Where can i get "free" I.C. and PCB simulation applications like SPICE?

I am looking for any legal "free" or open-source copies of the SPICE simulator or any equivalent application. Any copies which are educational and which have good tutorials and help files with them would be ideal. Applications which can do any or all of the following: Integrated Circuit (IC), Board (PCB) level, digital or analog signals, mixed mode. If you can let me know which OS to run under (Win or Linux) then that would be cool.

How come all of my c++ programs cut off to soon?

every time i try to run a program they get to the least output and just cut off before i can see anything.i have tried to use system("pause"); and cin.get(); return 1;but neither work.all the tutorials say to use system("pause") but it doesnt work so somebody said to use cin.get(); return 1; so i did and it only works some of the time but cuts off.what can i do to make system ("pause"); work?





#include %26lt;iostream%26gt;


using namespace std;


int main(){


int myArray[3];





cout %26lt;%26lt; "Enter a number: ";


cin %26gt;%26gt; myArray[0];





cout %26lt;%26lt; "Enter a second number: ";


cin %26gt;%26gt; myArray[1];





myArray[2] = myArray[0]+myArray[1];





cout %26lt;%26lt; "The sum is: " %26lt;%26lt; myArray[2];





system ("pause");


}





other 1





#include %26lt;iostream%26gt;


using namespace std;


int main(){


int myArray[3];





cout %26lt;%26lt; "Enter a number: ";


cin %26gt;%26gt; myArray[0];

myArray[2] = myArray[0]+myArray[1];





cout %26lt;%26lt; "The sum is: " %26lt;%26lt; myArray[2];





cin.get();





return 1;

How come all of my c++ programs cut off to soon?
What you can do is open a DOS shell (or whatever Windows uses) and run the program directly from the command line. You will have to cd into the directory where the programs reside.


How to get a C#.NET program to use data in my MySQL database?

I currently have a website with user info and data stored on a MySQL database. I would like to (begin to) create a desktop version of my website, and would like to pull the user's information (such as username and password) from the online database to my local app. Does anyone know of a website that has tutorials to help me accomplish this?

How to get a C#.NET program to use data in my MySQL database?
I haven't used this component, but the recommended way to access databases is to use a Database Provider for that database. That way, if you want to upgrade databases in the future or even maybe migrate to a different database, you might be able to do that by simply replacing the Database Provider





Here is a MySQL Database Provider for dotNET

Theoretically, if you use this code, you can use any standard tutorial describing a connection to a different database (like MS SQL) and the application will work.

Need help with C++ FSTREAMS!?

This is a very simple code i made to learn how to use fstream:





------------------


#include %26lt;fstream%26gt;


#include %26lt;iostream%26gt;


#include %26lt;cstdlib%26gt;


#include %26lt;string%26gt;


using namespace std;





int main() {


string a;


fstream cra;


cra.open("tape.txt");


if (cra.fail()) cout %26lt;%26lt; "not working" %26lt;%26lt; endl;


cra %26lt;%26lt; "blah blah blah" %26lt;%26lt; endl;


cra %26gt;%26gt; a;


cout %26lt;%26lt; a %26lt;%26lt; endl;


cra.close();


}


------------------





the program inputs the text "blah blah blah" into the file just fine, but it has trouble reading it. I don't really know how to read the file, that's the reason, and the tutorials on various websites haven't helped me.





So can anyone tell me how I can read from the file? Thanks.

Need help with C++ FSTREAMS!?
the problem is that once u write blah blah blah the cursor in the file moves to the end of blah blah blah and after that there is nothing first move cursor to start of file then take input from file it will work.

M.a.c makeup?

so.. i wanted to go buy some more mac shadows.. but i've been looking at those youtube tutorials with the mac pigment that look really nice.. does anyone know about which one is better or turns out brighter?

M.a.c makeup?
They're all really great. If you think ones too dark you could put a lighter color underneath or use a shadestick to make it pop more.
Reply:I love M.A.C.! They have the best colors. :)


There are different types of eyeshadow that they cary. Some types have more shades than others.


FROST : An iridescent shine that adds a highlight to any colour. This is good for subtleness.


LUSTRE : Smoothly pearlized; intensely frosted with deluxe ultra-fine conditioned finish.


MATTE : Hi-colour pay-off in a no-shine matte finish. These are pretty thick if you want a lot of pigment.


MATTE² : Intense, opaque matte finish with exceptionally rich color payoff. They go on realllly thick, so if you're looking for bright, rich color, this is your best bet.


SATIN: Pure colour in a satin-style finish. Provides a soft, subtle, non-frost, light-refractive sheen. Also good for highlighting, if you get a light shade.


VELUXE (VLX): Superfine pigment rich and very luxe. Supple to apply. Provides silky smooth matte finish.


VELUXE PEARL (VP): Vibrantly toned. Velvety soft. Shimmeringly metallic. Veluxe eye shadow, now overlaid with high-shine pearl.


