Hey firenet
You had mentioned a way to delete a record from the file (using sequential access). I tried to do it with random access (i.e seekg and seekp). The program can't delete the last record....

Since no one cared to answer my thread posted earlier, :mad: I'm posting the question again.
I have this project to do and I want to use coloured text and some simple shapes, etc. But the problem...

You don't HAVE to define NUM_TURNS as static. Defining it as static makes it common between all objects of that class. So if you have
GamePlayer a1;
GamePlayer a2;
then, a1.NUM_TURNS and...

No wait. You are trying to compare individual letters with strings when you use
words[i]. strcmp() can only accept string arguments.

Did you include string.h?

No comparison! I'm doing both subjects right now. And calculus drives me nuts! I mean its pretty awe-inspiring but it never gets into my head. C++ is a different matter. I thoroughly enjoyed every...

I have this project to do and I want to use coloured text and some simple shapes, etc. But the problem is that my compiler does not support graphics.h or dos.h. Even my tclite doesn't (I usually use...

I don't get why C++ pros see red when they see void main(). Can someone explain why intmain() is good and void main() bad?

Well, you can try this code, but I don't know if it will work beyond n=9.

#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>

/* This program creates a half pyramid of nos. Created on 12.6.2k3. */
...

Chainsaw's code is correct except for one thing, you add j to the sum, not i;

#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>

void main()
{
int n;
cin>>n;
int i, j;

I didn't know I had to close all variables connected to the file to be deleted. It worked after I did that. Thanks a ton Dave. :)

I'm trying to use sequential binary file editing in C++. I use a temporary file. I have to make the changes in the file by storing the modified data in the temp file. Then I delete the original file...
