Since the data is coming from a raw source (text file, database, user input...) wouldn't it be nice if we didn't assume that the "[" will always be the first character of "txt" and "]" is not always the last character of "txt". Given that the data can also be …

You can write the function something along the lines of: [code=c] double average( int my_sum, int my_count ) { // write your code here } int main( void ) { // all other declarations double avg = 0.0 ; // write the code which accepts scores avg = average( sum, …

I don't think using there is anything wrong with using [INLINECODE]continue[/INLINECODE] and [INLINECODE]break[/INLINECODE] keywords -- though there is a lot of controversy surrounding [INLINECODE]goto[/INLINECODE] statement. (which is extremely biased since even [INLINECODE]goto[/INLINECODE] is good if used properly). Well the only thing I can think against [INLINECODE]break[/INLINECODE], [INLINECODE]continue[/INLINECODE] or [INLINECODE]goto[/INLINECODE] is …

If yes then the problem is not with codecs but with your code. Try compiling and running the code which comes in the zip file and see if it works. If …

It is because you are reseeding the random number generator and in the attempt restarting it. You need to seed the random number generator only once for a single run. Remove the second instance of `srand( ( unsigned ) time( 0 ) )` and you should be fine. And btw, …

You need to tell us exactly the errors you are getting and where. As far as your first program is considered, you need to initialize the variables at the top of your program, since without that [INLINECODE]while(score<= 100 && score >=0)[/INLINECODE] becomes meaningless. [INLINECODE]sum= 0+score[/INLINECODE] What is this statement supposed …

Welcome to Daniweb my friend.. :D And it would be better if you post your doubts in the Windows section to get the maximum help.

Hello there friend, welcome to Daniweb.. :D And yeah Mr. Stymiee would be only glad to help you out... ;)

I don't know Mr. Jobe if you already know this but there is a book which presents the solutions to the problems posed in C++ Programming Language, you can get it [URL="http://www.amazon.com/C++-Solutions-Companion-Programming-Language/dp/0201309653"]here[/URL]. And if you think the book is too expensive or not worth it you can always download the …

Hey there my Kitesurfing friend, welcome to Daniweb.. :D Come to think of it, even Daniweb is very windy... ;)

Import a database file into Access Database.. ? Can you clarify by giving examples.. ?

Hey there Reden, welcome to Daniweb. :D Hope you get to learn new things here...

It would be better if you post a concrete code sample to get help. And btw if anyways your combo box is picking data from a column of a table which always has distinct values, where does the duplication come in...?

You can always create a global variable which is placed in a module to maintain the total and keep on updating it when you move from one page to another.

Hello there Dan, welcome to Daniweb. :D Hope you find the answer to all your questions here.

In the form properties of your MDI form, set the "window state" property to "2 - Maximized" and you would get a full screen application.

Care to elaborate what you are trying to convey here by posting your code or with an example.... Or is it that you have declared all the global data or variables in one file and want your progams to access those ?

Some points to be noted: 1. Don't use the old style of header inclusion ( [INLINECODE]#include <iostream.h>[/INLINECODE] ). Instead use [INLINECODE]#include <iostream>[/INLINECODE] followed by [INLINECODE]using namespace std ;[/INLINECODE]. The latest C++ standard has the concept of namespaces and aall the standard C++ functions in current compiler implementations are enclosed in …

Hey there buddy, welcome to Daniweb :D Look around and you will get all the assistance you want. ;)

VB as such is pretty easy language to learn for a beginner. So don't worry, you can easily learn VB using some good books and reading forum threads for the problems people have previously faced. No math as such is required for coding VB applications, but then again it depends …

[quote=VIDHYAPREM;302949]i think i have to do change in directories (source,output,.....)[/quote] Yep, that seems to be logical thing to do next since it says "[I]stdio.h not found' [/I]. Check the make sure the path to your header files are properly set in the Turbo C configuration options.

VB deftly handles the memory mangagement on part of the programmer, you need not worry about it. The garbage collector of VB spots the variables which have gone out of scope or are not referenced anywhere in the program and takes care of them accordingly. And btw, as far as …

Actually too much documentation, I would say that a complete overkill. You just need to provide a short abstract on what your algorithm does rather than clubbing the program to death by explaining each and every statement. I don't know if you have reflected on this but almost 50% of …
