If you include <cmath> sqrt function lives in std namespace. So declare [icode]using namespace std;[/icode] or (better) use std::sqrt(...) or declare [icode]using std::sqrt;[/icode]. Probably, that's all your troubles now...

The VC++ now defines CLOCKS_PER_SEC (old CLK_TCK) macros as 1000, so there are no bad scaling in that case. However a real measured interval (i.e. VC++ RTL clock() precision) is about 15 milliseconds, so it's impossible to measure short intervals (iterative variant with clock() ticks <2 MICROseconds!). For example, look …

Generally speaking, it's an absolutely senseless operation to compile header file with a single class definition. No correspondend code (object module) generated. May be the compiler go off its head while performing such an action ;),,,

Probably, all beginners write verbose and heavy-to-read codes. Don't complicate your as it is not so easy life with monstrous switches. Use this common approach: [code=cplusplus] const char* numeral[] = { "", "one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine", "ten", "eleven", "twelve" }; ... cout << numeral[num] << …

A user-defined main() is not the first (and the only) function in the executable module. Have you ever heard about sturtup code? A console mode program has opened i/o streams - it's a job for startup code. It has a properly initialized memory heap - it's a job for startup …

Sorry, but it's impossible to read your snippet. Please, use code tag properly: [noparse][code=c++] sources (with line breaks) [/code][/noparse]

Of course, you can do that. It's called recursion. The only problem is to break recursive call chain in the proper moment. In other words you must prevent f() call which calling f() which calling f() again and so on...

Use double (not float) type for math calculations! [code=c] double x, y, z, sum, pi; ... sum = 1.0; for (i = 0, y = 3.0; i < n; ++i, y += 2.0) { z = 1.0 / y; if ((i & 1) == 0) sum -= z; else sum …

Apropos, I far as I know, [icode]rand() % N[/icode] (where rand() is a pseudo-random numbers generator) is NOT uniformely distributed in 0..N-1 range... Right (but cumbersom) construct is (alas): [code=cpp] (int)(N*(rand()/(double)MAX_RAND)) [/code]

1. If you are using stdafx.h (in MS VC++), place all system includes in stdafx.h, not in your source modules. 2. Why [icode]#include "stdio.h"[/icode]? Must be [icode]#include <stdio.h>[/icode] directive in stdafx.h.

You have a class Tools with these (and others) member functions. Remember a syntax of member function call: [code=cplusplus] object.member_function_name(parameters) // or pointer_to_object -> member_function_name(parameters) [/code] So, for your test (member!) function call you must write, for example: [code=cplusplus] #include "Tools.h" ... int main() { Tools tools; ... tools.test(); ... …

Never use old Borland C++ compilers (except for dog fights with deviations of C++ standard). The [b]best[/b] free C++ compiler + IDE now is VC++ 2008 Express edition, of course. Regrettably, its distribution size is ~200 Mb + ~200 Mb for MSDN Expess (if you want more than rudimentary help) …

I think, it's an absolutely aimless article (and discussion too), because of VTBL is not a part of C++ language. If you want to know how virtual functions calls were implemented in the specific C++ implementation. search Google (or what else;)), for example: [url]http://forums.msdn.microsoft.com/ru-RU/vclanguage/thread/0e2d1b36-1805-46de-afe8-ce7b6348fe28[/url] [url]http://bytes.com/forum/thread535605.html[/url] I have no time to …

Also pay attention: getchar(), getc(), fgetc() functions return int (not char) values. In essence, char type in C (but not in C++) is a very short int, that's all.

Some remarks. Regrettably, niek_e's solution is a solution of another problem. It can replace one word only, not an arbitrary substring. Ancient Dragon's solution uses RTL library (not in spirit of original post, see length() function instead of strlen). [code=c] /// For this example only: inline int length(const char* s) …

I think we have an impressive example of a false problem. If you want to clear console window in portable manner, use portable direct console i/o library (pdcurses, for example, or others). That's the only right answer. May be a suitable ersatz of such libraries is <conio.h> stuff implemented with …

I think it's an example of incorrect help request. I'm sure that you can't implement ZigBee protocol stack in C from the scratch.

So it's not a problem - it's impossible for lonely heroes …

I don't understand why this ancient thread is vivified. It's impossible to get an array size by array parameter only. For slow-witted reanimators: it's impossible in C and C++ to get a size of array argument by this array parameter only. You all reanimators forget that: 1. An array parameter …

You can use it in the displayjulianDates function …

Yet another common and portable approach: use ordinar structures to create BMP info then pack them into the final char buffer (use memcpy(buffer+offset,&member,sizeof member), move offset forward and so on). Of course, it's possible to write data to a file stream directly (no need in current write pos forwarding). Add …

If other "modules" (mean and median) look like this function mode I can't imagine how you "have everything working but the mode". 1. It seems you must "find the mean, median and mode of an array of numbers". If so, why you get array values in the function mode body? …

Regrettably, it's impossible to get time interval with microseconds precision from standard C and C++ run-time library calls.
