your random dice aren't random.

A+++++ quality snippet would read this poster again.

#ifdef is a shorthand form of #if defined. the difference between the two is that '#ifdef' doesnt allow complex expressions.

he said he wanted the function that returns an angle, "like when you press 2nd then sin on a calculator"

the only functions that *return* angles are the arcsin, arccos, and arctan functions -- the...

sorry, i made a typing mistake .. in C/C++ the functions are actually called as "asin()", "acos()" and "atan()"

follow the links i provided above and you'll see the prototypes.

the header...

i belive what you are looking to use are the acos() (http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cmath/acos/), asin() (http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cmath/asin/), and atan()...

if you want to round the number, then you use "setprecision(<n>)" or the format specifier "%.<n>f" for "printf()" where <n> is the number of digits you want to round to. E.g., the value 1.66667...

i find it pretty incredible that a professor would dump all this at once to beginners who had never passed arguments to functions before

^ i like that link.

i don't think there's an equation without using summation. i tried to think about it for a minute, but gave up. I'm not really a math guy. :D

it's just LaTeX markup tags. any reference will describe the basics

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Math_markup

and you don't need a "Big Number Library". you dont even need a long int. 10,000 is easily represented by a regular integer

the way to approach this problem is by summation:
...

the formula posted by siddhant is fundamentally flawed. it only appeared to work, because it just happened to be valid for n=2 through n=8. as 'n' increases past 8, the result becomes more and...

that's ridiculous. 14 y.o. is High School, and you are certainly old enough to have homework in a programming class.

furthermore this is a typical standard homework problem.

i'm not saying...

good lord, that's funny. but i don't think the OP is interested in buying a commercial product to submit as a school project or whatever he's trying to do this for.

a Do-It-Yourself project, i...

^ what he's saying is that you should *never* use the "equal to" comparison operator for floating point variables.

while his vocabulary wasn't precise about the type of comparison operator, he's...

I say that you should avoid the use of old, non-standard libraries like "conio.h" unless you are explicitly instructed -- required -- to do so.

anyone can quickly learn to use any library...

okay.

I'm calling it now (http://api.ning.com/files/c9uZEV94Dfl02UsMWOeU0mMYYuI3kIIIhJsKF-OM8rIDcZdAxqBg7eZkp47l2ccdOCN*tpI96VyrZW3g9MGVwR8QKg1wT-qR/waahmbulance2.jpg).

ahah

here's the OP, from one of his cross-posts:



:D

no, its the way you ask for help

you whine and beg, but you don't ask a specific question. you just post a big slop of mixed up code and demand that someone fix it for you.

well, you need to...

no, this is C++. Not C. Which is probably a lot of your problem: you're confusing two related, but different, languages.




how sad.

you're not going to do well around here.

the first one is classic thermodynamics.

im not sure about the second one, but apparently that's what this guy (OP) is doing.

i notice your function is called: "hanming" ...but i imagine you would easily figure out a compile time error such as that.

otherwise, i dont really have fooking clue as to what "calculating...

let's see, here....

this thread is over a year old and is already solved.

so, you post a "solution" that actually does the backassward result of what you claim it does? not to mention a loop...

okay... you might be right. intuitively the former approach seems logically wrong. however, i must admit that in my one semester of Probability and Statistics, i "intuited" my way to a final...

of course either way "will work". the point i'm making is that the former method is not a statistically accurate model of the selection process.

if you're trying to investigate lottery...

think about the typical Lotto game, and how the numbers are selected: you have 40 balls rolling around in a container from which 6 are picked, one at a time, at random.

after each successive...

it's not "jephthah approved". it's "industry acceptable".

i felt my post was quite constructive: I gave several links to a variety of modern and free standard-C compilers without prejudice....

whether it's currently practical or popular isnt the question. the question was whether C++ defines a byte as being exactly 8 bits. as several of us have learned, it does not. it can be 8 or...

i, too, believed the same thing Tux did.... thanks Narue for the detailed lesson. i learn a lot here.

^ ahaha.. your rep just went from -49 to 0 with one pity post by Dragon. LOL.

now look, here's your chance, adatapost: don't screw it up. think before you post. and get rid of your...

i read this as "rock paper scissor string" problem.

and thought the problem is, that "string" doesnt fit the "rock paper scissors" paradigm.

:cool:

are you stuck in a time machine? or is it still 1990, where you live?

throw that shit out, and join the 21st Century

(1) don't use conio.h

(2) do post your questions in the appropriate forum: this is C++ code, not C

here, i'll help you get started:

if (month == 4 && day > 20 || month == 5 && day < 21)
strcpy(sign,"taurus");
else if (month == 5 && day > 20 || month == 6 && day < 21)
...

yeah, about 12 'if / else if" conditional statements.

sure would be nice if you used syntax highlighting, so it would keep the whitespace/indentations, then i could read the code. otherwise, im not in a position now to compile it so i can't (won't) do...

yes :)

never mind. i'm done here. the correct solution has been given back on page 1.


.

funny you didnt qualify your "solution" with the "hey i'm a beginner" disclaimer, why are you falling back on it now?

whatever, if you're a beginner, then don't use this site to give wrong advice...
