| | Divs are containers (usually for styling and such), anchors are links. Usually you'd place links and such within a defined container, not the other way around. What kind of practical application are you thinking? Because a link is usually not more than words, or a picture.  |

 | It is actually a fantastic book. :) Don't expect this to be the only C++ book you will read, keep reading books, articles, reference material, lessons, etc! Read everything you CAN! |
 | If you want to make browser-based games there are many different languages that you could learn. I read somewhere that Evony was written in Adobe Flex(which is basically Adobe Flash - Actionscript) - so you could learn Actionscript. Or if you wanted to program something more like Runescape you could … |
| | Wow this is weird... Well... To answer the question about making a good game - I'd aim for C++ and DirectX or OpenGL... but honestly before that I recommend starting out with simpler games.. for now I'm using SDL to wet my feet in and get a little used to … |
| | Try [CODE] for (int i = 0; i <= 127; ++i) { for (int j = 0; j <= 16; j++) { cout << char(i) << " "; if (j == 16) { cout << "\n"; j = 0; } } }[/CODE] |

| | You need to use braces if within the if (conditional) you have more than a single line. ...Does not require braces... if (age>18) cout << "You may enter the bar"; ...Requires braces... if (age < 18) { cout << "You're too young."; return 0; }  |
| | Okay I'm damn fed up with this problem ever since I've been trying to organize a bunch of global variables and functions. I'm organizing the variable/function declarations in a header file and defining them in a separate cpp file. So, Globals.h and Globals.cpp.. I then try and link this both … |

| | The dereference operator (*) doesn't cause an error because it is simply dereferencing the actual value. It is the same as altering the value of a variable passed by reference, however since it's done by pointer, to assign/reassign the value of a pointer we need to dereference it so we're …  |

| | What bigwhiteegg said is correct, to demonstrate this I've added it into your code and hope this makes it very clear where your problem lies. [CODE] #include <iostream> using namespace std ; int main() { float score ; char grade ; // read in total score cout << endl ; … |
| | If you've got any c++ skillz, you should be able to make this. Learn about random number generation, loops and functions. Then you should be set for a number-style game. :) |
 | |
| | There are two opening curly braces after the do keyword on line 82, this may be interfering.  |
| | I'm not sure exactly which loop you're looking at here. Basically the whole main function? If so, then you could use a do while loop and have the condition set to a user-inputted variable. If you're talking about the for loop that continues until x > ACCTS, you've set ACCTS … |

| | I've been doing research on data structures but I just can't really wrap my head around what they are. I'm thinking classes, enums, structs are data structures; but then I also see linked lists and queus, etc that I don't understand either. Could anyone tell me what they are, what …  |

| | You can mix PHP and SQL to create and access the database. Is that what you were asking? |
| | Most C++ books that you buy will have end-of-chapter tests or reviews that have a lot of problems for you to solve. You can get some books from your library or find some e-books and try the problems they give at the end of their chapters. |
| | It's powerful and complicated and a nice challenge. It supports dynamic memory allocation and leaves you in charge of everything. You can make whatever you want. It's also the standard for getting a job in a lot of computer systems jobs and game development. |
 | That means true. You're saying if it is not equal to zero, which is true. (variable==0) means while it is false or (variable==false) means while it is false |
| | Okay. I created a program to create a character, and it uses a random number generator to initialize the Character classes strength and dexterity. Here's the character class constructor. Since the random number generator is based on time, both strength and dexterity have the same value when they're initialized. Is … |
