Thanks WaltP for the suggestion. After reading a couple of posts made to this forum indicating that DEV-C++ would be amongst the preferred free compilers, I've actually already decided to switch over...

Gunner54, what OS are you running?

What WolfPack said, and please post your code so "we" can see what the issue(s) might be - help "us" help you and your problem will likely be resolved a lot quicker.

Just not to overlook the obvious, but did you search the directory where you installed Dev-C++ for "iostream" to make sure iostream.h and iostream.cpp are there?

Thanks for the link Dave, quite helpful. BTW, even though I've only read the first few paragraphs, the externally linked 100 pg. pdf file promises to be a very interesting read! Thanks again! :)

That makes a lot of sense Ancient Dragon - thanks for the reply!

Hi All,

Is the naming convention typically used for C++ vector arrays, with multi-word identifiers, to use an underscore between the words?

I'm finishing up a C++ course offered by the local...

In this thread (http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread46884.html) WolfPack provide me a link to the online reference manual (http://www.digitalmars.com/ctg/sc.html) for the free Digital Mars...

Just got a reply message from my instructor - and now I've got a wee bit of egg on my face!!! :( He had a link on the course website detailing everything I needed to know, and then some, right from...

Well, guess what? There was an extra end-of-line character in each of the last two string assignments, and that was the issue all along. Funny, I read and re-read that code listing a dozen times or...

Hi All,

The program below is returning the following data...

A
1
AB
(empty line)

Hi Dave,

First off, thanks for the timely reply posts - very much appreciated! As for your latter two points, now that you've brought them up, I can see how they would be - and will be - good...

Thanks! I could have sworn that I had written programs already that used cin with multi-alphabetic characters and whitespaces, but, after opening around 50 files or so to check, all of them had cin...

Hi All,

If the user is to input text - alphabetic or numeric, when is it advantageous to use getline rather than cin? It's obviously easier to code something like cin >> favoriteVacationSpot; than...

:cool: looks like that worked - had my doubts at first, since there's a space between the two file names; figured the compiler would only recognize the first file - I'll have to finish the exercise...

Hi All,

Short story: How do you compile two .cpp files at once?

Text excerpt: "Step-by-Step 4-1: 1. Open apstring.cpp and stringex.cpp into a project in your compiler. The file apstring.h must...

Obviously that's good advice for someone who's decided to commit to programming, which I haven't. I'll look into a specific IDE when I don't have to follow course requiremets - for now I have to use...

For those who may be interested:

TextPad (http://www.textpad.com/products/textpad/index.html) - This apparently is a "shareware" product - please remember to pay the requested $29.00 [USD], if you...

Hi WolfPack,

OK, I'll definitely watch out for that in the future - I used notepad and, to the best of my recollection, I didn't use tabbing at all, but maybe a couple inadvertent ones got by! :) ...

Thanks a lot Wolfpack, exactly the kind of info I was looking for!!! It may be a trivial program - not surprising since we've only covered the first three chapter of an novice level C++ text - but...

Basically, exactly what I put in the thread title.

With that I see that I could have declared and initialized the "cutoff" variable in one statement rather than two. Which then begs the question,...

Hi All,

As a non-required, ungraded, "activity", I coded the following program, and I'm wondering if there was an easier way for me to of solved the problem. Please note that this is only a...

Hi Sunnypalsingh, Ancient Dragon & ivanCeras,

Thanks for all of your help, it's much appreciated, and it did answer the questions I had! :)

Hi all,

I'm transistioning from the networking end of things and moving to the programming side, so, even though I've been around here for quite awhile, I have a pretty basic queston: since the...

thanks 4 ur email camelNotation - i wish i could help but unfortunately i don't know anything, as yet, about c++

Look's like I stand corrected - pleasantly surprised you to took the time to make another reply Bob.

My other post on this homework stuff pretty much sums up how I feel.

LOL! OK, with an attitude like that, just what CENTURY do you think it's going to be before Bob helps you with an assignment again? ROFLOL! :D

the ah, promiscuous Alice post

ROFLMBO!!! one in particular stands out ... something about virues, or lack there of! ;)

that was my point *exactly*!!!

Pardon me, Bob, but don't you think a pm on that would have been more appropriate?

i dunno, Alice could be kinda funny at times! granted most of the time she was definitely a blonde's blonde tho! ;)

nice site Roberdin

gosh, to be 14 again - with your moxie Thamior!!! :-)

Guys could wear a pajama.

yeah, i new about the diffs btwn the Intel Complex sets and the Motorolla Reduced sets but wasnt quite sure there was a Magic Compiller out there that would, well, work magic! ;)

why am i going 2 ask this question? i know the answer! so why am i still compelled to ask? curiousity? yes! fascination? yes! real of possiblities?.... i know assembler is a pc based language,...

AWESOME!!! even any1 decides to check out the pricing please post... not what i want to get into @this point, but it does look VERY interesting - and madd kewl!!! 8)

LOL! didnt c the smiley @ the end - sorry! ...and i WAS wearing my glasses! ;)
