Start with 1!. 
With standard C, using an (or two three...  ) array of (circa) 40000 unsigned chars you may roll you own-hand-crafted computation, anyway I doubt the output will be produced in 1 ms...

Can you calculate factorials on paper? Until you get that much squared away, trying to write code is just going to get in your way.

0- do you know what a factorial is ?
0.5- did you google/bing about that ?
1- do you know how to calculate factorial on paper ?
2- can you translate that into code ?
2.5- did you even try something ?
anyway, don't use recursion.

Unfortunately I think that in this specific case, just translating the factorial logic into code simply won't work. If we use the datatypes that are available to us, and assuming that we use a 64 bit unsigned integer, the largest number that it can hold would be barely sufficient to hold the value of 20 factorial. For holding the resultant value of the computation of 40 factorial, there are no datatypes offered by the tools and languages used usually (it would be larger than what an 128 bit integer can hold!)
And the OP wants to find the factorial of not 40, but the factorial of *cough* 10000. The way I know of is to use arbitrary precision arithmetic and the OP didn't know it. He just wanted to know how to get started with it.
However, I do agree with you that he could have done a bit of Googling around.

well, if the OP cannot even code a simple factorial for small numbers, then defining it for large numbers is secondary.

That's what I inferred from his post, too.

It sounds that MFC auto swiches unicode/ansi lib and dll for main unicode/ansi exe (not sure).
My question:
Is it OK if main exe is unicode but user dll is ansi format?
Should I change user dll to unicode also?
|
|
|
|
|
If you are not passing strings to/from the dll, then there's no reason to change. If you are passing strings, then you must either always convert strings, or change dll to compile with UNICODE.
In general, changing dll to match exe is the better approach. Just add a "Unicode" project in the IDE, so you can choose which to build. Your dll should be named appropriately - e.g., MYDLLA.DLL, MYDLLU.DLL - for the Ansi and Unicode versions.

In MFC, unicode project is with option (1)_UNICODE and (2)wWinMainCRTStartup.
setting (1) can be used for win32, but (2) can't, because it is for MFC.
If without (2), win32 project is not real unicode - test by ansi string in function MessageBox(0,"ppppp","nnnn",MB_OK); and no compile errors.
What is similar setting of (2)wWinMainCRTStartup for win32 project?
|
|
|
|
|
From MSDN:
Visual C++ supports defining a wmain function
and passing wide-character arguments to your Unicode
application. You declare formal parameters to wmain, using
a format similar to main. You can then pass wide-character
arguments and, optionally, a wide-character environment
pointer to the program. The argv and envp parameters to
wmain are of type wchar_t*. For example:
wmain( int argc, wchar_t *argv[ ], wchar_t *envp[ ] )
|
|
|
|
|
But how to change it from project settings as in MFC?
manually change main to wmain, WinMain to WWinMain, DllMain to WDllMain?

exe/dll file size alignment is 512 bytes with option /OPT:NOWIN98.
Is 512 bytes minimum size alignment for exe/dll?
I hope change it to smaller, how to do it?
|
|
|
|
|
16 is the minimum size, but IIRC making it smaller than 512 can cause problems. (I also vaguely recall trying 16 on a project and running into a linking issue.)
|
|
|
|
|
Hi Joe, thanks.
I'd like to do a test, could you provide info for how to change the align size?
What does IIRC mean?
|
|
|
|
|
IIRC - If I remember correctly
To change the alignment use the linker option /ALIGN:xxx

Dear .
Here I have a HTML web page file,such as "MyWeb.html".
Now I read it into CString object,and use to Find some chinese characters.For example:
CString str="";
CStdioFile file;
CString strLine="";
if(!file.Open("MyWeb.html",CFile::modeRead | CFile::typeText,NULL))
{
CString strTemp;
strTemp.Format("Open file error:%d",GetLastError());
MessageBox(strTemp);
return;
}
while(file.ReadString(strLine)){
str = str + strLine;
}
MessageBox(str);
if(str.Find("some chinese characters.")>=1){
MessageBox("the characters is in the file.");
}
file.Close();
My operate system is Chinese Simplified,but this web page is utf-8.when use MessageBox to display all Cstring characters,the english characters display correctly ,but the chinese isn't,is all garbled.
Now what can I do ?
thanks !
Best Reguards !

did you set your project setting as _UNICODE?

i wanted to do an asignmnt which are look like this!
pictures:
http://lookpic.com/i/974/bowPXhWd.jpeg
from that pictures...the box 1 and 2...what should i use to make that?? edit control or richedit or static box or else??
the box 1 is for the data text...and the box two are for the display of the data 2...like animation>typewritter...
program file:
http://www.mediafire.com/?ymdzm2tjmdn
for your infomation..the box 1 are the text data...that the box 2 are display...
this are my first try...i did not know how to add function to the box...
http://lookpic.com/i/310/qXtrzfLG.jpeg
please lent me some idea..
for your information, i'm new with VS C++
Thanks!

Take a look here[^] at some of the tutorials on The Code Project; they should offer lots of ideas.

Hi,
I had some code that I was using on a machine with a Low resolution I populated some data in a Rich Edit control
and aligned up things with GetTextExtent
Now when I ported the code to a machine with a higher resolution the text doesn't align properly
Thought GetTextExtent takes things like that into consideration
The one other difference is that the higher resolution machine runs Vista
Do I have to use GetDeviceCaps ???
thankx
|
|
|
|
|
GetTextExtent is used to get the width and height of a string.
But how and what do you mean by aligning it?
You will need to post the relevant code.
