I'm been working through my textbook and just can't seem to understand the section on covariant return types. ie) what are covariant return types, what they are used for, etc. The definition in the...

Bruce Eckel's "Thinking in C" is an audio-visual primer (similar to a university lecture) that explores the major features of C, designed to prepare the audience for further studies in Java and/or...

Thank you for all the recommendations. I've started on Bruce Eckel's "Thinking in C" and skimmed through "Thinking in C++"

Both are available on www.mindview.net and can be downloaded free of...

This is an interesting article. I can't attest to the validity of the claims, but it's called "New secure browser Browzar is fake and full of adware" ...

Damn.

Do you have any recommendations or should I pick a text from one of the stickies?

I'm actually not sure whether I should start with C, jump into C++ or bother learning the language at...

Ah you're right. Silly me, that was after the edit as well :P

Yes that is the book I am using. I am going for the very thorough approach (ruling out all the "how to learn to program in 10 days") The first couple hundred pages were manageable but I find the...

I'm self-teaching myself C with a complete reference book. Unfortunately that means that the author assumes that the reader is familiar with fundamental concepts and doesn't bother commenting the...

You could use a for loop to receive input 10 times.

It would go something like

for (int i=0;i<=10;i++)
sumoftemp += inputtemp; //the running total
Assuming you receive 10 values for input,...

Is this bad practice or simply illegal? How/why should it affect anything?

I don't mean to challenge you or anything. I'm learning and my text doesn't seem to address the issue.

Stupid question. I've noticed that most of the posts seem to sink to the very bottom of the page. Is it possible to reply to a specific post without this happening?

Since you already learned this from GID, you could check out the scanf() (http://www.gidnetwork.com/b-59.html) series there. [/quote]

Will do. I couldn't help but notice that the author of the...

Thank you for all the help!

Did it manage to work with getchar() or system("PAUSE")?

Ok that's weird. Using system("PAUSE") gives me the correct output but why is this? It seems to me that they should be equivalent in this situation but apparently I have a misunderstanding.

I've...

I'm trying to use scansets to filter out out some textfiles.[/COLOR]

#include <stdio.h>
int main( void)

int i;
char str[ 80], str2[ 80];
scanf("%d %[abcdefg] %s", &i, str, str2);
