Wildcards are interpreted by the shell before your program gets a chance to touch them. If you want them passed as literals, then escape them so that they're not interpreted as wildcards: $ python ./arch.py install \*

> There is no pass by value when it comes to a function with array as the parameter. It's the other way around. There's no pass by reference in C, period. When passing an array, you're passing the address as a pointer *by value*.

Sorry, we don't allow discussion of hacking on Daniweb.

> You should use <iostream> and <cmath> (all C++ standard headers don't have the .h, and all those taken from C (like math.h, stdlib.h, stdio.h, etc.) also omit the .h and are prefixed with the letter c).

At its simplest you'd have something like this just to store the characters: #include <stdio.h> #define EXPR_MAX 255 int main(void) { FILE *in = fopen("c:\\test1.txt", "r"); if (in) { char expr[EXPR_MAX]; size_t n = 0; int ch; while ((ch = getc(in)) != EOF) { expr[n++] = (char)ch; } fclose(in); /* …

So...is your question how to turn these classes into templates?

Using the initializer list you can take advantage of initialization rules: #include <iostream> using namespace std; struct a { double id; int tag; char array[10]; }; int main() { a var1 = {100, 1, "The City"}; a var2 = var1; cout << "var2.id = " << var2.id << endl; cout …

[Read the documentation](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa376868(v=vs.85).aspx), it includes [an example](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa376871(v=vs.85).aspx).

So you're supposed to do this project, but you're asking for someone to send it to you? I'm sorry, but that sounds a lot like you're asking others to do your project for you.

Assuming the time part of your date is consistent (such as midnight), it's a simple check against getdate(): "select * from usernames where [Username] = '" & TextBox2.Text & "' and [Password] = '" & TextBox1.Text & "' and [ExpiresOn] >= getdate()" You might also consider using parameterized queries instead …

According to [the manual](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/70x4wcx1.aspx) WriteLine() returns void, you can't assign that to `answer[i]`.

I assume you're asking about the ternary operator. This: 'left': (direction === 0) ? '-100%' : '100%' Is roughly equivalent to this: if (direction === 0) { 'left': '-100%'; } else { 'left': '100%'; } So it's just a expressionized version of an if..else statement.

`continue` is a keyword in C++. Use a different name.

> What I don't understand is, would a real world program have a default constructor AND a constructor with parameters? Certainly, if there's a case where the class could initialize itself to a predictable state without help from the caller. One example might be an empty string, so std::string has …

[How would you do it on paper?](http://www.wikihow.com/Convert-from-Decimal-to-Binary) The first task is to understand the problem and solve it manually, step by step. Then you'll be in a better position to translate those steps into C++.

Manually? With Excel scripting? Using third party code using an Excel library? Your question is specific as far as what you want to happen, but vague in terms of how you're looking to accomplish it.

Pointers are built-in types, they don't have constructors per se. If you want your ppointers to be null, make them null explicitly. student *head = 0; student *tail = 0; Assuming those pointers are members of another class then you can certainly use the default constructor to make them null.: …

> _getcwd() is a win32 api function. Not sure the replacement for *nix getcwd() in <unistd.h>. ;) For processing the contents of a directory, you'd probably end up using opendir(), readdir(), and closedir(): DIR *dir = opendir("."); if (dir) { struct dirent *info; while ((info = readdir(dir))) { cout << …

Keep a running sum of the numbers, that way you can keep a single variable for the currently entered number and reuse it in a loop.

Start by listing the features you want to support, as those will tend to dictate your implementation more than anything.

Handle the [form closing event](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.form.formclosing.aspx).

Of the listed languages, Perl is the closest to C/C++. Python and Lua are syntactically in different families. By the way, if by "hacking" you mean breaking into systems and such, please note that Daniweb does not allow that kind of discussion.

Here's a simple example: #include <iostream> class foo { public: virtual void action() const { std::cout << "foo\n"; } }; class bar: public foo { public: virtual void action() const { std::cout << "bar\n"; } }; class baz: public foo { public: virtual void action() const { std::cout << "baz\n"; …

Everything *must* be declared before it's used. A function prototype is the function signature without a body and terminated by a semicolon: #include<conio.h> #include<stdio.h> #include<math.h> int input_data1(void); void display(void); void main(void) { input_data1(); } int input_data1(void) { int input; printf("\n\n**************CPU Scheduling*************\n"); printf("|\tChoose CPU Scheduling:\t\t|\n|\t1.

I've been using Windows 8 exclusively at home for a few months now and haven't experienced any problems in IE, Chrome, or Firefox. The problem you're describing sounds a lot like a zoom issue. Reset your zoom (usually with something like ctrl+0) and see if that fixes the "awkward".

There are a number of problems with your code. Most notable are the sort doesn't actually sort, you're not actually using an array, and inputFromUser() is storing data in a local variable that gets leaked away on every iteration of the loop. Worse, you're in SortArray() assuming that this not …

In text mode the newline sequence will be converted to '\n', this is true for any platform. In binary mode you're on your own, no translation will occur so on Windows you need to look for and handle newlines in the form of CRLF. But it's problematic because you can …

Clearly not an interview question as such a question would be illegal (in both your country and mine).

> Please tell me how to optimise. Delete the printf() line. I/O constitutes some of the most, if not *the* most time intensive operations. On a side note, your code exhibits undefined behavior by accessing uninitialized memory. There's no guarantee that the program *won't* crash intermittently.

Just to be clear, are you using Turbo C++ because you're forced to by a teacher or employer, or because you've chosen to use it? Because if it's the latter, I'd *strongly* recommend installing a compiler that isn't over 20 years old.
