hah
the horrible poker code I saw in HS didn't use arrays or parameter passing. everything was stored in global variables.
I probably had as much to do with cluebatting my classmate out of that nonsense as did the teacher. :->

WTF!  What else can I say? 
I expect from your statement that the amount of code, over all, could be cut in half. I wonder what other coding gaffs where made.

Same beauty but with the strings 
<br />
for (int c = 0; c < b.Length; c++)<br />
{<br />
if (b[c].Equals("1"))<br />
d[1] = d[1] + 1;<br />
else<br />
if (b[c].Equals("2"))<br />
d[2] = d[2] + 1;<br />
else<br />
if (b[c].Equals("3"))<br />
d[3] = d[3] + 1;<br />
else<br />
if (b[c].Equals("4"))<br />
d[4] = d[4] + 1;<br />
else<br />
if (b[c].Equals("5"))<br />
d[5] = d[5] + 1;<br />
else<br />
if (b[c].Equals("6"))<br />
d[6] = d[6] + 1;<br />
else<br />
if (b[c].Equals("7"))<br />
d[7] = d[7] + 1;<br />
else<br />
if (b[c].Equals("8"))<br />
d[8] = d[8] + 1;<br />
else<br />
if (b[c].Equals("9"))<br />
d[9] = d[9] + 1;<br />
else<br />
if (b[c].Equals("10"))<br />
d[10] = d[10] + 1;<br />
else<br />
if (b[c].Equals("12"))<br />
d[12] = d[12] + 1;<br />
else<br />
if (b[c].Equals("13"))<br />
d[13] = d[13] + 1;<br />
else<br />
if (b[c].Equals("14"))<br />
d[14] = d[14] + 1;<br />
<br />
}<br />
and the "d" is:
int[] d = new int[15];
As you can see he use indices from 1 to 14 so he hat to set size of array to 15 instead of 14.

Man! If I had the code and the time (which I do not) I would revamp code all over the place. Unrolling loops is an old optimization trick, but you need to know when to do it and when not to. I am not even sure unrolling is even needed today, because the machines today are so fast they make my first computer look like it was standing still.
The new I understand, I never do it, but people sometimes do it to make it easier to match values with indexes.

Cards 1 and 11 are the same, so 11 is skipped, at least something is right

So the underlying design is flawed as well?

Could be depending on the rules of the game. Normally ace is the highest and lowest card, if for some reason an ace could be a 1, or between 10 and jack the implementation would sorta make sense.

the sorta was representing that fact. I didn't immediately see a better way, but assumed a less ugly construct still should exist.

whats so difficult about:
for (int c = 0; c < _myHand.CardCount; c++)<br />
{<br />
e[_myHand.Cards[c]]++;<br />
}
This might not work, depending on how the value of the cards are stored, though, in which case just cast to int

I am unable to understand the gc concept of the mc++, as per the example for managed pointers in mc++ using gc there is no any proper explanation, i am putting the code, if someone is able to explain it, i will be thankful to you.
__gc struct G
{
int i;
};
__value struct V
{
int i;
};
int main()
{
// defaults to V __gc * __nogc * ppV;
V ** ppV;
// defaults to V __gc * __nogc * __nogc * pppV;
V *** pppV;
// defaults to G __gc * __gc * ppG;
G ** ppG;
// defaults to G __gc * __gc * __nogc * pppG;
G *** pppG;
// defaults to G __gc * __gc * __nogc * __nogc * ppppG;
G **** ppppG;
}
my question is : why there are only two _gc's for the garbage collected why not all are garbage collected, or what is the advantage of _gc pointer coming for one time and coming for two times, can anyone explain me?

I don't have an answer for you, but to keep it on-topic, this confusing overloading of the meaning of * was a major flaw in MC++, and it's been fixed in C++/CLI by denoting GC handles with ^ instead.

Method name (only) changed. It shouldn't even have been public in the first place. Even if you disregard the blatant coding guidelines violations, I think this is a shame.
public string getFormattedDate(string date)
{
string concat ="";
if (null != date)
{
int i;
String dateTimeChar = new String(date.ToCharArray());
for(i=0;i<(date.Length-4);i++)
{
concat = concat+ dateTimeChar[i];
}
concat = concat+ ",";
for(i=4;i<(date.Length-2);i++)
{
concat = concat+ dateTimeChar[i];
}
concat = concat+ ",";
for(i=6;i<(date.Length);i++)
{
concat = concat+ dateTimeChar[i];
}
DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse(concat);
concat = dt.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");
}
return concat;
}

Arrgggghhhhh - that's horrible. Let's ignore the fact that the method name is camel cased and hit a particular arrogant nasty. Unless you have a really, really, really good reason (and by that I mean that you can prove to me that you know me much much better than I know myself), don't presume to know how to format a date that I will like. I hate it when people force these cultural settings on me, and I have refused to use some software in the past because it has presented regional variations on me that I don't like because they are downright confusing.
As an example, what date is this?
06/05/07
Is it the 6th May 2007, the 7th May 2006, the 5th of June 2007?
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

It's a very good practice to ensure that any date strings you output to a file that will be consumed by another program have a fixed format. It doesn't much matter what that format is, but there's an ISO standard for yyyyMMdd, so that's what I normally use. (SQL Server is happy to consume that format and do so consistently whatever regional settings are applied).
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, for outputting to a file or other method of "data interchange" use ISO 8601, for output to a person, allow that person's culture to format the date.

I once got burned by a ASP/ access database site that would create utter crap when move from an english development to a german production server. (Or the other way round? I forget).
|
|
|
|

Ick. The obvious solution is
return date.Substring(0,4) + "-" + date.Substring(4,2) + "-" + date.Substring(6,2); Goes nowhere near the risk of DateTime.Parse doing something different in a different locale.

Even ignoring the language, there are too many things wrong. The most important being that the characters are not being gathered based on their value.
while( date[i] == ‘y’ )
Concat += date[i++];
Or something similar.
I have know idea why the new String is even present, other than to waste time and memory.
The given code is just asking for the call to pass the wrong format, so that it can throw an exception.
In general, this code would receive a ‘D’ at best and an ‘F’ in any production code.

I'm guessing using the .ToString([inserted quoted format here]) was too difficult. What a shame.
