If we try to divide 7/2 we will get 3.5
symetrical
asteriks
asterikses
sterp
beetwen "standard" triangle
Basicly
allways
Secound differance
There are lots of typos and misspellings that I assume will get cleaned up.
My main comment is 7/2. The result of 7/2 is 3 and not 3.5. That is, there are three 2's in 7. You can't have half a 2 since integers have no decimal places. If you really want 3.5 you have to start out with 7.0/2.0.
So, integer arithmetic always produces integer results.
There is also the significant figures issue. 3 represents any value between 3 and less than 4. The value 3.5 represents and value betweem 3.5 and less than 3.6. That is, a result is accurate only to the degree of its coarsest component. That is, you cannot make things more accurate by adding decimal places.
The typos (not all of them):
symetrical --> symmetrical
asteriks --> asterisks
asterikses -->asterisks
sterp --> step
beetwen "standard" triangle --> between
Basicly --> Basically
allways --> always
Secound differance -->Second difference
Lastly, what is a standard triangle?? Right, equilateral, isosceles, asymmetrical??

I know,I have noticed those few minutes after I finished posting post #2,but to late to change them.About this issue: 7/2=3.5,I wasn't trying to say what is resulting integer when compiled using integer arithmetic,I was saying what is true result when u divide those in real life ,what u will get when u divide 7 with 2?About ur last question I meant one isosceles triangle.
Thank u so much for this comment,I really appreciate it.
:D
PS:It's my first article.

Say I wanted to put a couple lines of asterisks between paragraphs, and have
it stretch the spaces so that it spanned 100% of the text-width, like this:
* * * * * * * *
Is there a way to do this in CSS? I don't want it to line break, just collapse
the spacing between the stars if the window gets narrower.

Please excuse the cross-post - I'm pretty sure I've had interest in the
article on all the groups this is posted to.
I've finally managed to finish my article on multi-threading - at least
for the moment. I'd be *very* grateful if people with any interest in
multi-threading would read it (even just bits of it - it's somewhat
long to go through the whole thing!) to check for accuracy,
effectiveness of examples, etc.
Feel free to mail...

I'm trying to write a program in C that gets a shape outlined with asterisks from the user, and returns that shape filled with asterisks. It will also get the coordinates of a point inside the shape from which to start filling. I need to use recursion here. for example, to be clear:
input: (ignore the line, think of that as blank space)
*****
*___*
*****
coordinates are (2,1) /*its an array so numbering will start from 0*/

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:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...

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,...
