Thread: i dont know what to put for a title here.

hey i want to know HOW DO YOU PUT THINGS IN ORDER. FOR EXAMPLE (PAY ATTENTION TO THIS BIT) JOHN HAS 10 APPLES OVER ALL , SARAH HAS 7 APPLES, PETER HAS 4 APPLES AND KATE HAS 2 APPLES. INSTEAD OF PRINTING OUT IN UN-DESCENDING ORDER I WANT TO PRINT THEM OUT IN DESCENDING ORDER FROM GREATEST TO LEAST AMOUNT OF APPLES EACH HAS BUT THE PROBLEM IS GUYS.... GUESS WHAT??? I WONT KNOW HOW MANY APPLES THEY WILL EACH HAVE AT THE END OF APPLE PICKING. SO INSTEAD OF GOING "IF JOHN HAS GREATER APPLES THAN SARAH AND GREATER APPLES THAT KATE AND GREATER APPLES THAN KATE... THEN PUT HIM AT THE TOP OF THE TABLE. AND THEN GOING WELL IF JOHN DOESNT HAVE THE MOST APPLES AND KATE HAS MORE THAN JOHN BUT LESS THAN PETER BUT MORE THAN SARAH THEN PUT HER SECOND AND BLA BLA BLA BLA...!!! I WANT TO FIND OUT A SIMPLE WAY OF SORTING THINGS. PLEASE HELP. YOU CAN SENSE MY FRUSTRATION. HERE IS MY CODE OF A LEAGUE TABLE WITH A SIMILAR ISSUE BECAUSE I WANT TO SORT OUT WHO GOES AT THE TOP OF THE TABLE, THEN SECOND AND SO ON UNTIL LAST ACCORDING TO THEIR OVERALL POINTS WHICH ARE ACCUMULATED BY WINNING AND DRAWING GAMES!!!!!!!!!!

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>


struct bones
{
    char name[20];
    int played;
    int scored;
    int won;
    int drawn;
    int lost;
    int points;


};




struct bones team[4];

...and now you are stomping on the keyboard?

The last week you've posted dozens of problems with essentially this same program; you've been having people here write your code for you a few lines and a couple problems at a time.

Why don't you stop trying to solve this problem which you are clearly and painfully not ready to tackle? Why don't you get yourself a good book, do the exercises, and actually learn to program. If you would just stop trying to do this by cobbling together your own guesswork with the notes forum regulars have offered you'd see that this program isn't nearly as difficult as you've managed to make it.

The problem you've described here, for all of its rampant stupidity, has already been solved by an earlier thread.

ok jump off your high horse their because even though i have asked a few question i actually figured out my SMALL mistakes MYSELF because people like you seem to not want to offer a few keystrokes out of your life to someone who wants to learn and SOOME PEOPLE FIND IT HARD TO LEARN IF ITS NOT FROM SOMEONE ELSE'S HELP OR EXPLAINATION just like a baby learns from diagrams so learns visually. so to be honest the only thing i really do need help on is this sorting part because i have looked it up everywhere and just cannot get to grips with it so i came here because maybe by off chance someone here has done these types of things before who may lend a hand to me unlike you who wants to bark at me. YOU JUST WASTED YOUR TIME YOU KNOW, and guess what??... it's a forum so make use of this service. thanks for wasting my time and yours.

and by the way enough of the exaggeration. "you have posted dozens of problems". ehm no i havent actually. if you want to throw abuse at me at least get it right.

Not the way to talk to someone who has taken the time and trouble to answer your post and offer some suggestions. You are wasting the time of all the people in here who give their time and experience to help others.

Go learn some manners - maybe before you reach puberty!

Has it ever occurred to you, even remotely perhaps, that the reason people don't offer help has nothing to do with your code? IT'S YOU!

no its you people because nobody has any manners here . you are all hot headed frustrated people who just want to fight all the time. i love to help people unike you people. sometimes i would go " how do you declare an int for example" not that i would need to know that but the first comment would be "well you should try work it out for yourself" then i would go "well the reason im here is to learn and because i dont know how to do it" and then they would go "bark bark bark" so they waste my time and theirs. instead they should say " ok david this is how you should do it , here is my help because i know how to do it and i want to teach others instead of being stuck up bitc**** and not offering what they know.

Not gonna try and read that huge wall of whine...

But Claudiu was right, it's not that we don't want to help. We've helped many people that show a bit of decency and intelligence asking questions. But you need to understand that there's a difference between helping and tutoring -- and it sounds like you need the latter.

> the first comment would be "well you should try work it out for yourself"
Of course it would! We shouldn't and won't answer questions that can easily be googled, it's a waste of time for both parties. And you're learning nothing in the process, when someone's spoon-feeding you all of the information.

> instead they should say " ok david this is how you should do it , here is my help because i know how to do it and i want to teach others instead of being stuck up bitc****
It's funny that you think we're here to teach you, and arrogant that you think that our failure to do so is "being stuck up bitc****".

There's just a point where we don't feel like answering retarded questions about your ........ing "league table" for the twentieth time. Do yourself a favor and use Google.

Code:

nobody has any manners
you are all hot headed
being stuck up bitc****

Well, I can't speak for the rest of you, but I am convinced that he is a changed man ready and willing to work with us.
