Maybe I have to stop visiting this forum, after all. Some of you don't like the way I give my two cents, and most of the time (not always, to be honest -- I read a handful of really valuable hints...
I would like to point out that I didn't submit any code at all. Looks like you don't like the people who do, so I'm not doing it (though I would like to). Quite and involuted sentence ideed, but I...
Indeed, I do as well. What can make "working examples" noxious is not "working examples" as such, but the learner's wrong attitude. Another problem could be on the teacher side -- there are some of...
Actually, I intended to be a little bit sarcastic, mates! :)
Nooooooooo! Disaster! Now you'll be accused of "spoon-feeding" the OP, that's for sure. Evil, evil, evil! :(
Jimmy, a tool is a tool. The problem is, who's going to use it and why. Just to say, one sells a gun to a chap who states that he's going to hunt rabbits for lunch. Then that chap goes and kills...
Did any of you ever read "1984"? Well, "Big Brother's watching you".
Shame on those who help anyone to implement this sort of spy/slavery tools. Computers should be here to make life a bit better,...
I use realloc() every now and then. When I do, my approach is something like this:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#define kInitialMemorySize 24
#define...
You know, I would't appreciate inccurring in any occasional ravaged anus as well. I think it's quite a widespread attitude, even though exceptions are a possibility.
Grumpy, I chose the wrong word. The meaning of the Italian word "radicale" is quite different from that of the English word "radical" (I just checked). In Italian, "radicale" stands for something...
There are QUITE A FEW "misundertandings" in your code. It should be rewritten from scratch, I fear, testing it step by step with a debugger to see whats going on. Some people here have pointed out...
Believe it or not, from a general standpoint I agree with you. My opinion is that you are a bit too radical, though.
I reviewed my "library" quite a bit, changing the approach to some functions in ways that look somewhat better to my eyes.
I tried a rough speed-test, too, using an Italian translation of Huxley’s...
Indeed, I am taking seriously any hint. I like learning. The problem is when those hints are simply not there! And, yes, I have no reason to doubt of Grumpy's knowledge and experience. Moreover, I'm...
Provided that the shift is needed, couldn't one use memmove() too?
It's not that difficult. Try starting from the end of the array (item[9]), not from its beginning. Take item[8] and put it into item[9], take item[7] and put it into item[8], take item[6] and put it...
Home again. MutantJohn, I read with care what you wrote. Written as you wrote, the general concept is much easier to grasp (no japanese in your words! :) ). It makes sense or, I could even say, it's...
Many thanks, MutantJohn. I haven't the time to spend for the deep reasoning required by your reply right now, but I'm surely going to find it this evening.
Grumpy, I can't do without noticing that, at times, you are rather rude (not just this time, such a stile emerge in many threads). Saying to one who's trying to discuss about a topic "I'm an expert,...
Mmm... the problem is not in the level of math as such, it's in the jargon used to deal with it. It's like studying the history of London written in Japanese (provided that you are not from Japan, of...
Many thanks for your articulated reply, Grumpy. You pointed out so many things that I can hardly take them all into account at once, though. So I start with just a few of them (by now).
#1. O(n^2)...
Yes, char*** is what I intended to obtain. The reason is that I needed to point ot an array of char*, which means I needed a char**. And I needed a way to handle dynamic allocation of such array, so...
Ah, good question! :) There's a problem, though: I'm a self-taught hobbyist non-programmer, so I can't even get what you actually mean by "O(n^2) algorithm". I guess from what I read in other threads...

A couple of days ago, I had a conversation about reading formatted text, and I enjoyed it quite a lot. So, I tried to put together a few functions that SHOULD help with tasks like that....
