    Question executables

    I have just started out learning how to program in C. I am trying to transfer one of my small, simple programs to a floppy disk to bring to work. I know the program works properly as I have tested it out. What I am wondering is, how do I get my program, which was written in my schools UNIX system onto a floppy diask and work the way it does when I run it in UNIX? I would really appreciate any help anybody can give me. It is just a simple text program with some choices. I have been trying for a while and just cannot get it to transfer to a floppy and run. Thanks anybody for some pointers.

    The problem is that unless the system you want to run the Unix program on uses the same setup for executable binaries, it won't work. If possible, download a free compiler for your unnamed system and recompile your code for that system. If it was written in standard C, you can save the code itself and recompile it on whatever system you want without too much trouble.
    My best code is written with the delete key.

    There are conversion programs that can patch one type of format to another, but more complex programs- with extensive platform dependant function calls - are obviously less likely to be convertible than, say, a com to elf format.
    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;
}
