Think about what the type is of the data you are working with, and where you are converting.

#

That code is not hard to read, Jabba. var names aren't descriptive, but that's really common in math algorithm implementation.

vernal vigil May 19, 2021, 5:36 PM

#

idk if its normal, but i give names like these

Scanner input1 = Scanner....
Scanner input2 = Scanner ..

pre easy to understand if am giving it to read to someone else

dusty ore May 19, 2021, 5:36 PM

#

It's a simple math program so yea I was too lazy to rewrite the very long variable name again

vernal vigil May 19, 2021, 5:36 PM

#

but its kinda obvious soo

dusty ore May 19, 2021, 5:38 PM

#

k imma start rubber duck debugging tomorrow

#

james told me it's core skill so tipsfedora

magic falcon May 19, 2021, 5:40 PM

#

It really is. It wasn't introduced to me by that name, but the process was the first way debugging was introduced to me.

dusty ore May 19, 2021, 5:41 PM

#

What is the shorter way of saying "rubber duck debugging"

magic falcon May 19, 2021, 5:41 PM

#

Another technique that will help you a lot is use TDD. This is especially helpful for math functions because black box concepts are really easy understand with math functions.

Hello everyone, please I have a question about pointers in C language.
This notation
P1=&A;

Means that P1 receives the adress of A (a given variable ) does this also imply that *P1=A the value of P1 becomes the same value as A?

magic falcon May 19, 2021, 9:07 PM

#

That can depend on what kind of variable P1 is declared as

steel zodiac May 19, 2021, 9:11 PM

#

Integer

magic falcon May 19, 2021, 9:11 PM

#

int P1 = &A; is horrible practice. Don't get in that habit of storing addresses as integers.

steel zodiac May 19, 2021, 9:12 PM

#

It's declarred like this
int A=1;
int *P1;

magic falcon May 19, 2021, 9:13 PM

#

int * and int are two very different datatypes.

#

in your scenario, P1=&A is telling P1 that the address P1 is pointing to is the same place in memory as A. *P1=A is de-referencing the address of P1 and copying the value of A into that address. This can be dangerous if the memory P1 is pointing to has not been allocated by the program.

#

It's pretty common mistake to do something like int *P1; int A = 7; *P1=A

steel zodiac May 19, 2021, 9:18 PM

#

int *P1; int A =7 ; P1=&A;

#

Is the correct form?

magic falcon May 19, 2021, 9:24 PM

#

Same problem

#

but yeah, ; between statements

steel zodiac May 19, 2021, 9:26 PM

#

languid sail But what's the problem? I have a stable internet connection

looks like lots of incorrect syntax’s.

languid sail May 20, 2021, 3:40 AM

#

How?

#

@lilac holly I wrote correctly, I think

lilac holly May 20, 2021, 3:41 AM

#

look at the errors.

#

it shows the code and what line

languid sail May 20, 2021, 3:42 AM

#

They are connection errors?

lilac holly May 20, 2021, 3:42 AM

#

maybe some but lots look like syntax errors afaik

#

i don’t really program at python but it looks like it’s syntax error

languid sail May 20, 2021, 3:43 AM

#

Hmmm. Are they In my program?

#

Or any module?

lilac holly May 20, 2021, 3:44 AM

i see the error trying to say something abt the file

languid sail May 20, 2021, 3:44 AM

read the error

lilac holly May 20, 2021, 3:45 AM

lilac holly i see the error trying to say something abt the file

yup

#

i can’t really help i never code py before

#

i do minimal python but that is syntax errors

languid sail May 20, 2021, 3:45 AM

42 and 31?

lilac holly May 20, 2021, 3:45 AM

languid sail 42 and 31?

the error tells which line

lilac holly May 20, 2021, 3:46 AM

#

languid sail 42 and 31?

400, 600

#

it’s the code that is making the request which is giving you errors

#

that reminds me cpp programming, one error and it will show a bunch of error message.

languid sail May 20, 2021, 3:46 AM

#

lilac holly 400, 600

My program is shorter than this...

lilac holly May 20, 2021, 3:46 AM

not your connection

oh okay then but still look

languid sail May 20, 2021, 3:47 AM

Hmmm.

lilac holly May 20, 2021, 3:47 AM

#

it’s the request codes

languid sail May 20, 2021, 3:47 AM

But the problem is, the error occurs differently everytime...

