    I don't know what relevance it has to C/C++ but the =F1 (pronounced =
en yay), is a letter in the Spanish alphabet, so my guess would be that =
the code was written by someone from Spain, Mexico, Portugal, or another =
Spanish speaking country.

  I came across a piece of code that looks funny, it has a n with ~ =
above it. Ex. c =3D (anc) with ~ above the n. What does it mean, and how =
do you put the ~ above the n.=20

	Minor correction, Portugal and Brazil speak Portugese, not 
Spanish. I studied Spanish way back in high school, but have not 
idea if Portugese uses =F1.

[Dev-C++] Re C++

[<Kei...@ao...>]

I am trying to write a program for  vehicle registration ( a project for my 
course in C programming) which takes a string of 1letter,3 digits, 3 letters( 
UK number plate) using the 1st letter  - 'A'  * 1000 and the 3 digits to 
produce a record number to locate the  vehicle registration record. The  file 
is binary.
How can I take the registration number and convert it to the record number.


Thanks

This is the way I done it for my computeach course:

after getting the string I passed it to this function

unsigned calc_hash(char *reg)
{
  char first_val, second_val[4];
  int count;
  unsigned value;

  first_val =3D *reg;    /* Store first character of regestration */
  reg++;

  /* Get the next three characters */
  for(count =3D 0; count <=3D 2; count++, reg++)
    second_val[count] =3D *reg;

  second_val[3] =3D '\0';     /* Add null character */

  value =3D first_val - 'A';    /* Subtract 'A' from the first character =
*/
  value *=3D 1000;             /* Multiply by number of records for each =
alpha character */
  value +=3D atoi(second_val);    /* Convert second_val to integer and =
add to value */

  return value;                /* return the hash */
}

hope this helps

Vas.
