GeneralWhy I often use short variable names Pin
Friday, April 19, 2013 7:06 AM by CPallini
Because I found code written this way somehow more readable, e.g.
I find:
for (i=0; i<N; ++i)
  for (j=0; j<N; ++j)
    vr[i]  = r[i][j] * v[j];
 
more readable than
for (row=0; row<ITEMS; ++row)
  for (column=0; column<ITEMS; ++column)
    rotated_vector[row]  = rotation_matrix[row][column] * vector[column];
 

(I know that's just personal taste).
Veni, vidi, vici.

 
GeneralWhy I sometimes do not use scoped for index Pin
Friday, April 19, 2013 6:56 AM by CPallini
Because I need it outside the loop, e.g.:
 
  //..
  for (i=0; i<n; ++i)
  {
    if ( a[i] == aimed_value)
      break;
  }
  if (i == n) 
  {
    // value not found 
  }
  //..
Veni, vidi, vici.

GeneralCP's Memorable Quotes - Year 2009 - Current Quarter [ Updated 21 Jun 2009 - Stephen Hewitt] Pin
Wednesday, April 1, 2009 2:34 AM by CPallini


Here's a list of memorable quotes from Code Project members, indisputably choosen by me Roll eyes | :rolleyes: .
Please feel free to signal new quotes.



Year 2009 - Current Quarter

  • Actually, I have ten monkeys (me not included) to assist me search MSDN. Because, I only have paper-printed version. They're like FASSTTT... You know? [^]
    --Rajesh R Subramanian
  •  
  • Yes there is a way. Now can you explain what your sentence means? [^]
    --led mike
  •  
  • Nobody, and I mean nobody, is going to do urgent homework requests for you. That defeats the purpose of the homework you should be doing on your own so that you can learn.
     
    It's unfortunate and inconvenient, I know, but education is all about learning. But that's just one of those annoying aspects of life. [^]
    --73Zeppelin
  •  
  • I'm not against managed code, but I don't like the idea of mixing up managed code with good old native C++. It's like eating garlic with ice cream. [^]
    --Rajesh R Subramanian
  •  
  • p_1960 wrote: Hi,
    May i know the difference b/w ondraw() and onpaint()....
    You mean other than what the documentation provides? [^]
    --David Crow
  •  
  • Somehow, the idea of mixing separate binaries, some with and some without debug information doesn't look strikingly impressive. [^]
    --Rajesh R Subramanian
  •  
  • You asked three times in the C# forum, did you want C# or VB code ? Why do you even want to do this ? [^]
    --Christian Graus
  •  
  • Is this supposed to do something? [^]
    --David Crow
  •  
  • It means you've called GetQuotQuntityItem with no parameters, and there isn't a version of this method that has no parameters. You need to specify the parameters it's expecting because Object Orientation isn't psychic coding. [^]
    --Pete O'Hanlon
  •  
  • You think? Tea would obviously be a C++ implementation, none of this mamby-pamby-hold-my-hand-cause-I'm-a-little-girl languages [^]
    --Jim Crafton
  •  
  • Looks like an assignment and no-one is interested in doing your assignments.Not even yourself. [^]
    --_AnShUmAn_
  •  
  • What a relief to know there isn't a problem with LockWorkStation(). THANKS! Thumbs Up | :thumbsup: [^]
    --led mike
     
  • *SLAP*
     
    YOU'RE FIRED! [^]
    --_The_Boss_

  • Start off by taking your medication, put on your glasses and then read what you have written [^]
    --williamnw
  •  
  • I have seen some companies label such products "Community Version", aka discarded dogfood. [^]
    --Hans Dietrich
  •  
  • Re: Top Ten Web Brands
    Facebook: 6.2x10^9 minutes.
    OMG | :OMG:
     
    That's a lot of time spent pretending to have friends.
    --Ravel H. Joyce
  •  
  • Probably, but you'll need to post your code snippets here (i.e., only relevant code), rather than require someone to download your whole project from some other site. Some of us have soap operas to watch and Bonbons to eat so time is important. [^]
    --David Crow
  •  
  • ghost90Tom wrote: New Person thanks!!
    My English not well, please take care of.
    thanks you!!!!!!
    I'll take care of that and you're free to go now. THANKS. Thumbs Up | :thumbsup: [^]
    --Rajesh R Subramanian
  •  
  • It causes me physical harm to agree with you, but, I agree. [^]
    --Christian Graus
  •  
  • If only somebody somewhere would invent a technology that allowed you to search[^] over billions of pages of indexed content based on keywords. Why, if they could do that, they'd be rich - they might actually be worth 3 or 4 dollars.
     