#

Sometimes at password 500

#

And sometimes at 700

#

Even sometimes at 1500

lilac holly May 20, 2021, 3:48 AM

the program will do exactly what you wrote

one string of bad code will mess up the whole program

languid sail May 20, 2021, 3:48 AM

Should I send the code?

lilac holly May 20, 2021, 3:48 AM

because you didn’t write the program correct

And it's correct, sys.argv[1]

At the Except, u can do like except exception as e: and then see if it keyboard interrupt, if yes then quit, else pass.

Is there a name for this syntax of writing bytes \x41\x42\x43 ? escaped bytes ?

solar echo May 21, 2021, 5:48 PM

#

@tired ether hexadecimal?

mortal flint May 21, 2021, 5:51 PM

#

that's not hex

solar echo May 21, 2021, 5:54 PM

#

@mortal flint pretty sure it is

#

@mortal flint x41 = A, x42 = B and x43 is C

#

you can look it up on cyberchef

rigid tapir May 21, 2021, 6:01 PM

#

Hi all, can anyone help explain some python syntax to me, I don't understand it and can't find any more info> (using socket library)
connection, address = s.accept()
Is this setting connection and address to be the same value of s.accept() ? Or is it the same as doing s.accept(connection, address) ?

mortal flint May 21, 2021, 6:05 PM

#

s.accept() returns two values

tired ether May 21, 2021, 6:06 PM

#

s.accept will return a tuple in the form (x, y) (I don't know the exact contents offhand) and the assignment will be expanded to connection =x, address = y

solar echo May 21, 2021, 6:06 PM

#

@rigid tapir it's like this, if you do the line

x, y = 1, 2

print(x, y)

#

then x will = 1

#

and y will = 2

#

it's respective to the order they're defined in

tired ether May 21, 2021, 6:07 PM

#

solar echo <@!815077626418954251> x41 = A, x42 = B and x43 is C

0x41 is hexadecimal, I'm talking about \x41 it's like a byte representation in strings but I don't know what this syntax is called

solar echo May 21, 2021, 6:08 PM

#

so since s.accept() returns two values, with this in mind your line

connection, address = s.accept()

connection will equal the first returned value and address will equal the second returned value

#

and if you only said something like

#

conncetion = s.accept()

then connection will be assigned both values and be a tuple

#

@tired ether hmmmm, I usually use those arguments when writing in perl or something

#

and to my knowledge it was in hexadecimal

#

@tired ether are you using it for something at the moment? if so could you post it

#

in a book i'm reading it says
Any character, such as a nonprintable character, can also be printed by using \x##, where ## is the hexadecimal value of the character

tired ether May 21, 2021, 6:11 PM

#

It's okay, I figured out my problem it was just hard to search for because I don't know what the name of this \x41 syntax is hahaha, but thank you 🙂

solar echo May 21, 2021, 6:12 PM

#

@tired ether yeah I'm pretty sure I'm right in saying that you can just call it hexadecimal

#

because at the end of the day, that's typically what it's used for

#

and also what it translates to

#

also, you don't always have to include the 0 in hexadecimal

tired ether May 21, 2021, 6:14 PM

#

My problem was searching about hexadecimal all the posts used 0x41 which wasn't applicable for what I'm doing 😅

I'm interested in low level programming, not too much of a fan of assembly though, I prefer programming in C. But if you want to know it well then it's best to know assembly and how the processor and memory works

#

I've logged a "hey" to check and it doesn't seem to run.

mortal flint May 21, 2021, 9:28 PM

#

what languages is this? js?

#

game[i][index] !== 0 is probably your problem

lilac holly May 21, 2021, 9:28 PM

#

Yes, it's JS.

#

Why is that a problem?

mortal flint May 21, 2021, 9:29 PM

#

do you know that the first loop definitely gets executed?

lilac holly May 21, 2021, 9:29 PM

#

Yes

#

It does. I checked it.

mortal flint May 21, 2021, 9:29 PM

#

after that let index = line, I'd print out what index is, as well as game[0][index]

lilac holly May 21, 2021, 9:30 PM

#

the index depends on each loop

#

but it works

mortal flint May 21, 2021, 9:30 PM

#

I mean the first one, before the inner loop

lilac holly May 21, 2021, 9:30 PM

#

that's why I am confused

#

Yes.

#

game[0][index] works

mortal flint May 21, 2021, 9:30 PM

#

well, if it works, then what's the problem? 🙂

lilac holly May 21, 2021, 9:30 PM

#

the second loop doesn't run

#

the inner loop

mortal flint May 21, 2021, 9:30 PM

#

what's the value of game[0][index]?

