Note that priority of ++ operation is higher than *.If you have y= ++x*x++ it should be 4.
I would recommend you not to use such features because it makes code very hard to understand and modify.
Keep it simple and you will avoid getting in troubles.

I agree.
BTW: the exact order of the expression evaluation and the side-effects has been undefined in many languages for a long time. However IMO a compiler should issue a warning whenever you rely on assumptions, i.e. undefined results.

Hello all
this is my maze. when the worm reach to wall it passes the wall and sometime it stops.
#include <stdio.h>

Here are a few ideas for you to make life easier in the future:
1. Don't use global variables when you don't have to. In your case, wall might be acceptable, but dir should not be global.
2. Don't confuse others by writing wall[40][50] and only initialize 15/26.
3. If wall is global, add globals for the wall bounds as well. You don't want to use hard coded values (like 15 and 26) anywhere else but very close to you wall definition. (you can't trust sizeof() operator either the way you have done it)
4. Be consistent in your naming. Don't use indexes a and b in one place, and i and j in another for the same thing. x and y would do just fine.
5. Do not use labels and goto where a simple loop will be enough. Your code will be hard to follow and maintain, even if it's correct. If you need a label, and it will be a long time before you do, give it a meaningful name.
6. Let arrow_keys return its value instead of changing a global variable. It's defined to return an int, but never does. So is also create_wall() by the way.
7. Use constant identifiers instead of hard coded numbers. An enum type is well suited for your direction variable. Again, think of naming.
8. printf("%c", ...)? Have a look at putc().
9. Indentation looks a bit random, and so does placement of curly brackets. Adopt a consistent style.
That said, finding these kinds of bugs is an easy job if you step through the code in a debugger, inspecting indexes into your wall matrix.
But clean up your code first.

Hello all
I am working on maze in turbo c(command prompt not windows). I write 90% of it.
but there are 2 problems I do any work can't solve it.
1- When worm(** is my worm) reach a wall it don't stop. it can pass the wall?
2- the worm make longer but it should be ** in any time?
#include <stdio.h>

You're not erasing where the "worm" is when you draw the new one on the screen and you're not testing where the new worm head is and ending the game (if that's the rule) when the worms head hits a wall. To get round these problems:
- You can deal with the extra drawing by overwriting the worm's current position with spaces after you poll the keyboard but before you change the position of the worm.
- When you change the worm's position do a check to see if the new position overwrites a 1 in your maze. If it does, end the game.
Cheers,
Ash

Hello Ash;
I wrote these codes you say me. but it doesn't work correctly. It stop in another position that there is no wall and sometime it pass a wall and stop on the next one.
These code are right, but I can't write them in its own place.
Please help me by writing codes if it is possible for you.

Hi,
i'm using WMI to get some Parameters of the local Computer.
Here is a Sample Code Snippet:
<code>
pEnumerator = NULL;
hres = pSvc
->ExecQuery(
bstr_t("WQL"),
bstr_t("SELECT * FROM Win32_BIOS"),
WBEM_FLAG_FORWARD_ONLY | WBEM_FLAG_RETURN_IMMEDIATELY,
NULL,
&pEnumerator);
*pclsObj;
uReturn = 0;
while (pEnumerator)
{
HRESULT hr = pEnumerator->Next(WBEM_INFINITE, 1,
&pclsObj, &uReturn);
if(0 == uReturn)
{
break;
}
VARIANT vtprop;
hr = pclsObj->Get(L"SerialNumber", 0, &vtprop, 0, 0);
wcout << vtprop.bstrVal << endl;
VariantClear(&vtprop);
pclsObj->Release();
}
</code>
This works very well.
How must i change this, to show the IP-Adressses of the Computer? Only with Changing to "Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration" and "IPAddress" instead of "SerialNumber" doesn't works.
I think, because IPAdress is an Array in WMI?

