Hello.

.... you're just dealing with a stranger rather than trying to make a friend. ;) Frankly, there's a difference between respect and professional coldness.

I guess different cultures have different ways of interpreting different things. I was never before given the impression that Mister amounts to professional coldness or a complete stranger -- and it has been a while since I was born.

So in the end I guess I really am a cold hearted, unfriendly person.....

Thank you.

is a way

I'd appreciate it if you didn't call me Mr. Jobe, makes me feel old and superior somehow, either JoBe or Johan(my real name) will do ;)

Don't know why all foreigners dislike being addressed as Mister. This is what we are taught in our country to give utmost respect to everyone.;)

Saying Mister is not an indication of you going old or being superior to someone. For me its always being "what goes around comes around".

But still if you don't like it, I will try to refrain from saying it the next time, though there are no guarantees...;)

See...told you I was going senile. :D

On a serious note, as per the last draft of Standard C:

If the return type of the main function is a type compatible with int, a return from the initial call to the main function is equivalent to calling the exit function with the value returned by the main function as its argument

So in the end a return statement actually calls the exit function.

Be yourself is all you need to do.

You again get a confused ~s.o.s~ who hasn't come across the word stylus.

I put in some flour.

Boys -> rowdy

what previously was

i think we should stop whinging as the ads are here to stay as without it daniweb would cost money to join which i dont think would be a good thing as many members would be put off. we should just be grateful that the ads are fairly unobtrusive and remember that most of danieb was handmade by dani and she puts a lot of effort into keeping it open for the community

I don't think you should use the word whining to describe what actually is someone's opinion, especially if that someone is the one who has put in a great amount of effort along with Miss Dani in making Daniweb what it is today.

Even Miss Dani would agree that this site is a joint effort of all the people who have contributed to it in a valueable way, so its only natural for them to express their feelings strongly about it even if it means straying away from the herd.

I really wish someone would close this thread...:-|

So what's a poor programmer to do?

Maybe resort to more robust methods of accepting input.
Just to rehash Mr. Ravalon's robust attempt at trying to solve the problem:

#include <iostream>
#include <limits>
#include <sstream>
#include <stdexcept>
#include <string>

namespace Raye {
  using namespace std;

  template <class T, class U>
  T CType( U src )
  {
    stringstream ss;
    T dst;

    if ( !( ss << src ) )
      throw runtime_error( "CType: stringize error" );
    
    if ( !( ss >> dst ) )
      throw runtime_error( "CType: invalid conversion" );

    return dst;
  }

  template <class T>
  T GetType( istream& is )
  {
    string s;

    if ( !getline( is, s ) )
      throw runtime_error( "GetInt: input failure" );

    return CType<T>( s );
  }
}

int main()
{
  using namespace std;

  int age;
  string name;

  // Create the problem as an example
  cout << "Please type your age: ";
  cin >> age;
  cout << "Please type your name: ";
  getline( cin, name );
  cout << name << " is " << age << " years old\n";

  // Clean up the stream for an accurate test
  cin.ignore( numeric_limits<streamsize>::max(), '\n' );

  // Eliminate the problem with GetType
  cout << "Please type your age: ";
  age = Raye::GetType<int>( cin );
  cout << "Please type your name: ";
  getline( cin, name );
  cout << name << " is " << age << " years old\n";

  return 0;
}

Since it's apparently not possinble to know when this troubelsome newline char will appear would you recommend that …

Properly indented code is much easier on the eyes for a moderator.

PS: I don't think its fair to reply to your own post Mr. Happygeek or are you just trying to exercise you admin powers...;)

Girl -> Dangerous (I guess we would all agree to that ;))

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 here.

And if you think the book is too expensive or not worth it you can always download the source code for free from here.

Hope it helped, bye.

He's related to crows and magpies, attracted to shiny stuff.

I was related to those things without knowing about it..that's strange. :mrgreen:

Did I mention Uranus?

As a matter of fact..yes you did. ;)

The authors admit they can't explain everything in the space they're alotted, but they do give tips on where to go and what to do next.

No book promises to teach to everything about something. So why not buy a book which atleast teaches you something practical and correct rather than buying books which teach bosh.....

latifah -> beautiful

without an end.

This way if either file doesn't open there's no sense executing the moving... ;)

Ah...forgot to put the exit(1) statement if any of the files failed to open. Man am I going senile......:sad:

No, I don't

Oh well, mine is Mercury and for the obvious reasons...;)

Well, don't know how to load the pic, and can't delete the message...

Go to the site www.imageshack.us, upload your picture there. After uploading you will get an URL of the image.

Just click the insert image button on the WYSIWYG editor of Daniweb, paste the URL. Your pic will be displayed within the post...

Joey really has access to some inside info -- either that or he must have read it on other forums where Miss Narue visits.

Anyways, Congratulations Miss Narue, and I hope the best health of you and your baby.

God Bless you both.

I think that there are too many drag 'n drop or copy 'n paste programmers out there which leads to unstable applications.

Performance never has been a problem when working with Drag and Drop type of RAD languages or tools (VB, Realbasic). All the optimization related things are taken care by the interpreter or the compiler which comes along with it.

Also there are Project Managers, Team leaders etc to take care of such unstability. Either this or I am missing your point ?

You get all the honey you want.

I put in some clothes.

Hey there Yagyesh, welcome to Daniweb from a fellow Indian....

Hope you enjoy your stay here. :D

No, you can post only your picture. If you have a real good picture you want to show others, create a new thread with a suitable title and post that "special photo" in that thread.

I'm sorry to bring this up because it obviously caused a bit of a problem, but what was the is with IntelliTXT? And why did people leave over it? Just the basic idea is fine or a link...

Many moderators and people felt that Daniweb was taking their words and making money out of it. They felt that such a thing like their posts being used as advertisements would damage their professional reputation or is against their morals.

The trouble was that IntelliTXT ads being links would encourage the newbies to click on them thinking that it would help them solve their problem, but would end up sending them on a third party site convincing them to sell their products. This made some feel that, if such a thing happen, they would be the ones indirectly endorsing the ads....and many more things. But like I have said previously, better forget all that and carry on........

Hey there buddy, welcome to Daniweb. :D

Good to have an interesting person like you on our board...;)

You get to listen to POD's concert

Say no more, you always have my vote and recommendation for it....;)