VELVET (V): Soft-look finish with high-colour intensity. Has a plush velvety look and feel.


If you go to a M.A.C. makeup counter at Nordstrom, they'll be happy to help you find a nice shade. My favorite shade is Honesty. Good luck! :)

C## Game prgramming?

Im looking to make a morpg like www.tibia.com. I'v asked them if they have any book suggestions or tips for where to start but they said they couldnt help me out. Anyone here got any tutorials or E-books that can help me. Im a complete beginner so need to start at the begining. thanks...

C## Game prgramming?
You can do programming in C#, but that's not the only choice.


If you already have a copy of C# community edition, you can also download something called XNA studio for free.





This is a new wrapper around MS DirectX technology that's quite a bit easier. I didn't say easy. Just easier. Game programming is hard. You can learn it (I've taught hundreds) but you need to be willing to work hard.





My advice?


Learn to program first. The language doesn't matter that much, because you'll learn several before you're done. Don't start with C / C++. While they're good languages and they are used in professional games, they still aren't the best choice for beginners. They are frustrating and difficult languages, and most who begin with them give up before writing a single game. Look at any gaming book in C and you'll agree with me.





I strongly encourage you to learn game programming in 2D first. This will give you the opportunity to learn the things game programmers need to know in a more forgiving atmosphere. Learn things like:


* basic programming concepts - variables and statements


* control structures - loops, branches, functions


* data structures, arrays, dictionaries, objects





Then move on to some gaming ideas, like:


* sprites


* basic movement


* graphics and blitting


* basic motion


* collision detection


* game and sprite states





When you've got these things, you can build pretty much any 2D game.





You'll also have the confidence to handle one of the more challenging 3D environments.





Back to language choices: If your heart is set on C#, it's pretty good, with XNA. You should also consider Flash (most commercially viable game programming skill - EVERYBODY - wants a flash game on thier site.)





I've had great success teaching game programming with Python. It's quite an interesting choice:


* It's free and open source


* It runs on virtually any hardware


* It's nearly as fast as C (because it uses the same graphics engines)


* It's a friendly, easy-to-read language





Feel free to check out my notes on flash

C++ Arrays and Input files?

I have an input file and there are three variables in each line. How can I take the variables (say x, y, z) and put y and z into two different arrays?





In other words:


(Input file reads : x y z)





Input %26gt;%26gt; x %26gt;%26gt; y %26gt;%26gt; z





y and z needs to be in two different arrays to find mean of each array .





I know its vague, but I can't think of a better way to explain it. I've tried looking at some Array tutorials, but I get lost. Thanks for any help.

C++ Arrays and Input files?
I'm not sure this helps explain anything to you because you don't make it clear what you aren't understanding. So hopefully this helps somewhat.





int main()


{


int x;


int a[10] = {0};


int b[10] = {0};





ifstream infile("mydata.dat");





int i = 0;





while (infile)


{


infile %26gt;%26gt; x %26gt;%26gt; a[i] %26gt;%26gt; b[i];


//presumably do something with x too


i++;


}





for (int j = 0; j %26lt; i - 1; ++j)


{


cout %26lt;%26lt; a[j] %26lt;%26lt; " " %26lt;%26lt; b[j] %26lt;%26lt; endl;


}


}
Reply:from what i understand.





you want something like


int x[50], y[50], z[50];





for (i = 0; i %26lt; 50; ++i)


ifs %26gt;%26gt; x[i] %26gt;%26gt; y[i] %26gt;%26gt; z[i];





An array in C/C++ is declared as


eg: int arr[50];


The caveat is that array index start from 0 not 1.


So arr[0] is valid in C/C++.


The last value in the array is arr[49] not arr[50]


To reference an element in an array.


Use this form: arr[n] where n is any integer value.


It is recommended that n is not less than 0 and not greater than or equal to the maximum declared. In this case, n should be any value from 0 to 49.


Hope this makes things a little clearer on arrays.

How do I use the radio buttons in microsoft visual studio using visual c++?

i am new to visual studio and i need help understanding how i can use the various items in the toolbox... i havent found a good tutorial yet, that shows exactly how to use the different tools in the toolbox and how their properties can be accessed so that for instance if im making a program that can add or subtract two operands, i can decide what the output will be at runtime when the user choses either a radiobutton called add or the other one called subtract...





if such simple tasks take so long to learn then i donno how the more complicated tasks can be handled...

I am a +2 Student with basic c++ knowledge.i want 2 b a cracker(hacker).Just tell me what the hell to do nxt?
Er, a hacker of what? Networks? Program hacking? Program hacking requires knowledge of Assembly language and programming knowledge of the functions that the operating system provides (e.g. file reading %26amp; writing, allocating memory, etc.)


You'll also need information about how the operating system works.


