Oh and I fixed my little C program to correctly add in the bbCode for preprocessor directives and comments :-)... I really detest DaniWeb's "You have thirty minutes to edit your post" rule :/

Well why didn't you say any of this in your first post? As far as I know, "stdio.h" is part of the standard C library. I had to infer from your ugly ass code what you were trying to do and in what...

Hello... your code... is well.... um, yeah... here is a very basic example of how to get input from the keyboard in C (in the console) that I whipped up just for you

Why can't you program it yourself?

and locality of reference could be poor

I was about to do your homework for you... but 4 frowning smilies, two of which were crying, just wasn't convincing enough... sorry -- Have you asked your teacher for help? Perhaps they have office...

Oh, I think my way is lovely thank you very much, even though this would have been cleaner :-)


while ((j = fgetc(f)) != EOF)

Nope. I think that is enough help. I showed you exactly the type of loop you needed. Why don't you try looking at the man pages for all the functions you are unfamiliar with. You don't need to be...

tmp.c:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
int err;
int i = 0, j;
FILE *f;

Blasphemous! May Dennis Ritchie have mercy on your souls.

printf(4) is NOT C++, quit using it.

Have you ever heard of a stack? And what the hell is with void main()?

Here's a tip: First figure out the algorithm, then figure out the data structure.

Which translates into, "Please do my homework for me"

The correct acronym is FIFO (First-in, First-out). It's important when working with data structures and algorithms to use the correct terminology. Even though I was able to infer what you meant, a...

Also, it's good to input different values of N (a scale of values from low to high) to prove the running time is correct. The improvement would be be seen over a log / N graph. You should also do...

struct timeval

One interesting way to figure out optimizations is through experimentation. You can time each pass for each implementation, record results and then plot them side by side on a graph. You can make...

I'd love to help but could you please be more informative? What do you mean by "I can't get anything to work"? How many passes of quicksort do you do before you do insertion sort?

Why not use fgetc? I don't really use C++ constructs, so in C it would be (and I'm just writing this on the fly so expect some errors):

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main() {

post code so I can help you:)

In all honesty, I'm using C++ with C too right now because I'm writing a binary file reader to read and load Lightwave objects into a C++ class/object representation (so I can start using my...

You're using C++ but you are using the std:string? #include <string>

If you want to do strings C-style which is a pointer to an array of chars like you have you first want to malloc() and then...

Want not just use a database to store the information??

I'm sorry, at a closer look you are using Windows...I thought you were actually using C on a Unix System. I'm not sure how you'd do it with the Win32 API, I'd imagine it is quite similar.

system actually starts a new process, does what you want, then closes that process. in fact, if you really think about it, what does it mean to "change directory"; "change directory" or cd is a...
