Some quick help is possible :)

Hi just wondered if anyone could do me a favor... :D

I've been given some code to look over, adapt etc but it doesn't run or compile on my dev-c++ compiler.

I was told it should work fine but because i have little experience i can't really tell if it's me, the code or if i'am doing something fundementally wrong which wouldn't surprise me :)

The link is below, it's not a virus but ZCS a learning classifier, i'll understand if no one wants to download it, and i hope i haven't broken any rules in this post.

All I get is rapidshare adverts

That's cause you can only link so close to an item on rapid share. You have to click free... then you have to put in the three digit code and download.

Or the OP could actually normal and just post the code or even attach the source in the post.

Anyway, the first problem you're having is you're compiling C code as a .cpp. And when the code has identifiers such as "class" which share the names with C++ keywords... you're going to have problems when you compile as a CPP.

The second problem is that whoever wrote it uses the function random() which isn't declared. Based on how he uses it, I'd imagine he wanted to use rand().

Change those and it compiles. It doesn't run though.

it also uses outdated header files.
