Don't you think it would be a good idea to test for this condition and
take appropriate action if it is encountered?
printf("Insert characters from which to make passwords "
"(at most %d characters):\n" , MAX_CHARSET - 1);
fgets(charset, MAX_CHARSET, stdin);
You need to check whether fgets succeeded, and take appropriate action
if it did not.

Define strangely. How do you give stdin EOF? If you give stdin EOF,
will there ever be a '\n'?
snip
fgets(charset, MAX_CHARSET, stdin);
charset_end = strchr(charset, '\n');

Yeah... It turns out that the way I used to end stdin <ot>(pressing ctrl-D,
in Linux)</otworks only if it is the first thing input on a line... This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

I'm trying to test a web application using a tool written in python. I
would like to be able to generate random values to put in fields. I would
like to be able to generate random dates (in a specified range), random
strings (specifying allowed characters and a distribution of lengths), or
choose randomly between several generators (for better control of the
distribution of values).
Is there any library for this sort of thing in Python?...

I know how to use rand() to generate random POSITIVE-INTEGER numbers.
But, I'd like to generate a random DOUBLE number in the range of 0.0 to 1.0
with resolution of a double (i.e., every possible double value in the range
could come up with equal probability). I'd also like to be able to seed this
generator (e.g., via the clock) so that the same sequence of random values
don't come up every time.
Anybody have an easy and fast...

G'Day all,
I cant work out how to create a random password generator.
In specific the password (or well the output as a string) needs to be
in the following format:
abc123
So no capitals or other characters, Just the first three being letters
and the last three being numbers in random. Basically im creating a
list if these to write to a text file (I can do that part :-) )

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.
