Fanta and crisps :P

It's pretty much logical your while statement isn't working correctly, if you use the '=' operator in an expression, this means that you're assigning something, it means not that you're comparing something, if you want to compare, you should use the '==' operator so while (r[B]=[/B]'s') would become while (r[B]==[/B]'s') :)

:) nope thux4life,it doesn't compile, that's why I'm asking for help

If it doesn't compile, you should also paste the whole error message your compiler is giving in this thread, by the way, it isn't thux4life, it's tux4life (correct and it will save you 1 keystroke as well :P)

Unportable code alarm!
You're including conio.h, this isn't a standard library file
iostream.h is not a C header, it's a C++ header, so you posted your code in the wrong forum
Aaargh, the terrible void main() , it's evil, replace it with int main() (read this ).
This is not C code, this is C++ code (this means that you've posted in the wrong forum), consider using new style header files (if your compiler supports it), so:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<iostream.h>

would become:

#include<cstdio>
#include<conio.h>
#include<cstdlib>
#include<cstring>
#include<iostream>

:)

Note: This is definitely (rubbish) C++ code (mixed with C), cout is an object, and C isn't an object oriented language :P

>Is it ok and help with the errors?
Does it compile? Then it's syntactically correct.
Does it run and give the expected output? Then you're pretty sure that you haven't made a mistake :)

Take a look at the corrected code and at Ahmed_I's post :)

Sorry for the stupid questions, but I'm beginner in Java...

There's nothing wrong with being a beginner, and by the way: questions aren't stupid, as long as you learn something of it :)

this is the whole code that i have been able make.

You're wrong, there are missing some parts, for example a main function, and the rest of the 'remove()' function, and maybe some other stuff too :P

>If you want to compare the password you type with some pre-determined password then do something like this
Correct, but the strange thing is that he doesn't want to do that :D

it asks the user to type in something, then it goes through everything the user could have possibly typed in then it prints it to the screen. i know theres no point for it but its just pracice.

But if you start with an uppercase 'A' then you won't process all the possible things he could have typed in, by the way, this could take a very very long time, if you want to check all possible combinations (and you're doing something else wrong as well), I would try something else :)

>14: ISO C++ forbids comparison between pointer and integers
Yep, the error message is correct, since the name of an array can be treated as a constant pointer to the first element of that array.

How can we avoid this?
Well, can you first tell us what your program is intended for?

tux4life i don't get anything you wrote but i realize that you are learned in programming . so i would request u to please help me in removing the data from the file created in my program please.

In that case we'll need your whole code :)

Yea, siddhantes, I'm also tired of doing that, but I'll give it a shot:

• [B]clrscr();[/B] is unportable rubbish :)
• gets(nm); , use cin for that!
  
• Use of old-style headers:

  #include<fstream.h>
  #include<conio.h>
  #include<stdio.h>
  #include<string.h>
  #include<stdlib.h>

  conio is not part of standard C++ ...
  For I/O, use the iostream classes !
  

• As I see so much void functions in your code, your main function will be void as well, in that case: make it int main()
• Indent your code, it's a real crap now!

Better try to read this forum rules before 6th of June:

Yes, and read this as well :)
And when you think you know the forum rules, you can come back, deal?

>have recently upgraded from Allegro 4.2 to Allegro 5
Actually you aren't using Allegro 5 yet, you're using a Work-In-Progress (WIP) release for the future Allegro 5.0 branch :)
So I don't know whether this Allegro is already finished yet, I personally think it isn't.

>In Al 4.2 I could just use an "os_type" variable, but no such variable exists in Al 5.
And how do you know that?
What errors is your compiler giving? Sure that you linked the library correctly with your application?

Note: It might be a better idea to post your future allegro questions on an allegro forum, as there are probably more people with Allegro knowledge.

>If You Want Something To Do
Yes, I want to give you some links you should consider looking at before you start posting on this forum:

Come back when you've read them :)

(It will take you a couple of minutes to read them, but it will save us lots of time we can use to help other people)

Read all the names into a vector and use the sort algorithm to sort them alphabetically :)
You could also sort it by using the strcmp function if vectors aren't allowed.

