Ah, thanks the explanation by Narue explains it all in detail. Thanks again!

What is missing here is an example of a text entry followed by a numeric entry. I tried to combine the code presented and should the text exceed its length of 19 and have numbers at the end, ouch!

Okay, I got the message, I will post more stuff in the every so lively C forum!!!!

In Python it would be very simple, the url string for the search being the most complicated part ...

Most people call it HTML Scraping. The programs are called HTML Scrapers. Easy to do with Python, don't know about C.

A couple of excellent code snippets by Dave Sinkula on this very subject:

This thread is 3 years old, so it might have been read that many times!

Somewhere in the C compiler details it states that the code has to finish with a newline. Dev-Cpp's GNU compiler and some other compilers give a warning, not an error. Many IDEs put the new line in...

I borrowed this from C#, where you can easily send output, that normally goes to the ugly black console window, to a nice looking Windows MessageBox with an OK button to close after you read your...

Not better, but cute, create your own display window with a Windows message box ...

Dave Sinkula, a very talented C programmer, has given quite a bit of attention to this issue. Take a look at one or more of his code snippets at DaniWeb:

Only the world renowned modesty practiced by the inhabitants of the state of Minnesota must have prevented Dave from mentioning his many excellent articles on this very subject ......

Sin-da-cat, I can see how you got frustrated! To do a qsort on an array of strings is not the easiest coding chore. Arrays of strings in C drove me to adopt Python long ago! Well, here is modified...

Follow your values with a couple of test printf() statements to help you find the errors! Also use scanf("%d", &av[y]);

Your function avg() should really calculate and return a double.

Are you trying to printf() a double into an integer format specifier %d?
You could cast to an integer, but it looks like you are flirting with the integer size limits.

You are declaring functions residential_rate(), commercial_rate(), industrial_rate() also as floats of the same name in function main(). Remove those variables and it will work!

Oops, I was too...

I like to do simple C++ things ...
// split a string into its words and load them into a vector

I assume your assignment is to enter 4 weights and calculate the total weight and the average weight. For some odd reason you have found code to calculate weighted averages and threw that in with...

Now that is sweet, except I wouldn't use exit (1), but would rather stay in the input loop.

One mild problem from past experience, if the users enters a floating point number, this loop spins out of control. Give it a try, it's good exercise.

Here is a small project, go through all the functions listed at:

and come up with a code sample of a practical application for...

binary 10010 is calculated as 1*16+0*8+0*4+1*2+0*1 = decimal 18
hence b = b<<(len-k) does the multiplication by 1,2,4,8,16 ...

sum = sum + n * b;

Good for you, but shorter is not always better. There is no error trapping, or explanation/comment how it works!

A nice improvement by dilip.mathews! Thanks!

Thanks Dani,
I trust it's you that cleaned up that old &amp;&amp --> should be && problem.

Why do folks assume that old is bad?
The win GUI tutorial at http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/ is great! There is a heck of a learning curve, mostly because the underlying API was written by MS...

Take the string and spell it in reverse. Compare the two strings, if they match you got a palindrome. Now show us some code!

Generally, you create your window and other controls in WinMain() after the call to RegisterClass() and before the start of the event loop. I prefer to put these things into their own functions to...

What bumsfeld means is that &amp;&amp; should be && (and)

This code shows you how to build a multiline story string that should display similarly to way it shows in the code. It should be relatively easy to maintain.

Do I have to spell it out for you? This short C code will do just that. It will spell out an integer number in English words. The banks do that on large checks, and it would be nice to get one of...

Not sure, if this is what you want for displaying a BMP file:

You got that sort of backwards. First you find a customer with a problem, then you write the software.

Moved this duplicate to here!

The function strcmp(string1, string2) compares the two strings, string1 and string2, and returns an integer:

< 0 (string1 is less than string2)

0 (string1 is identical to string2)

> 0 ...

like the comment says this turns for instance the character '1' to a numeric value 1

Just my imagination, since you could use ( a, a + 10 ) to load the array to a vector and than sort. I imagined cutting out the middleman, in this case the vector. Comes from playing around with...
