Odd that when there was an anti-woman joke in this very forum, I was trounced on for saying that it was inappropriate. Christian, you and I are in a different space than most, I fear.

This is sort of a side issue, but I tend to prefer a static method of Foo being the factory, rather than have a seperate class called, in this case, FooFactory. So, the base class would implement

An escape sequence is something like '\n' for newline or '\t' for tab. An 'illegal' escape sequence is one that the compiler has no idea what to do with, like '\k' or something. That can show up if...

Oh, I take that back, it was not a stored-program computer but then neither, apparently, was ENIAC. They both apparently used wires and switches.

That was the first AMERICAN computer, but the English claim to have an earlier WWII stored-program computer that was a code breaker and therefore "secret". It was called "Colossus" and has been...

DOS Batch files (and Windows Command prompt files):

echo Hello World!


The C++ compiler itself (well, SOME compilers like VC):

#pragma message( "Hello, World!" )

Ya, it is a serious investment in time. PPC is easier because it is "mostly Windows" and you can use wizzards and samples to get most of the way to where you want to go.

Which phone OS are you targeting? Symbian? PPC? Palm? Something else? If you are just going to use a 'plain old phone' you will have to see what kinds of development kits you can get for them;...

You might try Google.

'rand' returns an int value in some range. On MSVC it returns a number between 0 and 0x7FFF (32767).

Each time you call it, it returns a different number in a sequence...

If it were me, I'd use sprintf() or one of its variants (_snprintf, say).

char display[30];
_snprintf( display, sizeof(display), "%.2f", empMoney );

And forget about scaleing it manually.

And GetTickCount() should be something like (depending on the system) the number of 'ticks' since the machine booted. On Windows it it milliseconds since boot, and wraps around every month or two...

And is DNA just the storage module for a biologic computer? Let's see, what cells do I need over HERE? Well, consult my handy dandy DNA strand.... SKIN!

It's no bother at all, but you are right I don't understand what you are attempting. It sounds like you are doing something to these 5 copies and then seeing if doing something to them didn't change...

No need, just rename one of the mains to be something else.

You could just say....

if (mask_bit == 1)
result = original;
else
resilt = altered_pixel;

Becuase if the mask is one bit and the pixel is 8 bits you'd have to do some fussing with stuff to...

you have two functions with the name 'main', one in each file. Only one function 'main' can exist in the program. Change one of them.

And, as Naru will tell you if I don't, it should be "int...

So you have pixels represented as some number of shades of gray. And you want to AND them with something? Why AND? Is this some sort of mask where all ON (black? white?) is a mask to include the...

Later in 1941, after an unfortunately-placed resistor supplied the incorrect voltage to a circuit, the first 'bug' was invented.

By January, 2005 the number of bugs in shipping software exceeds...

you could, for example, use printf or sprintf or its ilk. Take a look at the specifications for the strings. You can control right or left justification, leading zeros, number of digits after the...

You want to print this bill on a printer or on disk? On which OS? Are you using MFC, which has extensive printer support built in? Is you app a windowing app or a console app (I assume a windowing...

It would be odd to change after a system reset. Structures are often padded to fit the alignment you specified somewhere (or the default). So

struct
{
char a;
int b;
} foo;

If the...

On a slightly different but related issue is the creative spirit in general. Industry is keen to compare software engineering (ha, even the term is an oxymoron) to industries like construction. ...

Before I saw some of the Studio Ghibli stuff, I too thought Japanese anime was just cheap crap. for one thing, the poor English-speaking actors have to talk so fast there's no time for even...

Dave beat me by one minute! Rats! :-)

Ah, well, great minds.....

Naru, was this intentional?

array[i].name[ i ];

shouldn't it be just

array[i].name;
?

Same with array[i].cardtype[ i ]; it should be array[i].cardtype; I think.

how about:

char filename[ 256 ]; // or MAX_PATH or whatever
...
sprintf( filename, "%d.txt", i ); // now filename will be 1.txt, 2.txt, whatever.

and run the loop from 1 to < 6 or 1 to <= 5,...

Since I have DSL, I use a hardware firewall/router to protect all the machines at home. They're dirt cheap these days.

Here is your culpret:

beg=a[0];
end=a[9];

beg should be the bottom of the range to search, in this case 0.
end should be the top of the range to search, in this case n (not 9).

You are...

" if (*this == rhs)"

is testing the CONTENTS of the two objects (maybe using an operator); so they may not be the same actuall class, but may contain the same thing. For operator = that is not...

What is the question? How to pass the pointers without using globals?

in your main you would have, say,

int numberOfPlayers;
int at_bats, singles, doubles, triples, homers;

Then you can...

your implementation of int size() has no class before it; it should be

int IntArray::size()

and int IntArray::&operator [] ( int i ) const

does not exist in your class definition (instead...

As Dave says, you won't convince any legitemate system to allow:

free("ERROR");

the equivelent of which you are doing by returning a pointer to "ERROR".

It generally works to return NULL if...

Please post the relevent code and tell us what the compile errors ARE.

keep accessing array elements from 0 until the program segfaults, then back up one and that's your limit.

There are several real-time, DOS-like operating systems available, such as RTOS:

These support modern disks and such, perhaps they could be a solution. ...

Thanks for all the replies, and I'm thrilled someone else has seen them!

Ok, I installed the spyware beta, and did a full scan. It's a cool program, by the way, that gives you unprecedented abilities to control startup processes and the like!

The scan found two things...

Well, I only ever see it on this site, and it only started happening recently. I have the Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition, and a hardware firewall. Here's the URL....

On almost every page I visit on this site, every time I visit a page on this site, there is a popup asking if I want to take a survey from one of the sponsors.

Those names sound like virus'. I'd scan them. Also, see if you can find them on your drive and rename them to some temporary name to see if that helps. One way to find recently added virus files...
