Hi, I have always been taught to use an inialization list for initialising data members of a class. I realize that initialsizing primitives and pointers use an inialization list is exactly the same as an assignment, but for class types it has a different effect - it calls the copy constructor. My question is when to not use an...

I first started with the C language using TurboC moving up to the full C++ with both borland/ms extensions. For the last couple of (dry) years, I have not needed to do full bore projects. As a result I switched to VB to make those quick util progs. Now that I am back into full(+1/2)-time coding, and using .NET now, I was wondering which direction...

Hi Folk I have about 1000 procedures in my project. Many, many of them are along the lines of function myfuntion () as boolean on error goto er '- Dim Dbs as dao.database Dim Rst as dao.recordset

Hi, I know that I'm an extreme newb by asking this overly beaten question, but I am leaning toward C#, becuase the perception is that it is better to learn than VB.Net. I guess it makes you cooler.:-) Anyhow, I am a novice programmer, and I will remain one as well...I have no plans to make programming my life ambition, but I think that it...

But if this is in the wrong section let me know an all gladly delete my question an put it in the correct section. Well what i am trying to do is pretty simple.

Well after all this discussion it would appear that a 'Python like' language has appeared => Prothon. http://www.prothon.org/index.html Very alpha, sort of like Python (if you consider the indenting is what makes Python unique) and sort of Ruby in its use of prefixes to define scoping etc (although there is no reference to this trait being...

Sometimes I find myself stumbling over Python issues which have to do with what I perceive as a lack of orthogonality. For instance, I just wanted to use the index() method on a tuple which does not work. It only works on lists and strings, for no obvious reason. Why not on all sequence types? Or, another example, the index() method has...

Looking at the Community Experts box I notice that NeoPa is approaching fast in the outside lane. Assuming that it is still there at that time I predict he will overtake me at 6pm on Saturday. What's your guess?

pereges <Broli00@gmail.comwrites: These types already have perfectly good names already. Why give them new ones? If you must rename them for some reason, use typedefs, not macros. --

I heard people saying prefix increment is faster than postfix incerement, but I don't know what's the difference. They both are i = i+1. i++ ++i Please advise. thanks!!

What about an enhancement of foreach loops which allows a syntax like that: foeach(int i in 1..10) { } // forward foeach(int i in 99..2) { } // backwards foeach(char c in 'a'..'z') { } // chars foeach(Color c in Red..Blue) { } // using enums It should work with all integral datatypes. Maybe we can step a bit further: foeach(int i in...

Hi, is there a way to show a form without a titlebar (and therefore no control box/minimize box/title etc) but still have it appear looking like 3D? The property FormBorderStyle to None - this gives no titlebar etc but the form borders don't look 3D. In case I haven't explained what I want well, I want a form that looks like a button...

I have the view below and if I use vwRouteReference as the rowsource for a combo box in an MS Access form or run "SELECT * FROM vwRouteReference" in SQL Query Analyzer, the rows don't come through sorted by Numb. Everything I've read on the web suggests that including the TOP directive should enable ORDERY BY in views. Does someone have an...

Hi. Is it possible in javascript to operate on an array without knowing how mamy elements it has? What i want to do is sending an array to a script, and this script should add all values from that array Could you show me a little example how to do this? Thanks.

Hello all, Is there a function in the standard C library which returns a prime number which is also pseudo-random? Assuming there isn't, as it appears from the docs that I have, is there a better way than to fill an array of range 0... RAND_MAX with pre-computed primes and using the output of rand() to index into it to extract a random...

Well apparently not since one can step thru template code with a debugger. But if I was willing to make the concession on debugging, templates would be strictly a precompiler thing? I have a feeling the answer I'm going to get back will be "no, because templates have taken on a life of their own since their original conception and now also...

Hi all, Whenever I use the gets() function, the gnu c compiler gives a warning that it is dangerous to use gets(). why...? regards, jayapal.

§27.4.2.1.4 Type ios_base::openmode Says this about the std::ios::binary openmode flag: *binary*: perform input and output in binary mode (as opposed to text mode) And that is basically _all_ it says about it. What the heck does the binary flag mean? -- If our hypothesis is about anything and not about some one or more particular things,...

I'm trying to built and array of circular link list but when I read the input file Ijust get a long link list instead of different list and after trying to use Linked_list_Stack *obj; I'm getting this errors newcir.cpp:107: request for member `push' in `obj', which is of non-aggregate type `Linked_list_Stack*' newcir.cpp:110: request for...

hey! I have a program that takes two input files(one in the matrix form) and one in the sequence form.Now my problem is that i have to give the matrix file(containing many matrices) and sequence file containing many sequences and calculate the same log score as I did for one matrix file and one sequence file. how it should exactly work is...

Hi, I have a PHP script that does some processing, and stores an error message as a variable. The script then redirects to another script with the error string in the URL, with the second script displaying the message and continues with the rest of the logic. Now I want to hide the error message from the URL, but the second script needs...