#

before the inner loop runs

lilac holly May 21, 2021, 9:31 PM

#

lilac holly Is anyone able to see why the second for loop not running?

@mortal flint this is the problem

lilac holly May 21, 2021, 9:31 PM

#

mortal flint what's the value of game[0][index]?

0

mortal flint May 21, 2021, 9:31 PM

#

lilac holly 0

that's why the inner loop doesn't execute

lilac holly May 21, 2021, 9:31 PM

#

mortal flint that's why the inner loop doesn't execute

Oh right

mortal flint May 21, 2021, 9:31 PM

#

before that inner loop, print the value of: game[i][index] !== 0

#

should be true or false.

lilac holly May 21, 2021, 9:32 PM

#

you're right

#

I need to use a different loop for this

magic falcon May 21, 2021, 9:32 PM

#

At least a different condition

mortal flint May 21, 2021, 9:32 PM

#

if/when that condition is false, the loop exits. Even if that means it exits on the first iteration

lilac holly May 21, 2021, 9:33 PM

#

yeah I better use a while loop

magic falcon May 21, 2021, 9:33 PM

#

That isn't going to solve your problem.

lilac holly May 21, 2021, 9:33 PM

#

it will

#

I just need to change a few things

mortal flint May 21, 2021, 9:34 PM

#

while loops and for loops are (or can be) written to be equivalent

lilac holly May 21, 2021, 9:34 PM

#

yeah true

#

waot

lilac holly May 21, 2021, 9:35 PM

#

mortal flint before that inner loop, print the value of: game[i][index] !== 0

if index is 0 and it says !== 0

mortal flint May 21, 2021, 9:36 PM

#

I'm not even sure you want/need an inner loop there. You're switching back and forth between two values, it looks like?

lilac holly May 21, 2021, 9:36 PM

#

Yes

#

I need it cause I need to know when to go up arrays or not

#

but what I wanna know is why inner loop don't run

#

if game[i][index] === 0;

mortal flint May 21, 2021, 9:37 PM

#

perhaps using a boolean would be better? something like isPlayerOnesTurn

lilac holly May 21, 2021, 9:37 PM

#

then shouldn't it run until it's not 0?

mortal flint May 21, 2021, 9:37 PM

#

show me the loop init line

lilac holly May 21, 2021, 9:38 PM

#

for (let i = 0; game[i][index] !== 0; i++)

lilac holly May 21, 2021, 9:38 PM

#

mortal flint perhaps using a boolean would be better? something like isPlayerOnesTurn

yeah but I need the numbers not booleans

#

although boolean works too in a way

mortal flint May 21, 2021, 9:38 PM

#

if(isPlayerOnesTurn) { x = 0 } or something

mortal flint May 21, 2021, 9:39 PM

#

lilac holly ```for (let i = 0; game[i][index] !== 0; i++)```

this will run until a zero value is encountered, which is what it start with, so it will never run

humble sandal May 21, 2021, 9:39 PM

#

you want to loop to run as long as game i index is not 0 but then you do if game i i ndex == 0 which will never happen since the loop will no longer execute when its 0 ?

lilac holly May 21, 2021, 9:39 PM

#

mortal flint this will run until a zero value is encountered, which is what it start with, so...

I thought it was the other way around

magic falcon May 21, 2021, 9:40 PM

#

!== is a type comparison. JS is funky, and may not be evaluating zero the way it ought to

lilac holly May 21, 2021, 9:40 PM

#

but they are the same type

#

they are both number types in JS

lilac holly May 21, 2021, 10:22 PM

#

solar echo are you a beginner to these things or are you trying to ask an assembly question...

both

solar echo May 21, 2021, 10:37 PM

#

@lilac holly oh well to be honest, I'd recommend you start with C or something before you dive into Assembly

#

learning Assembly will help learning C, but then learning C will help learning Assembly

#

it's just that C is easier, and since you're a beginner I think it's appropriate

lilac holly May 21, 2021, 10:38 PM

#

makes sense

#

any IDE and or recourses you think I should get, for teaching myself? @solar echo

solar echo May 21, 2021, 10:40 PM

#

IDE I'd say just go with Visual studio code as you can easily run programs in there. I use Vim and compile, debug and run in terminal. I will send you resources in dms

#

most people recommend "The C Programming Language", and although this is a good book. I think that it's for someone who is more experienced computer science and programming wise

#

so instead I recommend the book "Head First C" which I think is a book so simple that even a 5 year old could comprehend it