You mention Python, so I guess you're programming in Linux/Unix. I don't know about programming in those environments but there are free assemblers and debuggers that you can download. First, you should be comfortable with programming within the Linux/Unix environment, then you should learn Assembly Language. After that, you should get comfortable with making programs entirely in Assembly Language. After that, you'll have the knowledge to hack Linux/Unix executable files.


Here's an Assembly language book that you can download:


http://webster.cs.ucr.edu/


Search the Internet %26amp; find Assembly source files that you can examine.





As for network hacking, you need to know all about networks and hacking techniques. Books are probably the best way to go. Get a book on the IP protocol, a book on network communication, and a book on network security (to give you some idea on how attacks are initiated). You need to be very familiar with using the network programming functions in Linux/Unix too.





Those 'how to be a hacker' articles %26amp; books are mostly nonsense. Once you gain the knowledge of how something works right down to the lowest level, the 'hacking' knowledge will take care of itself.
Reply:Contact your local internet police station and get their help in developing such softwares
Reply:Just keep searching google more specifically on what you want to do. I would suggest you check out "buffer overflow" or "Denial of Service Attack".
Reply:Sorry, to be a real hacker, cracker, whitehat or blackhat you'll have to figure this stuff out for yourself.
Reply:hacking is pretty much dead. contribute to the open source community, do something useful with your life. there is more to life then creating a keygen for fuzzy puppy v5.0. you know there is kids dying at this moment, but here you are asking a crappy question. when you die, do you seriously want to be remembered as the fuzzy puppy keygen guy? or the guy that took down the walmart website for .05687 of a second?


How do you make a keylogger in c++? (for educational purposes at my classes)?

i have chosen to programme this for my claases, could anywone tell me the answer (e-mail) or direct me to a tutorial

How do you make a keylogger in c++? (for educational purposes at my classes)?
If you want to make it in C or C++ you need to make a program that is TSR i.e. Terminate and Stay Resident ... Such kind of programs stay in memory even if you exit Turbo C or Dos Shell...





Once you learn to make that... then learn to how to write Interrupt Vectors ... and then you have to replace the function that resopnds to keyboard interrupt with your own.. in which you will be intercepting all the keys and storing them all to a buffer or any other file... and then calling normal keyboard interrupt vector function again...





So that is the procedure...





If you want to learn more about that you can refer Yashwant Kanetkar's book about Terminate and Stay Resident Programs... in that he has given a C code for a key logger...





Hope this answer will satisfy you...

How do i iterate through files in c++?

i'm writing a program that handles a list of files. i don't know what the files are named. what i need to know is something like all the files ending in *.txt in a specific folder.





also, i would appreciate if someone could give me a link to a tutorial or something for things like this (file handling).

How do i iterate through files in c++?
you can use FindFirst(), and FindNext() functions. the link below isnt the greatest example of how to use them, but if you have some time you could probably find better examples.
Reply:The exact way to do this will depend on your operating system. For example, if you are in Windows, then you can fork a process and run the command "dir *.txt %26gt; blah.dat". Then, your C++ program can open blah.dat and parse it to find the names of the files.





This is one way to do it. There might be some Win32 system system calls that do the same thing. I suggest you comb through MSDN if you're running on Windows, and using the UNIX man pages if you're running on UNIX. If you can't find anything then I think the above way will do the job.
Reply:You can use the opendir(3) and readdir(3) C library calls to open a directory and iterate through files directly, or use glob(3) to do the pattern matching automatically.


Those are part of the POSIX interface, so they should be available on most systems.

http://nova.umuc.edu/~jarc/sdsd/





We have to demonstrate concepts learned in lessons 1-7. This includes:


Assignments and arithmetic expressions (+, -, /, *)


And the logical expressions if, or, else, and while





We have 7 more hours of class time before it is due and I have the resources to work on it outside of school.





Tic-Tac-Toe was my first choice but someone else is using it.

Idea for a beginner's C++ Project?
You could set up a program that users can ask for a certain digit in different mathematical series. Say like I say I want the Fibonacci series with the 20 digit of the series. Just pick a couple different series to put in and than program it to figure out the digits from it. That would be a sight to see if you ask me. Hope this is a good one for you.

How do i split my c++ code into various source files?

im using eclipse with CDT. my program works right now as a single source file. i want to split into various, so is easier to keep coding. i have problems with includes and stuff. what is the right way to do this? i didnt find any tutorial for this.. thanks

How do i split my c++ code into various source files?
Separate out the functions, according to what makes sense to you, into additional .cpp files. You can right-click on the project name to add the new files. Write declarations for those functions in a header file or files (e.g. filename "mystuff.h"). Then in whichever .cpp files use those functions, put #include "mystuff.h" at the top. Name the .h file or files in a way organized to relate to the .cpp files whose functions they declare. Think about how you would most conveniently re-use the functions later.

Iam finding difficult in learning c++ programming?

will anyone tell me the book which is easy 2 read %26amp; pls tell me the free online tutorial?

