Hello:

I am interested in understanding recursivity; I have not knowingly used this much in my programming. I am reviewing certain areas of OOP in order to learn more and better about areas that...

Thank-you for your reply and help. :)

Yes, I'm sure I'm ready to use this, I just need to understand it a bit better before I make use of it.

Thanks again,
sharky_machine ;)

WolfPack:
when you get the chance, could you please explain this above code to me a bit in your own words?

Thank-you in advance.

Sorry about that. I am writing in C++.

Thanks.

I am working to add some simple user input checking into my program; there are three (3) int choices from a menu-- 1, 2, or 3. The user must choose one of these. I am able to check whether or not...

nanodano:

TY so much for your reply. I followed your suggestion(s) and used:

* setting test condition in printshippos to checkflag >= 0


That was the solution :cheesy:

Thanks again. ...

nanadano:

Here is the code you requested. Thank-you for your interest.

Upon fixing the previous error that we discussed, another bug has appeared that I find very odd: It seems that when I run...

Hello:

Something as seemingly simple as an If\ Else statement is causing me much trouble and I cannot figure out where the error lies. I believe it to be in:
The variable scope
The use of the...

WolfPack:

Thank-you for you reply. I tried a few things from the suggested thread. In reference to the anti-virus consideration-- that sounds unusual-- I did not try it, but I appreciate the...

Hello:

I am having a bit of problem with logic in a segment (marked in blue) of this code: the indicated code should simply update the variable upon each pass of the function as it runs; the...

Solved-- I think.

I have come to point in my program where I have decided a static variable would be the best option. I am not very familiar with static variable use and have never implemented them often.

The area...

I have been looking at a small bit of code concerning the use of static with variables; I thought I understood the use of static, but I find this code confusing:

//: C03:Static.cpp
// Using a...

~S.O.S.~,

You are correct about this-- thanks again :)

Ty, ~S.O.S~

I will do this.

TY for your reply.

I have tried to find documentation specifying what the time output is: milliseconds?

I am incorporating clock_t into a current build; I need a simple way to measure time elapsed; it is not so important the source of elapsed (CPU) time or even its starting point (zero would be ideal,...

Hi iamthwee:

Creating art with computers is great, but I am not so versed in it yet. I really only play around with it in Photoshop, etc. I am amazed at the level and quality of art being...

Finding the solution for this is not going so well. I always miss the little things and I think it is the same in this case; I made a copy of the project last night so I could hack at it freely and...

Hi:

I use Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition; its very nice yet very complex. Honestly, it goes without saying that I do not use 1/4 of the option features but what is cool about that is that I...

Yes, well said. Agreed

OK-- Thank-you -- will do.

two comments: (1) srand() should only be called once throught the lifetime of the program. Best place to put it is near the beginning of main() function.
And, I can simply call this from within...

I knew what you meant-- I earned the basket weaving merit badge in Boy Scouts back in the day! :o :lol:

Ancient Dragon:

Cool. I will move and edit the RNG like said.

Ancient Dragon: LOL, yes, true! "basket weaving":lol:

(** This post was inspired by a recent post I read where a reply suggested the indenting of all code.)

I am guilty of this, I'll be honest. I know it is important to indent and indent properly,...

Greetings:

A simple question that has me stuck: Program runs, calls function, function runs... Return to Main? This last area is where it fails. No errors, just no control returned to Main.cpp at...

I am planning to implement #include <time.h> in my program. I have never yet used this include. I will be using this in order to track a 24-hour period, or at least that is what I wish to do; I...

Thank-you for your reply. I tried your suggestion, adding

Look::Look() {
}

Look::~Look(){
}

TY for your reply. I appreciate you clarifying this. I am a bit confused at this point with classes in general; I have been working at this one area of the code for some time now...

Hi:

I made some adjustments to the compiler; I turned off the "precompiled headers" option (suggested on MSDN) and ran the build-- same, old error from before :
