That function is kind of scary. What exactly is it supposed to accomplish? I'm reasonably sure I can show you a better way to solve the problem.

10 is typically the numeric value of '\n'. Enter is a character too, so when you type a character and then press Enter, that puts two characters on the stream. See if you can find the problem with that explanation of your output.

It's pseudocode. It doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to express your logic accurately. Oh, and do your own damn homework.

The same way, except instead of dealing with only two links, you have more than two (usually in an array).

iter is invalid after calling erase, so you can't legally increment it. You need to be more careful about how you obtain the next iterator: [code=cplusplus] for (iter = gameList.begin(); iter != gameList.end(); ) { if (*iter == deleteGame) iter = gameList.erase(iter); else ++iter; } [/code]

The fact that it's printing more than twenty numbers should be a strong indication that your condition for the loop in displayArray is incorrect. Specifically, it's written with a C-style string in mind, not an array of float. Try passing the size to displayArray like you do with setArray. That …

Perhaps if you explained exactly what you were expecting and how what you got is different...

>I use the Turbo C++ 3.0(dont judge it by graphics) as its easier to use. Then your outdated suggestions are likely to be useless to the majority of people here. C++ has grown since then, and most modern compilers will simply refuse to compile your code.

Simplest solution: store the result values in an array, then traverse the array backward.

>shu shu shu shut you mouth You can dish it out, but you can't take it? That's pretty sad.

You've got a massive memory leak. Each time the loop iterates, you replace your pointer with a new block of memory. I imagine you wanted realloc instead of malloc: [code=c] #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #define CHUNKSIZE 5 int main ( void ) { unsigned long *array = 0; size_t capacity …

We can't create a forum for every language, but [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/forum42.html"]this one[/URL] is a catch-all for the languages that aren't explicitly mentioned. VBA is sufficiently different from VB 4/5/6 to go there, but other VB questions are probably better suited to the VB 4/5/6 forum or VB.NET.

No forum is exempt from moderation. Perhaps you should read and follow the rules instead of whining about it.

1) Functionally, in that situation, the two are the same. What you're seeing in the first example is C's comma operator in action. Occasionally you'll see people use it to avoid braces.

The state of the stream and the contents of the buffer are separate. Even though you reset the buffer to a new string, the stream is still in an end-of-file state from the previous read. You'll notice that out_offset is correctly set to 3 because the stream starts off in …
