I have no idea what this is doing. What does time have to do with getting a random integer? what is with the syntax? and why null?

Hmm, it doesn't seem to be working. I have no idea what the math is doing, but I pasted it in my code anyway as a function, and called on that function in my mainline.

For those who care, here is...

guys I'm a newbie lol... I don't even understand pointers that well yet. Those answers are a bit too technical lol.

So lets see, a seed is a starting point in a random range?

I can't seem to...

hmmm is it bad that I don't understand the FAQ on it?

I mean it looks way too complicated...

why can't it be like Random(10-20) lol.


I guess if someone got into some details, of how it...

How can I set a variable to a random number from X to Y?

X being the minimum limit of the randomization.
Y being the maximum limit of the randomization.

wow, thanks man! that really helped!

Oh, thanks guys! I finally understand how to organize my project now. Well, as for the header problem, it won't compile my test program unless the header works. Here is my program:



//Decision...

Yeah, but I thought the Resource View showed all of the source and header files that are used in the project, kind of to organize it. You wouldn't just use ONE .cpp file for the entire program, would...

I try to "Add Existing Item" to a project, and when I add a .h or .cpp file, it doesn't show up in my "Resource View". I wish I knew where these files I'm adding are going, if they are even being...

Apples are made to eat, not process :D

so, its just a combination of binary code? For example, 2 bytes would calculate 255^2, which would equal 65025, which in turn is the max number 2 bytes can hold?

If i'm wrong, maybe you can tell...

I downloaded the 80MB october 2003 update for the MSDN 2003, and it says it can't install because "the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of...

Okay, Bytes and Bits were things I learned about when I was 12... but, now, I feel like I have to learn them all over again.

A byte, to me, is 8 bits... and one byte is usually one single...

OMG VISUAL STUDIO .NET 2003 IS SO AWESOME!!!!

I just got it today! omg guys... OMG.....

is 98 better than 6.0?

and what about .NET version?

This is the place I made for compiler reviews, not only for myself, but for everyone else that would like some good personal opinions about different compilers from different people.

It would be...

I asked earlier about decent compilers, anyone have any recommendations? I'm using Bloodshed Dev-C++ compiler, and the interface is amazing. I really like it. Any comments?

Thank you so much everyone for helping out. I have learned a LOT more than I expected tonight.

But, it is to everyone's disappointment that this post will come to its demise. It grew so fast!...

well I don't know what kind of program to write. I only know a little bit, enough for a console program. If it comes down to windows apps, I'm screwed.

actually it's pretty good... so, with a pointer, you can always keep up with what information is at that address, even though the variable using that information may change, the pointer will always...

I will eventually get to writing my own code, but before I start using a certain aspect of the language I want to understand 2 basic things:

1. syntax
2. how the entire thing functions, and what...

LOL

I would hit the people that say a "bubba" is some fat scary gay dude in jail waiting for newcomers... absolute nonsense!

Bubba actually tends to be an experienced programmer... not a fat guy in a...

oh yes, I get it now. It's just the way you form it. Got it!

But see, that's where pointers confuse me. If a variable already has the information... why do you have to use a pointer to point to...

lol... See why I like this forum so much? people actually TALK!!... in my previous forum I was it, I would be lucky to get 3 replies in 4 years...
