without sufficient energy, we are limited to equatorial and sub-equatorial ranges.

i believe the inuits would disagree.

the other 200:D

you have 2 functions that are named the same and take the same argument.

Scotland should be treated with the disdain it deserves. Send out the under 16s and the over 40s and i fear we would still lose.

And yet we are so reliant on air conditioners, heaters, fans and organtic food which simply cannot exist in some situations. So in a way we are reliant on the very organisms that are vulnerable to extinction.

No, we enjoy these "luxuries" but we would survive without them. I have no air conditioners, no fans, i don't eat organic food and i'm old enough to remember building a fire in the lounge every morning.

Perhaps 2012 is when climates change and species who don't adapt will not survive including humans.

Does any species adapt better than us?
We have colonised almost every part of the planet, every enviroment from tundra to desert.

Yes but given the fact that Euler was a genius that's no too comforting.

The question for us isn't wether we will lose or not. The question is how embarrassing it will be.

Is it the language holding you back or the maths?

Surely the method mentioned by the OP would show sum to be 15.
This is not is what you are looking for(at least i think).
stringstream may be the way to go.

I managed ~120 in c++(no big-nums in c++, made it a bit harder) with no external libraries and a "very" limited knowledge of programming. Have hit the wall now (mostly the math i think).

Has anyone else given this a go and how did they do?

This is not supposed to be a bragging contest, just curious to know how others did.

Fear of competition is essential, otherwise you get lazy and cease to compete. Also are people here out to change the world or just to change their world.

1. use code tags.
2. if you are being asked for pseudocode then i am guessing your prof doesn't think you are ready for the actual code yet.
3. is this your code?
4. google.

edit: it just appeared in code tags
3. i.e can you explain what the code is doing?

Here in Aust. the two big US chains ran for a while ads showing prime beef yearlings in paddocks. As if. You get 12yold cow remains in hamburger.
You get what you pay for. You don't pay much.

hamburger? where's the ham?

so if cuts come to your department you still?

want to be surrounded by people smarter than me so I can learn from them

Is this your work?

Far from it. In my case it's enlightened self-interest. By answering questions I have more control over the next generation of developers. Since these people will be my peers in the future, I want them to be reasonably competent.

Would "self-interest" not be to keep them all dumb so as they can't surpass you and take your job away.

1) yes, but be prepared for a very steep learning curve.
2) as far as i am aware a large percentage of modern games are written in c++ (but remember writing a game may not be as much fun as you think it will be, i.e lots of time writing lines of code just to make an asteroids game that looks like something from 1982.)
3) sorry can't help with this.

As a beginner i am very thankful for the advice given by people who clearly know far more about the subject than myself.

I have answered some threads that i feel i understand (sometimes), but i regularly see "experts" answering the most basic of questions (including mine).

Are you people just genuinely good human beings?

where is the user telling you which planet they are on?

you ask a question:

cout << "Please enter a planet name from the following list." << endl;
				cout << "Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune" << endl;

but you don't ask for an answer.

where is the input for Planet?

edit beat to it

why have the line at all? when the program reaches this point and breaks the do while loop then surely signal does equal q.

seek out your classmates. they are also here.

ok just guesses but
line 14 why?
do while signal !='q'
initially what value does signal have?

really?
first post each and a link to a site?
(i may be getting cynical in my old age, please excuse me.)

Maybe not EXACTLY politically correct

you think?:D

If I have seen further it is only by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Sir Isaac Newton

can you use vectors?
that would be my first port of call.
then either use sort or write (what i think is called) a bubblesort.

Will it be Scotland to thwart them again?

:D

That's a big ask.
My suggestion would be to run the program with extra cout lines to find where the problem is occurring then post the smaller piece of code(that isn't working) for people to help you with.
There are some here who may slog through ~250 lines, but not many and not often.

sqrt(86)=9.2736.........

largest prime factor of 86=43.

Yes but as i said when you remove one power hungry friend of the wealthy and big business you invariably get another. (not always better)

.

lol, yeah i hate the way the sport gets in the way of the adverts:)

As it says you have a double function so it is expecting a double value to be returned.

Plus you seem to be missing some function definitions.

Start to finish

Football: ~105-110 mins, 90 mins play ~83.7%
Rugby: ~95-100 mins, 75-80 mins play ~79.4%

How long does the average American football match last and what percentage of that time is actually play?

Yes but you still have the power hungry idiots ( Clinton (bit of a pest if you're a woman and a bit dim) & Bush (court jester) ) to name but two.

Is that not the same everywhere? Swapping one power hungry idiot for another.

It's like all "American" sports, more stop than start.

I would love to see the Italians beat anyone but us.(although the missus probably wouldn't agree, being a good old gal from the valleys.)

I think Italy and Scotland need to be switched.
I would love to be more upbeat but hey im a realist.

OK, so what's the problem?

That is a statement not a question.

line 11 cout << secondary

perhaps you should get together with biancaW here;
