Hello again,
Thanks for that link Salem, I read it thoroughly but, while it did help me a bit, a lot of it was over my head.
I spent a few hours going through any man pages that Salem mentioned...
DAMMIT! Yet again my teacher has let me down. I am really not happy with him at all.
Oh well, only another 3 weeks and the course is ended. Needless to say, I don't think I'll continue on to do...
Hello again,
I am hoping someone will be able to help me out here.
I am currently in week 14 of a basic C course and a few weeks ago we built little circuit boards with LEDs and a 7-segment...
I believe that GCC won't tell you what the bugs are anyway. What you want is GDB. This will tell you where you have gone wrong (if, indeed, you have gone wrong). GCC is just a compiler.
It's not...
Great! I think I have a handle on it now. Thanks for the clarification.
I choose to ignore this information at this time since it is obviously well over my head and is only going to loosen my...
Well, I think I'm actually following that path and I am currently on the second step.
I've been programming in one language or another on and off for years (BASIC, Assembly, Pascal, Applescript -...
Yes, as I've said in a couple of different places on this forum, that little nugget of disinformation set me back by several weeks while I tried to work out what the hell was what. Not only did it...
Ahhh, cool! I didn't know that you could do that. I'm guessing that the compiler(?) just makes the array big enough to accept the data no matter how many characters it is? Correct?
If so, that is...
I'm not sure what constitutes an awkward development set but I am using the latest version of MacOS X (v10.4.5) with the latest version of Xcode (v2.2) and all the latest associated bits and pieces...
Ooh, sorry to hi-jack the thread but this touches on something that I am just learning at the moment and I'd like to ask a couple of related questions, if I may.
Please bear in mind that I am...
Is that a good idea? As far as I am aware, conio.h is not a standard C header file. It works under some Windows systems/compilers (Borland I think and maybe some others), but I don't think it is...
Yeah sorry about that, he deleted all his posts afterwards. I decided in the end that it wasn't worth responding.
I guess I should learn not to feed the trolls.
Sorry,
TV
Then why did you suggest I should delete mine as well? There would have been no record at all then.
Look, this is going nowhere and is now so far off topic it isn't even funny. Forget about it.
...
See my edit above
I think I'll leave mine thanks
EDIT - Why go to all the trouble of posting 8 or 9 posts aking me questions and making obscure allusions to the benefits/pitfalls of standard and non-standard C only...
Ok, I do know who K&R are, I just don't understand what you are trying to get at. Your posts are terse to the point of being incomprehensible.
Perhaps you would like to expand on your posts so...
Sorry, but I'm afraid that I don't understand what you are talking about qqqqxxxx
Hmmm, OK. Thanks for the advice people. Looks like I'll need to really need to concentrate to figure out pointers. It seems to be universally the hardest thing to wrap your head around.
I have...
Because they were all using the same compiler. I was the only one using a different complier.
Actually, to be more accurate, we were all, in theory, using the same compiler (GCC) but, for some...
Thank you very much for clearing this up for me. It is pretty much as I expected but it is great to have it confirmed.
Cheers,

Yes, I must agree. I'm still a newbie to C but during the first 2 weeks of my C experience when I still had no idea what was going on, I came across that whole fflush(stdin) issue and it really threw...
Hello all,
I am currently in week 7 of an 18 week C course and, over the past several weeks, I have had several problems with the examples given by my teacher. Some of you may remember this...
Hello All,
I am currently learning C but I'm not at all happy with my teacher or the pace of the course so I am considering just dropping the class altogether and attempting to teach myself C...
Just a quick update for all those who were/are following this thread...
On Monday I approached my teacher regarding fflush(stdin) and mentioned (respectfully) that I have been advised that it may...
Yeah, I am really impressed with the layout and the way it explains things but I'm now quite concerned that it may contain erorrs.
Oh well, I guess that is what forums are for...
Thanks for the...
