 | The first step would be to detect if the opponent is one move away from a winning move, then block that move. [code] X|0|. X|.|0 [COLOR="Red"]O[/COLOR]|.|. [/code] In other words, detect that there are two 'X' in a line, and playing the red '0' is a damn fine idea at …  |

| | 1. Practice indenting your code. You'll find it a lot easier to follow what is going on. Eg. [code=c++] //***************************************************************************** //Name: <Tisa Knight-Chandler> //Assignment: <Number 7> //File name: <assign7> //Date: <October 31, 2007> //Description This program shall obtain input from the keyboard and compute //a customer's cellular phone bill based … |
| | Re: math program 1. If you say [co[b][/b]de=c], we get line numbers, which makes it much easier to refer to specific parts of the code which are causing you trouble. 2. #define PI = (3.14) This should be just #define PI (3.14) Though you might want to be more precise.  |

| | If I leave the language out of the code, then I can use colour just fine, like so [code]printf("%d. file has been created[COLOR="Red"]\r[/COLOR]",i); fflush(stdout);[/code] But if I add a language, say 'c', then it all goes pear shaped and the colour tags are no longer parsed.

| | Re: Average problem Well if the sheet starts out blank, then the second student knows a hell of a lot about the first student. How would you solve this problem? |
| | Show us how test->GetMpModif() is implemented. If in debug, the member variable is fine, then my guess would be either - the 'get' function is doing the wrong thing. - the class instance may already have gone out of scope (check the dtor to see if it's called). |

| | Re: C++ Address book May as well just visit [URL="http://www.cs.fredonia.edu/cswebpage/"]http://www.cs.fredonia.edu/cswebpage/[/URL], click on the "staff" link, figure out which tutor set the homework and then email them directly with a message saying "the following students would like to submit this answer". |
| | My advice would be to put the problem aside for a month and get some basic C++ under your belt first. Look for a book called "Accelerated C++". Hacking away at the problem one post at a time on a forum isn't going to produce a meaningful product at the … |

| | Hard to say without a better idea of how your different classes relate to one another. What type is vptr for example? Separating the code into two functions - input data - print data would help with following what's going on. |
| | You could try [code]printf("%d. file has been created[COLOR="Red"]\r[/COLOR]",i); fflush(stdout);[/code] Note the \r (carriage return), which should return you to the start of the current line, whereas \n is newline. |

| | Another good thing to check is to see if you've spelt the name correctly. If for example you mis-spelled "hash_login" as "hasp_login", it would show that error message. Edit: > hasp_login is a function. that is defined in one header file The header file only tells the compiler that the …  |

| | 1. Don't hijack threads which are 2.5 YEARS old with some random 1-liner "me too" post. 2. When you do get around to posting something meaningful, if it's code or error messages, then use the CODE tags to make sure it remains readable. Did you miss all the intro threads, … |

| | Re: Compiler Error? At a rough guess, the & in your directory path is confusing something. The & character is used for several different purposes by several different shells, so who knows what it did with it. |
| | 1. Saying "an error" isn't good enough, copy and paste the actual error message(s). 2. Use code-tags when posting code, then it's all nice and neat. 3. main returns an int, not void. > `cout <<getMonthName(month)<<endl;` You can't print a void! Maybe just call the function and let it do … |
