Preferred choices depend on the individuals exercising them.

You need to put single quotes around 0 and 9 for them to be treated as characters...

bool Characters_Allowed_Matrix(char a)
{
    bool b;
    if ((a == ' ') || (a >= '0' && a <= '9') || (a == ';'))
    {
        b = true;
        return b;
    }
    else
    {
        b = false;
        return b;
    }
}

Enough of all this, I guess I will have to be more strict.

To be honest, I'm really confused why you guys are making a fuss about us having a whole new color scheme. The ONLY color change at all was the listing of forum threads. :)

After the entire day's work, we need to do something. This is something, so we must do this....

Btw, you ask for suggestions, we give them, then you say we make a fuss...strange.

So better think

A very simple algorithm for your needs:

• Declare variables to hold the prime limit (the number till you want the prime numbers to be generated) and a flag which indicates whether a prime number was found or not (a boolean variable).

• Since while checking for primes we normally say that if a number is divisible by only 2 and itself then its a prime number. We can use a short cut here by considering that if a number is not divisible by any number between 2 and its square root, its a prime number.

• To achieve the above task, we would be needing two loops, one to generate all the numbers and the other for testing the numbers.

• Run the outer loop from 2 to the LIMIT and let the control variable (loop variable) be i.

• Run an inner loop with control variable j, where j starts from 2 and the loop runs till the square of i is less than or equal to j (short cut method)

• Inside the nested loops test whether i is completely divisible by j ( i % j = 0 ) .

• If the above condition is true, then we can conclude that the number is not prime. In this case, set the prime found flag to false and break out of the inner loop.

• After breaking out of the loop test whether we ducked out of the …

Some points:

• You are missing two closing braces at the end of the program.

• In your class definition remove the class names before the functions since they are only needed when you provide function body to your functions outside the class.

GridActive& GridActive::operator= (const GridActive & grid);
// more code
void GridActive::setActive (int x, int y, int z);

• You need to provide a while statement after the third closing brace to make your do while statement work properly.

• Next time you undertake a project, do remember to text your code incrementally and not try to do in one go...

Here is updated running (correctly?) code devoid of errors (but not tested) :

#include <iostream> //For console output
#include <windows.h> // WinApi header
#include <conio.h>
using namespace std;

#define EMPTY_CELL 177
#define CURSOR 1
#define TAIL 219
#define NUM 6

class Room
{
private:

public:
    bool visited;
    bool active;
    Room(); // Default Constructor
    Room(bool visited, bool active); // Overloaded Constructor
    Room(const Room &node); // Copy Constructor
    Room& operator= (const Room& node); // Operator
    ~Room(); // Destructor/Destroyer
    //Mutators
    void setActive (); // Gets the console ready to draw the minesweeper grid
    char draw (); // Draws the grid for minesweeper
};
Room::Room()
{
    bool visited = NULL;
    bool active = NULL;
}

Room::Room(bool v, bool a)
{
    visited = v;
    active = a;
}

Room::Room (const Room &node)
{
    bool visited = node.visited;
    bool active = node.active;
}

Room& Room::operator=(const Room& node) …

Album of photos brings back the hauting memories.

The code which you have posted looks good. How have you declared WORDP1 ? If possible post the relevant code snippet ?

What warning do you get ? Paste the exact warning and the line number of warning...

Did you declare p as an unsigned char? The conversion won't work very good. Declare 'p' as a regular char, and all should go well.

I guess you wanted to say "p should be a char pointer" since strchr returns a character pointer to the first occurance of the character in the string if it was found otherwise a NULL...

Agreed with ~S.O.S.~

Heh, you really missed the sarcasm in my post.....:confused:

Huh ? Can't you see a small rectangle in the middle of the screen where you can play pac-man and many other games ?

There is acutally a typo in your program -- in your second loop while displaying, you have wrongly used and incremented the variable "i" when it should have been j. The result being that "j" never gets changed and results in an infinite loop.

Some tips:
• Avoid forward declaring the loop control variables since its better if you declare and initialize the loop control variable in the loop itself.

for( int i = 0; i < SIZE; ++i ) { // code }

• Your floating casting which happens in the second display loop is superfluous since it has no effect -- the values are in the end rounded off to integers. Better come up with a integer scaling factor which would greatly simplify the problem rather than coming up with cryptic calculations.

• Avoid delaring variables in loops. Though modern compilers have become really smart and perform a lot of optimizations, its better not to test its patience and write good code. Peform varaiable declarations just before the point of using them.

Something like:

for(int i = 0; i <26; i++)
{
      length = count[i] ;
      cout << static_cast<char>('a' + i) << ":  " ;
      for (int j = 0; j < length; j++)
      {
          cout << "* " ;
      }
      putchar( '\n' ) ;
}

You can see how I feel as if no matter what I do, I am still going to get praise from some and criticism from others ... so all I can do is listen to everything I hear and do what I personally feel is best.

You really can't please anyone. Getting everyone to agree to a single point is as such an ideal situation. Do what you feel best as you have always done.

How about a 'most rep from newbies' competition. This way you'll have to post relevant posts to score points. Just a thought.

...but would be difficult to keep track of. I guess that means adding a new column to the member table.

Most number of helpful posts (decided by the admins of course) or most number of posts would be a good thing.

By the way, how did you get the color in the code you posted?

By manually coloring it...

Holy thread necromancy, Batman!

Aww, you are just killing the RPG spirit...

Holy thread Necromancy, Diablo !!! :cheesy:

Post your attempt and maybe then we would be able to help you out...

Append the statement using namespace std; after the inclusion of the headers and you should be fine. This is because the C++ implementation wraps all the standard functions in a namespace std, so you have to make the compiler aware of that by using the "using namespace std;" statement.

Also if you are using new style of header inclusion, stick to it and don't mix the two techniques.

Also you positioning of braces is incorrect -- you have got them all skewed, you need to use the opening braces for writing function definations and not before them.

Do something like:

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include <cstring>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std ;

int main( void )
{
   // code
}

Agreed with Joey, can't even get to type my responses properly there. Making technical posts which include pasting snippets would force me to switch to the advanced reply view. The previous one was good to go....

As always, in these circumstances go for the solution that works every time. Sure you can build functionality in eof() so that it works correctly.

Hell you can even use gets() safely if you go outta your way to implement the requisite error checks.

But that's extra work for very little benefit.

The code snippet / my post was meant to illustrate that using eof( ) is not completely wrong or taboo if used the right way. Just ignoring a part of language just because using it in the wrong way ensues chaos is foolishness.

An use of eof( ) would be:

char buf[BUFSIZE];
 do {
   in.read( buf, BUFSIZE );
   std::streamsize n = in.gcount();
   out.write( buf, n );
 } while( in.good() );
 if( in.bad() || !in.eof() ) {
   // fatal error occurred
 }
 in.close();

Not bad, is it...

So stop considering a feature bad just because someone says so...

See you don't learn this at the google groups.

I guess you were badly flamed at google groups for obvious reasons, thats why you keep mentioning it.....
