ok i re read that and it isnt clear...here is something a little more clearer!

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int proto(int, int);
int proto2(int);

int main()

Hello just finished re- reading chapter 3...about functions... I learnt more of this from reading it when i was at home than when im at uni! Amazing!!

However I get a compile error saying

'not...

but your paying all that money for someone to teach you are you not??

hmm could you not do any for c? simple ones? , since like you lot im at uni and only get the standard sux ones out of the book

basically if a user enteres a - followed by the numbers then the statment will look for the sign and says that the sign is a -.

if its not a minus then the number enetered must be a plus

upon trying to make the code more powerful ....

int n = 0;
if ( string[n] < 0 )
{
cout << "The sign is: -" << '\n';
}
else
{
cout << "The sign is: +"...

intresting, is they anyway i can deeper understand these pointers? I get everything else i've been taught but hate to use pointers since i don't know how to use them... A nice tutorial with examples...

I get a load of garbage which is already in memory with this code:


char string;
const char *source ;

source = &string;

cin >> string;

Cool, that looks good, but if a user wanted to enter data into the array, since you've used a const pointer to an array of characters it wouldnt work would it? but upon taking out the const and...

umm, we havent been taught that way, is they not a for loop i could use to tell it to stop... ie

for (int i = 0; i !='.'; i++ )

i know that does work but something amounst those lines?

Thanks for the replies, just wondering if you can split up a string of numbers? ... say all the numbers before the decimal point...into string1
and all the others after the decimal point into string...

Intresting topic we have here, I'm wondering if theres a away to just print out the values after the decimal point.

This is what I thought -

If you entered it into a string you'd have some...
