(For the reference, I'm using gcc on Ubuntu for this question)

So suppose I have something similar to the following:

char input[20];

while (scanf("%s", input)){

if (input == "something")

printf("HELLO WORLD\n");

else if (input == "blar")

printf("TO HELL WITH THE WORLD\n");

else

printf("OH NO\n");

}

Now, when I attempt to run it and give it "something", it should theoretically display "HELLO WORLD" (and similarly with the other inputs).

However, I'm noticing that no matter what input I'm giving, I always get the default case's behavior.

As I'm primarily a C++ programmer, I may be missing some stupid details on working with string in C. Regardless, I was wondering if anyone could give me a hand with this, as this really shouldn't be stumping me.

So I was doing a math problem, and managed to break it down to the following inequality:

n/8 < log(base2) n

Unfortunately, as it's been a number of years since high school, I've completely forgotten how to solve for these kinds of inequality.

If anyone is willing to give me a hand with this, I'd greatly appreciate it

So here's my situation:

a friend has recently asked me to figure out "what's wrong" with his desktop computer, as it seemed to not be able to boot up properly.

Upon inspection, I found this to be true. Specifically, after the startup logo finished its animation, a BSOD would follow, and the computer would restart (rinse, repeat).

After Googling the BSOD error msg (something to do with nvlddmkm.sys), I found that the error seemed to lie with the graphics card.

I successfully booted into Safe Mode, and uninstalled the drivers for the graphics card and rebooted.

Success!

However, after logging into windows, the (damned) Windows Update decided it would reinstall the drivers for me. Soon after, I was back at the BSOD.

Here's my question:

Is it possible that the Graphics card is fried based on these symptoms alone?

I've come to this conclusion because my 'client' said that the computer was working great until it abruptly one day came into this state... what I drew from this was that the drivers weren't likely to have been updated in the short time before the incident occurred.

Or who knows, maybe I'm overthinking this and the drivers that Windows automatically downloaded for me are just screwed up.

Your opinion on this matter?

(The graphics card itself in question was an NVIDIA Geforce 7200 GS)

Here's the scenario:

I'm walking around a mall, with semi-formal wear, and a couple of resumes on my person.

What's this? A help wanted sign? This is my chance to stop leeching off my parents!

Anyway, this is where I'm having issues... how do I proceed from this?

Walk up to the counter and go "Hi, I saw the 'Help Wanted' sign outside and wanted to apply"?

I dunno.. how should one go about in this situation?

First off, I'm just going to say that I did attempt to do 'research' on this issue, and was completely and utterly confused by the majority of the results I found via google.

Anyway,

what I wish to do is to intercept a WM_CLOSE message and make the console window do something else.

Unfortunately, even after looking this stuff up on Google, I'm still quite unaware on how this can be done.

If anyone could give me any pointers, that would be great

(Writing this in regular C++.. not in MFC or anything like that)

For example, if I had the vectors

v1 = (1, 1, 1)

v2 = (1, 1, 0)

v3 = (1, 0, 0)

v4 = (3, 2, 0)

How would I prove that they span R^3?

Any help is appreciated

Thanks in advance

As a spherical raindrop evaporates, its volume changes at a rate proportional to its surface area A.

a) If the constant of proportionality is K, find the rate of change of the radius r when r = 4

b) Show that the rate of change of the radius is always constant

c) Does part b mean that the rate of change of volume is always constant? Why or why not?

I honestly have no clue what to do... if anyone could help me, that would be greatly appreciated

For the teachers:

Would you allow a smartpen that lets a student essentially record down all audio in a class with minimal effort if it allowed their grades to improve? This means that a student could come into class with their pen, set it on record, and drift off.

For the students:

Would you use such a pen? Even if it were to dull your 'sense' of paying attention in class?

I'm seriously stumped...if anyone could spare a couple of minutes and explain how to this question to me, I'd appreciate it a lot:

"A ferris wheel 50 feet in diameter makes 2 revolutions per minute. Assume that the wheel is tangent to the ground and let 'P' be the point of tangency. At what rate is the distance between 'P' and a rider changing, when she is 25 feet above the ground and going up?"

Thanks in advance

yea..

thanks in advance

I've worked at the PNE @ playland for the past 2 years... and now my parents want me to stop working there...

as I currently live under their roof, i'd have to oblige... however, I can't help but feel this is fairly unfair... now I can't even find a part time job

they say that the reason I can't work there is b/c it's too far away (i live in surrey... playland is in vancouver... it takes me an hour by public transit)...

Everytime I try to install a OS... (be that Linux, XP, Vista, 7), I always end up getting a blue screen of death... can anyone help me?

additional info: my laptop doesn't start up properly... at the most, it can boot up from CD's and DVD's...

Laptop: Compaq Presario CQ45-101TX

Assume Canada were to go to war with another country... would we be using our own guns? or would such weapons be supplied by other countries?

Are guys and girls' brains actually 'made' so that they think differently, or do most people just base themselves off the stereotype of their sex?

does anyone out there have an idea for a game made with visual basic . net? i need to make a game for my programming class using that langauage and i can't come up with anything

thanks in advance

would Road of Major's music be considered jrock or jpop? cuz i think their music is both jrock and jpop...

ur opinion?

Is there a way to use a keyhit or keydown command for a game or something? eg. keyhit(203) <- that kind of thing

A friend of mine might be interested in coming to Canada from Taiwan... but I have no idea on how to get him to apply a canadian passport and stuff... can someone give me some info on this?

Does anyone know a good site that can teach me good magic tricks meant for large audiences? (Ex on stage and stuff)
