Only if you can get a helluva lot more specific than that.

If you have the pattern, how can you not know its length?

I might paraphrase that deeply nested attempt to fill the array like this: "read the whole array (somehow) into each and every cell in the two dimensional array".

Methinks your switch cases need breaks. And you may want to deal with painting yourself in a corner.

I think you need to use a cstring as an argument. The standard C++ thing would be to use the .c_str() method. I don't know what the equivalent is for this stuff.

I think you're supposed to determine what op is to see what calculation you'd like. And when it comes to division, you'd test for div-by-0 and not do such if that were the case. So, yes, [icode]if ( num2 == 0 )[/icode].

Assuming you mean without using a program, perhaps using pencil and paper to solve each case? The first parameter is passed by value, so it will remain unchanged in the calling function after the function call; the second parameter is passed by reference, so its value may be changed in …

Filling a [icode]struct tm[/icode] and doing a [icode]mktime[/icode] will give you a [icode]time_t[/icode]. Then you could perhaps use [icode]difftime[/icode] to compare.

I was trying to find an example of setting up a project for multiple source files in MSVC, ones that I'd posted a while back.

I think one …

I might have a better shot of making sense of it if you attached full source. I'm just not connecting the dots. (Besides, I am curious about little things like [icode]new[/icode]ing and [icode]delete[/icode]ing within this loop as opposed to (re)using a single temporary.)

Keep in mind that we have run across many professors who teach quite the opposite of good practice.

I'm not familiar with Crimson Editor, but if you've got the BC 5.5 I've used that command-line compiler. If you're more comfortable with starting in a GUI IDE, I'd recommend looking into [URL="http://www.codeblocks.org/"]Code::Blocks[/URL] (and get a recent nightly build).