#

yet it covers so much in so much detail

#

I sent you a pdf of it in dms

#

nevermind, looks like you don't like outsiders

@solar echo Do not distribute copyrighted material, that's book piracy

solar echo May 21, 2021, 10:46 PM

as for assembly, I recommend reading "Hacking: The Art of Exploitation 2nd Edition" by Jon Erickson

#

@onyx merlin sorry

onyx merlin May 21, 2021, 10:46 PM

#

Yeah, but don't break the law while doing that.

solar echo May 21, 2021, 10:46 PM

#

mhm

#

anyways

#

The art of exploitation teaches C in it's second chapter, now although you could argue that this makes reading Head First C useless... I disagree. It teaches things at a fast pace and very briefly. A beginner won't be able to keep up

#

this also explores the relation ship Assembly, C and the cpu has with each other

can anyone help me with some basic python stuff?

if the input is a c
print out the list of characters from a to c more specific is a b c

#

how can i do that with for loop

#

I got someone help me, sorry i was too sleepy to focus

solar echo May 22, 2021, 7:19 PM

#

@dusty ore was it a tuple or something that you were working with?

dusty ore May 22, 2021, 7:19 PM

#

Ye

solar echo May 22, 2021, 7:19 PM

#

did you figure out your problem or do you still need help

#

I think this would be easier to do with a list or a dictionary

true pumice May 22, 2021, 7:50 PM

#

Something like this?

data = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"]
userInput = input("Enter a selection: ")

save = False
output = []

for char in data:
  if char == userInput.split(" ")[0]:
    save = True

  elif char == userInput.split(" ")[1]:
    save = False

  if save:
    output.append(char)

#

Super inefficient but it's the easiest

solar echo May 22, 2021, 7:53 PM

#

not too bad, it works

#

better than making two variables for the range

#

like

#

userInput1, userInput2 = input("Enter a selection: ")

#

I haven't wrote python in ages but I'm pretty sure that works

surreal bronze May 22, 2021, 8:22 PM

nah

#

that wont work @solar echo

#

You'll get a value error because its 2:1

solar echo May 22, 2021, 8:22 PM

you have to put .split() at the end rihgt?

#

of the input function

#

that's where I made the mistake right?

surreal bronze May 22, 2021, 8:22 PM

yup that works :))

tho!

if you have it split into more then 2

it wont work

anyone know why im getting this error?

remote echo May 23, 2021, 3:23 AM

#

dusty ore if the input is `a c` print out the list of characters from `a` to `c` more spec...

I am assuming u want all alphabet like if input is a z u want to print a to z.

u can take the input and then list() it so i am assuming user[0] is a and user[1] is c.

for i in range(ord(user[0]) , ord(user[1]) + 1 ):
print(chr(i))

Or if u want list, then instead of printing every char, append it to a list in for loop and then print the list

#

U would need some checks though

#

I.e. ord(user[0]) <= ord(user[1])

wintry hound May 23, 2021, 5:13 AM

wow, just learned that golang initializes its rng with a shared default seed. That seems a little odd to me, given that this language also aims for programming starters?

#

I noticed while looking at the output of a loop that generated some random strings

magic falcon May 23, 2021, 5:15 AM

#

It's pretty common in a lot of languages. Using a seed that you can predict makes initial correctness checks for your algorithm easier, though.

wintry hound May 23, 2021, 5:17 AM

#

sure, I get that part. I just thought that newer languages would initialize the rng with a bit of safety in mind and define a testseed as a constant to verify the correctness.

#

Or, at least, languages that aim for people like me ^^

hello, my question is on auto tracking camera algorithm, so i don't know if i can have a answer on this server but.. i test
so is there a person that know how auto tracking camera algorithm works ? thats for a project of like.. auto turret security system

It's quite easy, just track things that move if you don't care about identifying them. Take a picture of a frame, and a 2nd frame. The pixels that moved is the object that's moving 😁

@stone kayak yes i track human whit tensorflow pretrained neural network, but wen i know where the person is, if i have like 2 FPS how can i track the person correctly like fluently ?

#

there is no like intelligent algorithm whit complexe math ?
all algorithm are dumb like if the detected object are too far on left i turn left to place it on the center and so if i have like 1 FPS and i move at 1° it will move 1° every 1 second ???

that is my problem

Need some help with C if anyone can.
I have an array of structs which contains a name, a value between 5 and 150 (This project is basically a change calculator).

