Basically all you have to do is set a counter. I assume you're reading the contents of your file in a loop, right? Before the loop do something like:

int counter = 10;
while ( FILE_READ_CONDITIONS && counter>0) {
  // etc
  counter--;
}

Or you could put a counter-- in the while conditions if you like.

>> There was a reason why rhetoric question was specifically written within parenthesis.
Same reason as void :D I got the joke, by the way.
I merely thought the quote correlated to the situation. Anyways, I don't think the OP's coming back. Been fun posting in this thread!

>> I have had all sorts of boyfriends
I still think you're a dude... probably because of the "drink her pretty".

>> girls like to be wooed, look (not stare) at them,
Boys like to stare though...

That's crazy, AD. Not crazy, I guess, but I'm 21 so by my age you'd've been married for two years!

>> How can something correct be corrected? ( Rhetoric question )
"Try again. Fail again. Fail better"

Thanks. I've 7 days left though :D

I dunno... The president should do more than act like a leader, but unfortunately the only way to determine their suitability is to put them in the chair. They should give each candidate a small state. Put them in charge for a while and see what happens.
But McCain is about a hundred.

Heh! There is no 'she'. Plus. I was mainly kidding.
I'm lovely in real life. Honest.

I have a reputation of dumping people before Val's day. So much so that my friends have a bet that I'll get a girlfriend before the 14th and dump her before the 14th. Not a serious one mind.

It's the most economic solution. Dinner. 'Present'. I might as well just give her my bank account.

So what you do is find a really hot girl and ask her out every Tuesday until she says yes. We'll call her Cameron ...

I read none of the replies but I find it so bloody frustrating when I watch a game of football (soccer). The players get paid more than I have probably earned in my lifetime every week and yet they can't stay on their damned feet! Can't they just play the game and not the odds? Because of this I put it down very very low in my list of sports. To put it this way -- I've seen one half of a game of American Football and I preferred that.

>> and absolutely no strategy is involved at all.
I disagree.
There is strategy and skill... but also much idiotic play that makes my blood boil.

I watched the first half of the game last night. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. I was set to watch it all until it was mentioned that there was a 45 minute break between halves.

I was going for the giants though -- they were the first team I saw so I thought why not.

In how close pool is to snooker, I think.

Rules here -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_football_rules Long read

I did. I wanted Wales to win and Ireland to win so I was happy on Saturday. France I always want to loose, unless they're playing England, so I was disappointed there. Ah well. I reckon France this year.

Nah. It's on BBC2 though. It'll be starting in about a half hour or something.

Or in C++, why bother with what one may call 'messy' character arrays, when there is a 'nice' string type at our disposal. Look at the .substr() method of strings. I recommend looking at the first word of the sentence, finding the next instance of that letter, checking for equality with sub strings from the first letter to the second instance of the same and the substring from the second instance plus the distance from the first to the second, etc. Know what I mean? If that fails try for the next instance of the first letter until you pass the mid-way point of the string. Then go to the second letter ... sounds like fun, huh?

>> It's not a big deal for me.
But surely if it wasn't a big deal for you, Joe, would you even do anything?
Yet, I say this when I envision you being near the north of Canada in an igloo of some description... so you'd probably ski to work, so normal day at the office I suppose.

I reckon I'll watch some of it anyways. Turns out it's on two channels I have. Wasn't certain I could watch it before now. Who should I support? (First team mentioned wins)

Well, if you use vec.size() surely the vector is empty when you're trying to null everything... right? Also, doesn't transform take four parameters?

Anyway, something like this should work:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>

#include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp>
#include <boost/bind.hpp>

template <class ty>
  class nullify {
  private:
  public:
    ty operator ( ) ( ty &elem ) {
      elem.reset();
      return elem;
    }
  };

int main() {
  // List of pointers
  typedef boost::shared_ptr<int> TSmart;

  std::vector<TSmart> Vec;

  // Make sure that everything is NULL
  std::transform( 
    Vec.begin(), 
    Vec.end(), 
    Vec.begin(), 
    nullify<TSmart>() );

  return 0;
}

Grumpy as in Scrooge?

... Fair enough.

twomers is a play on my surname (or second name if that's what ye say).

>> would love to your story!
Me too.

It depends on what help you seek. Search for a likely forum here -- www.daniweb.com/forums

Same here... "It's time enough women humbled themselves and take their rightful places in our kitchens wearing aprons!" That's a tad sexist especially when you talk about racism and special treatment. Makes your post seem quite empty.

I normally don't do it, but here's a solution:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
  printf("1 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 25 29 31 35 37 41 43 47 49 53 55 59 61 65 67 71 73 77 79 83 85 89 91 95 97 ");
  return 0;
}

Heh. Gotta agree with ya there! Great come back. I'd lost faith in Wales after the first half only to come back into the room to see them score their winning try!

