To avoid buffer overflow, prefer using cin.getline(char_ptr, size);

>> With that code, calling the >> operator will always store it into appt.subject, but what about storing information to...

The problem is again sort of same. appt.subject = new char[strlen(ptr) + 1];. Neither ptr holds any string nor it point to any dynamically allocated memory and you are still trying to calculate its...

Its happening because subject is not pointing to a valid address, basically you haven't allocated memory to it. Either use char subject[size] or allocate memory in constructor using malloc() or new...

What linker errors are you getting? You have just declared the function paidout() but not defined it. And perhaps you have called it somewhere else. Also if you think thats the whole program then its...

Yes windows.h, if you are using windows. And the function name is Sleep() not sleep()

No, back() return reference.

The program you are discussing is a Windows program which uses Win32 API library.

In resource.h you may get error if you havn't left a blank line at the end.

If you dont know what hInstance or...

If getnumber() doen't ask for values but just shows them, it would look like this


int findbig(int a, int b)
{
// will return -1, if a is greater
// 0 if both are equal
// 1 if b...

Whats the code, so that we could see whats happening. Here's an MSDN link (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/t8xe60cf%28VS.80%29.aspx) which show some common reason to this specific error.

Of course all pragmas are compiler dependent and different compilers could have different pragmas. I didn't mentioned it all but I think its pretty clear. By deprecated I meant its somewhat strongly...

You could also use #pragma once but it is compiler dependent and deprecated. Its generally used with MSVC++.

Ok then same messages. Try this. Goto Project->Properties->Linker->System->Subsystem. Change it to /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE.

What error messages are you are getting? The project as console application must compiler your program well.

Also try to deselect(if selected) the Precompiled Header option. Sometimes it happens...

There is separate MSDN Express Edition for VS2005 Express, which integrates itself to VS.

Are you sure that you have wriiten
#include <iostream> not ioestream as the error shows.

Aint giving you the code, but here;s how it has to ve dont. Suppose u define a 7x7 matrix in double dimention array. Initially fill them either with false meaning not filled. As the game continues...

Yes that works.
Visual C++ 6.0 is quite old and quite buggy too. So get a new compiler, maybe that helps you:
These all are good and free:

Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition
CodeBlocks IDE
Turbo...

Works perfect in my compiler Visual C++ 2005 Express, which compiler do you use.

Hi, I am too a C++ student(in school) from India only.:)
Well it is this pointer. This operator is "*" which when precededby pointer name refers to its value, and when not it the the address stored...

the syntax for switch case is :

switch(data type)
{
case value1: statements; break;
case value2: statements; break;