Iam finding difficult in learning c++ programming?
I like Herb Schildt's books, and you can certainly find plenty of them on Amazon. Check out the link below, and read the reviews.
Reply:I really like the cplusplus.com language tutorial. Link below...
Reply:Well I like the Prentice Hall books on C++ and C#


Right now I'm learning VB6 and I bought the "Visual Basic for dummies guide for $30 from the local bookstore. I also got VB for the complete idiot from our local library and that came with a working model edition that can be installed on any computer for learning purposes only. It goes through the whys and Wheres instead of going directly to the hows. Which is educationally better maybe but annoying.


Need help with dev c++ compiler error, attempting to use directx?

I am having problems compiling this program. It is probably too long to be posting here, although it's really not long at all. It is the program for the tutorial located here http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library...





When I try to compile, it says 31 errors, but most if not all appear to be warnings (idk if warnings prevent compilation). They are:





'pragma once' is obselete in strsafe.h





'com_interface' only supported with


-fvtable-thunks in unknwn.h





and the rest say (theres a lot of em):


'com_interface' attribute directive ignored 'com_interface' only supported with -fvtable-thunks





Thanks for your time. I really do appreciate being able to ask questions here cuz i get lost a lot.

Need help with dev c++ compiler error, attempting to use directx?
Just from first glance, it seems like you have a header declaration problem. Are you sure your INCLUDE path is pointing the the correct version of the headers you need?





Most warnings should not prevent a compile, but they often indicate problems that will cause runtime errors, so they really should be fixed.


Can you please explain to me how to make a C++ class?

I have looked everywhere for the tutorials, but none of them explain the answer fully. I think I get a good idea of it, then I run into something I don't unbderstand, so then I look for another tutorial and they explain it in a whole diofferent matter that confuses me. So far, this is what I think a class is





class person


{


int age;


int height;


char *name; (which I have no Idea what a character pointer is for)


char *nationality;


char *gender;


}


occupation; (Would occupation be an object of the person class?





And please explain what constructors and deconstructors are, and what they are used for (I think constructors are used to bring an object to life)


I would prefer if you made a class with a deconstructor and constructor and explain in detail with as simple an explanatiopn as possible.


THANK YOU!!!!!

Can you please explain to me how to make a C++ class?
It appears to me that you are beginning to have the basics down.





A class is a template to be used in creating an object. The class defines properties (variables) and behaviors (methods) that the object will possess.





From your example, occupation is a property of a person, and can be a reference to an occupation object as you mentioned.





You could then go further and define a method called changeOccupation or setOccupation that will allow you to change the occupation of that person object.





This combination of property and behavior define a class.





Constructors:





person::person() {


//do nothing


}





or





person::person(int iAge, int iHeight, ...) {


age = iAge;


height = iHeight;


}





Constructors are special class methods that you use to create the class. These methods can contain code that sets the "initial conditions" of the object when it's created, or allow the user of the class to pass values that will be used to set these initial conditions of the object. For instance you could use the constructor to set the age, height, etc of your person object when you create them.





Destructors:





person::~person() {


cout %26lt;%26lt; "Exiting Person Class Destructor!!!" %26lt;%26lt; "\n";


}





Destructors are called when the object made from the class is being destroyed, and will allow the class to clean up after itself (for instance closing database connections, or cleaning up pointers, etc.)





Check out Bruce Eckel's "Thinking in C++" you can download them for free from his site. I think he does a great job of explaining programming languages so you can understand them... not just the "how" but also the "why".

Need Help in C#?

hi,


how can i creat a tool like richtextbox that it can read the images and hyper texts and...,i know it for XML files but waht about inserting images and tables?? , is there any tutorial PLZ??

Need Help in C#?
You are talking about writing a custom control. Google that, there are a lot of forums and tutorials out there about building custom controls in .NET
Reply:The built in Rich Text control handles images and hyperlinks, you only have to hookup a few event handlers to deal with them. I'm sure if you go into help in visual studio and search for topics on the RichText control, you'll find more information, probably articles and sample code.

I am writing C++ and I have a question.?

Ok I am writing a DOS program, I am using a tutorial, I am doing variables, and I need to make sure that I wrote it correct, for the right output in the screen, but the screen only pops up for about a milisecond, and I dont know how to fix that.

I am writing C++ and I have a question.?
Add the following line before "return 0;":


system("pause");





There's also:


cin.get(); // C++


getchar(); // C





Explanation: The CMD windows is opened to execute your program. When the program terminates, the CMD windows has to close. This is normal. So if you don't want you program to execute and terminate quickly, you have to pause your program some way.
Reply:At the end of the program right before "return 0;", write this:





system("PAUSE");





That fixed the problem that I had on my first programs too.


Good luck!!! ;-)
Reply:You could put a cin %26gt;%26gt; b; statement at the very end of the program. This will cause it to wait for your input.


