (Read More)

You can get your hands on to usefull information from within your C# program. Use the static System.Environment class! Take a look at this snippet, which can be used as is in a Console application. I have not exhausted all the possibilities, if you want you can look them up in the documentation. (Read More)

If you have to convert an angle from degrees to radians and way back, here are some utility functions in C#, along with a program to test them. I made use of the "out" keyword here, which allows a function to return more than one value. An alternative would be to return a struct containing all the... (Read More)

Fill in your birthday in the DateTime structure and get your sign as a string. Get an extra (an element associated whith the sign) via the out parameter thanks to C#! This switch statement uses returns all over the place, so a break staement is not needed. (Read More)

Sometimes it is good to sit back and reflect on life. More specifically, you can sit back and reflect on yourself. Often you will discover information that you didn’t realize about yourself. it is possible to have a C# program reflect upon itself. You can use such reflection to learn about an... (Read More)

Solves simple string-based expressions. Currently only supports integers, but can easily be expanded to support float-types. (Read More)

The code below captures the screen and saves it. Depending on your need, you can modify it to do just what you want import java.awt.AWTException; import java.awt.Robot; import java.awt.Rectangle; import java.awt.Toolkit; import java.awt.image.BufferedImage; import java.io.*; import... (Read More)

This a routine that executes a _popen() pipe on your behalf and retrieves the spawned program's/comand's console output for you. Useful if your program needs data from another program and can't communicate directly with it. (Read More)

Program is of the calculator which the usual thing for the operation. It has been totally implemented in the C language with the graphics and mouse functions included in it. Its not scientific but just a usual one.. (Read More)

A program that handles either piped input (command/prog | your_prog) or file redirected (your_prog < file_name) input. Determine whether such input exists before issuing a stdin read so that the program does not go into a "waiting for input" state. Written in/for the XP environment. (Read More)

A program that demonstrates opening Windows registry keys, reading data fields and closing the keys. (Read More)

Two very short routines. CLIPPUT transfers data to the clipboard and CLIPGET retrieves data from the clipboard. Developed and tested in Windows XP using a Borland C++ compiler. (Read More)

The greatest common divisor of integers x and y is the largest integer that evenly divides both x and y. Write a recursive method Gcd that returns the greatest common divisor of x and y. The Gcd of x and y is defined recursively as follows: If y is equal to 0, then Gcd( x, y ) is x; otherwise, Gcd(... (Read More)

Joining together ordered sample points (xi, yi) when ths xi's are different yields a piecewise linear continuous (P1) function. This snippet defines a handy class to manipulate these functions. It allows computing the value and the slope of the function at each point, arithmetic operations,... (Read More)

This snippet defines a class which can group a collection of strings according to a given set of prefixes. Each string goes in the group of the longest prefix it contains. (Read More)
