They'll probably tell you to never use goto as well, but that doesn't mean you should just listen to them. Find out why, and then do what is best; and yes, the popular opinion can be wrong...

Also, strcmp will tell you the relative ordering of the strings rather than simply if they are equal, if you needed that as well.

Floating point numbers are not stored precisely in memory. They are usually stored according to the IEEE 754 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754) standard. If you want exact precision, you need...

The one problem I see is that you can't compare floating point numbers directly. Here's a re-write with slightly different logic (you can keep yours if you want, they're about the same) and a better...

1gig encryption? 2mb compression? What do those mean? Are you using a 8589934592 bit encryption key? This isn't making sense. Also, the 2 seconds to encrypt-decrypt: are those for each database...

While I think my code is readable, that certainly doesn't mean it's the best solution to the problem :p
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <cstdio>
using namespace std;

It depends on what I'm doing as to what I'll use. Also depends on the computer I'm on. For helping people on the forums here, I tend to just use gcc from the command line (and a console text...

if (first != nil)
{
first = newnode;
} I'm just not seeing a reason for even having this part. You know first != nil because you set it above. And if you set first = newnode, you'll lose the...

Did you read his code? It's done that way. :rolleyes:

Here's the output I get running it:
Data type Size
char 1
unsigned char 1
short int 2...

I'd take stable-matching/marriage off that list, since it's much easier to do in a loop. Min-max would be a suitable replacement, however, it might be too complex for a basic example.

@OP:...

so, here's the output I get from running it (I made a few changes to the code, but nothing to affect the logic, and the lines starting with $ are where I start the program):
$ ./a.out

I'm surprised your teacher isn't allowing for lazy deletion. That said, here's one method (I don't remember the best way though) for deleting from a BST:

Find the node to be deleted. From there...

The #include "myheader.h" will essentially paste the contents of myheader.h into the top of whatever file it is #included into. So it'll be comiled just fine. In order to get the .cpp file...

If you have someIstream >> someString it will read up to the first whitespace. Try getline(infile, name) after you get the 3 integers. (I haven't used C++ for a while, so I might be remembering...

Please don't double post (http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread55213.html)

That error looks like you've got a Visual C++ project expecting a precompiled header (VC++ usually calls it "StdAfx.h" or something, IIRC). I havent used VC++ in a long time, but you'll probably...

Yeah, you can use eof(). If you read the example in the link I posted, you might get duplicate data.

The problem with the code segment you just posted is that you're still not reading anything...

First off, lets look at two code segments. The first is your original while loop, the second is writeTotal.
/* ... */
// the while loop:
while (!inStream.eof())
{
...

This is because it reads the number, then the loop condition fails so it doesn't save the number. I'll let you figure out a way to fix that ;)

I made a few changes to the code, mostly small ones, but here's what I've got atm:
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

const int MAXLEN = 10;
int buffer[MAXLEN];
int...

I'd first off recommend using return types instead of pointers. Handling pointers like that (imho) just makes the code messier than it needs to be. You could do it with references instead of...

The easiest way would be to put a big loop around the main part. You could have your menu contain an extra option to quit, and just keep doing calculations until they enter that option.

A bad habit is a bad habit, no matter what size the program is. Sure, it can be easier for a small program, but that doesn't change things. Same could be said for goto. ;)

I don't see the reason for the 3rd loop for(int k = 0; k < 14; k += 2)
cout << endl;
You'll be outputting 7 newlines between rows of stars... is that what you meant to do?
