windows and linux

[gampalu]

Hi all!

I'm working in a project in visual c++ 6.0 with the console application and I want to ask you how to create a program that has portability to work in both platforms, windows and linux.

Another thing, which function we use to round a double to the nearest int number?

Thanks,

Write 100% standard C++, or conditionally compile two different programs customized for the two operating systems.

You'll need to write it yourself, or use a clever workaround. Alternatively, if all you need is to print the rounded double, any formatted output option will do it for you (which opens up ideas for those clever workarounds I was talking about).

Eww! That would just be sick.

How do I know what is 100% standard C++?>You'll need to write it yourself, or use a clever workaround. Alternatively, if all you need is to print the rounded double, any formatted output option will do it for you (which opens up ideas for those clever workarounds I was talking about).

Maybe using a workaround like this:

double dAUX;
int iOUT;
...
if ( (floor(dAUX) - dAUX) < (ceil(dAUX) - dAUX) )
			iOUT = floor(dAUX);
else
			iOUT = ceil(dAUX);

no?

Not bad, but where you say (floor(dAUX) - dAUX) < (ceil(dAUX) - dAUX) , I think you mean (dAUX - floor(dAUX)) < (ceil(dAUX) - dAUX) .

Personally, I prefer floor(dAUX + 0.5) , if I want to always round .5s in the positive direction.

I meant like I had but with this: fabs(floor(dAUX) - dAUX)) < fabs(ceil(dAUX) - dAUX) Personally, I prefer floor(dAUX + 0.5) , if I want to always round .5s in the positive direction.

Your suggestion is much more simple than mine, I like it, thanks Rashaki Fol and Narue ;)
