Time/distance converter help (ptII)

Further to my recent post in this newsgroup i've got to admit i'm
struggling. I've no experience with javascript or it's workings. What i'd
like is a simple converter to allow a user to input the distance travelled
in miles and the time in hours and minutes, the result being an average
speed. What i'd appreciate is for someone to write the script for me and
post here if possible. I am willing to learn but don't know where to start
and i've found no tutorial that will help me!

Thanks...Andre

That would prevent 0 signs in fraction, enforcing makeToFixed(0)
transformed to makeToFixed(2)
Unless it's a contextually useful default, one should prevent 0/false
ambiguousity by something like toFixed((typeof precision == 'number')?
precision:2)
Good point.

return substring(0, T=(length-N)) + '.' + substring(T)

FYI, that's not what its author currently uses and recommends.

I have successfully created a zip code radius search, but the performance is unacceptable. I have two tables. The first is 52K zip codes w/lat and long. The second is 3K national business addresses. Using the zip code 10010, it takes almost 60 seconds to return 122 businesses within a 25 mile radius. This slowdown is almost entirely due to the query radius distance formula.

Hi All, In an application I write, I need to have some mapping service, where I can select two locations, which shall calculate the distance and mainly the time(could be approximate) to travel from one place to another. Is there any ASP scripts or DLLs(APIs) provided or sold by any third party mapping service? Have anyone come across such requirments? Your experience and suggestions will help me much.

24.1.1.3 says about InputIterators: Algorithms on input iterators should never attempt to pass through the same iterator twice. They should be single pass algorithms. In 24.3.4.4 summarizes the effects of std::distance as: Effects: Returns the number of increments or decrements needed to get from first to last. The wording of the latter seems somewhat ambiguous. Does it mean that it actually performs the necessary increments or...

As an intellectual exercise, I've implemented an STL-esque List<and List<>::Iterator. Now, I would like a signed distance between two iterators which corresponds to their relative position in the list. For instance, if I did something like distance(list.end(), list.begin()), I would get -list.size(). The STL's iterator distance function amounts to something like this: distance_type distance(Iterator first, Iterator last) {...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
