[QUOTE=Vastor;]I thought that only ++a would not work because it's equivalent as "a = a + 1" while a++ would equivalent "a + 1", or what I miss?[/QUOTE] You missed the fact that 1) [B]a+1[/B] simply means add 1 to [B]a[/B] and use the result 2) [B]a++[/B] means [B]a=a+1[/B] and …

1) Never call [iCODE]srand()[/iCODE] where you need a random number. Call it [I]once[/I] at the beginning of the program only. 2) use a [iCODE]while[/iCODE] loop instead of a recursive function.

First and foremost, learn to [url=http://www.gidnetwork.com/b-38.html]format your code[/url]. It's terrible and unreadable. Second, asking for help using [I]lol[/I], [I]idk[/I], [I]XD[/I], and [I]x.x[/I] gives us no information other than you spend too much time talking to the computer and not with real people. These are unnecessary and annoying computer geek jargon. …

Instead of outputting a SPACE, add it to a string. Before outputting a *, output that string. Be sure to reset (clear) the string after output.

Where else but Tennessee?!?! Sheesh! Well, maybe Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Alabama, Minnesota, Wyoming, Montana, Alaska, etc, etc, etc... :icon_rolleyes:

The problem is we have no idea 1) what the output is supposed to be 2) what output you actually got.

You've got it backwards. First you design the game. All aspects of the game. Then you break the functions of the game into smaller and smaller sub-functions. When you get the game into the smallest pieces you then design the code using pseudo-code. Only then do you start programming in …

You do NOT need [iCODE]fseek()[/iCODE]. At the beginning of the program, read the data into an array of your CURRENCY structure and you are done with the file. Then you can process all the data you want.

[QUOTE=senergy;1685338]bump?[/QUOTE] Do not be rude and bump threads. If someone can help they will when they get to it. And this bump is exceptionally rude because you were asked questions and rather than answer them you just said [B]bump?[/B] I know I would refuse to help with that attitude.

There's nothing magic about reading your magic numbers. 1) Open the file in binary. 2) Read as many bytes as you need for your test. 3) Test the bytes for the correct values. 4) done...

Start by creating a menu and inputting some data. Next, add writing the data file. Then read the data file and input more data. Sit at your desk and continue designing the program piece by piece. When done with each piece, add it to the program.

What?? Even I didn't understand what you guys said! You are printing the address [I]of the pointer[/I] to the string. address 65521 contains the pointer to the string "one" address 65525 contains the pointer to the string "two" address 65529 contains the pointer to the string "three" Change the line …

No, you're not having trouble. You're not even trying to check if a negative number has been entered. You need to make an attempt. Where is the most logical place to test for this negative number?

I don't like the function at all. It would be better IMO to read the file a character at a time and watch for the \n rather than reading an entire buffer, finding the \n and seeking back to reset the file pointer. Much less work.

Try writing this a piece at a time. 1) Create the pattern * ** *** 2) Put that in a loop to make * * ** * ** *** 3) Make the pattern & && &&& 4) Add a loop to make $ $$ $$ $$$ $$$ $$$ 5) Merge …

Also, you should get rid of [CODE]void clrscr() { system("cls"); }[/CODE] because it's more annoying to the user than useful, and calling the system to execute an O/S command is expensive. And as for: [CODE]void pause() { system("echo.");system("echo.");system("pause"); }[/CODE] 3 calls to system? Just to do what [CODE]cout << "\n\n"; …

[iCODE]extern[/iCODE]s are used to "pass" variables from one source [I]file[/I] to another. Not within a single source file. Remove the [iCODE]extern[/iCODE] to make the variable a global and it should work fine (with one more change I leave to you.)

Why are you trying to do this using wide strings? Based on your first post it was an arbitrary decision.

[QUOTE=jhudielpeco;1680884]Please repair my loop.[/QUOTE] No, you repair it? What seems to be wrong? It's upside down, right? So reverse the code properly inside the outer loop.

So what is the program doing wrong? (details please)

The biggest problem I have is just trying to read the code with the excessive and inconsistent indentation. 4 SPACEs rather than 2 TABs for each indent level is enough.
