Re: [Dev-C++] A question of professionalism

[jansb000 <jan...@wx...>]

My advise is: use the compiler that your professor wants you to use. As =
a future IT expert you are now in a position to learn an important =
lesson: "The customer is always right". Too many IT professionals think =
that they must argue about everything because they know that they are =
right. Ok, you may be right, but investing time in discussions like this =
are counter productive.

Why? Because your project has probably nothing to do with which compiler =
is ANSI C and to what extend. The professor is in a situation where =
he/she has roots in the "old economy" (maybe even from the mainframe =
generation). These people tend to hold on to what they know. I can give =
you some examples of this if you want. Now you may think that the =
professor has a problem? Not so... You should realise that a large part =
of your future customers / bosses / colleagues will suffer from the =
same. And ... you need them more then they need you.

To show that you are a real professional, you should take a step back, =
maybe exchange some arguments, but never overwhelm the professor (client =
/ colleague) with proof of his/her incompetence. They will never accept =
this as a fact (who would?).

My advise in a nutshell: Focus on getting your grade via the easiest way =
possible.

By the way; Some (although dated) research has shown that the =
programming language has only a minimal effect (5%) on the timing of a =
project. Choosing between C-dialects will have even a smaller impact. Is =
it worth the time (and risk) that you are investing in it? You can still =
develop in DevC++ and at the end port your project to the other =
programming language?

  the gcc compiler (the compiler used by Dev C++) is following the ANSI =

    Hello All,

    I have been using Bloodshed's Dev C++ 4.0 for two semesters at my =
school, and=20
    currently  I am having some difficulty with a professor.  The =

    compiler and therefore refuses to accept my projects.  I wish to =

[Paul P. <pau...@sy...>]

I ran into the same situation and got around it by exactly the way just expressed.
I compiled the programs at college using the standard MS compiler, which was
entirely satisfactory to my instructor. The only problem I had was in the Lab test
where the configuration was so different from Dev C++. My 2 cents, for what it's
worth. :-)

Re: [Dev-C++] A question of professionalism

[Jared E. <ja...@vo...>]

Before you go on a crusade, you should realize that you can choose your 
battles. Is this a battle really worth getting into. I had this problem, 
and have found that it was much easier to develop at home using what ever I 
had access to, then make sure the program compiled on a standard compiler, 
Professor lingo for MS VC++. In my experience, you should not buck heads 
with people who directly control your future. Learn to work around them. 
Develop your projects with whatever tools you have, but make sure they 
compile on the compiler your professor is advocating. That's my $.02.

That depends on what you need to sort, isn't it?

What you need is the pseudocode or someone to write the program for
you?

[Dev-C++] FW: [re-evaluate grade]

[Mitchell, T. (HNA) <Tam...@hj...>]

Here is something that should raise a lot of eye brows. Please anyone =

the
tool.

He tends to think your compiler is sub-standard.

As I previously stated.  This program also resides on the schools =

which is of standards for Point Park College.

How is it possible that at the end of the semester you can decide what =
is
standard and what is not?

At the beginning of the semester when we told you we were using DEV C++ =
from
Bloodshed for our program and you should have been very specific and
instructed us NOT to use this compiler.  Not wait until after 10 =
smaller
programs using this same tool compiled then decide after grades were =
turned
in what compiler we could or could not use.

I am filing a formal complaint for a grade appeal and I WILL NOT FORGET =
TO
MENTION THAT AT NO POINT DID YOU SAY WE WERE NOT ALLOWED TO USE ANY =
OTHER
COMPILER UNTIL MAY 19, 2001.

I guess Point Park College's compiler is not professional standard =
either
since this is the compiler that is provided to all students?

I have investigated the Bloodshed compiler and have found it
not to be a professional (standards based)compiler.
Therefore it is not acceptable.

I will recompile all students address book programs using both
Borland and Microsoft.  If an execute file is produced I will
evaluate it and evaluate if a grade change is called for. =20
Otherwise for the address book programs,
no compile, no function and no credit.

This evaluation process should take me about two weeks.

