That's just really weird. I have no idea why it would do that. Maybe double-check your configs, but other than that I'm out of ideas. Sorry I can't help :(
I think it has to have the <%@ Page ... > directive so that the ASP parser knows to interpret it. Just make a Default.aspx and you'll see how it's got that at the very beginning of the page. And if you've got VS, then there's no reason not to just use it to create your pages; doing it the hard way will just get in the way and cause silly things like this. :icon_wink:
Reading through the blogs today, I read two distinct entries that struck me as odd. There were not tech-related, and furthermore it was the first activity by either member on Daniweb. Also, they both tended to focus on some type of product and had a link to it. My guess is that it's a new form of spam, so I though I'd mention it... hopefully this is the right place to do so :sad:
That said, the blog content seems to be a little thin on quality the last week or so... :P
A very phenomenal build, and only $400. I seriously don't know how they are going to survive when I go off to college this fall..
Assuming that's a legal copy of a recent version of Office, and a legal license for XP as well, nice build. :P And they'll probably survive about like mine did: no updates, call me for tech support. Mine're still running with a 1.2GHz and a 2500+ that I built well before going to college...
if program execution starts and ends in main then what is the point? main calls other mothods and receive return types so why does main have to return something itself?
Like others have said, main's return value is used to determine if the program ran successfully or what the errors were. As to why the mechanism is a return value, when your program runs, something in your OS is calling main. When your program finishes, main returns an int to the OS function which called it.
I think one reason to not let you go back is if a later question would help you on an earlier one. This way you can smack yourself, but you can't go back to fix it based on the information you've learned since answering the question.
'Grats Duki, although I scored better back when I took it (920 or so) :P
If it were me, and mind you I'm still quite new to ASP, I'd put it in the master page and store the change in a cookie or session variable. The master page is for material (including layout) that will be rendered on every page, and you just specify parts of it wherein the content will vary by page. Do some research on how to use them. :icon_wink:
Most companies (at least around here) don't worry about your expertise in any particular language but how you solve problems. Like ProgrammersTalk said, go through a lot of practice problems, and try to always come up with the most efficient solution. Have a good grasp of algorithms and how to measure their efficiency. When it comes down to it, learning a programming language is the easiest part... :icon_wink:
I don't know that it'd be the most efficient, but you could save the Excel document as XML and use that as a data source on your website. You could then set up permissions to edit the XML data through a web interface. Like I said, this might not be the best way, but it should be functional.
If you're developing in ASP.NET, you'd use the .css file ProgrammersTalk mentioned on a master page, and have all your content pages use the same master, so as to ensure that the style is employed on all of your pages.
You can get by with just VB. Each time you add a page to your project, you can simply select whether to add it with VB or C# as the backend code. Note that you can add references (such as libraries) written in other languages and it will interoperate with your VB code just fine.
(another note: my screenshot shows J# as an option, but don't bother with it. I'm pretty sure it'll be gone in VS2008 anyways.)
If you have no programming experience, you might find VB (not VB Script) to be easier to learn. I'd recommend that you try both and see which one makes more sense to you. I personally prefer C#, but I have more of a background with similar languages, whereas I think VB looks funny since I've never really used any thing with a similar syntax.
If you go through some of the ASP.NET and Visual Web Developer walkthroughs on MSDN they should have equivalent samples in both C# and VB so you can see code segments side by side and try to determine which language fits you better.
I wasn't saying that corporal punishment is always necessary; however, it does get the point across that some actions are not to be tolerated. Obviously one can't go around beating their child for every misbehavior. But strong discipline backed by solid consequences (timeouts don't count here) go a long ways in training behavior. Sure, a timeout is sometimes the appropriate measure to take; there are also times when it's not.
The problem is that you're using integer division, which returns an integer value. Cast the numerator to a double and it should work: daysOffAvg = (double)totaldayoff / numemployees;
Also, try to write your program without using global variables. Their use is considered very poor style.
Oh, and please use code tags when you post your code. :icon_wink:
If there's not a penalty for misbehaving, then there's no incentive not to misbehave. After a few years as a child, it becomes a trained habit, and a very difficult one to break at that.
if [ -L "$fullpath" ]; then #fullpath="`ls -l "$fullpath" | awk '{print $11}'`" fullpath=`ls -l "$fullpath" |sed -e 's/.* -> //' |sed -e 's/\*//'` fi dirname $fullpath } # Set the home if not already set
Next time please post your code more readably, or with a brief explanation of what it does. I can't imagine how it pertains to the OP's problem.
First, your problem: you can't use the same file for input and output (using > at least; using >> will work, but it will append the data which you also don't want).*
Second, sed takes a file as a final parameter, so you dont need cat <file> | sed ...
* sed also has an in-place option, allowing you to use the same file for input and output. If you use the -i option, it will do this. The actual form (copying from the man page on my other comp) is -i[SUFFIX] where SUFFIX is optional, but when given it will copy the original file to fileSUFFIX, e.g. sed -i.bkup s/a/b/ somefile will create a file somefile.bkup without the changes.
Most of the distros people will throw out will be pretty similar for a beginner; they'll have slightly different installers, slightly different administrative software, and very little difference in available packages. Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora, and SuSE will all probably do about as well for you.
If you like to start by jumping in the deep end and trying to swim out, I'd recommend Gentoo or Slackware (Gentoo was my first distro). These are not so easy but you will learn a lot more just from the install process. I would note, however, that Gentoo makes you compile all of your software from source code, so if you want to try it be aware that it will take the longest time by far...