The program opens a file and reads records from it to the struct array, now, when there is a duplicate name, these need to be treated as the same person, so ideally add the change value from the second name instance, to the first name instances record, then delete the second name instance record.

Now, this makes sense, but is there a simpler way to shift the rest of items in the array or is manual looping the only option?

i,e File loads 15 records total to array. name "Lovecraft 50" at [0], loads other arbitrary records, name "Lovecraft 80" at [8], finished loading filling to [14]. Add the value of [8] to [0], delete the remaining information inside of [8]. [0] is now correct, [8] is now empty(NULL?) and >[8] now need to be shifted down one element to not have gaps in the array.

#

and is it fine to leave [14] empty?

Your stepper motor will also have a minimal angular resolution, this is the minimum degree change that can be done in a single step. If you try to do a 'half step', it will end up not working right and you could damage the motor

haughty oracle May 24, 2021, 2:48 PM

#

ok

#

but i don't understand that my motor can have 4096 available position on 360° but he can't do a 1° move

#

i just want the motor to move 1° xD

magic falcon May 24, 2021, 2:49 PM

I just explained that.

haughty oracle May 24, 2021, 2:50 PM

#

ok

#

but what is the solution ? i just can't ?

magic falcon May 24, 2021, 2:51 PM

#

The stepper itself cannot get precisely 1 degree of change. If you need that precision, your options are get a stepper that matches your use-case or else engineer up some kind of gearing system to convert some number of steps to 1 degree

haughty oracle May 24, 2021, 2:51 PM

#

ok

magic falcon May 24, 2021, 2:51 PM

#

How critical is this 1 degree?

#

and why do you need angular distance and not linear distance?

haughty oracle May 24, 2021, 2:53 PM

i don't really know i am trying to do the motor code of my Auto turret system

magic falcon May 24, 2021, 2:54 PM

#

There are micro and half stepping patterns you can use with a stepper; but they can damage the motor if you use an incorrect pattern. Unless you know it won't hurt your stepper (ie, the datasheet tells you what the micro and half step patterns are) don't use them.

haughty oracle May 24, 2021, 2:55 PM

haughty oracle May 24, 2021, 2:55 PM

its like a intelligent security system

#

its like a camera whit personal assistant and his job is to help me and wen i am not home to monitore the home and he needs to turn this camera/head

#

i call him turret but he as no gun x) just tons of sensor camera ect

#

so i am searching a solution to know were the "turret" motor are and tell the motor were to go precisely in 360° angle even if it's not in degree but a kind of degree

#

but i think i will just reaplace the 360 degre 4096 step i think it will do the job

#

thank you Juun ! ^^

mortal flint May 24, 2021, 9:13 PM

#

Just my $0.02, but you should make it look and sound like the portal turret.

#

And in your case, it doesn't sound like you need to be able to position it to a specific degree- use those 4096 steps, which are more precise than a degree.

magic falcon This is sounding unethical.

if it's shooting Nerf it could be fun 😉

#

I'd be careful at the 360 <-> 0 degree boundary though

#

might be better to limit to a 180 degree range

#

or some divisor of 4096 if you want to get degree precision

i meant if youre accessing the values from a dict you have to use keys

dusty ore May 26, 2021, 3:02 PM

#

still

#

#

I see imma look for it

Is that your code?

#

Its better to write and understand it instead of grabbing some random one of the internet and not knowing what your doing

dusty ore May 26, 2021, 3:06 PM

#

it is my code

#

I wrote it my own so it looks a little bit messy

#

:p

#

I mean this is from an experiment question from exercism

#

I copied and pasted the template incl dictionary + empty function to sublime and write my own codes

surreal bronze May 26, 2021, 3:08 PM

#

I'd start with something simpler, like learning how to use and acccess dictionaries before using them in the question

dusty ore May 26, 2021, 3:09 PM

#

I mean, I was about to learn basic thingys but exercism asked me if i'd like to join in a test

#

So yea...

#

It worked

#

basically, it's because i forgot the parenthesis

#

._.

I need some help

#

I failed empty string test case but I did write an if statement checking whether str=='' return if true else: continue

#

But it still fails

magic falcon May 26, 2021, 3:54 PM

#

Reread the error. What you are saying and what the screenshot is saying are different things.

dusty ore May 26, 2021, 3:54 PM

#

I see, but if the string is empty, then that code shouldn't be executed

#

Therefore, error won't happen

magic falcon May 26, 2021, 3:55 PM

#

That's not how syntax checking works. Your code isn't being executed, because it's failing a linting step that comes before execution.

dusty ore May 26, 2021, 3:56 PM

#

uhh...but my codes work fine on my pc

#

So how should i make it work 🤔

mortal flint May 26, 2021, 3:56 PM

magic falcon `%` has a very specific meaning in programming. It does not mean 'percent'. Your...

