I remade an equation-solver program from Java to C++, and I plan to post it soon but I would rather not until I can determine where modulus fits in with PEMDAS. To those who don't know, PEMDAS is the order in which mathematical expressions are to be evaluated. The order …

I had a hard time understanding the concept of memory in a computer, but something my Instructor told me gave me some hope. He mentioned that memory isn't really created upon invocation of "new" in C++, and stated also that memory isn't really removed upon the invocation of "delete." I …

I've read up to the point where the author explains partial classes. I understand the general concept - they're used when a class is so big that it is better to split it across files. I created two .cs files. Let's say one is CS1.cs and the other is CS2.cs …

I recently wrote a cpp file that I'm questioning. I'm unsure of whether the approach I took is correct or if it will cause damage to the heap. The goal of the project is to be able to do "clean-up" on dynamically allocated memory by storing the created object in …

I'm trying to create my own pattern (or something similar to a pattern I guess) where objects that are anonymously instantiated can still be referenced, but I'm getting weird memory results. It seems as if the free memory is decreasing when it should be increasing-- [code=java] import java.util.ArrayList; public class …

I don't understand... I thought that it would be functional based on the logic, and I was fairly careful with my syntax but it's still not working. Sometimes values will compare to as being "equal" even though they're not. I'm using troolean compareTo method (an int, returns -1, 0 or …
