Maybe because our books are too stupid to know what operating system
and compiler you're using.

Stupid books! :-)

Seriously...you (Mitch) need to ask this in a newsgroup devoted to the
operating system and/or compiler that you're using. Bitmaps are not part of
standard C++ (which is what is discussed here), but are instead
implementations by third parties or by compiler vendors for specific
platforms (operating systems), such as Visual C++ under the Windows
operating system.

Displaying graphics of any kind is going to be extremely
dependent on what platform you are using, and would be extremely
off-topic here. Post this question to a newsgroup related to the
platform you are writing on.

A portable interface such as that provided by SDL can help make
this easy; SDL also includes facilities for loading and
displaying BMP graphics; SDLimage also supports JPG and others.

However, you should know that it is unlikely that you can simply
mix in some calls to your existing code, if you are currently
using standard streams (such as cout) to handle your
input/output: these streams are unlikely to result in things
being displayed in the same place as the graphics: you'll need to
use an entirely different mechanism, possibly drawing the text
directly to the graphics display.

newb: comapring two strings

Hi, Is there a clever way to see if two strings of the same length vary by only one character, and what the character is in both strings. E.g. str1=yaqtil str2=yaqtel they differ at str1 and the difference is ('i','e') But if there was str1=yiqtol and str2=yaqtel, I am not interested.

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,...
