...And on my current project I'm using 2 embedded compilers as well as Borland C++Builder. I understand what you mean about needing to know ANSI-C, but I'm coming from the viewpoint that I have about...

It's in my court to disprove that "all" compiler-specific books are to be avoided? I don't think so. And the tone you use here is very common of most of the posts of yours that I have read:...

Every single one, eh? Wow, how can I argue with a statement like that? Clearly you're an expert on the book market! :rolleyes:

And "drivel" - who the hell do you think you are? I make an...

An excerpt from the Pointers on C review:

The problem I have with choosing a single C reference is picking one that can both speak to an audience that has *never* programmed (such as the OP) and...

So are the books to be avoided solely because you can't actually learn it within that time frame? Or is it because they aren't exhaustive references of the C language? Either argument is lame, IMHO,...

OK.........reason(s) why?

I'm not trying to say it's a complete C learning reference, but I thought it was a good "beginner's" introduction to the language...

Seems good...still well under $4000, right?
So save the remainder for when your great new PC is not good enough for the newest games that come out in 2 years! :rolleyes:

Take a look at:

I started learning C with Sams Teach Yourself in 21 Days, and would recommend it.
Also I think the New C Primer Plus (Waite & Prata) is a...

A simple address book? Good for working with structs, pointers, files, and user interface concepts.

Are you looking to develop a GUI-based project, or console-based?

What is your experience...

This is exactly my problem with many programming class assignments - seems too often just accomplishing the stated goals is good enough, but for real-life applications MUCH time is devoted to...

Well that's great! I'm sure it's a fine piece of work.

So I guess you came a long way in a short period of time - from simply copying and pasting the entire assignment in your initial post to...

One suggestion I would make is that "whitespace" includes other characters as well, such as horizontal tab and linefeed. For this reason I would replace direct comparisons to ' ' with a call to...

Just the logic required to determine the checkmate condition or to validate legal moves is pretty advanced for a "C Prog Class"...

Borland C++Builder? Good choice! :cool:

There is actually a Text Editor tutorial included in the online help for C++Builder...also check out: http://www.programmershelp.co.uk/c++builder.php.

Dude, I hate seeing you get flamed, but seriously (!!) - that's all the detail you're going to provide?!

Can you give us some more clues, please? GUI or command-line, at least?

Creating a chess...

We're getting closer! Now, what environment are you using? Are you using an IDE where you can quickly build a form using a graphic editor, or are you intending to code it manually through your...

Well as long as you have a reason! ;)

I wasn't intending to call what you've done a "logical error", because it's not - it's a valid way to approach the problem. I just tend to restrict my use...

Well, I think we're going to need a few more details, such as the intended user interface platform. How to construct the menu will vary quite a bit depending on if your menu should run from a...

I would suggest getting a *good* C-only reference, and then a *good* OpenGL reference...a quick search on half.com showed many OpenGL books...I'm guessing the good ones will assume some proficiency...

If only string comparisons were that easy in C... :rolleyes:

Most string operations will require that you call some kind of string function. The if-else arrangement you have shown would require...

If C++Builder for Dummies is any indication, I wouldn't waste my time. I picked it up used because there was such a lack of references for C++Builder, but it was useless.

For C there are so many...

OK...but do you have a specific question about either part?

Does the program as you have it so far work as you would expect? If not, what in particular is not working?

Also, code without at...

I do not believe you can do the following:



for(i=0;i<foobar;i++){
setA[i]={pt1,pt2,pt3};//pt1-pt3 are some double values
}

...because that method is only possible for initialization....

data is declared as an array of what type?

In the second statement you are assigning the hashNode* previous to the value contained in an element of the data array. If data is not an array of...

Pacino,

Even though you may not be very interested in programming, I am sure you still want to submit your best work and get a good grade on the assignment. That being said, the only way you will...
