Its pretty rare for me to post questions here but I came across this one about qsort I can't answer. If I try to sort an array of character strings such as [icode]char array[255][20][/icode] qsort works ok as expected. But if I declare the array like this qsort fails: [icode]char*array[255][/icode] …

I agree PacMan, Donkey Kong, Super Mario Brothers, Doom and Diablo were probably the most influential to the gaming industry. Most of the others were probably very good games but did they have all that much influence on the way gamers wrote games in the future ?

>>Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 That's your first mistake. Unless you are required to use that compiler by your school you should scrap that compiler because of its age and known NON-compilance with c++ standards. You can get a pretty good free VC++ 2005 Express compiler that will let you code …

>>_getch_getch This is a C++ program, not C. So don't use that C function. Use cin.ignore() or cin.get() so that you don't mix C and C++ in the same program. Sure of course getch() works, but its not consistent and you might get lower marks from your instructor for using …

I don't know what language that was written in -- it looks a little like cobol, but in any event you will have to translate that into c++. Shouldn't be very difficult -- just add the code between start and stop in main() then create functions for all the others. …

According to [URL="http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761572562/Island.html"]this[/URL] Austrilia is a continent.

just declare another pointer to be the same as the original and increment it until it reaches the end of the string. Along the way count the number of commas etc. You could use the original pointer but its better not to so that you don't destroy the address of …

line 26: eof() doesn't work like that. Use this instead [code] while( inFile >> name >> points >> description ) { // blabla } [/code] But that assumes each line contains exactly three words with no embedded spaces. For example it won't read a [b]name[/b] such as "John Smith" correctly.

std::sort only works with arrays such as a vector. If you want to use a structure then great, but you need an array of structures.

>>What can be the reason for this.. Without seeing the program's code we have not idea. The problem could be either in your program of the DLL that you wrote.

my guess is they are only supported on *nix and POSIX. Microsoft compilers have very little POSIX support. Even [URL="http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/monetary_002eh.html"]GNU doesn't seem to support it [/URL]across all platforms of its compilers. I have the most recent version of Dev-C++ and monetary.h is not supported there either.

Put lines 10 thru 19 in another loop and break out of the loop if the user guessed right.

you will need to store the pointers that are returned by strtok() in an array of pointers so that the words can be sorted by qsort. [code] char* array[255] = {0}; // assume max of 255 pointers ... int c = 0; // arrays start at index 0, not 1 …

>>what is the best way to sort all strings in arrPP Declare them all in one big array and in sorted order then you won't have to worry about that.

>>Is it also getting shorter? Yes -- the older you get the sorter your memory :) >>Are hard-drives doomed? Probably, but not in the near future. They need to replace with something for long-time storage.

Welcome to DaniWeb Peeta. You can use almost any compiler that is targeted for your operating system. For example you can not use a compiler for MS-Windows on a MAC and vice versa.
