Couldn't find the intro section so I'll just do this here.

Hi, just joined.
My intentions are to find a friendly reliable forum for keeping my computer happy and maybe chat with some interesting folks.

Thank you in advance and Merry Christmas.

And I wonder why you have only two modes: CAPS and nocaps. But I guess we never will know, will we? ;D

Me thinks it's called uncaps if you uncapitalize the letter. :-?

You better no-capitalize that letter just sounds wrong,even
in Georgia. :-?

LOL ;D

I don't know what else to call it. I could call it several things depending on the level of smartass I want to be:

Smartass Level 1
UPPERCASE and lowercase

Smartass Level 2
All-capitalized and all-non-capitalized.

Smartass Level 3(thousand)
Code: [Select]
for(int i = 0; i < string.length(); i++) //Loops until variable "i" reaches the end of the string
{
string[i] = toupper(string[i]); //Replaces the letter at position "WhateverIis" with the uppercase version.
}

for(int i = 0; i < string.length(); i++) //Loops until variable "i" reaches the end of the string
{
string[i] = tolower(string[i]); //Replaces the letter at position "WhateverIis" with the lowercase version.
}

;D

What kind of smartass comments his code? ;) And the {} are unneeded for most languages, if there is but a single statement within the loop.

Neil:

1) The kind of person who will look back on his code years later and otherwise think: "What the *censored* was this guy on?"

2) True, but it's all about setting habits. (Also, I had been editing and debugging. The code in those if statements had ranged from one line to 20 lines in about 20 minutes.)

Edit: I just realised something: where IS this new member of ours?

Just because pointers rule.

Code: [Select]
// pointers.cpp : main project file.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#define MAX 30

int *getmax(int *, int *);

int main()
{
      int v[MAX];
      for(int a = 0; a < MAX; a++)
            *(v+a) = a;
      int *p1, *p2;
      p1 = v;
      printf("v[0] = %d, v[1] = %d, v[MAX] = %d\n",
            *p1, *p1+1, *p1+MAX);
      p2 = p1+10;
      printf("*p2 = %d %d, *(p1+10) = %d, p2-p1 = %d, p2+30 = %d\n",
            *p2, v[10], *(p1+10), p2-p1, p2+30);

      int a, b;

      printf("Two integers please: ");
      scanf("%d %d", &a, &b);
      printf("The largest number is %d",
            *getmax(&a, &b));

      getchar();
      return 0;
}

int *getmax(int *num1, int *num2)
{
      return *num1 >= *num2 ? num1 : num2;
}

I posted mean things, and he ran away. It's all my fault. :(

"I posted mean things" and "he ran away" are possible sentences in themselves, and therefore must be joined with a comma.

That may be true but, Java is a pain in the *censored* when you don't have a { opening and } closing on any method. It depends on what you are trying to do that decides whether or not you need the brackets.

That wasn't Java, it was C++. :)

Don't you mean coma? ;D

A comma cannot be used to join two phrases which, independantly, can exist as two seperate sentances. Honestly ::)

Off-Topic  One could always be short of m's and slip into a coma
if one wished. :-? ;D

His brain wave machine didn't work,so he flipped around emitting gases in a coma.

After a while PeckerWood was shot,then I revived him. ;D
