Welcome
Welcome visitor. Feel free to ask questions about ISO/ANSI C/C++ anytime.

Ask questions about C/C++ in this forums that is *not* related to any API or non-standard library. Below are some examples that do NOT belong in this forum:
MFC, Qt, Borland OWL, Microsoft related, Linux/Unix coding, wxWidgeds/wxWindows, the registry, colors on screen, mice, printer ports, usb, OpenGL, DirectX, graphics libraries, MP3 coding, network coding, game programming, midi programming.

To (high)school and university students:
Occasionally teachers let students work with university-specific data-strucures and algorithm libraries. I don't mind if these are covered in this part of the forum as long as the libraries are OS-independent. Also, the source of the libraries should be freely available.

Analisys and Design
I have no problems with questions regarding paradigms, analisys and design, but the code should stay C/C++ related. So no Ruby or other languages. Also no coverage about UML software like Rational Rose, UML-Studio and so forth.

Math, methods, concepts et al
I have no problems with questions regarding mathematical issues or various methods. But expect code to be written in C or C++. No questions regarding Matlab, Maple etcetera though.

Posting code helpfully
Thanks to kyoryu a helpful visitor of this site:
1) Please do post your compiler warnings. Your compiler warnings helps us to locate your problem(s).
2) Strip your code if it is lengthy to the point where it is still compilable and the code still produces the error. This way, the problem can be found much easier at many times!


Posting Code Decently

1). Post code between the code tags (don't leave spaces between the word "code" and the brackets!). E.g.:

[ code ]
//My code here.
[ /code ]

2). Tell if you like help in "C" or "C++".
3). Format your code so it is readable. For example, if every line of code is followed by an empty line, then such a format becomes unreadable very quickly.

Posting Code Decently

Help on school assignments is o.k. but don't expect us to actually do your homework.

Thank you for your time,

Hello all,
For those of you who don't know me, and hasn't been around the Introduction thread, my name is Kenneth Redhead Heide Nielsen, or in short redhead/red, I will be one of the assistants here along side with Valmont, and since I live in Denmark, the timeslot spend here will most likely be the same hours of the day as Valmont.
My main subject will be C, but occasionaly I will turn towards C++ but usualy Valmont handles those questions, while I will handle anything C related.
Since any ANSI/ISO C/C++ code is more likely to be cross platform compliant, I will tend to keep my answers as ANSI/ISO strict as possible.

Asking for help
When asking questions in this forum, it is not polite to ask for a solution to your homework, without showing you've actualy given it a shot. Which means asking questions that appears to be a complete copy of the assignment, is a sure way to bee ignored.
Should you get stuck in your assignment, please provide as much information as you can regarding:

• what you've tried
• what you think the final program should do
• a description of what any required input would look like

A very good way of gaining respect from us here at CodeNewbie, is to show what code you've tried, or some links to the information you've found, that beeing searching this forum for past threads regarding similar issues, or googling for a solution.

Posting habits
When you realise you've found a solution or if your previus post dosn't seem to matter anymore, please don't just delete it, it makes understanding and reading the thread for anyone other than us moderators a hasle, since very importain information shared in the deleted posts will be lost for the average viewer.
Remember anything posted here at CodeNewbie will remain cached in searchengines, and searchers around the world wont understand the info they thought to derive from CodeNewbie.