Re: [Dev-C++] A question of professionalism

[<csc...@gm...>]

Dev-C++ uses the GCC compiler internally. While the Dev-C++ program itself
may be not-professional, the GCC compiler is a heavy open-source standard
used on many platforms and operating systems. Actually GCC complies more to
the draft C++ standard than Microsoft VC++ 6 does. However this may not help
if your professor is biased against open-source and GCC :-)

am trying to calculate num but i can only calculate the last num entered by=20
the user i want to calculate all num (numbers) that the user types in ie i=20
want num to be stored each time a different value for num is entered so that=
=20
i can calculate different quantities of items=20

eg, 10(num) * =A33.50=20
      2(num) *61p=20
     15(num) 89p=20
each time num is entered i only receive calculations for the last num entere=
d=20
15 in this example, but i need all nums to be calculated. The user can only=20
type in a code for an item eg a=3Dfresh brown bread followed by a quantity=20
(represented by num) this process is repeated until the user is happy with=20
there selection from the menu. I need to print out a menu indicating item ,=20
quantity , then cost which is item * quantity but i seem to only be able to=20
calculate the last num the user enters.=20

hello programmers i was wondering if anyone could help me with a problem , i=
=20
am trying to calculate num but i can only calculate the last num entered by=20
the user i want to calculate all num (numbers) that the user types in ie i=20
want num to be stored each time a different value for num is entered so that=
=20
i can calculate different quantities of items

eg, 10(num) * =A33.50
       2(num) *61p
      15(num) 89p
each time num is entered i only receive calculations for the last num entere=
d=20
15 in this example, but i need all nums to be calculated. The user can only=20
type in a code for an item eg a=3Dfresh brown bread followed by a quantity=20
(represented by num) this process is repeated until the user is happy with=20
there selection from the menu. I need to print out a menu indicating item ,=20
quantity , then cost which is item * quantity but i seem to only be able to=20
calculate the last num the user enters.




thanx for your  precious time and patience in advance=20

Re: [Dev-C++] Problem linking winsock library

[<Dou...@ao...>]

You need to add the wsock32.lib to your project.  A way to do this is select 
'Project' from the menu bar, then Add to project.  Browse Lib for wsock32.lib 
then select it.

Hello,

Thank you very much for your hint!
In my case this gives the following listing:
----------------------------------------------------------
          #include <windows.h>
          #include <c:\dev-c++\include\g++\iostream.h>
          #include <c:\dev-c++\include\stdio.h>
          #include <c:\dev-c++\include\stdlib.h>

          int main()
          {
               cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
               system("PAUSE");
               return 0;
          }
----------------------------------------------------------

Where can I get a list of the system calls (for exemple 
system("PAUSE");)?

Is there a way to do the same thing within the Windows-
System? Where can I obtain a list of the Windows-
specific calls?

Is there an automatic system to install a program so, that 
it creates an icon on the screen?

Is there a good Tutor on the net?

Thak you very much for your indications!

Re: [Dev-C++] Problem of a Beginner

[DeAd P. <dea...@ho...>]

The best way to start off (took me awhile to figure this out) and actually 
run a program - use the hello world template when you start a new project.. 
then delete:
>   cout << "Press ENTER to continue..." << endl;
>   getchar ();

and stick in:
system("PAUSE");

then you can do whatever you want with C++ (text stuff) and it will be in 
the dos window.

[Dev-C++] Problem of a Beginner

[Martin R. <ri...@po...>]

Hello,

Today I installed the Dev-C++ program from Bloodshed in 
its version 4. I am using Windows 98. Years ago I made 
some programs in Turbo Pascal from Borland and now I 
want to learn some C++. The first program I attempted 
today compiled without errors, but when I execute it, 
nothing happens. I proceeded in the following manner:

I created a new project, clicking over the Windows 
Application (marked as a C++-Project). Compiling this 
stuff I just obtained a Window.

Then I combined this dummy program with the 'Hello 
World' and obtained the listing that you will find at the 
end of this mail. I could compile and link it, but running it, 
it does not write nothing to the screen and does not wait 
until a introduce a letter from the keyboard.

Another question: I have a 10 years old book from Tom 
Swan (Learning C++). Is it still useful?

Kind regards
Martin Riat (Spain)

[Dev-C++] How do I "reopen" cin?

[Luigi S. <gi...@li...>]

Hi !

Can anybody help me solve this silly problem with C++?

Suppose that I should write a program, named "copy_file", which supports 
the following syntax:

    command                        what it does
-------------               -----------------------
   copy_file                   copy cin on cout
   copy_file input             copy the file named "input" on cout

It would be nice to have the work done by these two steps:
    - if you find a file name on the command line then attach cin to the file
    - copy cin on cout

How do I "reopen" cin? (or, to make it clearer: is there a C++ equivalent 
of the C function freopen?)

Any solution will be appreciated.

Try time(0) instead of clock().. it's what works for me.