Depending on the your devlopement environment, you could also set a break point somewere before the end of the program.


Figure of speech- C.A. help?

what figures of speech are these like similes metaphors personification...etc.?


1. from the day mr radley took arthur home, people say the house died.


2. she looked and smelled like a peppermind drop


3. ...but jem was a poor example. no tutorial ever devised by man could have stopped him from getting at books.


4. jem looked at me furiously, could not decline, ran down the sidewalk, treaded water at the gate, then dashed in and retrieved the tire.


5. miss rachel went off like the town fire siren: "Do-o-o"


6. She was bullet-headed with strange almond-shaped eyes...and an indian-bow mouth


7. "For a while" in Maycomb meant anything from three days to thirty years.


8. Lightnings rods guarding some graves denoted dead who rested uneasily; stumps of burned-out candles stood at the heads of infant graves. It was a happy cemetary.


9. Zeebo cleared his throat and read in a voice like the rumble of a distant artillery.





any of those are appreciated! i'm horrible at this. ha! THANKS!!!

Figure of speech- C.A. help?
"A good book is like a good meal." A simile suggesting that a book may be as ( mentally) nourishing and satisfying as a meal. It will usually have the word like in it.





"A wire is a road for electrons." A metaphor suggesting that electrons actually do use a wire as a road to travel on.





A mixed metaphor is an incongruous phrase like, "Early success can be a liability."





Personification gives human qualities to non-human things.





Litotes are gross understatements. Queen Victoria's phrase, "We are not amused" is a famous example.





Meiosis are little snotty nicknames, like calling a mechanic a grease monkey.





Hyperbole is a dramatic overstatement. I'm starving to death.





Epithet...using an appropriate adjective to characterize something, like a blood red sky or a stone cold heart.





A malapropism is a misuse of words because of a similiarity. Famous one by Dan Quayle: Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child." He meant bonding.





Metonomy is substituting a word or phrase for another closely related term, like crown for royalty. "Have you read Faulkner?" rather than have you read Faulkner's books. Sometimes people refer to the art and science of theatre as "The Theatre".





Syllepsis is using one term to describe two different things, like "He lost the game and his temper."





Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds, like softly snowing.





Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds, but I can't think of one.





Euphemism is the use of a "more polite" term, like saying someone passed away, instead of died or calling false teeth dentures. Saying someone is chubby instead of fat.





Maybe this will help you to understand figures of speech and you can figure these out for yourself...that was syllepsis.

.NET is not a language my friend. It is just a "group" of languages, that can communicate with each through .NET standards.


Do you want to learn the .NET architecture, i.e. what is the .net standards OR do you actually want to learn one of .NET languages?





The most prominent of .NET languages is C# and you probably will not need any prior language knowledge. It's good to know OOP approach and such.





If I were you I'd just take a university course in algorithms and object oriented programming (no matter what they teach them in - even if in Java).

In C++, two different ways to build 'Hello World'. What's the difference?

im not really sure if the code will come up here.





like.. well..


here's the link , at the bottom you'll see the question i asked with a name called 'Wesley':





http://www.learncpp.com/cpp-tutorial/06-...





i think that link takes you directly to the comment i made.





i'll click 'add details' to this question and attempt to put the code. if it works, woohoo. if not, use the link.

In C++, two different ways to build 'Hello World'. What's the difference?
Your code syntax is wrong...you don't need to declare the main() before implementing it, other functions need to be declared as prototype and then, implement it and then call it in function main.





Remember the main(), is the function where the program starts to execute.





Yes, there are thousands of ways just to print the "hello world".
Reply:Humm, looks a little bit hard to understand your question, I assume you are asking the differences between:


===(a)=====================


#include %26lt;iostream%26gt;


int main()


{


using namespace std;


cout %26lt;%26lt; "Hello world!" %26lt;%26lt; endl;


cin.get();


return 0;


}





=====================





And:





===(b)=====================


#include %26lt;iostream%26gt;





int main();


int main()


{


std::cout %26lt;%26lt; "Hello World!n";


return 0;


}


=====================





First, the 2 statements on case (b) "int main()", are because usually when you use a function inside another, you first have to declare the used function, if its code is below the function that calls it. But in this case it doesn't look to be necessary, since there is only one function (main). You would need to declare it in this case:





void somefunction();


int main()


{


somefunction();


return 0;


}


void somefunction()


{


//do something


}





But you can avoid declaring first somefunction() if you write the code of somefunction above main(), that is:





void somefunction()


{


//do something


}





int main()


{


somefunction();


return 0;


}





Now, about:


using namespace std;


allows you to write: cout %26lt;%26lt; "Hello world!" %26lt;%26lt; endl;


Else you would have to write:


std::cout %26lt;%26lt; "Hello World!n";





(I guess you mean \n instead !n, since \n=endl);





The problem with c++ is that compilers are not absolutely compatible among them, you can use ms vc++ for compiling something and then borland or gnu c won't accept it.


