Thread: Re: [Dev-C++] (no subject) (Page 3)

Essentially what I want to know is how do I detect oveflow
errors?

So far catching a exception thrown is the only way I have
found. However I
am curious as to how portable such a mechanism is, i.e. are
exceptions
universally supported yet?

Thanks in Advance
David McKen

Hi,it's me again!
My problems with Dev-cpp have not finished. So I want to ask you if you
know a=20
web site where I can learn a bit more about input and output functions
(cin=20
and cout, for example) and classes. I have already read a book by
Helbert=20
Schildt, but I keep misunderstanding the point. I don't want to buy
another=20
book, as they cost too much, but I want a suggestion for a web site.
Thank you=20
very much

Have you tried searching on Google? http://www.google.com

if you're so particular, go to http://www.mindview.net
& get Bruce Eckel's 'Thinking in C++'. what you're
looking for should be in volume 2, but i think you
should go through volume 1 first to understand C++ syntax.

The thing that trips most people up when they install Dev-C++ is that 
they install it into a directory structure where the names contain 
spaces.  This is bad.  Another thing that trips people up is that 
they start compiling code in directories where the names have spaces. 
 This is also bad.

So... where did you install the program?  Can you include the compile 
log in your next message?  (NOTE:  this is not the error log that 
shows up under the Compile tab; this is the full compile log that 
shows up under the Compile Log tab.)

HTH.

thanx jesse for the explanation. the line makes complete sense now!!

Add a PAUSE prior to the end of main

actually, try:

system("PAUSE");

just above the "return 0" line at the end of your program.

When the program is done running, the window closes.

Insert something like a #include <cstdlib>, then at the end system("PAUSE"),
or a #include <iostream> and then at the end cin.peek(), then whack a few
character keys when you are done looking at the output.

Alternatively, run your stuff from Cygwin bash or cmd.exe windows.

Alright, I'll explain this for you really quick.

When you include in C++, you include by filename.

So, when the code says #include <iostream>, the <> means it's a system
header in a standard directory like /usr/include/c++ or /usr/include for C
headers on UNIX systems. On Windows the directories are a little "weird" but
Dev-C++ takes care of it for you. This is different from Java, where the
import keyword pulls stuff in by the name of the classes / packages you
want. Personally, I have many more problems with the Java approach than the
C++ approach, but that's just me. Your mileage may vary.

Now, to include code of your own, place it in the same directory as the main
file, and use "" instead of <>. For example, if you called the subten
function's file subten.c, you would need #include "subten.c". Also, the
compiler needs you to name files as .c or .cpp according to the kind of code
you put in them, or it might get confused and try to compile some C++ as C,
which will not usually work. If in doubt, call it a .cpp since C will
compile as C++ 98/100 times.

Hope this helps,
Matt

Verne is new at C++ too by his own admission; therefore I think he's
qualified to say this: he has just been reading books and teaching himself.
Verne's point is that reading a book really would help, so, from his point
of view, suggesting (however loudly) that Austin read a book is actually
giving help, not being unhelpful.

Sometimes the "tough love" approach to programming help is appropriate.
Apparently, Verne believes this is a case where "tough love" help is the
right kind.

As for whether it was needed, we are all adults here and I don't think it's
our responsibility to judge Verne. It's up to Verne to use his own best
judgment, and I don't think he would be the type of person who would use bad
judgment before he wrote something.

Correct me if I'm wrong on some of my points. I'm just trying to point out
what Verne might have been thinking when he dispensed the advice.

Don't help, if you don't want to help.

You'r eprobably one of those guys who got his feelings hurt when someone
told them to RTFM or STFW, aren't you? Honestly, I'd rather teach a man
to fish any day. He will learn more. There are thousands of tutorials on
C++ programming on the web and any new programmer would gain value from
them and the ability to find them. You didn't help out either, did you?
Don't throw rocks unless you want them thrown back.

Here is some sage advice from another list...

1. Try http://www.google.com  Searching for "C++ YOUR QUERY" may fetch
your relevant information within the first 10 results.

2. There is a searchable archive of the mailing list discussion online.
Many of the common topics are discussed
repeatedly, and you may get answer to your query from the earlier
discussions.=20

For example: One of the repeatedly discussed question in the list is
"Best C++ compiler". Everyone has his/her favourite editor. You can get
all the opinions by going through the list archives.=20

3. If you are stuck with code and do not understand what is wrong,
instead of posting the whole shebang, post the relevant portion of the
code

4. Provide a clear descriptive subject line. Avoid general subjects like
"Help!!", "A Question" etc. Especially avoid blank subjects.=20

5. When you want to start a new topic, open a new mail composer and
enter the mailing list address instead of replying to an existing thread
and replacing the subject and body with your message.

6. It's always a good idea to post back to the list once you've solved
your problem. People usually add [SOLVED] to the subject line of their
email when posting solutions. By posting your solution you're helping
the next person with the same question.=20

7. Ask smart questions http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

8. Do not send your email to the list with attachments. If you don't
have a place to upload your code, try the many pastebin websites (such
as www.pastebin.com).=20

9. "Because it is hard to read."
   "Why?"
   "Top-postng is bad."

Jay,

wrong!  I do my own research, read my books and do my homework.=20
Though, I am been known to ask a question here and there.=20
Nonetheless, there is a difference between saying,

"The good way to start programming is by doing research on the
internet, books, newsgroup, etc.  What you are trying to do, many
other folks have already done.  So, i would suggest for you, "such and
such" book, by "such and such" author.  I also suggest www.cpp.org and
www.someothercpp.org and www.anotherwebsite.com has been extremely
helpful to me.  You may want to give those a try and when you get
stuck, come back and ask us.  We'll be here waiting.  By the way,
happy programming!"

and let the guy go with a bunch of knowledge and thinking that we are
nice people.  But putting the guy down like that it makes no sense.=20
You know, many people hate us c/c++ programmers because we are nasty.=20
Not because we are smart, which we are, but because we are nasty to
people and other programmers.  We love to show our wisdom and how
smart we are and how great and short our code is and how...  I guess
that comes with the geeky side of us, but friends, it's a bad
reputation we geeky people have, which we should change: we are
socially challenged.

Just a thought...

Back to programming...