Guys don't nag... they instruct... kidding :D

Edit: post double posted. Could an obliging moderator delete this one please?

No idea about pause, but the warning is solved by putting a return 0; before the closing } in main:

int main() {
  // Your code

  return 0;
}

Non portable means that the code won't work on all systems -- suppose you were to compile on one system it might work but that doesn't mean it will compile on all systems. Using system is a bad idea for pausing. getch() is a lazy excuse. Duoas' solution is good. Use that.

It looks like VB, but I en't sure.

Why are Google evil?

All proper Irishmen support Glasgow Celtic ;)

The problem is (not really a problem), that the program is running too fast and doesn't have anything to stop it from closing. There are a number of options to solve this, most of them are mentioned here -- http://faq.cprogramming.com/cgi-bin/smartfaq.cgi?answer=1043803465&id=1043284385 so if you're using C++ throw a cin.ignore(); and cin.get(); before you return 0; at the end of your program

Not decided. I've never watched it so maybe I should... on the other hand I don't know what time it's going to be on Irish time.

We can't help without seeing the offending code.

I reckon I must be easily irked... but when people call you 'the baby' because you're the youngest of the family and then smile cause they think they're being funny.

>> really lucky man...
To have survived this long? Yeah! I agree.

Not in this case, but it would also make an amusing video should the thing melt and burning fuel flows under a car... am I wrong?

Well, as nice as command != ('A' || 'B') looks it doesn't work like that. if( command != 'A' || command != 'B' ) is what you're looking for, but to be honest a straight out else should do -- it's proven to neither be an 'A' or 'B'.

Not sure if that's your problem now. Don't have linux.

You use code tags: [code] PUT YOUR C CODE HERE [/code] for future reference.

The code I posted was meant as a learning exercise. It wasn't meant to do anything other than to show you how to access arrays.

For the random number:

for (counter = [B]0[/B];counter <= 2;counter++){
    value = rand()%1;
    printf( "%d", value );
  }

I recommend you download a proper C compiler for yourself at home... there should be a list somewhere... http://www.cprogramming.com/compilers.html There's no point in stoning away when you should be in the slick 21st century.

Anyway.

There aren't many things about arrays, fortunately.

int main( void ) {
  int int_array[2][3] = {0};
  int_array[0][0] = 12;
  int_array[1][1] = 12;

  int y, x;

  for ( y=0; y<2; y++ ) {
    for ( x=0; x<3; x++ ) {
      printf( "[%d,%d] - %d\t", x, y, int_array[y][x] );
      int_array[x][y] = x*y;
    }
    printf("\n");
  }

  for ( y=0; y<2; y++ ) {
    for ( x=0; x<3; x++ ) {
      printf( "[%d,%d] - %d\t", x, y, int_array[y][x] );
    }
    printf("\n");
  }

}

You assign and get values by accessing like so. That answer your question?

Ew!
A few things.
* <iostream.h> and <fstream.h> are old and now in the form of <iostream> and <fstream>. You might want to using namespace std; if you're going to change them.
* main returns int, so int main().
* Why are you using C File IO when this is C++? Or rather selectively using it? Pick one method and stick with it, OK? There's no need to confuse yourself with more than that.
* matrix[101][3] has 101 (0 -> 100), columns and 4 rows (0 ->3).
* Use code tags.
* There are easier ways to generate random numbers. rand()%1, rand()&1 are just two[1]

Now. To your code...

>> House isn't a sitcom.
Tru dat. Saw sitcom, thought TV and said House. 'Pollogies to my peers.

(In respect to myself) not see what's blatant!

House.

As in sales[20] and p[20]? It's just the size of the respective arrays. They can hold twenty elements. p is uninitialised but sales is by virtue of ={numbers];.

>> Could anybody help me with the code please?
Not unless you show some work.
But it's not that hard. There are two problems to overcome -- 1) filling the array 2) reading values from a file. Once you have those two done there's really no problem. Show attempts on both.

I dunno gravy...

If you had a grain of titanium, perhaps. But a grain of, say, warm sponge cake... nah. That's not even going to puncture a fast traveling waterfall of warm chocolate sauce.

Sure we all know we're going to make use of worm holes anyway and learn to bend and warp them to our needs, thereby bending the space-time continium and going from A to B quite slowly but in little time.

Was that barrel plastic?

>> Can anyone tell, how can i write that program in C++
Write some C++ code that does the job.

A small starter point:

class shape{
protected:

public:

};

class triangle : public shape {
private:

public:

};

class square: public shape {
private:

public:

};

class circle: public shape {
private:

public:

};

int main() {
  return 0;
}

Work from there.
