Re: Using a switch statement with nested if/else statements

No. It evaluates to case 1, so entering 'a' or 'A' would give the message 'Enter only a, b or c for package'.

Re: We need to laugh...

Don't copy if you can't paste!!

At training program for top management. *
A well-known motivational speaker gathering the entire crowd's
attention, said, "The best years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who wasn't my wife !"
The crowd was shocked!
He followed up by saying, "That woman was my mother!"
The crowd burst into laughter and he gave his speech, which was well received.
About a week later, one of the top managers who had the training decided to use that joke at his house. He tried to rehearse the joke in his head. It was a bit foggy to him.
He said loudly, "The greatest years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who was not my wife!"
Naturally, his wife was shell shocked, murmuring.
After standing there for almost 10 seconds trying to recall the second half of the joke, the manager finally blurted out "... and I can't remember who she was !"
As expected, he got thrashing of his life time....
Moral of the story: *Don't copy if you can't paste*

Re: We need to laugh...

Here is another:

NEVER LIE TO A WOMAN!!

A man called home to his wife and said, "Honey I have been asked to go fishing up in Canada with my boss & several of his Friends.
We'll be gone for a week. This is a good opportunity for me to get that Promotion I'v been wanting, so could you please pack enough Clothes for a week and set out my rod and fishing box, we're Leaving From the office & I will swing by the house to pick my things up" "Oh! Please pack my new blue silk pajamas." The wife thinks this sounds a bit fishy but being the good wife she is, did exactly what her husband asked.
The following Weekend he came home a little tired but otherwise looking good. The wife welcomed him home and asked if he caught many fish? He said, "Yes! Lots of Salmon, some Bluegill, and a few Swordfish. But why didn't you pack my new blue silk pajamas like I asked you to Do?"
You'll love the answer...

The wife replied, "I did. They're in your fishing box....."

Its simple mathematics, no complications of memory location involved. The XORing takes care of all that. See this.

Re: Pointer to array

No need for a pointer. Just keep on passing the array name wherever you like, a pointer to the array would be automatically passed since the array name is the pointer to its first element.

void createArray()
{
    int* myArr = new int[10];
    useArray(myArr, 10);
}

void useArray(int arr[], int sz)
{
    for(int i = 0; i < sz; ++i)
        arr[i] = 0;
}

Re: Random text and images

As for the randomness, you can store the text in a Javascript array. The same goes with images. Then generate two random numbers. If they are not equal display the combination, and if equal, then generate another set within the specified bounds.

The positioning is more of CSS + XHTML than Javascript.

Re: The Onion: Myspace outage leaves millions friendless

That doesn't disprove that the statement n=5 doesn't evaluate true; it is indeed an assignment, but it will evaluate to true:
this is better proof, of the statement by EnderX being correct.
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    int n=0;
    if(n=5){
    cout << "yes, n=5 is true" << endl;
    };
    cout<<n<<"\n";
    return 0;
}

Not all assignments evaluate to true.

if(x = 0)
    puts("This won't be executed");
else
    puts("I am sure of this.");

Its the value to which the variable evaluates to which influences the branching and not the assignment.

Re: help with classes?!

> there is no way to programmtically identify this mistake.
You mean something like:

int result;
for(int i = 1; i <= 10; ++i)
    result += i;

You normally don't make up for bad programming practices by changing the way things originally work. (at least in all real life scenarios).

OK, lets assume that you _somehow_ manage to check invalidity of those three fields, what would you do when stuck with a class with around 10-20 fields? There are better ways of solving the same problem / programming blunders like keeping a dirty flag which will give an indication whether the instance has been touched by other mutators before being used by accessors.

Also, it doesn't make sense to create a point object which takes no values. Point p; //doesn't make sense You would rather normally create a variable with the information available with you or delay the variable creation rather than creating them beforehand.

Remember, variables ideally should only be created just prior to their first use (esp objects).

Re: What is the best value for an empty point in C++?

As answered by Stroustrup:

In C++, the definition of NULL is 0, so there is only an aesthetic difference. I prefer to avoid macros, so I use 0. Another problem with NULL is that people sometimes mistakenly believe that it is different from 0 and/or not an integer. In pre-standard code, NULL was/is sometimes defined to something unsuitable and therefore had/has to be avoided. That's less common these days.
