IEEE 1394 is better known as Apple's "[I]firewire[/I]" - I have no idea why Windows would think its connected to something. IMHO, the best thing you can do with that adapter is leave it disabled in Device manager, unless you happen to own a device which needs it... Better still, …

What's the configuration of the machine you are trying to ping from?

Both network connections work completely independently of each another (meaning that any settings you have for one connection won't apply for the other, and neither connection can "see" the other - however, since they are different networks, they must be given different IP address ranges) - so I suspect you …

Reading from a file works the same way as reading from any other istream, such as cin: [CODE]//read up to newline std::string str; std::getline(cin, str);[/CODE] [CODE]//read up to whitespace (after a word or character) std::string str; cin >> str;[/CODE]With files, replace [I]cin[/I] with the name of your ifstream

The binary-to-decimal link which Dave has given you is the 'C' way of doing things, which is fine, and you should learn to do it that way, although, C++ gives you a really nice easy way to do this - Using the <bitset> library. (a bitset is a container which …

Your professor sounds like he's leading you up the garden path - the system() function takes one argument (a [COLOR="Blue"]const char*[/COLOR]) and returns an [COLOR="Blue"]int[/COLOR], which, in all cases i'm aware of, is purely an indicator for whether or not the call was successful (0 for success, and non-zero for …

Since you're using C++, have you done any research into STL and the standard library algorithms? these sorts of tasks are exactly the kind of thing which the STL excels at doing - eg, [CODE][COLOR="Black"][COLOR="Blue"]#include [/COLOR]<iostream> [COLOR="Blue"]#include[/COLOR] <vector> [COLOR="Blue"]#include[/COLOR] <algorithm> [COLOR="Blue"]template[/COLOR]<[COLOR="Blue"]const int[/COLOR] N> [COLOR="Blue"]int[/COLOR] array_size([COLOR="Blue"]const int[/COLOR] (&arr)[N] ) { [COLOR="Blue"]return[/COLOR] …

Although you can change the Display modes at the top of the page, the default is Linear mode, but you can change to Threaded or Hybrid mode where the posts will appear in a different order.

That depends exactly what part you don't understand. Essentially, your problem seems to be about looping through arrays, and performing some operation on each element. If you're not comfortable with arrays, then do a google search for array tutorials, or check: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/tutorials/tutorial1732.html[/url] [url]http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/lesson8.html[/url] Here's one for 'C' Style strings, which …

You can't return multiple values from a function, you probably want to pass your variables by reference instead. ie [CODE][COLOR="Blue"]void[/COLOR] ReadInput (int[COLOR="Red"]&[/COLOR] a,int[COLOR="Red"]&[/COLOR] b) { cout<<"Please enter flavour(1=choco,2=caramel,3=mint) : "; cin>>a; cout<<"Please enter number of cartoons(1-20) : "; cin>>b; }[/CODE] Notice the ampersands (highlighted in [COLOR="Red"]red[/COLOR]), to denote 'pass by …

I think what you may be looking for is more general computer science theory than anything specific to C++ (especially if you have no interest in learning the language at this time). You should google around for OO design theory, since it applies to many other languages, not just C++ …

[De-cloak] :eek: Assuming that your array of random numbers is constant, then your 4 elements are always indexed by the numbers 0,1,2,3 .... that should make life pretty simple :) Start it out as a simple random-number picker for the numbers 0-3 and carry on from there. [/De-cloak]

You're trying to create objects of type Button, but don't have the constructors to match. Remember that if you provide your own constructor within a class, then you do not get a default constructor. You also seem to have other problems - you can't assign an int to an object …

You have included the C++ string library in your code, so why don't you actually use it?

This looks just like the last question you asked. what don't you understand about it?

Your problem is that you don't have a constructor for the Selectionsort class which accepts the values you're trying to initialise it with. You should try a constructor which accepts a range of values - eg, [INLINECODE]Selectionsort::Selectionsort(int* begin, int* end) [/INLINECODE] or one which accepts an array, eg, [INLINECODE] Selectionsort::Selectionsort(int …

You've only just started C++ and you're trying to implement a doubly linked list? You might want to start out with a singly linked list first...

This seems to me an excersize similar to serialisation. A real linked list would use pointers to connect the "nodes" - if you're using an array to simulate addressable memory, then use an int to contain the array indexes, simulating the pointers. The rest of the program should be fairly …

[CODE]ch2=pow(2,index + 1);[/CODE]Why did you add 1 to the index? - 32 (2^5) in binary is [INLINECODE]00100000[/INLINECODE] - The code would give your expected result without that.

I think my main concern would be the ugly mess that you'd get as a result of mixing the two :)

What exactly are you going to do with your deck of cards? I presume you'll have some common routines such as "shuffle", "cut deck", etc. but different card games use different rules. A totally generic deck might not be possible, or even desirable. I suggest you decide first which games …

by "Print function" I guess you mean the method to output to the screen or console window? the typical way to output the contents of a 2D array involve a nested loop, eg, [CODE]for(int x(0); x!=total_rows; ++x) { for(int y(0); x!=total_columns; ++y) std::cout << arrays[x][y]; std::cout << endl; } [/CODE]

C++ has features way beyond most other languages (eg multiple paradigm support in OOP and Parameterised programming), a huge community and wealth of high quality books available, and C++ really has no arbitary limitations in terms of what you can do with it.