Spoken like a true TA 🙂 kekw

hidden prawn May 26, 2021, 3:58 PM

#

Im wondering why would you check if a datatype is empty. Don't you have to use the variable instead or am i missing something?

magic falcon May 26, 2021, 3:58 PM

#

dusty ore So how should i make it work 🤔

You are being told what is wrong by that Error output.

vernal vigil May 26, 2021, 3:59 PM

#

am I the only one who cannot see the code..

#

i'll have to download the image

#

smh

dusty ore May 26, 2021, 3:59 PM

#

#

fixed the function cuz the function provided by exercism seems to be kinda weird

#

Now it works (Exactly like in my pc)

#

Yay

#

#

Thanks guys! I wouldn't be able to complete this "very easy for everyone else than me" problem without you

John take it slow

#

cover your basics before going to next topic

magic falcon May 26, 2021, 4:16 PM

#

Agree with Potato. It's more important to understand everything you are working with than to get green tests.

mystic nimbus May 26, 2021, 4:17 PM

#

depends on what stage he is at, as it says it can be submitted for further scrutiny

dusty ore May 26, 2021, 4:20 PM

#

I can say I take this problem as a test to see if my python skill is good enough

I have an idea and i want to make it a program.
I want that if i assign a work for some time after that time that thing automatically saves and closes and reminder of another work pops up in my pc.
can a python program be build for this??

brazen eagle May 27, 2021, 7:00 AM

Like a Pomodoro timer?

unkempt nacelle May 27, 2021, 7:05 AM

yup

surreal bronze May 27, 2021, 7:07 AM

Yes it can

#

Break it down into steps

shit programmer, needs a bit of help

main.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "menu.h"
#include "operations.h"

using namespace std;

int main() {
    Menu menu;
    Operations op;

    menu.display();

    int input = menu.getInput();
    int *iPtr = &input;

    while(*iPtr != 0) {
        menu.display();
        *iPtr = input;
        switch(*iPtr) {
            case 1:
                op.deposit();
                break;
        }
    }
}

operations.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "operations.h"

using namespace std;

Operations::Operations() {}

void Operations::deposit() {
    float amount;
    string conf;

    float *aPtr = &amount;
    string *cPtr = &conf;

    while(*cPtr != "y") {
        cout << "Enter amount to deposit - ";
        cin >> *aPtr;

        cout << "Confirm [y/n] - ";
        cin >> *cPtr;

        if(*cPtr == "y") {
            cout << "Deposit Successful!" << endl;
            return;
        } else if(*cPtr == "n") {
            return;
        } else {
            cout << "Invalid options" << endl;
            return;
        }
    }
    return;
}

This works fine until the while loop in operations.cpp, for some reason it does not exit the while loop nor the function, both return and break does not work

#

C++ 11 is what im using i belive

#

Also am i using the pointers correctly/efficiently?

lilac holly May 27, 2021, 8:50 AM

#

You put a return into a void method, does this even work?

#

And I mean every return there

#

Also the one if Statement with *cPtr == “y” doesn’t make this much sense I think, because this is your break condition

#

Maybe change this

brazen eagle May 27, 2021, 8:59 AM

#

Return in a void function is fine

#

It'll get out of the function instead of breaking the loop though

#

The problem is that you can't compare strings in C++ with ==

#

If you're using c strings, then use strncmp, for c++ strings use compare() on the string itself

lilac holly May 27, 2021, 9:12 AM

#

brazen eagle Return in a void function is fine

Oh ok, just thought it isn’t because in other languages it is like I said

brazen eagle May 27, 2021, 9:24 AM

#

Even in other languages it's used to return early

#

It's considered poor style though

warped axle May 27, 2021, 10:32 AM

ahhh ok thanks

i was having a mental breakdown because of this

solar hull May 27, 2021, 11:52 AM

There’s no operator override for those?

#

Oh, that’d work for c++ strings, but the constants are c strings?

brazen eagle May 27, 2021, 11:53 AM

#

C++ strings should be able to compare against string constants

#

don't remember if you can overload == in C++

dusty ore May 27, 2021, 1:02 PM

may i ask what's wrong in my js code?
