1 AnswerProgramming & Design6 years agoHow do I extract/manipulate/load-in files from/to a DLL or EXE?
Hidden away in files like DLL, EXE, CFG, etc. There are files such at bitmaps, text, and I've heard of Word Documents being stored on these.
Quick question, I want to extract these, but I don't want to use a pre-programmed tool. I want to program it myself.
What should I be looking for? Like built-in libraries, etc.
I want to extract them, but I don't know of any proper methods and have trouble finding any answer online. I am not a skid D:
Thanks

1 AnswerProgramming & Design6 years agoWhat are the equations for mAh and Voltage I can get per centimeter of an antenna?

Physics6 years agoWhat is the reason for using bit shifting?
I learned that in order to get the characters out of a BMP image file, I have to use bitshift.
This is weird for me because I don't understand the concept of shifting bytes.
The reason for this is if you have a bit 000001 and you shift it, it becomes 000000. These bytes make up characters. Why would we shift? Is this some kind of compression?
Anybody got a few links explaining this? I had a hard enough time finding examples on how to decode BMPs. Thanks!

I am thinking on the terms of milk, it's body, and mentally.
I don't know much about cows.
Researching this, I have found that the cow will become carnivorous and may get ill.
5 AnswersZoology7 years ago[Java] God and Ideas?
Christian
I was thinking through the Bible. One thing I noted was abstract objects (and interfaces) (Human, God, Tree, Angel), Possible enums (Tree.Oak, Frog.PoisonDart), and your basic class to hold methods and settings (methods like: if(Command.equals("Let there be Trees")){makeTrees();})
All of this led me to think... It will take some time but it is possible to outline everything God made (that we can see and is tangible). On the other hand, implementing actual methods that draw these objects to a 3d world could be possible too, as it is done on SO many games.
What are you inputs, ideas, etc?

1 AnswerOther - Diseases7 years agoJava and C++ Points to Static variables?
Are the pointer systems in C++ and C# just like declaring a static variable in java (with class specific declaration)?
So in short terms, pointers store a static datum in an address. Java stores a datum in an address using static. Are these the same? Cite your source? Thanks a bunch!
Example:
C++
int * example;
int p = &example;
Java
public static int example;
2 AnswersProgramming & Design7 years agoJava Jar Letters?
If you jar some packages, they will turn up decompiled as they should be.
If you do something else your classes are turned in small combos of letters. Such as
AA.CLASS
or

etc.

Thanks!

1 AnswerProgramming & Design7 years agoDefining a Advanced(-ish) Variable via Java?
I've seen Integers set queerly such in programs i've checked out.
I tried searching some reference over it, but I have failed to get the correct terms.
