I think Ancient Dragon was suggesting that you learn win32 for PC first because it will be easier to learn since it's easier to debug and there are more tutorials available for it. Once you have...

Are you interested in writing programs for your pocket pc in c++, or are you trying to run compiled programs on the device?

Leopold, the issue you're having with "too few arguments" is occuring because you are calling functions with zero inputs that require three inputs.

You call the function radius like this:...

Welcome. Hope you can get the help you need here at DaniWeb.

To add images, you just use HTML:

<img src="SOURCE OF IMAGE" alt="TEXT IF IMAGE DOESN'T SHOW"/>

Is that your only problem? I can't quite understand what you are asking for.

Thank you. That's exactly what I'm looking for. I'll keep looking into it, but would it be possible for you to explain how exactly I could implement this? It seems that the decorator classes would be...

Hmmm.. that sure seems complicated.

So, have you ever played WoW, Runescape, MapleStory or an RPG similar to those? In those games, there are many skills that you can have. You can only use them...

Hello,

I worked with Python for about a year. Then I moved on to C/C++. Now I'm learning Java. I know the basics of programming really well, and I'm starting to get a good grasp of OOP.

I'm...

If userInput is an int, it's never going to be an empty string.

Read this for more info on rand():

You need...

This is where you input -1 in the second time:



cin.good() evaluates to true and the while loop exits.

Wouldn't it be better to do something like this?

(psuedo code)

Yeah, just change the numbers in the if statements.

Fyi, you don't need the first boolean comparison in the if statements.

Example:


if (numGrade > 3.7)
grade = "A+";
else if (numGrade...

scored

Cool. It was fun to help. I'd love to see the finished products. When you finish them, post in a new post because it won't be about "scanning a string?" ...

Later.

Several syntax problems:

- You have "for triplet in range(0,1,3):" but later reference "triple", which is not a variable

- You create output as an empty string, and then never reference it....

Oh. I was unaware of that. I'll have to rework the loop. Gimme a minute.

edit:
x += 1 is equivalent to x = x + 1. It's a shorter method of incrementing the variable.
!= means "does not equal."...

Okay.

Code:


d = {'a':'a','g':'c','c':'b'} # key is actually talking about a triple 'aaa':'a'

while True:
stuff = raw_input("string: ").lower()
if stuff == "exit":

Well... it seems to be using the older command prompt--the one that doesn't accept spaces.

If you know much about DOS, you might have seen this before:

C:\Progra~1\

Try that.

This seemed...

Yeah, ouch. That's a lot less efficient. Look up dictionaries. ;)

Do you need me to explain mine, or do you understand?

So you only got an error with execv? It looks like you need arguments with that. What's wrong with using os.system()?

My ie7 is in "c:/windows/ie7/"

This works on my computer:


import os...

Would you mind posting your code so we can see how you did it and change it from there?

Here's a little program I made to do the same thing:


d = {'a':'a','g':'c','c':'b'} # key is actually...

You need two underscores on both sides of the "init" method of your Point class.


#classify "Point"
class Point(object):
def __init__(self, x, y):
self.x = x
self.y = y
...

Oh, excellent. Thank you.

I ran across this one method where you have a list of divisors and you remove all of the multiples as you go through. For example, say you're doing 1-100. It adds '2' as...

I know printing primes isn't anything new, but (like always) I'd love to hear some feedback on how I can make my code more efficient and other constructive criticism.


def print_primes(r=10):

RPG = Role Playing Game... right now I'm implementing locked doors to open and a "look" command to look at things.

Zonr and I have been working on a fun text game containing different rooms, monsters (with a D&D-esque battle system), and save/load functions.

Here are the files. You need to have all of them...

So, I created this fun little Tic Tac Toe game all on my own. It was a tough project, and I know I used some inefficient strategies in the coding. Just like the other things I've posted, this could...

Well.. if you wrote your own classes like Tkinter, I guess you could. Why would you?

This works:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unununium_(operating_system)

Here's a good example of startswith:


# Declare some values (strings...)
codes = ["00123","00332","40325","00455"]

# Print out an error message if a code doesn't have the right prefix: "00"...

Wow, ghostdog. That's short code. Talk about clean. I can understand that... the list comprehensiong stuff, but I have yet to implement it into something of my own. I don't think about using it when...

That seems like the obvious solution.

I tried it out myself and came up with the following code. It adds to a new string created in the functions to create the encoded or decoded text.


def encode(text):
encoded = ""
for...

Seeeing if I could just get it to pick up all the coins without errors, I wrote some working code EXCEPT that it had no random thing, so if in its path going back and forth it saw no coins, it got...

I would suggest creating the box in one string or several strings and then print that string.

That looks interesting! Would you mind posting your entire tic-tac-toe program?

Mawe, could you explain this piece by piece?

In [1]: import re
In [2]: pattern = re.compile("(\d)([A-Za-z])")
In [3]: formula = "6x+3x^2"
In [4]: re.sub(pattern, r"\1*\2", formula)
Out[4]:...

Wow. Thanks a LOT for your input. I wasn't aware of eval()'s function before this. Also, I looked into regex. Thanks. Yeah, trig functions will be used.

I couldn't get it to work and then realizeed that you need python 2.4; 2.5 doesn't work. oh well...

Yes.



I realized that.



I'm pretty new to complicated problems like this problem. I've mostyl been doing basic stuff. This sounded like a fun thing to do. My friend in Calculus asked me...
