I couldn't imagine any bit of competent help being not worth while, but then again I've been surprised before.

However, the fact that he offers it in 6DVDs or VHS tapes makes me wonder when the...

you dont need to use the visual studio environment for .NET but it sure does make coding a hell of a lot easier :P

post up some of your source and the exact issues are that you are having.

fastest/funnest way (for me at least):

find a friend or ask your parents for a very simple program that they would like to see

* Temperature calculator
* Recipe Program (for saving drink...

I use Microsoft Visual Studio Professional

if you are just starting out i would recommend the express versions.

I've dabbled around in other IDEs and with other compilers but i happen to like...

cool because i like starwars otherwise i am not sure of it's purpose.

you could however generate positive values and multiply by -1 :)

Aside from the major syntax and naming issues:

thats because your array of 20 looks like


Rudolf00000000000000
--------------------

// each 0 is actually a null character

this statement is entirely different from what you have in your code.


/*
toupper returns an INT value
toupper(a) will return 65 the ascii value for an uppercase A
*/

// the following...

What effort have you given this?

Can you post any code?

Some great tutorials have been posted that should get you started.

your code worked and compiled fine for me (besides a typo in your post)

what exactly are you referring to as not working?


cout<<toupper(*pos)<<" "; //without cast it doesn't work, why?...

I've learned that what i actually write for clients and what I learned in class and books is pretty darn far apart and for the most part the instructor has become too far seperated from reality to...

Here is a version I wrote based on your code and heavily commented :)

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int main( void )
{
ifstream inFile; // create a file...

Make sure to test if the stream is open

inFile.is_open()

if it's not open your vowels.txt file is in the wrong directory.

that being said if you want I can PM you a working version, a...

It can be tricky, there is a playSound function in C++ but it's not all that powerful so you may be best suited to look for a library to do that, or feel free to get your hands dirty with some...

yeah...okay fine. i did this for another site buddy ;)

lol sure, that works i wrote that in about ~5min before because i just wanted to solve a problem real fast, optimizations will come later when i get to the much harder problems on projecteuler.net...

hehe, i just wrote a counter that will go all the way up to 10001 instantly, though i havnt tested it for higher values.

super simple and absolutely NO goto's.


#include <iostream>...

:D
which came first: the chicken or the egg!!

actually it does work

assume a = 3 and b = 7

a = a + b

a = 10
b = 7

b = a - b

yes it can be a bit of a pain at first but using the windows api it can be done :)

this is of course in windows, you need to specify the OS for a more specific answer.

when it comes time to save the high score read in the pre-existing scores and check them against the current score, if the current score is a better score then save, if not do not write out to file...

i do believe that both the language and VM are created using C++.

why not just start with C++


#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main ( void )
{
cout << "hello world";
}

not quite sure on that last part, but i am guessing C# has a similar behavior for formatting strings.

working on my setup here
#include <iostream>
#include <map>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
class x
{ char str [40];
public:
x () {strcpy (str,"");}
x (char *s)...

languages i would recommend (through countless hours of interviews and job searches) are C, C++, C#, and Possibly ASP.NET (if you are interested in web based applications).

I have found that...

I am pretty sure they are. If you go to java's website and grab the SDK's and tool kits they all come packed as C++

i've worked with clients in which they never knew what they wanted, so matter how much questioning and work we did he always wanted "more" he always wanted a new expensive feature added, which i was...

here try this one then. VB sucks, the language is weak and there is no supprise that VB works better as a scripting language (dur VBScript) than VB works as a software language. hope that clears...

basically.

hahah would not be supprised if billy gates himself wrote that.

i'm not a windows basher but billy gates sure does love his visual basic even though it works better for scripting.

i am sure we could both find people to argue both sides of the fence ;)

it's no use for either one of us to argue it, but i am basing this on personal trial/error using VB and VB's basic...

VB reads like a childrens book.

the grammar and structure is poorly created.

DIM foo AS something = something;

or instead of using the "this" keyword it uses ME

awesome


cheers!

i did a google on the error you posted but didnt get much (put it in quotes to hope to find someone with the same error)

doing a little rearranging this was the best i could find

no concern of mine, do some searching around online and you will find a great wealth of information on both strtok and strtok_s

cheers.

post your code please :)

i had read online that strtok may not be safe and the better version to use is strtoke_s

after messing around with strtok_s for a bit i found that this version was a bit more easy to use.

i think he/she may be asking what is the maximum ammount of information a char * can take.

or what is the max buffer size for the getline statement
