Given something like
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(void)
{
char name[] = "chad";
int number = 2;
int val;
size_t len = strlen(name);
val = len/number ;
return 0;
}
[cdalten@localho st ~]$ gcc -g -Wall -ansi -pedantic div.c -o div
What if name[] is something really really long. Long enough to fill up
size_t in len. Wouldn't this value get truncated since val is int? And
if it does possibly get truncated, how come my compiler doesn't say
anyting?

Possibly, depending on the sizes of size_t and int. If size_t is at
least as large as int, the division is done unsigned. If it's exactly as
large as int, the result of dividing (what is in effect) any unsigned
int value by two is guaranteed to fit in a signed int.
And if it does possibly get truncated, how come my compiler doesn't say
anyting?
Who knows the motivations of the Ganuck implementors? Perhaps they do
static analysis on your code, and decide that in this case, strlen(name)
is always 4. Perhaps you need to crank up the optimisation level;
perhaps down.

Hi,
I'm interested in having more people in our lab using numarray/NumPy
instead of MatLab. For that I have put together a couple useful
modules and written many myself. But then I got reminded of a new /
upcoming feature of Python:
"2/3 == 1.5" AKA PEP 238.
I'm very interested in putting lots of
"from __future__ import division"
lines...

i'm new to MS Visual Studio and C++ but not to C programming in general. i'm
trying to divide two integers and get their actual quotient (eg 5/3 =

because it appears to be rounding off. my code follows. Thanks!

How I can make division of two numbers placed in arrays, example:
short int a = {2,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2};
short int b = {1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2};
short int result = a / b; 'division
without additional lib's and header files, only in standart C.

Hi,
Is it true that that "Python 3000" is dead ?
Honestly I think that e.g. changing 5/2 to be 2.5 (instead of 2) would
just break to much code :-(
On the otherhand I'm using Python as "Matlab replacement" and would
generally like 5/2 ==2.5
So, I was contemplating to default all my modules/scripts to start with
"from __future__ import...

Hello!!
Below I have some methods that first setup a select string then read the

I have used the Data Adaper ConfigurationWizard for these adapter that I use

I just wonder if it's possible to use inheritance and polymorfism or some
other construction here to minimize that code.

Now, i have a big integer ( less than 64 bit, but great than 32 bit) .
i represent it by this way:

divident store low 32 bits of big integer, dividend store high 32
