A simple rule to follow. In general, if the words or the code belong to someone else then you can't use them.

If you remove the large images and the code dump from the prose, what are you left with? Are you educated as to the thought processes that have gone into this, or is it a recipe for someone else to follow. If you come away knowing what design decisions were made and what trade offs have been considered, then it's definitely an article. If all you come away knowing is what the code actually looks like, then it's a tip. You can argue all you like but if you want people to rate your article based on its content then it makes sense not to give them a distraction to downvote it on.

Those large images was been used to make more seance. Not the size of the post.
An indicator image can help you out ... writing less words and making more seance

You misunderstand. If you take out the images, there's not a lot left. There's certainly no indication of the thought processes and the decisions that went into it. That's why it's a tip. Don't get hung up on thinking about the title, the fact that you posted a tip is a good thing. Not everything has to be a fully fledged article - a lot of my earlier articles would be classed as tips now but because the tip system wasn't in place then, they are articles. It's only the larger pieces of work that I would class as an article now.

A tiny correction: I am not editor (Editors are CP-Staff), I am protector (volunteer).
About your answer to my suggestion, I answered you as well. In short is the same as you have been told here. So I don't think I have to go into details, it is not going to bring anything new to the conversation.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I intend to write an article (including source code) about my implementation of the double-double type (an extended-precision floating-point type, implemented using two 'double's). I have used code written by David Bailey (the QD library) as a starting point, but am adding many features:
* higher precision for trigonometric functions
* better implementation of exponential functions
* implementation of additional functions present in the C++ <math> header
* writing the code in a modern manner (everything in the appropriate namespaces, etc.)
* ...
Would that sort of article be acceptable as a new article, or is it likely to be considered plagiarism?
[Naturally, the non-original parts of the code are acknowledged in the source and in the article.]
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

As long as you give proper attribution, and the original work is open to derivation, I don't see their being any problems.

OK, thanks.
The article will be posted in a couple of days...

What Pete said.
Would't Quadruple be a better name?

Actually, no.
binary128 (AKA quadruple-precision) is defined in the IEEE-754 Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic as having 1 sign bit, 15 exponent bits, and 113 mantissa bits (1 bit is hidden). The problem is that no hardware imlementations exist, as yet.
The 'double-double' type uses the sum of two binary64 (AKA double-precision) values to represent a 106-bit value. The advantage is that double-precision is implemented in hardware, and so even though we need more operations - it is still faster than a software implementation of binary128.
I'll stop now, or I might as well write the rest of the article here...

Well then it makes sense.
I could argue, probably in vain, that there is a point in forward compatibility.
But that's for a different article then.

I'm also working on a software implementation of binary128, but - as you say - that's another article.
[BTW, the 'double-double' idea is not limited to binary64. There is no reason why you couldn't have a 'quad-quad' type that gave you 226 bits of precision...]

There are plenty of consultants with the neame of their firm as username. It probably won't be classified as spam.
The Grand Programming Works, Ltd. wrote: 2) Can we all a link to our website in all our articles?
That can classify as site-driving, I think the best thing would be to put your website as the home address in your profile.

Yes, but we'd typically warn you.

The name is not what defines spam. It's the intent that counts.

Hi All,
I hope you all are fine. I have experience in a third party tool(Jqwidgets JQX grid) . So is it possible to write the article related to the JQX Grid? I heard code project does not support writing more third party articles. Please give me a suggestion so that I can start working on that. Please excuse me if I am wrong. Thanks in advance.
Kindest Regards

Please don't do that. One of the reasons your last account was de-activated for promoting too many third party products, and your hell-bent determination to post on JQX grid is feeling mighty suspicious to me right now.
Thanks,

Blimey, I just had to authorise that message for you.

I realize that this response may also have to be authorized, so I will take this opportunity to say "thank you," and also please make sure you keep my on a tight leash

Thank you so much. I won't do that then.

I would like to post an article that requires posting a modified version of Microsoft run-time code distributed with the VC 6.0 run time source code.
Can someone tell me the rules for posting existing source code that is modified?
Thanks.

I suspect that would breach Microsoft's copyright and licencing rules. But you should really ask them.

I submitted about 6 hours ago, an update to the article I wrote, but so far, I don't see it published. Did I miss something? I'm not used to the forms since a long time ago, so, maybe I did miss something.