So maybe some things are optional in one compiler, but other would accept only one of them.


C++ keeping remainder of integer problem?

I'm coding a program for school, it is a vending machine. Bassically my program takes in an integer input (no floating point) from the user up to 2.00$ and then outputs the correct amount of coins to give back to the user (quarters,dimes,nickels). I've figured out how to display the coins on an integer, however i can't figure out how to keep the remainder of the integer after i get the intial cin %26gt;%26gt; from the user. If i put in 1.66 for example it just closes down the program. If anyone can help or point me in the direction of a tutorial i would appreciate it alot

C++ keeping remainder of integer problem?
I would guess that if you are allowing your user to input 1.66, and you must process everything in integer, then you need to parse the input as a string and generate two integer values that are added together.





For example, this small function will accept a character string and return the number of cents:





int buf2cents( char *buf )


{


int cents = 0;


char *token;





token = strchr( buf, '.' ); /* point at decimal */


*token++ = 0; /* convert into second string */


cents = atoi( buf ) * 100 /* convert dollar value into 100s of cents*/





if( token != NULL )


cents += atoi( token ); /* convert cents to integer and add */





return cents;


}





If you are keeping the price of your items as integers (cents) the change is simple subtraction, and it sounds like you have worked out how to do the math to know what coins to return.
Reply:try converting your input into floating point bec. your program's variables are initialized as integers and yet you put in floating point input. in short, the program is expecting integers and you give it floating point.


C++ windows.h help?

Can you explain the


"win Main(HINSTANCE hInstance,


HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,


LPSTR LPCmdLine,


int SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)"





and


"winclass.sizeof


winclass. style


winclass.lpfnwndproc


winclass.cbclsextra"





Please explain these and if you have a website tutorial can you please send it?





Thanks

C++ windows.h help?
winclass.sizeof is the size of the structure so when you pass the structure to a function requiring winclass structure, the function can determine if it is running in 16-bit mode, 32-bit mode or 64-bit mode.


winclass.style determines how a window should be created and whether it should have a title, use a system menu, use minimize and maximize buttons and so forth.


winclass.cbclsextra is amount of extra space to reserve for application defined data.


WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE prevhInstance, LPSTR LPCmdLine, int cmdShow)


hInstance is the numeric identifier of your program, allows you to identify programs by number.


prevhInstance is 0 if this program is not already running or running under Windows 32/64 bit system.


prevhInstance is non zero if this program is already running in 16 bit Windows system.


LPCmdLine stores the arguments of the program passed.


cmdShow is how the Main Window is shown


By default it is a window set in a certain position and size.


SW_SHOWMINIMIZED is a window that has been minimized.


SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED is a window covering whole screen.


[C++] Given a directory, retrieve all files and subdirectories?

OK, so I need to write this function capable of traversing a directory and retrieving its files (and properties) grouped in subdirectories (if the case).





I will use the stuff retrieved to populate a MySQL table, but the MySQL-part is the simplest ingredient of the task.





I will highly appreciate if you point me to a tutorial or a code snippet.

[C++] Given a directory, retrieve all files and subdirectories?
no special library needed. just use FindFirstFile() and FindNextFile() functions;





FindFirstFile() takes the arguments: pointer to a string with the file name you want, and a file data structure.





simply to use





WIN32_FIND_DATA FileData;


char file[MAX_PATH];


HANDLE hnd;


DWORD attribute;


int error;





//fill in the file array with the directory in question


strcpy(file, "c:\\mydirectory\\");


//add the wildcard search


strcat(file, "*");


attribute = FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY | FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN;


hnd = FindFirstFile(file, %26amp;FileData);


if (hnd != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)


{


__if ((FileData.dwAttributes %26amp; attribute) = FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY)


_____//FileData.cFileName contains the subdirectory name


__do


__{


____error = FindNextFile(hnd, FileData);


____if (error != 0)


____{


______if ((FileData.dwAttributes %26amp; attribute) = FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY)


________//FileData.cFileName contains the next subdirectory name


____}


__}


__while (error != 0);


}

I think you were asking about the color shift and reduction in color saturation.





All that can be done in Photoshop by playing with the color and hue settings.





Someone who graduated from RIT may have the answer. Color shifts while developing film can be caused by changes in pH, over use of chemistry without replenishment and other things

Hello.


I need some source/s or tutorial/s for convert a MP3 file to a WAV file.


Thank you

C# 10 points......?
Daily MP3 provides step-by-step instructions for converting MP3 files to WAVs.





you can download Winamp and convert some MP3s.





Most CD-R or CD-RW drives come equipped with software that allows you to arrange WAV files to burn onto a blank CD. Using the software and Winamp, you should be able to make your own CDs and blast your favorite tunes from most CD players.





