Flashy title? I know. I made this thread in the C programing section because its about a program that I programed in C. What is it? Its a program that plays the jeopardy theme song then some random stuff here is the code.

(turn down the volume if you are in a computer lab or something if you dont want everyone to wonder if your the awesomest person in the world)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
main()
{
      int int1 = 1;
      int beeper = 2000;
      
      while(int1 == 1 || int1 == 2)
      {
      beep(500,500);
      beep(700,500);
      beep(500,500);
      beep(300,500);
      beep(500,500);
      beep(700,500);
      beep(500,1000);
      sleep(100);
      beep(500,500);
      beep(700,500);
      beep(500,500);
      beep(700,500);
      beep(900,800);
      beep(700,220);
      beep(500,220);
      beep(400,220);
      beep(350,220);
      beep(300,220);
      sleep(100);
      int1++;
      }
      
      printf("rANdOm TiMe :D");
      beep(422,324);
      beep(234,242);
      beep(324,335);
      beep(243,914);
      beep(924,219);
      beep(204,424);
      beep(324,234);
      beep(204,753);
      beep(490,10);
      beep(5000,10);
      beep(320,32);
      
      while(beeper > 0)
      {
                 
                 beep(beeper,10);
                 beeper=beeper - 20;
                 printf("%d\n",beeper);
                 
      }
      
      
      }

doesn't compile, says undefined reference to beep. Do I need to link something?

[Adak]

Thanks.

If it cant compile with the sleep function in it just take it out. it isnt that important.
(it works with dev-c++) I thought the sleep function was in the stdlib.h file. I will attach mine.
hope it works

Oops I said sleep function. I ment beep
yea that doesn't need any .h file I think.

just wait I found something at MSDN
hope it helps.

[Char*Pntr]

ok, I'll give it a try. :-)

[Bayint Naung]

sleep() is not part of standard C library if i'm not wrong.
Header file only contains function prototype.

[xniinja]

That sucks. sorry if you cant use this

[Adak]

I replaced "beep" with "sound( ); delay( ); nosound(); ", since my compiler doesn't support "beep".

I added also the include file <dos.h> for sound() and nosound().

It's a little tedious with the editing, but what's left is basically just to transfer over the number for sound() (like 500), and delay() (which is now the second number in the "beep" function call.

[xniinja]

can you post your code so other people that don't have compilers that support beep can run it?

[Adak]

/* plays the theme from Jeopardy game show (more or less) ;)

   Compiles and runs on Turbo C (and possibly other compilers
   as well).

  For MS compilers, you may need to replace "delay" (which gives
  me ms's of delay), with "sleep". MS compilers are the opposite
  of Turbo C with delay and sleep functionality.

[Elysia]

can you post your code so other people that don't have compilers that support beep can run it?

Adak uses another old, deprecated, non-standard compliant compiler that no one else has or uses. Therefore, any code that Adak posts is not standard compliant and sometimes won't compile for other people who keep their compilers up to date.
Keep that in mind.
Adak's example is a broken mess; as is yours, because you both use non-standard libraries that not all platforms have and not all compilers implement.

[xniinja]

Yea I figured that out when I tried to compile it in my compiler. oh well I was just having fun anyway.

[Elysia]

Well, using them is fine so long as you're aware of the consequences.

[Adak]

@Xninja, your compiler doesn't have dos.h?

Your compiler will use sleep() instead of delay(), to get the timing right.

Which brings me to the best code comment I've seen:

/*
True story: 7 Hz is the resonant
frequency of a chicken's skull cavity.
This was determined empirically in
Australia, where a new factory
generating 7-Hz tones was located too
close to a chicken ranch: When the
factory started up, all the chickens
died.
*/

which is included with the nosound() explanation and sample program, in Turbo C/C++.

General consensus on the web - it's a myth. But this happened before the web began, and sounds pretty specific to be a myth.

Researchers in this area, have found various sound and RF frequencies which are painful or worse, to soldiers and researchers alike.
