How's It Looking?

[cchalogamer]

Crap reading all that reminds me i ahve some java to program for class monday....humm 8:09 now, Ply DC for 2hrs take shower go to bed, not liekly that ill be programming. Crap. Oh well yeah that code has REALLY emerged since the start lol. once i get mre into learning java i think ill start movign into some other language aswell. idk why i replyed to this....humm ok mabey i need sleep now....

[markiemrboo]

lol, cool huh? Evolution of code... watch out! There'll be little baby cpu burners running about the place soon.

[Kamikaze_Badger]

Lol, yea, but some arse beat me to it with CPU Burn-in... but I'm going to be porting this over to Assembly later. THEN it will interact directly with the CPU.

 

 

 

EDIT: You mean they didn't have strings for C? Wow...

 

Cplusplus.com dosn't have much on the actual string variable, just setting up a char array... hmmm... WE'RE LIVING A CONSPIRACY!

[markiemrboo]

lol no, you work with arrays of characters. Did you not see my roughed up C version of your thing I posted?

[Kamikaze_Badger]

Lol, I saw it, I just thought that using arrays was a personal prefernce of yours. Besides, can't arrays only hold like 20 some characters and the \0?

[markiemrboo]

lol arrays can hold .. whatever. malloc(sizeof(char) * 10000) would make space for 10000 characters. Chances are this 'string' thing is just a sort of... wrapper around an array of characters.

 

It's not really a personal preference. C has no 'string's

[Kamikaze_Badger]

Lol markie. Well, onto my next bug:

 

 

After fixing the logic a bit(yea, it should of being != instead of ==), I've got more problems. It keeps on printing one string... or char array, if that makes you happy, saying some useless letters and numbers. Know what it could be?

[markiemrboo]

Example output of what it's printing? Dunno what you mean?

 

Oh, wait, do you mean

 

"We're at: 4e-38 right now."?

 

That would be because you're not adding z to itself + the result of multiplying the two little numbers.

 

z = dblTrillFunc ( .02 , .02 );

 

Each time z is just being assigned .02 * .02. Whereas:

 

z = z + dblTrillFunc ( .02 , .02 );

 

Each time z is being assigned z + .02 * .02. Geddit?

 

EDIT:

Below has the 1 second(ish) pause between printing if you want to look at it. A few little cleanups that you should probably get into the habit of doing yourself too (like the globals variables moved).
