Hi, Firstly, convert your [number into a string](http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdio/sprintf/). Then check if it is a palindrome. Also, paste code that you have already tried.

Hi All, This is a continuation of the [thread](http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/c/threads/434701/sizeof-operator) where there was an interesting discussion about interviews. Well, firstly, since in this forum, there are a lot of professionals here, and a lot of students who face interviews i felt we could have a thread dedicated to discussing about interviews. …

Hello All, Kindly move this thread to an appropriate location. I apologize for the inconvinience. But, lately, (i guess last 15 days i suppose). I have crashes in Mozilla Firefox(details provided below). And the weirdest part is, in my crash report, all say: **Just switched tab to DaniWeb** I am …

@deceptikon, Bob Now that we are discussing about questions in interviews, i am curious to know what kind of questions do you generally see people asking? As far as i have seen/heard many interviewers tend to ask things that you would find in any book. I mean something related to …

Line number 13 and 15: you have missed an "&" See [scanf](http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdio/scanf/) Also, there are some other things i would like to mention: 1) # include<conio.h> --> Not standard C header 2) void main() --> Should be [int main](http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/cpp/threads/78955/void-main-vs-int-main) 3) clrscr(); and getch(); : Again, not standard.

@OP: Quoting deceptikon: > Fix that and then trace through the execution in a debugger Did you try what he suggested? Do you not have a debugger? AFAIK, even very old IDEs come with a debugger wherein you can add watches and do some debugging. In the worst case that …

Hi, `string::const_reverse_iterator rit = s.rbegin();` This should be outside the loop(just before the loop). You are creating a new iterator everytime you enter the loop. PS: This might be an interesting read: [Scope of variables](http://aelinik.free.fr/c/ch14.htm)

Hi, try using [strerror](http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstring/strerror/) to get some more details as to why you're fopen() seems to fail.

And, how exactly is this related to C++?

Hello All! To check for return values from a function and setting error flags, i am currently using the following approach: bool fine = true; fine &= func1(); fine &= func2(); .. and so on. if (!fine) { // error } Could anyone please let me know if there is …

Do you need to make a GUI for that? take a look at this: [Qt](http://qt.nokia.com/products/)

@OP: How about using [sscanf()](http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdio/sscanf/)? you can trying something like `sscanf(buffer, "%d:%d", &a, &b); // where buffer is your string` So, you can check the return value of sscanf(). If it returns 2, then it means your string had the necessary pattern. So, you can directly parse and read pattern …

Post whatever you have tried. **Here is a hint**: you can use linear search.[but that would return the first occurance of your character though]. So, if your string is joohn, then 'o' would still return 1.

Hi all! This is w.r.t the thread [How to make my C++ program executable on other computers](http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/cpp/threads/431194/how-to-make-my-c-program-executable-on-other-computers) I didn't want to continue the discussion there, so i created the new thread. I had faced the same problems in the past. I needed some clarification on the following: 1)`The option shown …

I'm not sure i follow you completely. Do you want to use a game engine[that maybe provides an editor of some sort] to create a game? OR Do you want to see the internals of the game engine? Anyway, here is a list of game engines. Some seem to have …

Hello All! Well this is not exactly a C++ question. Please let me know if this needs to be posted elsewhere. So, here it goes: I have a project, cosisting of the entire buildrules in Makefiles. This has been built only on Linux. Now, i need to build it on …

Hello All! I am a little confused about the memory allocated for an executable. Now, say for example, this is my code: int foo = 1; int main() { const char* bar = "hello world"; int num; return 0; } Now, the "hello world" part would be stored in the …

Hello All! I was just wondering if C++ classes could internally be represented in the following way: #include <stdio.h> struct A { int a; void (*ptr) (A *); }; void display(A *ptr) { ptr->a = 2; printf("ptr->a = %d", ptr->a); } int main() { A obj; obj.ptr = display; obj.ptr(&obj); …

Hi, If i understand you correctly, this is what you want: You want to scale an object based on the mouse drag. i.e if the mouse is moved away from the object, you scale it more, and when you move closer to it, scale it less. Is that what you …

Can you please elaborate what the problem is? I am able to get squares one on top of the other. I have attached a screenshot, and i don't see the black screen you're referring to.

Hello, I'm trying to use the compiler optimizations for GCC 4.3.3. I used the following [URL="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Optimize-Options.html"]LINK[/URL]as a reference. I'm mainly using the O2 and Os levels of optimizations. Could anyone please let me know if the order in which the options matters? Thanks in advance!

You mean an application that includes all 3D functions? You would need a 3D graphics API like OpenGL or DirectX. There are several APIs built over these(at least over OpenGL) that simplifies a lot of things. For eg: OpenSceneGraph. So, you would basically need a good 3D API.

Hello! I have a sample application. I just put a breakpoint at the beginning of main(). The callstack pointed to a function called mainCRTStartup() and before that, the kernel32.dll was present(grayed out). Can anyone please tell me what these functions are, and who invokes them? Thanks in advance!

You seem to be missing the main() function. Is it in another file, included in your project?

Hello everyone, I came across the following in a book: [CODE]Keyword typename The keyword typename was introduced to specify that the identifier that follows is a type.

Well the first thing is to decide an API to program with. OpenGL and Direct3D are mostly used for 3D rendering, not much for 2D(although you can do it). i don't know if you there are 2D specific graphic APIs. There are loads of material available on OpenGL. 1) [URL="http://nehe.gamedev.net/"]NeHe[/URL]: …

I'm not sure if standard C has any functions that do this. [URL="LINK"]LINK[/URL] You can try to use some compiler and OS specific functions, but that would reduce portability.

Hi, How about this approach: Convert the array into an integer after parsing through the entire number. i.e say for eg, the number is stored as [B]123.456[/B] Now, find the integer equivalent by looping through the array, i.e obtain 123456 and then, divide it by an appropriate power of 10 …