Remember that WAV files are not compressed and can be quite large. Unless you've got unlimited hard-drive space, you might want to ditch the WAV files once you've successfully created a CD.





Also, please keep this in mind: When we're talking about MP3s, we're referring to legal MP3s. You're on your own with the RIAA if you duplicate copyrighted material!

Try not learn a programming language with the heavy use of a particular IDE like Netbeans. That way you know the concepts not fixing yourself on ever changing IDEs. There are lots of good tutorials on Java online you would have to just search.JDK 6 is still new and I am assuming the API would have limited resources for a learner's perspective.

Where can I find a good .NET database app tutorial online?

I am a beginner in .NET. I'm trying to create a simple POS apps, but I don't know how to do it using C#. I'm not familiar w/ .NET's objects. The main topic i'm looking for is the DataGrid objects. How to save the data which is edited in through the datagrid? How to create the app server for this kind of app? I'm planning to create a multiuser apps.

Where can I find a good .NET database app tutorial online?
You will need a Relational Database Management System like Microsoft SQL Server 2005.





Thank You.
Reply:oh man, if you're going to use a datagrid for Adding Editing and Deleting, definitely go for .net 2.0. The Datagrid sux at that on 1.0. of course you could always consider a 3rd party datagrid.

In C++ what is <fstream> good for?

I've just read a tutorial about file i/o at http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/les...





I understand it, but I don't know what it is good for. It seems like this is just an elongated process of writing cout %26lt;%26lt; "text";

In C++ what is %26lt;fstream%26gt; good for?
cout is the output stream that displays text in a console or command prompt if it is not redirected. CGI uses it for HTTP responses. %26lt;fstream%26gt; contains classes for reading/writing files that normally are written to your hard disk or some other secondary storage.

Starting C++ windows programming: frustrating me?

I have got a good handle on dos programming so now I'm starting windows programming. On the first section of the tutorial (message boxes) I was fine. But when I went on the to the second section there was all this crap: http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/simple_w...





The first section was easy but in just advancing one there was so much.


Do I have to memorize all of this? If I do, then can anybody


give me a good method for doing so?

Starting C++ windows programming: frustrating me?
When creating a windowed application in Dev-C++ the editor will place this code for you. But it doesn't hurt to understand how things work and how to manipulate them.
Reply:Simpler if you go with MFC, GUI programming is not standardized and most would tell you to use Resource tools like Visual Studio.
Reply:That is the old SDK C coding method of writing a windows application. So if you want to learn that methodology, then yes, you will need to memorize that every WinMain that displays a window will need a message loop, and every window needs a WndProc to process the event driven messages. Then you will need to learn the hundreds of messages that can be sent to the WndProc based on what you are doing like WM_RESIZE for when the window was resized, WM_CREATE for when the window is created, WM_PAINT for drawing in the window,... Everyone of these messages has an LPARAM and WPARAM which are different based on each message set to the WndProc.





Back when I worked for a CAD company, our main WndProc function was like 2000 lines long, and each pretty much only called a function:





case WM_CREATE:


doCreate();


break;





My advice is to pick a tool that abstracts all this.

C# coding question (really easy)?

Trying to follow a tutorial but every time I debug/run a section of code it only appears on screen for a second. In the tutorial a msdos/cmd box appears but instead of ending it says 'press any key to continue'. Where can I toggle the option to fix this or what is the section of code needed to make a program wait for input before ending?

C# coding question (really easy)?
You can just put a Console.ReadLine(); statement at the end of your main() method to pause the program until the user presses the enter key.
Reply:Just Console.ReadLine() as the last line of your main() method:





main()

Can any one send me some vc++ tutorial thats really good and understandable. thanx?
I advice you to have look at this link:


http://www.thecodeproject.com/





There you can find many topics about Visual C++ (Particularly MFC) which is ranked from beginer to advanced.





And another advice. If you want to get familar with VC++, go to MSDN and try to understand "Microsoft Foundation Classes" architecture, which is called as MFC.





Be Succeed.

Is there a tutorial or even a book I can buy which would show me exactly how to program cell phone games?

I have a lot of experience programming with C++, particularly the Allegro gaming library, and I have started to learn Java, but I can't find out how to make a program compatible with a cell phone or how to put the program onto a cell phone as a game once it is finished.

Is there a tutorial or even a book I can buy which would show me exactly how to program cell phone games?
I haven't delved into this topic much myself, though it's definitely on my to-do list.

Here's the other way to solve a quadratic equation. I'll make this short cause I'm tired and I guess- lazy





Here's how it works.





Pretend we have x^2 + 4x + 3 = 0





x^2 + 4x = -3





b = 4





Add by (b/2)^2 on both sides





(4/2)^2 = 4





x^2 + 4x + 4 = 1





Now we can factor this.





