Why are you using 2 separate functions to perform the recursion? Your comparison is likely to be what's causing the problem -- you can't just compare the starting memory addresses for 2 arrays to check if the contents are equal, you have to individually check each element. A few other …

It's rather odd the way the system freezes without an error message. Perhaps there's one in the logs.

Except for the microscopic quick reply box, you're doing fine. :P But seriously, you are doing a very good job. Just look at the popularity of DaniWeb? Would 309,010 threads exist if you were doing a bad job? Davey has also been doing a good job, although it's sometimes hard …

What a well-done music video. I'm especially amazed at how they got the rythm to work so perfectly with the music. I wonder how many hours it took to complete THAT...

Hello, From what I can tell, this is either a RAM problem, or, more likely, a motherboard problem. Why? Because if a hard drive is not present or not working, a normal Mac would show a flashing question mark. Not being able to get to the gray screen means that …

[quote=Aia;319986]and concerning about the getch(), clrscr() Well, knowing that they are not portable is good, however I'm not the most knowledgable guy to preach. I don't feel the most qualified to correct those things, even when reading many of your comments has made me not to use them. By the …

[code] bool visited(); bool active();[/code] Why are you declaring these members with () when you try to access them as data here: [code]Room& Room (const Room &node) { bool visited = node.visited; bool active = node.active; }[/code] Perhaps you meant member data, but accidently added () after the name.

> char word; Just a thought, perhaps the program might work better if this were a string instead of a single character? ;)

It might help if you actually called setVolume()... ;)

>So, next time you call "cin >> variable", it will reach the left over ENTER chacter and continue, not allowing any input. Not quite. [inlinecode]cin[/inlinecode] actually keeps searching/waiting until it finds data.

Why do you ask for both the infile and the outfile? You should only ask the question appropriate to what the user has selected (and perhaps perform some error checking).

You may want to try the H.264 encoding, which although increases the filesize of a MPEG file, also greatly improves the quality, and in terms of filesize to quality, it's quite good. Another good thing about H.264 is that it's supported by QuickTime, so that means that it's pretty well …

Assuming the given number is an integer, try dividing it by 10... [code=cplusplus]int num_digits; if (myNumber < 0) myNumber = -myNumber; while(myNumber > 0) { num_digits++; myNumber/=10; } [/code]

You haven't told us what you're having trouble with. Do you get compiler errors, runtime errors, what?

It depends what language (C or C++) and what kind of error-checking you need. A basic function which has no error-checking is [URL="http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdlib/atoi.html"]atoi[/URL](): [code=c] int myNumber; myNumber = atoi(myString); // myString had better contain a number! [/code] A better C function in regards to error-checking is [URL="http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdlib/strtol.html"]strtol[/URL]. For C++, you'll …

> We've been told to work with <iostream.h> for our input and output Your compiler probably doesn't support it because that header is old and outdated.

Let's just pretend I didn't see your second example... :rolleyes: Your first example works when spaced out properly, so now all you need to do is code in the average and sum, and then you're done.

Sorry... it's not like Microsoft is just going to mail you an XP disc just because you have the registration number. Even if you legally owned it, they have no way of knowing that. So it's S.O.L. for you. Oh and this is totally in the wrong forum. :)

There's really no point to this thread anymore, since Gmail no longer requires an invite to join. Perhaps this should get closed/destickied?

Clearing the input stream won't really erase characters off the screen. What you want to do sound like getting aynchronous input. There isn't a standard portable way to read asynchronous input. One method is to use [URL="http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908775/xcurses/getch.html"]getch()[/URL], however that's only a compiler extension, so it may not always work on …

No, I highly doubt it. Time to get a new Mac... :)

C/C++ isn't the easiest thing to learn, especially if you've never had much experience in programming before. So then why are you taking an advanced programming course? (Assuming of course, that you haven't really had an introduction to C/C++.) My suggestion would be this: to code more. I know that …

Interesting distro you found there. I don't think much of it, as it's still using Wine as the Windows-compatibility layer for its applications, according to Wikipedia. That means you probably won't get much better performance than if you had simply installed Wine on an already-working distro. They've written a fairly …

You're trying to use getline() to read a string into an integer. It just ain't going to work. Read it into a string, and take it out with atoi() or use a stringstream.

Perhaps you need to install video card drivers for Linux? Generic ones that are included with Linux just aren't going to cut it.

Also, it sounds like you're using the old C++ STL libraries. The modern ones don't end in .h, so try using those for a more up-to-date program (probably won't fix your errors, though) [code]#include <iostream> #include <fstream> using namespace std;[/code]

Not to be rude, but we're not a software factory. Sure it is possible to write a program that does that, but it's not something that you can quickly write up in 15 minutes.
