:D

Thanks. Its all working fine now.
One little query though, when I have to terminate the string how do i do it?
like this :

temp[i]='/0';


or

I have been trying to concatenate two strings declared in the form of pointers i.e.

char* chars;

But the program crashes...
Here is the code:

char *chars1="ankit";
char...

Those from India would probably understand better...hehe...

Hi everyone,

I was trying to setup MySql with Cygwin so that i can create and work on databases using my Windows OS.
After gruesome hours of googling, I am still confused as to how to do that. I...

The main problem is inputting the expression...I need help on how to input the expression without the need to press enter after each operand or operator...Any help would be gr8!

I guess i was in a hurry while writing this post, so i did mess up. Heading should have been Calculater in C++. Anyways, the code that i posted is not working and I can't seem to figure out whats...

I am starting to develop a calculator in C++ which accepts the expression in the form:
2+3 or
2/3 ,etc. ( for the time being, only two operands and one operator) Once i get that done, I will begin...

Ya rite. thnx. I will keep that in mind. Still waiting for the solution though!:)

I am having a problem in sorting by name. for eg: if given two names Sameer and Sean, I want to print Sameer and not Sean. It needs to check character by character. I have to extend this to a greater...

right...


I have trouble reading the code myself...lol. I sometimes overlook indenting while writing code since i am so eager to go on continuing with the next thing...

How can i include graphics in my C program which is compiled in windows compiler like Dev-c++?
I was wondering whether it was possible to make the game "SNAKE" in C without using commands like...

I do need a separate digit input :)


Me too, its easier to check for an error

@ Ancient Dragon : Congratulations from my side too and here's what I coded for solving the problem u mentioned...

I was going to code to fix that as soon as my minor problem was solved :), which now is, Thnx

thnx for pickin out a couple of glitches.

I was more intent on mentioning the movie the quote is frm :)

I think this is definitely the method to input the category number and acc. copy the category name into the string. I dont think you even need a string array.
for eg:

int category;...

I was starting off with making the game " Cows and Bulls".
And to start off i am having a problem in inputting the 4 digit number in a mannar that it appears in form of "*" on the screen. similar...

UR rite:)
Actually I just copied the code right from the link and didn't bother to change the length since I was more concerned with the method.

So does C/C++ do that? That means we always use return 0 to return the value to the OS so that the OS understands that the program run was a success. And it must be portable to use return 0 i think

After reading the various methods of clearing the screen, I guess there is not a single method which extends portability to the language:eek:
Or is there?

So I think there is no point in trying...

Thanx!

I agree wholly with u, graphics in C/C++ really suck but clearscreen is an often used function in C/C++. How can you do without it? When I make a menu, its impossible to work without clear...

Really? I was getting fond of system functions. What do u mean by OS api functions? Can u give me an example. Like for Dev C++, i m using the system("cls") command for clearing the console, what shud...

What you write is definitely correct. But dont you think C/C++ programming is mostly OS and platform dependent. So considering what developing and programming we all are doing, its always dependent...

I absolutely knew that was coming! :)
I have learnt a lot since then. I assume you would have been unable to compile the program( due to the high volume of errors with your compiler and lack of...

But whats a freestanding program?Isnt every program run on top of a controlling program( i.e. OS )? Or do you mean writing an OS itself?

and is return 0 used because it returns the value 0 to OS...

When I wrote this I was pretty amature ( before having learned many things here ) so I am quite sure your going to find a million mistakes in there, anyway i am attaching the code which I compiled in...

I wanted you people's point of view on this project I made in C++ sometime back...I would be glad to recieve comments from anyone and everyone...Pls do check it out...So that I can know the quality...

A big thank you!

Hurray! Thanx a lot Ravalon you finally helped me out! The sscanf() method is the one I used. This problem had me stuck for quite a while...thnx again!!!:)
And i definitely will take your advice on...

nvm? dont really know about pellesC :rolleyes:

but does it matter which compiler your using? the syntax remains the same.
Oh ! so 'getch()' is not there :), do tell if the program works without getch()

Thnx a ton! I never knew I could use the same file for storing different types of data. thnks. I tried your first method and it worked just fine.

thnx Ravalon,
ok heres the code in which it isnt working. I might sound stupid but by making certain manipulations this program sometimes works and sometimes doesnt work! This one does NOT work. It...

Hmm...I dont really get you can you be more explainatory?
How do i read till "EOF" in case of reading structure from a file. I use the following statement to read from file.

Are you sure you wrote the exact code? Because I am using Dev C++ and the program runs absolutely fine. So I am not sure why these errors are cropping up :eek:

It is in loop so it prints the entire text; I dont get u, it just prints one character at a time
try the code, it works :confused:

why dont u use getc and putc instead of fgets , the code would be so much less complicated


#define INFILE "config.txt"