If both of them aren't allowed then you'll have to implement a sorting function first
(you could take a look at this code snippet in that case, it does exactly the same as the strcmp function) ...

A password program which is only accepting passwords which consist out of one character is not a bad coding practice, but it's a bad security practice :)

First some remarks on the OP's code:
Use new-style headers if possible, so:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <fstream.h>

would become

#include <iostream>
#include <[B]c[/B]stdlib>
#include <fstream>

Avoid the use of system("pause"); (look in my signature, for a replacement and the reason on why to avoid it)

:)

what is SDL ?

SDL is a cross-platform multimedia library for C++.
Take a look here: http://www.libsdl.org/ :)

Took from the php manual:

Note: When sending mail, the mail must contain a From header. This can be set with the additional_headers parameter, or a default can be set in php.ini.
Failing to do this will result in an error message similar to Warning: mail(): "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing. The From header sets also Return-Path under Windows.

Conclusion: You haven't configured it in your php.ini file :)

>Can someone help me to make a program in java
Yes we can help you, please post the code you have so far (read this) and tell us where exactly you're having problems with.

Could you please post using code tags?
Is it that difficult? Just click the # button (and past your code in between the tags).
Read also this and this :)

>The compiler say "Link error" and ...
And what?
Could you please post the whole error message (plus code), and what's Array ?

>definitely it's the crappiest program language...
On what arguments do you base this?

C++ is a more advanced language and it will allow some things other programming languages won't ever let you do, if you write a program in C++, and you are a good programmer, this will reflect in your work, but when you're a bad programmer, this will also reflect in your work :P

So, IMO this code is just crap ! (and now you read the above info again :P)

>I have no f* idea what they are they just showed them and want me to do it..
I've also no f* idea of your problem because you haven't posted the whole code as already mentioned by Ancient Dragon :)

Replace char password; with char password[31]; And change cin >> password; to cin.getline(password, 30); If you declare password like char password then you tell your compiler to reserve memory for one character only, but we want a set of characters (a string, an array of characters), so we write something like: char password[31]; (this string will be capable of holding 30 characters (plus the null-terminator))

BTW, Read my remark on the use of system("pause"); (it's in my signature)

1)
int arrA[];
int *ptrToarrA = arrA;

2)
int arrB[];
int *ptrToarrB = arrB;
Now it is correct. When you enter a value in the array it store in *ptrToarrB and if you want to enter more values in the array you run a for or while loop for this purpose.
Any problem tell me.

This is wrong, you don't assign memory for the array, this doesn't even compile, my compiler gives the following error:

t.cpp:7: error: storage size of `arrA' isn't known

To the OP (regarding post #1): Well, both are wrong for the same reason: Before you assign a value to a location in computer's memory, your pointer has to point to some memory first, otherwise you're overwriting random memory :)

What about using string patterns ?

i want to validate the String entered wether it is a valid standard equation of conics
the standard equation is:
ax^2+by^2+2hxy+2gx+2fy+c=0
some variables can be missed in input string but it should be of "degree 2" equation

Do you mean a quadratic equation like this: ax^2 + bx + c ?

By the way: May the terms be placed in another order?

Edit:: Sorry: I see that it's not what I thought, it's a conics equation (:P) ...

>What is the different between exit and break?

The exit command is used to exit the whole program and return a value to the operating system.
The break command is used to jump out a loop or to prevent running the instructions in the next case, if we're talking about the switch statement :)

Consider also the following links:

• http://www.cppreference.com/wiki/keywords/break
• http://www.cppreference.com/wiki/c/other/exit

>In short if I remove the null terminator I get the same garbled output, Is there something about null terminators and LPCWSTRs I should know?