Go over to Microsoft and download: WMI CIM Studio. With it you can search the entire WMI on your local machine.
But, and I'm trying to remember, I think the IP address is written to the Registry when you connect to a Wireless network. I'd have to look it up. Get back tp you.

Sorry but this is not the solution for my Problem. I need help with my C++-Code above. That's why i have asked in this forum and not anywhere else 
|

Hi,
it is a bit more complex than you seem to expect. You need Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration. It will return several rows, some have IPEnabled set to true; those should correspond to physical network adapters, which each can have one or more IP addresses; these are returned as a string array through IPAddress.
A little Google action should turn up sample code in the language of your choice.

I believe that using WMI is the easier but not the best option to work with IP addresses.You have entire IP helper API right here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366071(VS.85).aspx[^] which contains set of functions for IP management.For example GetIpAddrTable function will help you to examine IP-v4 mapping table.

Hey folks!
I was just wondering, which of these would be faster:
RECT R1, R2;
POINT Offset;
...
R1 = R2;
R1.left += Offset.x;
R1.right += Offset.x;
R1.top += Offset.y;
R1.bottom += Offset.y;
or
RECT R1, R2;
POINT Offset;
...
R1.left = R2.left + Offset.x;
R1.right = R2.right + Offset.x;
R1.top = R2.top + Offset.y;
R1.bottom = R2.bottom + Offset.y;
As a "sub question of this", would this:
R1.left += Offset.x;
R1.right += Offset.x;
R1.top += Offset.y;
R1.bottom += Offset.y;
be faster than this:
R1.left += Offset.x;
R1.top += Offset.y;
R1.right += Offset.x;
R1.bottom += Offset.y;
? I mean, in the first version when the first addition is done Offset.x is already loaded into one of the registers so the second addition needs less memory access, while in the second version, it would need to retrieve Offset.y to do the addition, then retrieve Offset.x again and then Offset.y again. In the first version it has to retrieve both Offset.x and Offset.y only once during the 4 additions, so that's half the memory access from Offset's point of view. Right? If so, I also wonder if the compiler is smart enough to change the order of these to produce a more speed optimized code (i personally highly doubt this).
Thanks for any sharing of thoughts.

The only way to find out is to write some tests, compile and run them on your system. Arguing thoretically about what's faster is fairly pointless.

Hey, in case you care, i wrote a little tester that uses the high performance counter to check how much it takes to do the given equations 100million times, here are the resuls, 1a being the first method, 1b being the first method with the different order and 2 being the second method:
<1a> 0.698949 sec
<1b> 0.750401 sec
<2 > 0.527537 sec
----------
<1a> 0.711031 sec
<1b> 0.701738 sec
<2 > 0.508943 sec
----------
<1a> 0.699821 sec
<1b> 0.710665 sec
<2 > 0.514772 sec
----------
<1a> 0.695679 sec
<1b> 0.693272 sec
<2 > 0.510279 sec
----------
<1a> 0.697279 sec
<1b> 0.696093 sec
<2 > 0.569204 sec
Seems like method 2 indeed wins, changing the order doesn't seem to make much of a difference (diff. between 1a and 1b).
[Edit] Tests were done with a no-optimization debug build.

That's interesting 'cause on three compilers (VC++2010, Digital Mars latest and gcc 4.1) I got pretty much the same execution times for all three cases (the variation between runs was of the same order as the variation between methods). VC++ and Digital Mars went a bit bonkers and optimised the entire calculation away until I did some fiddling to make sure that the results were referenced by something else.
Cheers,
Ash

I used a debug build to avoid optimisations, and the compiler comes from VS2003 (i know, i know, it's old...)

Doesn't switching the optimiser off defeat the idea of having an optimising compiler?
And I wouldn't worry about using VC++ 2003. It's under 10 years old and actually supports a reasonable amount of the C++ 98 standard unlike all the numpties who painted themselves into a corner using VC++ 6 and now can't move off it because they were programming to MS's standard.

Ash
