initialize( x , y , z ) << endl ; You can't do this in C++ esp when initialize doesn't return anything and even if it did, you aren't specifying the stream to which the output should be redirected.

Daniweb is run by a girl name Dani.

Why not try

True fans of megadeath startedbanging thier skulls while rectifying bug-infested guitars.

Another approach would be :

delete from TABLE_NAME T where rowid not in 
   (select max(rowid) 
    from TABLE_NAME R 
    where R.common_column = T.common_column;) ;

Here common_column is the criteria for filtering out duplicates.

space

There is little or almost no activity in that region. It can be either because of the reason just put forward by David. If no serious configuration / change is required, its worth a try.

and all so

Consideration must be made while considering the pressing matters at hand.

But practically speaking, a sorting algo having O(n) as its worst case would be hard to get by. I guess the only choice the OP is left with is to pick a nice O(n log(n)) algo and make custom changes to it (depending on the problem statement) to bring it down to O(n) though achieving O(n) for worst case still looks kind of impossible.

And the reason Smoothsort is rarely used is because of the difficulty faced in its implementation.

Long live the games at 'Geeks Lounge'.... :D

> You people are weird
...wired would be more like it. :D

or else Vista...

I have used that card and it performs fairly good when running Windows XP and even high end games. Like Joey said, its some Vista thing, no graphic card suckiness.

Yes. Take for eg Dani or my name and you would know...

Most of you are really going to hate me for this, but Dani asked...

• The smilies here suck. Not so much these ones: :cheesy::twisted::rolleyes:, but I especially hate these ones: :):mad:;). The smile hardly looks like a smile! It looks more like some half-embarrassed cheesy hunk. I still use them occaisionally, as sometimes it's my only way to get my point across. If you want an idea of what I like as smilies, check out cprogramming.

Yay, so when is the change going to happen... :D

• The "quick reply" box is too small for anything more than a sentance or two. Personally I don't care about the ads as they're blocked, but I understand the arguments for it already, and won't open a new debate.

Agreed on this one...

• And of course I hate IntelliTXT, but again there was already a debate on this, I'm not going to reopen the wounds.

The taboo topic on this forum...

• I'm not very fond of the Geek's Lounge. The posts are generally boring, and perhaps I would close some of the more-stupid threads to keep the discussion a little bit more lively.

• Don't flame me for this one either! The word games are like the worst thing I have ever seen in an off-topic forum. I can't stand these threads that go on for years and years, and they are ultra-boring. Plus members get super-high post counts from just adding to story or making up a new word. It …

That being... :D

It still bugs me when people keep suggesting someone upgrade just because a new version comes out. That's not always recommended.

You are welcome. :D

and you would

God, hmm....different people have different opinions about god.

Have you tried out SmoothSort ?

Its best case is O(n) and worst case is O(n log(n)) with the obvious downfall of difficult to implement.

Place the statement getchar() at the end of your program just before return 0 (if you have one) and then compile and run.

As for free IDE's look here.

and act on

Lie has become an integral part of our life.

haters alike. Try

Yes, that can be a possibility.

Try doing Run -> dxdiag and run all the DirectX related tests. They will let you know whether your card supports DX10 or not.

Maybe you should stop giving your little sister your problems to solve.

:mrgreen:

For example, have you guys upgraded to Vista? XP is so old... :twisted:

Sorry couldn't resist this... Is Vista free ? I guess no. Good compilers are not hard to get by, so the only reason for not upgrading would be laziness or some genuine project constraint....

Heh, sorry if my small joke freaked you out... :D

Thanks. Just let us know when that happens.

If using WinXP goto Control Pane -> Administrative Tools -> Data Sources (ODBC).

You get effort divided.

PM notifications for commets on code snippets... Its one of the reasons why I stopped posting code snippets.

Keeping the ALT key pressed, try out different number key combinations and you would find a lot of characters to suit your need. And stop hijacking someone else's thread. If you have a question, post in in a thread of your own.

SOS, you always talk about your pain and only you know about it,

Correction. Not my pain, good old Pain, the pain which is in everyone's life.

so I'm not gonna patronise you although I was tempted :) .

I don't expect it, I never have and never will, so save your breath.

I have come to realise there are two kinds of people in life. Those who had a crappy time and go around in a big sulk. And those who had a crappy time, forget about it, then get on with life.

...and the third kind who don't have any other choice than sulk.

Try to avoid the former because you might become so consumed with bitterness you find life passes you by so quickly.

And by the time you're realised what a fool you've been it's too late to change......

Easier said than done. But then again, like I said before, people can only pretend to understand. In the end, everyone is on his own. Hope no one gets to experience what "pain" is....

Vista comes with DirectX 10.

There are some issues for software developers using some of the graphics APIs in Vista. Games or programs which are built on Vista's version of DirectX, 10, will not work on prior versions of Windows, as DirectX 10 is not backwards-compatible with DirectX 9.

Congratulations my friend. Hope it feels good to have a star shine by your name... ;)

-if I use strings, I suddenly lose the ability to use strcmp, perhaps there's some side to this function that I'm unaware of?

Nope you don't. Just use the normal comparision operator (==) for comparing C++ strings.
