Anyone really good at C++?

[chrisoh]

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone here was good at C++ enough to be able to do this:
http://www.rd.cs.ttu.edu/class/cs1412/Pgms/Palindromes.htm or even help me, I would be willing to compensate you guys

 

[HappyScrappy]

uh... what part are you having a problem with?

do you not know how to do the palindrome? do you not know how to read in from a file and/or how to write out? do you know how to take comman line arguments?

which part are you stumped on?
or is this more of a "I'd like to pass, but I'm not all that interested in learning"

crikey, i'm going to be taking some visual c++ class in like 2 years..it's too confusing to look at that and try to understand that at the moment

 

[HappyScrappy]

I'll gladly help - this would be retarded easy in perl - so the main issue is just figuring out how to do the equiv in C++

is this MS VC++? on a sun system? on linux with gcc?

 

[jeremys]

all i know about what i will be doing is its at high school, of course, and the classes are 'visual basic'. they go visual basic, advanced visual basic, visual basic c++, then advanced visual c++. supposedly if a person finishes the last one, they will have 'tools to be immediately employable in the programming field'. does this mean i dont have to go to a tech school or anything? lol

 

[Puc]

lol... people graduate high school with that kind of understanding?

i don't see it happening... unless people are smarter now than when i was in high school. We took various BASIC classes, and never did much beyond simple calculation and rudimentary ui...

 

[jeremys]

thats what this little course booklet says...lol

but last year my math teacher said he remembered the stuff he was teaching us from college. he's not too old either, probably 50

I had Borland C++ in high school - but it was an advanced class that I did via a fiber optic link to RIT. our in class teacher was clueless and was only there to keep us from stealing the computers, and the prof over the link didn't care and was just doing it to showcase the new technology (the fiber optic link).

I guess ChrisOh doesn't care that much about this tonight - perhaps tomorrow.

 

[scruples]

i will write the solution for $6.98

but it will be written in C

that is what my school taught me

i learned to do minimum spanning tree algorithm PRIM's algorithm it was total bullshit

read in from stdin, process words separated w/space w/a for loop and an array for comparison and you need a red-black tree too

Guess Warik's not online tonight to proclaim himself as the king of C++

I don't mind helping someone with his homework, but I'm not going to do it for somebody.

Besides, it's my birthday. =)

Happy birthday warik haha, sorry guys I took a long ass saturday nap after texas lost by 3 points in overtime to NC State after making a 28 point comback in the second half. Oh well, I am confused with how to read in and out of a file, I think it has something to do with _infile. The searching algorithm is also confusing the heck out of me and my classmates. How can anyone be good at this kinda stuff!?

If it was procedural and not OOP, it wouldn't be so confusing but they skipped me and put me directly into Compuer Principles II without taking the first one so I have no clue on what I'm already "supposed" to know... im not making excuses though!

 

[jeremys]

bump for ya

happy b-day warik

 

[chrisoh]

bump for whoever cares you guys can IM me at digitlhail also.

do the damn problem -- you'll learn something. just get some paper and think that you are the computer, then ask how do you solve it. then make a program that represents that thought process. unless you don't understand inheritence or other OO concepts, it's trivial. otherwise, i'd get out the textbook and read. Sorry to sound like a dick, but I'm a TA and hate when students ask me to do their homework. if you don't learn anything, you'll never become a good employee (i'm guessing you're doing this just to get a high-paying job). and bad employees bring down the rest of the team and then get shitcanned.

I'm kinda understanding it more, but this is a wierd situation where I'm taking a class which is not geared towards my major, once this semester is over, i'll never see c++ again in my life. I'm doing the code actually, it's making some sense now but I could still use help.