Find b/2 and that will be your blank term of:





(x+_)(x+_) = 1





4/2 = 2





(x+2)(x+2) = 1





(x+2)^2 = 1





x + 2 = -1





x + 2 = 1





x = -3 or -1





When you factor normally you would have gotten:





(x+3)(x+1) = 0





x = -3





x = -1





Now pretend we have an equation:





2x^2 + 10x + 12 = 0





You could divide by 2 on both sides, but let's not.





Multiply the a term with the c term.





(2)(12) = 24





Find a factor pair that will add to 10.





The factor pair is 4 and 6.





Split the equation into 2 groups.





(2x^2 + 4x) + (6x + 12) = 0





Factor the insides





2x(x+2) + 6(x+2) = 0





(2x+6)(x+2) = 0





2(x+3)(x+2) = 0





x = -3 or -2





Hope you've learned something today!

Continuation of Tutorial?
Thanks Kenneth you just explained why the famous quadratic formula (-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a works. However I don't think there is anything new in what you wrote, people have known about completing to squares and etc for a very long time now and your method is not as fast as using the formula.

Quadratic Equations Tutorial?

Quadratic equation is written in the following form:





ax^2 + bx + c = 0





a is the coefficient of x^2 and b is the coefficient of x. c is the constant.





Quadratic equations always have at least 1 root, either real or imaginary.





Roots are possible values of x.





Ways to Solve a Quadratic Equation:





Pretend we have x^2 + 4x - 5





1 = a, b = 4 , c = -5





b = -(sum of roots)





c = product of roots





It's complicated to think about so I'll tell you exactly what to do.





x^2 + 4x - 5 = 0





Find 2 values that multiply to -5 and add up to 4.





With some practice, you can say that 5 and -1 are the numbers.





So then you place the following down:





(x+5)(x-1) = 0





Tha'ts exactly how you factor.





x = -5 or 1





If you didn't want to think you need some memory.





The quadratic formula for finding the roots is:





[ -b +/- sqrt(b^2-4ac) ] / 2a





+/- is plus or minus. When you add you get 1 root and when you subtract you get another root.





To be continued...

Hi, today I'll be teaching a little calculus.





Derivative: Slope of a Tangent Line, Instantaneous Rate of Change





Formula for Derivative: lim h-%26gt;0 [f(x+h)+f(x)]/h





Here are some rules for derivatives:





Sum Rule: f(x) = h(x) + g(x) + ....





f'(x) = h'(x) + g'(x) ....





Product Rule: f(x) = h(x)*g(x)





f'(x) = h'(x)*g(x) + g'(x)*h(x)





Chain Rule: f(x) = g(h(x))





f'(x) = g'(x) * h'(x)





Quotient Rule: f(x) = h(x)/g(x)





f'(x) = [ h'(x)*g(x) - g'(x)h(x) ] / (g(x))^2





Power Rule: f(x) = x^n





f'(x) = nx^(n-1)





Integral: Antiderivative, Area, Volume, Surface Area, Arc Length





Sum Rule: Integral f(x) + g(x) dx = Integral f(x) dx + Integral g(x) dx





Product Rule: c is a constant: Integral c*f(x) dx = c*integral f(x) dx





Power Rule: Integral x^n dx = 1/(n+1)*x^(n+1) + C





Area = Integral (a to b) f(x) dx





Integral x^-1 dx = ln|x| + C





Tomorrow would go back to slope, lines, simultaneous equations. and so on.

What should the next step be for game programming in C++?

I've learned the basics of C++ and have made some simple games, such as Tic-Tac-Toe, but I want to learn how to program graphics in the games. I've tried to learn Directx, but all of the books I've read are way too complex like I missed a step in learning game programming. Does anybody have a suggestion or know any other books or tutorials that could help me out?

What should the next step be for game programming in C++?
I'd suggest downloading a copy of the C++ version of Visual Studio Express (it's free) and start writing some windows applications. There are plenty of books on the topic, and a huge amount of free information and demos on the web. Start learning to draw primitive (lines, shapes, images) using GDI pens, brushes etc. Learn how to eliminate flicker by drawing things to a bitmap and then drawing that bitmap on the screen in one go (google "double buffering"). Next try simple animations i.e. moving the objects around on the screen. Finally learn how to read the mouse, keyboard and joystick.





It might sound like a lot to learn, but there's plenty of info on the net to help you, and once you how to do these things you'll be able to develop a huge range of 2D games.





Once you feel ready to take the plunge into 3D I'd suggest downloading the C# version of Visual Studio Express and a copy of XNA. C# is very similar to C++ but much, much easier and faster to develop for. XNA is Microsoft's game development library, it takes care of all the usual headaches of DirectX so that you can concentrate on the game itself. Plus it has plenty of support and examples to help get you started. It'll also allow you to write games for both PC and the XBox 360.
Reply:You might want to consider some university courses. To understand graphics, especially 3D graphics, you need to understand linear algebra and matrices.





When you have a good grasp of the underlying math, the purposes of the functions and data structures will be more clear.
