OpenGL is of interest to me too, I've found some helpful tutorials, info, docs at this site. I'll be taking a course soon on OpenGL so I kind of backed off of it until then. Here's the site to...

Okay, didn't look at it that way. Since it is a member of a class it's just another name for an object's function. I don't plan on implementing this type of funciton naming, it just caught my...

Can the main() call be embedded within a class? At work yesterday I caught a snippet somewhere, and I noticed main() was inside a class, something like the following:


class personnel
{

First off your s[i].quiz1 is the way to go, but your function can not see it unless you either pass it via function argument or make it external. Here's how I got your program to work. Try making...

Now I think I get it, I was basically offsetting the location I was pointing to by 20. Here I was assuming I needed to put the length of each string in the brackets, because I think empty brackets...

Thanks, that fixed it. I was just under the impression that since it was an array of strings that I needed the address operator in the strcpy() function, and the only way I could get that to work...

I have a function in one of my programs that picks a random state from a list. It then puts this random state in a structure array. However the name selected from the list does not match the name...

Many thanks Dave, compiled everything okay and I was able to run the .exe with an expected output.

I'm still learning so this may not be the optimal way of doing this, but here is my "fix".

// data list of possible states
char datalist[30][20]=
{
"complete",
"considering",
...

I looked up this error and here is what I found.

Error:
pure specifier can only be specified for functions

Suggestion
In a class definition, you are not allowed to set variables or call...

I may be wrong on this, but I'll take a crack it. It looks as if you're declaring an int i, assigning it no value which in turn will leave some unknown garbage data. And since your array is...

Sure, I'll post my change when I get home. However, it's more of a workaround, I changed the enum datalist to a string array instead.

Okay, thanks Dave I'll start there when I get off work. But I do have one question pertaining to your recommendation. Do I need to prototype show_employee_data() in main() or is one not needed for...

Okay, I'll try that after I get back from work, hopefully that will clear something up.

Thanks

I tried using #include"tables.cpp" and got the same errors. I'm using a project manager that links them, so I'm not sure if I need to place it there, but I'll leave it there just in case.

After fixing some pointer problems with my structures, I decided to move the functions performed on them to another .cpp file.

Here's the definition in my main.cpp above the int main() of course...

Already figured this one out and sent a PM to see if I can have this thread locked or removed.

I have a program that calls a function to generate an array of structures( data_set ). The structures consist of a char[20] and 2 int data types. Now what I'm trying to do is randomly pick from an...

1) I have ordered a bunch of books from amazon (ie, C++ Primer Plus 5th edition, Direct3D Programming Kickstart, Schaum's Outline of disctete Mathematics, Code Complete 2nd Edition,& the first Game...

I too am just getting started in C++, I've found the Dev-C++ to be a good free compiler. I just started using it and I've been given support on any issues I had thus far. I was surprised at what...

I checked out both of those sites and they have tons of content, thanks guys. I had seen an add for Torque on DaniWeb somewhere and I checked it out too. However, it looks like I need to learn to...

Hello and thanks in advance to your suggestions,

I have taken a few courses on programming, Turbo Pascal and intro to C, about 8 years ago and I'm sure much has changed. So my goal is to get back...
