Maybe you can avoid that, I am thinking something like this.

void Convert( int& hours )
{
hours = hours % 12;

}

I think Lerner gave you a very nice explanation.

What you need is another loop. You can't do this with a single loop. You need a nested loop inside your loop.
In my opinion there are two...

Try with this.

About functions. (http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/functions.html)
About cin.get(); (http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/showtopic30581.htm)

Try to avoid, system( "pause" ); if you can. It works only for windows, and it needlessly calls a DOS/Windows command. Try cin.get(); instead. Another thing you are making blocks for no reason....

Your array is too small, you only allocated space for only one int element.
int* x = new int;
correct way: int* x = new int [ the amount you need ];


while ( b != 0 )
{
x[counter_x]...

sorry - double post

Yeah, but this is a C++ forum. :)
Little help: 1 hour = 60*60 seconds = 3600secs.

First you have to store the amount of seconds that can't be converted to hours.
8230 % 3600 = 1030. You store...

Thank you Vmanes! I am still confused with passing pointers. And now looking at my code, I am wondering how on earth it compiled. :D I will look into this...

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void b( char** p )
{
*p = "some text";
}

int main()

I agree, but he is interested in 2D arrays, so I tried to give him an example to show him, how it works. I would create a structure as well, and then go for a vector. :)

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
char ** my_arrays;

my_arrays = new char * [10]; // after this you will have 10 "arrays" - pointers
my_arrays[3] = new char [10];...

Have you tried to use a vector?

You can only get the capacity of the array by this:
sizeof( iarray ) / sizeof( int )

You have to delete all the branches of the tree you've allocated. You use delete to get rid of a single block of data. And delete[] - to get rid of an array of data. And if you just delete[] the...

When you are dealing with pointers for the first time, it might be confusing, when do you need to put a star in front of a variable, and actually what it means.

Just ignore the previous post it was improper. Sorry.

How about both? You can't create programs without algorithms. Algorithms are essential tools for programming. If you want to develop a program, or solve a particular problem, you will have to need an...

swap(i, length - (i + 1) )
But don't forget the brackets, because you would get some very funny results, especially with index 0 and 1. :)

Well guys I didn't want to rock the boat - I understand all of your points - that is be within C++ boundaries. I got that.

Thanks, but just to recap, my question is: Is it possible to create a data type which is not bounded to predefined C++ data types. I can create my own classes. but that would still rely on them. (...

Greetings! So my question is: Is it possible to create your own data type? Not a class, or a structure, that builds from predefined C++ types, but your very own. For example a 128bit integer type, or...

And what about white spaces and new lines? You are stuffing all the characters, one by one in a temporary character, but by doing that you are losing all the new lines and white spaces. Therefore you...

I don't get it. What's the point of duplicating the source array in a reverse order? You can check the beginning and the ending of the array at the same time. And you can still use the array's...

Yeah I vote for Code::Blocks too! :) Another thing, if you really want to do a favor for yourself, consider only those environments which has a debugger. It is an incredibly powerful tool. You will C...

You start dividing every number by 1! Every integer can be divided by 1 without remainder. Therefore you will always get "false" from your is_prime(int) function.

I recognize this code, this is from 3DBuzz's tutorial. :)
You did not declare the default constructor in your class. In other words you do not have declaration for the constructor with no arguments....

Try this:

for( list<int>::iterator itr = dob.begin(); itr != dob.end(); itr++ )
{
cout << *itr;
}

I am not sure about the starting expression of the for loop, but as far as I know. You...

Put your code in between a do - while statement. Like this one:

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
int loop = 0;

Try to avoid recursive functions if you can, they can slow your program greatly.

http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/operators.html
http://www.cppreference.com/wiki/operator_precedence

mPayment = (P*i)/q((1-pow((1 + (i/q)),-t)));

Didn't you forget to put a * after q?
By the way it gives back 323,406.
