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. :-?

              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.
              }

                  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.)

                            Just because pointers rule.

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

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

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

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

                                         8-) Smartass police

                                        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.
                                        Computers are the future, not us. Learn everything you can about them while you still can, soon they will be learning about us... Every bit of advice that I give you is best guess, it is your choice whether or not you listen to it.

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