Yes, when writing a character string to the screen, everything is written to the screen until the NULL-terminator has been encountered, however if there isn't one, then the memory after the character string will be displayed as well, which in most cases gives you that garbled output :)

You should use break; instead of that exit command :)

Then try:

cin.get();
cin.get();

:P

Take a look at this code and see what I've changed:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void printTriangle(int, [B]char[/B]);
void drawBar(int);
void drawBar(int, [B]char[/B]);


int main()
{

int base(0);
char sign(' ');
cout << "This program draws a Triangle" << endl;

cout << "\nEnter the triangle base size: ";
cin >> base;

cout << "\nEnter a character: ";
cin >> sign;

printTriangle(base, [B]sign[/B]);

[B]cin.get();[/B] // replace system("pause");
}

void printTriangle(int bs, [B]char sign[/B])
{
	for(int i = 0; i <= bs; i++)
	{
	drawBar(i);
	cout << endl; 
	}

	for(int i = 0; i <= bs; i++)
	{
	drawBar(i,[B]sign[/B]);
	cout << endl; 
	} 

	cout << endl;
}
void drawBar(int b)
{
	for(int i = 0; i < b; i++)
	{
	cout << "*";
	}
}

void drawBar(int b, [B]char ch[/B])
{
	for(int i = 0; i < b; i++)
	{
	cout << ch;
	}
}

:P

Yes I read it, but I just want to figure out why I am getting symbols for the second triangle instead of the user output... Are you saying that is why?
I am new to c++, so pardon my noobiness... =)

Actually you could treat a char variable as a small integer, each character has it's own 'integer code', which is more commonly referred to as ASCII code, what you do is the following: you just pass the loop's index as an ASCII code which will be implicitly converted by the compiler to it's equivalent character, and that will give the unexpected output :)

Dave did already mention what the problem is with your code:

You'll have to let your function know about the character you want to print instead of doing this:

drawBar(i,i);

You should read more carefully!

Did you read my remark on the use of system("pause"); in my signature :P ??

Well, first you should begin with the most important thing: drawing a triangle which only consists out of '*', don't care about the '#' or '^' yet, you can quickly adapt it later on, to accept other characters as well :)

To give you a little start:
(in the next examples I'll call the number the user enters the number of iterations)
If the user enters for example 3 then your triangle will look like:

[B]/* number of iterations is 3 */[/B]
*          // iteration 1 ( loop indexes )
**          // iteration 2
***          // iteration 3

And if the user enters 4 then your triangle would look like:

[B]/* number of iterations is 4 */[/B]
*          // iteration 1 ( loop indexes )
**          // iteration 2
***          // iteration 3
****          // iteration 4

So what can you derive from that?
You'll have to run two loops: one which is simply looping <number_of_iterations> times and one which each time prints a certain number of asterisks on the screen (and that number is equal to the current loop index)

It's probably better to make the following variables private in your struct (as you have already input/output functions):

int ID;
int salary;
int division_code;
int job_code;

Every data member of a struct is made public by default, however you could use the data access specifiers to encapsulate some data members, like this:

struct employee {
[B]// your other stuff goes here[/B]
[B]// please note that you could use the public access specifier here, but it's[/B]
[B]// not really required, because a struct's data members are public by default,[/B]
[B]// unless specified else[/B]
[B]private:[/B]
  int ID;
  int salary;
  int division_code;
  int job_code;
};

:P

My ISP places a limit on the size of an upload. Could yours be doing that?

Yes, but there's no such thing as: a file may be only xxxxMB or so.
There's something like a counter for all the traffic (upload and download), in other words: I'm allowed to upload files from any size unless I have reached the upper bound of my counter :)
(The counter's limit is 25GB and will be reset to zero every month)

I have no clue what you mean...
Could you demonstrate the expected output using an example?

Why do you use old-style header for the math library? #include <math.h> in C++, the new-style headers are preferred: #include <cmath> :P

Create a vector of type wchar_t and store the values in it :)
Remember that you'll have to use wcin and wcout if you want to do I/O

>I am looking for a script to do that for me.....
Take a look at this page.
Though you'll have to adapt it a bit, but it implements all the basic stuff already :)

>I didn't think non heap variables could be said to be allocated because they are allocated by the OS at startuptime
Not necessarily, they're automatically allocated when the code block in which they're defined is entered/executed :)

BTW, what would be the advantage of wrapping all the variables of your program in one class? (what advantages do you see in it?) I don't see any advantage in it, I find it sluggish and a very bad coding practice as well ...

Remember: It's not because you can do something that you'll have to do it as well :P

[B]bob = *Astring;[/B] won't copy Astring in bob, for that purpose you'll have to use the following code instead: strcpy(bob, Astring); :P

>However there is no real *right* way of doing it
But there are good and bad ways to do it :)
