The ncurses API supports random positioning of text on screen. The Win32 Console API supports the same thing. State your OS and compiler for a more specific answer.

A lot of the initial (and small-scale) stuff happens on paper and white boards.

[URL="http://www.google.com"]Yes[/URL] Seriously, I mean, what is the point. While you're at it, try defining "good".

Oooh - what's the size of a ptr AD ;)

In the project settings in the IDE, you need to list ALL the source files (all 5 of them).

Read this before your next project. [url]http://cboard.cprogramming.com/showthread.php?t=88495[/url]

Perhaps you could explain the thread title while you're at it.

The 'ps' command (or one of it's options at least) will tell you how much memory is allocated to the process in total, but it won't tell you anything about the "3D array-ness" of some subset of that allocation.

Automatic code generation.

Use a parameter, not a global.

Perhaps because only 50 times round the loop is nothing to a modern 64-bit machine. Add some calls to sleep, or some other substantial amount of work, and then it'll tick nicely.

Pencil and paper works quite well.

Call srand() just ONCE at the start of the program, not every time you want a rand(). At best, it achieves nothing. At worst, it prompts "Why does rand() always return the same value" questions on the message boards.

main always returns a value whether you like it or not, no matter whether you declare void main, or whether your compiler doesn't complain about it.

Why are you still using an antiquated compiler with an equally ancient view of what a display is?

You want something like [ICODE]char marker_code[NUM_CODES_IN_FILE][LENGTH_OF_CODE+1];[/ICODE] You're only allocating space to store a single code at the moment, and your loops are only reading single characters (and overflowing the bounds) as a result. Edit: Beaten

Read up on templates.

Some functions which modify parameters are NOT getting the reference parameters they should be.

Delete it and start again, after reading this. [url]http://cboard.cprogramming.com/showthread.php?t=88495[/url] Write code a few lines at a time, then press compile to make sure you're still on track. Writing several hundred lines and dumping the whole sorry mess on a message board for someone else to fix isn't going to work. …

Chances are, that's a local variable, and being local, the space will be reclaimed when the function returns. If you really need to store the string result in memory for an extended period of time, then you can do what you're doing at the moment, then use malloc and strcpy …

Perhaps the first number stored in the data file could be the number of students? Eg. 2 Fred Flintstone Barney Rubble Or use a vector, which you can add to arbitrarily std::vector< std::string > studentID; fin >> aStudent; studentID.push_back( aStudent );

You need to assign the result on line 20.

Then it's just a stream of bytes (eg. unsigned chars). So you read it using whatever OS/Compiler specific functions you have for reading the serial port, and store those bytes in some kind of array (or some C++ equivalent if that's where you're going). After that, you pretty much have …

And I thought this was going to be about solar ellipses and lunar ellipses ;) Oh well...

ifstream fin fin.getline cin and cout just happen to be streams already opened for you. Otherwise, everything else is identical.

And if they don't take them off, put them in the microwave for a pretty, and brief, lightshow.

Sounds like something else is trashing memory, clobbering your stream in the process, so that when you next refer to you stream you get the problem you see.

Does this crash? [code] int main ( ) { ACE_OS::fopen("demo.txt", ACE_TEXT("a")); } [/code] If not, then there's a bug somewhere else in your program and what you're seeing is fallout from the result of your real bug.
