First: Learn how to use [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/announcement8-3.html"]codetags [/URL]when posting code here. It makes your code easier to read. Without reviewing all of your code, I did notice one problem: [code] .... scanf("%d",&ch); { case 1: .... [/code] I suspect that you mean something like: [code] ... scanf("%d",&ch); switch(ch); { case 1: …

Here's how to do it: [code=cplusplus] int choices[2] = {2,3}; //choose between 2 and 3 // Seed the random generator with srand() // Use rand() to pick either 0 or 1 and store in variable x int L = choices[x]; [/code] Google for srand() and rand() to find out how …

[QUOTE=Vallnerik;994913] The reason I ask this, is because my constructor is very large and I have like 40 variables in the constructor initialization list.

If your teacher taught you this, (s)he should be fired. [URL="http://www.gidnetwork.com/b-66.html"]void main[/URL] [URL="http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/articles/10515/"]clrscr[/URL] And use cin.get() instead of getch(); It's a non-standard function. Also update your Turbo compiler to something from the last 10 years by downloading [URL="http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads"]code::blocks[/URL] (free) Now for your question: There's no way to know what the …

You're not checking if your file is indeed open en ready for reading, so change this: [CODE=cplusplus]if(!fin) {[/CODE] to: [CODE=cplusplus]if(!fin.is_open() || !fin.good()) {[/CODE] Then change this: [code=cplusplus] while(!fin.eof()) { // Get the current line of the document getline(fin, programLine); // error occurrs here [/code] with this: [code=cplusplus] while(getline(fin, programLine)) { …

I'm wondering: Why did you, again, post code without using [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/misc-explaincode.html"]code-tags[/URL]? William Hemsworth specifically asked you in post #2? Also: marking your thread 'solved' when you still have a question won't get you replies. You should start a new thread with your new question. And this time use code-tags when …

So what was wrong with using [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread224570.html"]ShellExecute[/URL]?

you should change [icode]filereader.readFileInformation(filename.c_str());[/icode] to: [icode]filereader.readFileInformation(filename);[/icode]. Your function expects a std::string, so no need to convert it to a char array first. Because you do that here: [icode]infile.open(filename.c_str(), ifstream::in);[/icode] Next time use [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/misc-explaincode.html"]code-tags[/URL] when posting code.

Can't explain it as good as Narue does [URL="http://eternallyconfuzzled.com/tuts/datastructures/jsw_tut_avl.aspx"]here[/URL], so you should take an hour or two to read the article. Everything will be clear afterwards :)

How about: [CODE]std::string message = "Error "+ name + " sucks"; MessageBox(NULL,message.c_str(),"error",MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);[/CODE]

did you seed the random-generator with srand() ? Something like: [code=cplusplus] srand(time(NULL)); cout << rand()%v.size(); [/code]

Here's a [URL="http://www.codeguru.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-403977.html"]thread [/URL]on the conversion. Can't test it because I don't use managed code.

Here's a [URL="http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/files/"]tutorial[/URL]. Read it, and come back when you have questions/difficulties.

[QUOTE=Darth Vader;993195]I am about to convert this 2D vector to managed code where I instead will use a List<String>. The problem is that I dont know how to do that, I would be happy to see how that could be done.[/quote] Short answer: you can't. Vectors and Lists are both …

[QUOTE=calleriq;992913]Thank you everybody, I got it,[/quote] I cannot imagine that the above code would compile. One thing I spot is that you write [icode]while[/icode] with a capital W (While). That won't compile for example. Also: [URL="http://www.gidnetwork.com/b-66.html"]void main[/URL] [QUOTE=calleriq;992913]thanks god[/QUOTE] So did God give you working code then? :icon_wink:

I have removed your empty() function because it made no sense at all. It's no different form the empty() function that a std::vector has. I also included: [icode]#include <algorithm>[/icode] because it is required for "max_element", "find" etc. I also fixed your warnings. I've put in comment what I've changed and …

With paint?

Your compiler isn't lying. You didn't delcare a, b,c or d here: [code] int main(void) { DivSales divSales; divSales.addTotal(a,b,c,d); [COLOR="Red"]// <--- here[/COLOR] [....] [/code] You should call the function with either numbers, or declare a,b,c,d: [CODE=cplusplus] int main(void) { DivSales divSales; divSales.addTotal(1,2,3,4); // with numbers divSales.printValue(); cin.get(); }[/CODE] [I]or[/I] [CODE=cplusplus] …

I might have an idea how to get newbies to use code-tags: Why don't you replace the (rather vague)[B] #[/B] symbol in the replybox with the word "code" or "code-tags". Some other forums I visit have this and it appears that they have a better newbie/codetag ratio :)

[QUOTE=daviddoria;989341]I guess it was a gdb bug? I compiled the latest svn and it gets past that line now with no problems.[/QUOTE] [I]Or[/I] it's undefined behavior, which will run in 99% of the cases (for example) and crash in 1%. Show the line of code directly after the line you've …

I always keep a list of links that I frequently use on Daniweb. This is not the first time a useful feature is no longer linked to, although it still exists :) . Here you go: [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/search.php"]http://www.daniweb.com/forums/search.php[/URL]

[QUOTE=minigweek;987049]Close. But still it will give wrong output. I will drop a hint. [code] for(int i=0;i<=5;i++) { //something goes in here... } cout>>i; [/code] guess what is the output of i ?[/QUOTE] I'll take a guess: Compiler error. :icon_wink: You probably meant: [icode]cout [B]<<[/B] i;[/icode]

You really aren't the sharpest knife in the shed are you? Why don't you listen to good advice [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/post960283-5.html"]when someone gives it to you[/URL]?

[QUOTE=marco93;985632]... and [B]wrong [/B]code ...[/QUOTE] Why? For once, tell us [I]why [/I]you think this code is wrong instead of leaving a piece of sh*t comment and then run and hide when you get a reply.

What have you done so far? Here's tutorial on [URL="http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/lesson5.html"]switch statements[/URL]. Read it and try to start for yourself. Then come back with a specific question.

You mean something like: [code=c] unsigned char a = '0'; unsigned int b =a; [/code] 'b' will now be 48. That's the [URL="http://asciitable.com/"]ASCII[/URL]-value of '0' (zero)

[QUOTE=ithelp;980334]That code will not compile[/QUOTE] First : DdoubleD was pointing out a flaw, he wasn't giving a suggestion. Second: Why wouldn't this compile?

You're using try and catch, so that's a good thing. How and where you throw and catch is also a matter of personal taste. Some people (like me) try a small piece of code and catch if something goes wrong. Some other people just wack their code in one big …
