This is really C++ syntax.

You might have to add the line
using namespace std;
or add a std:: before every cout and cin (etc).

What are you using for a compiler? Sounds like the old Borland thingy!

Java and Python are much alike, they both compile to virtual machine code (byte code) and then interpret this code to the specific CPU machine code.

Java uses pretty much the same ugly syntax...

Thanks for moving it to C++, whoever did it.

I used a similar library for Delphi and it worked well. Here is the C/C++ counterpart.

"Windows Std Serial Comm Lib for C/C++" (includes XP), a shareware download from:...

You have two separate programs, so you might have to create two separate projects.

I think his TA would look right through that as somebody else's fairly sophisticated code!

There is an open source project called MONO that allows .NET stuff to be run on the Linux operating system. I think the name MONO came from the effort to break the attempted MicroSoft monopoly.

If you Google "Convert C++ to Java", you get 1,770,000 hits with plenty of tools available in the first ten hits. If those tools are perfect in every case, I don't know. Take a look!

Generally one would use Windows API function SetPixel(hDC, x, y, color). For an actual example see:

Just a note, cin.sync() is not considered to be very reliable for removing vagabond '\n' characters.

No wonder the poor chap through in the C++ towel.

Glad to see someone is interested in music! You can simplify your code a little by calculating the frequency for a given musical note. See this snippet:

A nice style guide for C/C++ code:

The & is missing from keyboards in a number of European countries, as is the $ symbol. They however have other symbols they need on their keyboards.

The C compiler that comes with Dev-CPP must be more modern ...
// using "and" and "or" rather than "&&" and "||"
// as a Dev-Cpp C project

#include <stdio.h>
#include <iso646.h> // yes this...

Again, it depends on which country you live in. Not all keyboards have a & key!!!! Actually "and" looks a lot more readable than "&&". Dev-C++ uses a much more international open source GNU...

For something like a dictionary sized array of strings I would use a combination of sorting routines with look-ahead. Something Narue's snippet "Optimized quicksort implementation" shows:...

PlaySound() does not play midi files, use mciSendString() to play a midi music file. Check the details in cpp code snippet:

Take a look at function fscanf() that delimits on whitespaces. Nothing wrong with using it in C++, it is part of ANSI C++.

The way I feel, with Python you drive the car, and with C++ you fine_tune the carburetor and adjust the gears. Well, sometimes it's fun to get your hands dirty!

You can change the speed in this commented line:
// 50ms here, lower value gives higher speed
SetTimer((HWND)Form1,1,50,NULL);

I went with the second option and inserted ...
if (dV.empty())
{
cout << "... cannot process an empty vector so I made one up:\n";
dV.push_back(99.9);
dV.push_back(7.1);
...

Great, thanks ~s.o.s~ I finally was able to get rid of the old eyesore system("pause"). I knew there were stray '\n' around, but even the old double cin.get() trick didn't work here. Strangely...

Thanks keithr, for making the code work with VisualStudio.Net (2003). Looks like different compilers have somewhat different header requirements. Oh the joy of C++ headers!!!

I agree with you, cin.get() is the portable way to wait, but take a look at a small code snippet I wrote a long time ago:

I would love, if you could...

If you ever used Dev-C++ you would know that much of this code comes up as a templet. My point was to show how to use the Sleep() function. Talking about heavy overhead, the iostream header creates...

If you are talking about the SetPixel() snippet, that is a Console Application in Dev-C++ parlance. Windows Applications are fullblown Windows GUI programs with frames, buttons, labels, event loops...

If you are using Windows and Dev-C++ then the function is Sleep(milliseconds) ...
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h> // needed for Sleep(millisec)

using namespace std;...

Hidden in the DaniWeb C++ code snippets is an example of using WinAPI SetPixel() that allows you to put a pixel at the specified x,y coordinates, and also uses the color you give it. The example...

Dev C++ is just a nice free IDE that happens to use public domain compilers like g++ and gcc. Rumors about its death are a little premature, and are most likely spread by commercial interests, so...

I am using dev-c++ 4.9.9.1 and your last code works just fine (Windows XP). I think the version should not make any difference, that is only an update of the IDE. Are you using g++ as the compiler?...

This is a C++ program and should be moved to the cplusplus snippets!

I don't want to step on any C++ toes, but there is a "Projects for Beginners" thread in the Python forum. Much of it is applicable to C++ programmers too. Take a look at:...

The function clock() in time.h or ctime returns the number of ticks since "process start". A tick is about a millisecond.

This little while loop will ask for an integer input until it gets one ...
// controlled integer input in C++:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>

int main(void)
{

You will have to format your text to fit the labels.

Thank you, that helps a lot! The problem came from Python that seems to balk at more then twenty levels of nesting. Much of the Python interpreter DLL is written in ANSI C.

The actual question...

Does anybody know the limit of nested for loops in C or C++? If there is a limit, what is the reason?
