Turn the "Replace Tabs with Spaces" option in your code editor ON. BB Code tags tend to eat up Tabs.

It feels wierd. Just WolfPack will do.

Don't call me Mr. or any other title.

properly indent when you are posting bulk code. That makes reading easier, and will give you a better chance of expert help.

Now that we have a queen, I wanna be the King.

What is the problem? We don't have the time to run and debug your program. Narrow down the function that is wrong and post it. Post properly formatted code.

:evil: The deviations are due to Dani's idiosyncrasies.

hi everyone,
i am facing a problem in developing a software of pc maintainence, i require a source code to detect the ports of a general purpose processor

Explain a bit more. What do you mean by ports? The I/O ports or the network ports like FTP, TelNet etc? Have you tried googling.

Explain these two lines to me.

unsigned long v0 = *((unsigned long*)(buf+n));
        unsigned long v1 = *((unsigned long*)(buf+n+4));

During the first iteration of n, ie n =0 ; the above code becomes

unsigned long v0 = *((unsigned long*)(buf));
        unsigned long v1 = *((unsigned long*)(buf+4));

Now, the length of buf is 3. So, isn't buf + 4 a location out of the data array?

What language is this? Indian? It sure is funny. Anyway just in case you didn't know, this is an English language forum.

Yes I think you are over-reacting a bit. Nobody thinks that you are an idiot, and if there is anyone who thinks that, it is (s)he who is the idiot.

Walt's advice is spot on. Summarizing, the basic idea is that this Forum is a "give and take" forum. You should be able to give something in order to get something back. When I say "give", that does not mean that you have to provide answers for other peoples questions, or that you need to donate if you want answers (although it would be nice).

"Give" means You should be considerate of the people who reads your questions and their lack of time to read a improperly formatted problem over and over again for it to make sense. The subject should be fairly descriptive of your problem (Not something like "Please help" or "Newbie needs help" ). The question should be formatted properly ( Use of capital simple letters, punctuations, correct spellings, code tags etc.). Possible error messages should be given. This is an often referred web page giving such advice.

If you can't buy a book, here is a good one for free. Download it and try to get as much as possible out of it yourself.
Good luck.

Okay I am gone. Bye guys

You wouldn't do that, would ya pal? Buddy. Chum. Overall nice guy....

No I can't. But dani....

What a way to get banned.

A sure way would be Aishwarya Rai.

he he he . Nice try. But No you can't. :cheesy:

Hokkaido.

Where you headed, Wolfie?

Hokkaido. It is sweltering back here in Nagano.

You are in luck. I am about to be airborne in 3 hours. So better stay put.

They fly too high. Otherwise I'd have considered.

No seriously i didnt intend anything like that trust me. (Hope u trust me)

I just wanted to know how much time it has taken people with loads of reputation like Dani to kickstart their own. And i basically got this idea from the thread "reputation" so thought it would really be fun when all the gurus came and told their tales but u have i think dampened the spirit *sad sad sad*. Now no one would post in this thread.

YOu might as well close it.
Anyways thanks for letting me know i have made it there.

Yeah yeah. man. I must stop my dry jokes a bit. :cry:. But you are correct, it dampens things a bit, so I edited it.

psst. ... Just for your information, all the rep dani got was from herself. Don't tell anyone.

Congratulations.:cheesy:

Err... Welcome.

that takes time and money the ony thing i didnt understand was words...

period and semicolon

If you are not ready to spend time and money to educate yourself, why should we spend ours trying to educate you?

-.- I Cant Help A Habbit I Have

When you are adviced for your own good, be humble and try to correct it. Excuses and arrogance will not help you here. Arrogance will be tolerated once you start contributing to the community, but until that you are a newbie, so start acting like one.

Judging from your previous two posts, I see that you are way out of line and your attitude will be harmful to this community. Let this serve as a first warning.

naaah. I don't bite. I just bark. :cheesy:

Duh. :mad:You people are so thick. I meant that was Holly's 400th or 401 st post.

Explain a bit more. How is the program outputting the data now? Is it a console applitcation or a GUI application.

If the output is currently displayed in the console, the easiest method is to redirect the output to a text file.

If it is a GUI application, you will have to "read some file handling" in C tutorials.

Rather than outputting directly to an excel worksheet, it is easiest to output the data into a Comma Seperated Value formatted file ( CSV File ), and read the data using MS Excel or Open Office Excel into a worksheet.

Read this well .

great. surely that would have won you some points. congrats.

he heeeeee. Hope you aren't planning on using this thread as a résumé.

Something can appear complex until it is explained after which it becomes less complex. Ultimate familiarity finally renders the complex subject simple.

Reminds me of Clarke's 3rd law

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

BTW wat you mean by your above statement.

*hint* Post Count */hint*

Thats someone who administers smtp servers, or works for Royal Mail

I should have mentioned "pun intended" :-|

What about Post Master?

Clearly unemployed

ha ha ha .

he heeeeeeee. I voted I voted.

Bloody Teetotallers.

do
  {
     flag=arrange(array,num);
  }while( flag==-1);

This is the only place where flag is being used. So isn't it simple? flag is used to store the result of arrange and arrange is called while the flag is -1.

Now go to the arrange function. It returns -1 when two elements in the array is swapped. That means the original array didnt have it's data in sorted order. Now from that knowledge what can you say? If the original array was not in sorted order, arrange returns -1. So the above loop means

do
     arrange( array )
until ( the original array was sorted )

Rather inefficient, but a common sorting algorithm. Hope you understand.

Hello zsix. Welcome to Daniweb. You are absolutely right. This is a very good place to learn C/C++. Check out the C/++ forum if you ever need to. There is a very good team of knowledgable posters who know every nook and corner of C and C++ ready to help you. And good luck with your new job.

This explanation was very much usefull.Thank Wolf ..... Can you provide me the link to C++ standards.

The C++ and C Standards are not free. The electronic version costs about 20$ and the hard copy cost 10 times more. You can download a draft copy which is free to download. It is not the same as the real thing, but will make do for the time being.

Hi Guys,

I still didn't get answer for my question.

By reference to pointer I mean this

int * & x;

Here x is a refernce to a pointer

This code is illegal because a reference has to be initialized not assigned. There are exceptions but in this case it has to be initialized.

In the same way pointer to a reference is not allowed in C++.

int & * x;

. This will throw an error saying "pointer to reference is illegal".

Now what my doubt is, if reference is just an alias to an object pointed to by it. Then what is the problem in creating a pointer to it ???

The Standard does not specify whether references need storage or not. So if there can't be storage for a reference, there is no meaning for pointers to a reference.

It is unspecified whether or not a reference requires storage

There shall be no references to references, no arrays of references, and no pointers to references. The declaration of a reference shall contain an initializer (dcl.init.ref) except when the declaration contains an explicit extern specifier (dcl.stc), is a class member (class.mem) declaration within a class declaration, or is the declaration of a parameter or a return type (dcl.fct);

I have more important things to be concerned with for a start (namely a house move and an adoption)

Cool. Good luck with your home. But who would want to adopt you? :confused:

Whassamatta...? Someone threatened you? :cheesy:

If you want to build from scratch, read the HTTP Specification and implement it in C.
If you want a C API library, check curl.

I posted a link a bit later in my earlier solution. Check it out and see if the error can be corrected.

ok i have a problem with visual c++ whenever i try to create a project it says "automation server cannot create object".anybody know what that means?

No. What type of project are you trying to create?

Edit:
Googling gave me this.

Use string::c_str(). It gives a constant C style character string. Use this when a datatype of LPCTSTR is needed.

Now your second question does not need an answer.
