Hey all, I have an app, that could take two numbers of any type of
numerical type int, long, double, float, uint, ulong, etc. I want to
check that the numbers are part of a range that I consider "valid".
For my circumstances, I don't consider float.PositiveI nfinity valid,
nor do I consider the two numbers valid if the second number is smaller
than the first. In other words, I want to check that the range is
valid.
I notice that while float and double have PositiveInfinit y int does
not. Does int have no comparable concept? They obviously have
MaxValue and MinValue, but I'm looking for a concept similar to
positive or negative infinity.
In summary, I just want to make my valid range check code as robust and
thorough as possible.
Thanks,
Novice

MinValue and MaxValue are as close as you can get for Int (or any
non-floating point type). These types simply have no concept of infinity -
all possible bit patterns of their representations correspond to valid
integers within their domain.

I posted this question on the Crystal Reports Support site and I am still
waiting for an answer.
Using Crystal Reports 9.0 Developer Full edition:
My Crystal report .RPT file has a Picture box which is an OLE Object located
in the Page Header section of my .RPT file.
This is the call which works perfectly in VB6 to format the crystal reports

Hi!
Is the expression "a >= b" equivalent to "a - b >= 0" in C/C++?
Is this equivalence an IEEE/ANSI rule? Or is this machine/compiler
dependent?
Any references are welcome!
Thanks in advance, Humberto.

I think you would agree with me that a C compiler that directly
produces Java Byte Code to be run on any JVM is something that is
missing to software programmers so far. With such a tool one could
stay with C and still be able to produce Java byte code for
platform independent apps. Also, old programs (with some tweaking)
could be re-compiled and ported to the JVM.
We have been developing such a tool over the last 2 years and currently...

For some reason when I direct my users to a word document via
Response.ContentType = "application/word" the spell check is turned off.
Does anyone know which smart tag needs to be mofied to have it on by default.
It appears as though it might be <w:SpellingState>Clean</w:SpellingState>.
However, I haven't found any web sites that discusses what alternative values
of this tag might will accept. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just recently realized that the comparison operator "is" actually
works for comparing numeric values. Now, I know that its intended use
is for testing object identity, but I have used it for a few other
things, such as type checking, and I was just wondering whether or not
it is considered bad practice in the Python Community to use it for
numerics as well.
Example:
a = range(5)

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
