    Is that a trick question? Because it takes a char* numbskull! j/k

    Here, add this to your toolbox:

    Code:
    int Alert(int style, const char * message, ...)  {
      char output[strlen(message) + 1024];
      va_list p;
      va_start(p, message);
      vsprintf(output, message, p);
      return MessageBox(NULL, "Notification: ", output, style);
      }
    
    int Alert(const char * message, ...) {
      char output[strlen(message) + 1024];
      va_list p;
      va_start(p, message);
      vsprintf(output, message, p);
      return MessageBox(NULL, "Notification: ",  output, MB_OK);
      }
    Code:
    #include <cmath>
    #include <complex>
    bool euler_flip(bool value)
    {
        return std::pow
        (
            std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), 
            std::complex<float>(0, 1) 
            * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0)
            *(1 << (value + 2)))
        ).real() < 0;
    }

    because it wants a LPCSTR..
    use itoa() to convert the integer to a char* string first and then pass it..
