dev-cpp-users Mailing List for Dev-C++ (Page 759)

Hello,

Does anyone know a way around this problem:

I have written a function that delays for secs amount of seconds:


#include <ctime>

void pause(int secs)
{
 time_t current, end;

 current =3D clock();
 end =3D current + CLOCKS_PER_SEC * sec;

 while(current < end)
  current =3D clock();
}


The problem is when I try to use it as follows:

int main()
{
 int t =3D 10;

 cout << "Count down: ";

 while(t >=3D 0)
 {
  cout << t-- << "  \r";
  pause(1);
 }

 return 0;
}

The program executes but doesn't displa the count down numbers until the =
time is up - then it just displays 10.

The program works fine though if I use printf() instead of cout! Why is =
this - I want it to work with cout! Is is something to do with buffers?

Thanx in advance.

Chris.

FWIW Spanish speakers have an idiom "es chino", it's Chinese, rather than 
the English speaker's choice of "It's Greek".

I did not receive it as an insult anyway. Also i consider chinese, and the

Chinese have 380 letters or something. :)

Actually, the expression "It's Greek to me" refers to the fact that the
Greek alphabet is unreadable to the poor souls who were brought up with the
Latin alphabet.  Basically, it means that the subject matter is so
technical, abstruse or esoteric that the reader cannot understand it, and
so it might just as well be written in Greek for all the good it does him
or her.  Yes, it probably is an American expression, but no, I don't think
any ethnic slur is intended by it.

Hello,
    Yes you  are right, I checked my book again, \a and \b are very close
together, it was my  mistake. I am using the book Object-Oriented
Programming in C++ Second Edition,  it's quite old (Copyright 1995) I got
it for $9 at a used bookstore : )
I  love those kind! 8-)

I pick up just about everything I find.  I  figure, some are good, some are
definitely not; however, they all look at things  from different
perspectives, and sometimes something that's greek in one book is  clear as
day in another.  (Even if some of those books start to look a  little long
in the tooth!)

Now i am a greek, and i do not  understand the meaning of that expression,
but i guess it is some american  smart-ass-i-know-all expression. :)



Recently (on another list) a war started over the value of books (ie. the
21 Days compared to college / university texts).  I agree that some of the
21 Day/Dummies/Idiot's guides are surface material, I find them helpful
when I  want to check out a topic.  I then start to delve a little deeper,
and then  I look for resources online (about language style, the ins and
outs of a  language, etc.).

Speaking of which, does anybody have any good links to  C++ related
material?  Particularly good object-oriented source...   I've poked around,
but most of what I find seems to relate to DOS level C  graphics/demo
programming.

Except of links i suggest Bjarne  Stroustrup's "The C++ Programming
Language" - Special Edition, that's what i am  reading currently. This,
assuming you have already read some good introductory  book in C++ (e.g.
"Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days" by Jesse Liberty, Sams  Publishing).

My background is rather VB, and sources that I've found nice are things
like  www.planetsourcecode.com
(They've got some stuff for other languages, but  nothing "meaty" ... for
an example, check out the Delphi section!)

I agree - I have a tonne of books for operating systems and language 
combinations that I'll never use in my lifetime. However, the 
concepts and techniques used in them are always helpful (usually, in 
most hard-core language books, there will be always functions for 
basic encryption, etc).

That is what I do. From various people (relatives, fellow students) I 
have a number of those 21 days books. Personally, sliding into C/C++ 
was a breeze using an e-copy of C++ in 21 days. (I had a mainly Java, 
BASIC and Pascal background.)

I believe that one should get one of those books if one is a relative 
newbie to that area. Going directly to online resources is okay for 
some, but you end up getting swamped with information and documents 
that you don't need and potentially will never use.

Umm... you could try www.objectcentral.com and perhaps 
www.cprogramming.com

www.vitaminc.com ? I can't remember the address of that one. 
Unfortunately, the university rendered all bookmarks redundant and 
therefore I can no longer access the hoard of links that I once had.

I'll be sure to try it.

You find that a lot... and I hate sites which have trillions of 
links, and only a handful which actually work. If someone is going to 
put effort into a site, they should at least attempt to check all 
sites within a suitable period (e.g. once a month).

Places like www.progsharehouse.com (? - Sorry if the link is dead) 
are very much like that, unfortunately.

provided and which has worked for me....

quoted from Spiderman's response to my question:

    Include stdlib.h then at the end of your program write: =
system("pause"); here is an example:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void main()
{
    cout<<"Hello world!\n";
    system("pause");
}

You wouldn't believe the resources you can find in old bookstores. I

Editor: Yes. I do that now.
Class Generation: Yep.
Midi file: Only if you executed it via a multimedia program. I don't 
believe you could directly access the file.

I believe some of that is implemented. If anyone wants to see what 
Matthew is talking about, download Arachnophilia from 
www.arachnoid.com

It is the editor I use for HTML, but it can also be used as a 
programming editor, and it has templates and stuff for CGI, Java, etc.

Hi !

yes it has ;-)

Mark,

At the end of the program under main, before return 0;, put in =
getchar().  That'll require an input from the keyboard before any other =
action will be taken, and in this case, shutting down the program.

(Make sure to include iostream.h and stdlib.h)

  Hi,
  I have just started using devcpp4 and have successfully written some =

  Thanks.

Just a question in a similar vein.

Does Dev-C++ 4.0 (I'm using 3.95) have customizable tools?  For example, if
I wanted to set up an external editor, a class generation tool, or a direct
link to my favourite MIDI file, could I?

It doesn't have to be integrated (ie. create something externally and import
directly -- I can load things from a file! 8-), but it would be nice to
augment Dev-C++ (though it's a pretty slick piece of software as far as I'm
concerned!)

Of course, maybe this has all been addressed with v4.0.  I'm still a little
unclear as to what's been included and what's not yet / never will be 8-).

Hoping not to start a wishlist discussion...

Oh, since I've seen you floating around the list recently, Great Work Colin!

Hello,
      In my C++ book it says that \b will produce a system beep through =
the internal speakers, not erase characters.

I have two books, both copyrighted 1998 and covering ANSI/ISO C++.  They =
both state that \a is for alarm (the bell/beep), and that \b is indeed a =
backspace character.

However, as has already been mentioned, the backspace is usually not =
destructive.  It just moves the cursor back one space.  To delete a =
character you would have to follow the rules for your text interface (I =
believe CTRL+H will do... better still, use the hex code for "Delete" -- =
not backspace).

It could also be that different compilers handle it differently; =
however, the texts I have mentioned cover ANSI/ISO standards which seem =
to fall in line with everything I've read regarding C/C++.  (You could =
also check your man pages if you're a Unix type.)

The books, for those who are interested are:

1. C++ How to Program (2e) by Deitel and Deitel (published by =
Prentice-Hall... they have a website too... www.deitel.com)

2. Ivor Horton's Beginning C++ (The complete language - ANSI/ISO =
Compliant edition) by Wrox Press.  (He's also got a book for MSVC.)

Hope that's helpful.

Oh no for what I'm doing it's perfect! Many thanks to
the author, but I was curious because of that friend.
:o) Thanks a lot!

No it isn't. It does not feature Rapid Application Development 
features (e.g. form editors and stuff) as these are incredibly 
complex.

If you want a drag and drop type environment, Dev-C++ is not for you.
