I know this is the C forum, but if it were the C++ forum, it would be a different forum.

I also know this thread is 1-1/2 years old, but if it were a new thread, it would be a different thread.

is this an assignment for a C++ class? or something you're really trying to do in real life?

if this is a real application, I'd say you're using the wrong language and you should seriously...

if you want to round the number, then you use "setprecision(<n>)" or the format specifier "%.<n>f" for "printf()" where <n> is the number of digits you want to round to. E.g., the value 1.66667...

it's just LaTeX markup tags. any reference will describe the basics

and you don't need a "Big Number Library". you dont even need a long int. 10,000 is easily represented by a regular integer

the way to approach this problem is by summation:

okay.

I'm calling it now (http://api.ning.com/files/c9uZEV94Dfl02UsMWOeU0mMYYuI3kIIIhJsKF-OM8rIDcZdAxqBg7eZkp47l2ccdOCN*tpI96VyrZW3g9MGVwR8QKg1wT-qR/waahmbulance2.jpg).

(1) don't use conio.h

(2) do post your questions in the appropriate forum: this is C++ code, not C

er.. i mean "distributive property"

thanks Dave :$

use the additive property:

(a * m) + (a * n) = a * (m + n)

example:
result = (a << 2) + (a << 4);
// result now contains the sum, 4a + 16a = 20a

cout << a << " times 20 = " << result <<...

there's your problem: nothing is truly random. some things are just less predictable than others.

the fact is, you're never goign to generate truly random numbers, even if something like that...

bull crap.

you did not just spontaneously "figure out" how to write the code for Q4, and yet still remain completely helpless to even begin Q1 - Q3. because Q4 combines all the elements of...

wait, what?

its been three days ... why haven't you guys finished helping this kid write his spyware program, yet?

who do i give neg rep to?

hi everyone.. i have to build a satellite navigation and control system in any language.. i have no clues on how to begin this.. can anyone plz send me an algorithm on controlling liquid propellant...

ahah. he doesn't know C at all and barely knows C++, and yet he just performed the impossible -- with proof! call the ACM journals! prepare the honorary PhDs!

seriously though, where DO these...

okay...

someone's gotta give me a cookie for that bit of cleverness.

you can call Perl scripts from C/C++, but it's not particularly useful if you plan on distributing your code to any other machines.

because you'll either need the full Perl installation (plus...

yeah ... i'm just not seeing where the "Urgency" is here

i thought someone was bleeding on the floor.

yeah, because as we all know, Napoleon loved to make puns in English.