    If only... Sigh. [^]
    --Pete O'Hanlon
  •  
  • This is one rare case where I'm going to encourage cross-posting. You may kindly cross-post your code at the coding horror forum too. [^]
    --Rajesh R Subramanian
  •  
  • I turn off these warnings. Microsoft is not in a position to declare standard C++ functions deprecated. [^]
    --Stephen Hewitt

  •  
Smile | :)

Thursday, January 15, 2009 2:27 AM by CPallini


Here's a list of memorable quotes from Code Project members, indisputably choosen by me Roll eyes | :rolleyes: .
Please feel free to signal new quotes.



Year 2009 - First Quarter

  • I certainly have no clue about your problem... And as I am the bestest ever expert at C++, noone else will.
    -- Iain Clarke aka Iain, The Masterful Visionary Potentate
  •  
  • What is this? Could it be a brief search resulting in 3.6 million results, with examples and documentation? It even looks like the first 3 links might be *exactly* what you are looking for.
    -- EliottA
  •  
  • I think collaboration of any kind is an excellent way to bring the level of productivity and inventiveness down to the level of the worst member of the collaborators.
    --John C
  •  
  • Woo hoo - a spanky danky new forum to play with. [^]
    --Pete O'Hanlon
  •  
  • Man, some of the questions in the C# forum are pure crap this morning. Notice to the retards:
     
    0) When you can't figure out a way to create a rolling list with a limited number of items, it's time to look for a different occupation. They're always looking for someone to work at McDonald's.
     
    1) If you're new to programming in general, you shouldn't be converting C programs to C#.
     
    2) If you're too lazy to perform any kind of search (either here on CP or on Google) before asking a question, you should consider applying for a job as a animal test subject.
     
    3) No amount of tenacity and effort is going to make you a programmer. The sooner you come to terms with that, the better off the rest of us will be. [^]
     
    --John Simmons / outlaw programmer
  •  
  • You're in a completely dark room facing NorthWest. [^]
    --John Simmons / outlaw programmer

    That's pretty damned obvious... [^]
    --John Simmons / outlaw programmer

  •  
  • How to centre a datarowview column heather? [^]
    --ArielR
  •  
  • Just be thankful your cab wasn't being remote-operated from a cabbie outsourcing company. [^]
    --Hans Dietrich

  •  
  • anupmadathil wrote:
    its verry urgent
    Funny, it's not urgent to me at all. [^]
    --Christian Graus
  •  
  • Note that I (a) read the forum guidelines about using the pre tag, (b) formatted your code so it is readable, and (c) have located my Caps Lock key.
    I did however use multiple exclamation marks so it still looks like I was mad while typing. [^]
    --Iain Clarke
  •  
  • This article contains no content. [^]
    --Anna-Jayne Metcalfe
  •  
  • CString::Tokenize() ?
     
    For urgent purposes, you can try TokenizeUrgnz(). [^]
    --Rajesh R Subramanian
  •  
  • Sumanta Banerjee wrote:
    Can not create Inprocess Reco Engine
    In the other news, KFC recommends pepsi. [^]
    --Rajesh R Subramanian
  •  
  • your experience speaks volumes. Why do you want to add another chapter? [^]
    --Yusuf
  •  
  • Read:
    http://www.codeproject.com/KB/string/cppstringguide1.aspx[^]
     
    You will be a better person afterwards, and will no longer kick puppies for fun. [^]
    --Iain Clarke
  •  
  • Oh didn't you notice, analogous to square roots, they recently introduced rectangular, circular, and diamond roots to determine the size of the corresponding shapes when given the area. [^]
    --Luc Pattyn
  •  
  • As for "...you can describe the flower, birds, grass, insects, trees, houses...", it sounds like Poetry SDK to me, and we've had that for 1000's of years. [^]
    --Iain Clarke
  •  
  • first of all it is very ambitious to mention Windows, real-time and 5 or 20 msec all in one sentence. [^]
    --Luc Pattyn
  •  
  • VuNic wrote:
    How will it allow you to create buffers without knowing the size?
    Some versions of the GNU C compilers allocate memory equivalent to the size of a medium grapefruit and hope for the best when the size requirement isn't exactly known. [^]
    --Rajesh R Subramanian
  •  
  • So - you might be interested to know that C/C++ uses zero-based arrays, not one-based arrays? [^]
    --Stuart Dootson
