princessTAB trying...still trying...
How I did it: To start,we had it in our syllabus. So just wrote down whatever madam said and taught and programming with c++..this book was very helpful.Just do the practice and practical,you will learn by doing practical alot. Read how I did it…

Stella is on a mission.
Programming is just an old hobby I am interested in reviving. I was enjoying learning C++ last year, even though I didn’t get that far. Like my Ruby and Python goals, this one is getting put off for 2008. Too many things, not enough time—I might get back to this eventually, if everything else goes well.

I only really wanted to do this as a way of getting a programming job. But that’s changed now, now I want to run my own business, I’ve come to the conclusion that I hate working for other people.
I still want to create software, but you don’t need C++ for this, for games I can use many high level languages without the hard slogging work of writing things in C++.
I’m not a programmer anymore, I moved to the sysadmin field, so I think I will not learn to program in new languages for now.
I have learned that c++ is nothing like c. Maybe I was naive to think it was, however my new ambition is to learn c++ and master it before the end of this summer.
I have found a perfect tool for achieving this and it is called “Project Euler”, http://projecteuler.net/
So what is project euler? It is a set of mathematical problems that needs to be solved using iterative solutions. I found it to be excellent for learning a new programming language.
I have currently solved 12 of the 159 problems and I must say it starting to be difficult.
So my advise to the people out there trying to learn a new programming language, take a look at project euler!

I need to learn this to get a job as a games developer.
I’ve been working in support for year and writing games in Basic in my spare time. But I want to go professional with the games thing, so it’s time to get into C+. I’m starting by going through the SAMS teach yourself c+ in 24 hours book and see how I go from there.

I learned enough to sit an exam!
It was a tough one – writing code on bits of paper isn’t ‘natural’, if you ask me, and I totally ran out of time. Still – it’s done, and I have my fingers crossed (all the way to… August? October? Aaages til I get the results!) :)
The exam highlighted some areas I’m not good with – text input instead of numbers, for instance. And of course, I knew I was weak on some stuff going in (object oriented design didn’t get enough of my time). The nice/weird thing is, I’m not sitting thinking “The exam’s OVER, I’m DONE with it!!”, but actually quite interested in still learning. There’s a LOT to be said for education you choose, rather than ‘have to’ do! :)

Right. This is the one thing I can’t get to work, so please help me!
I’ve written code that produces a table, then writes it to a text file – and it works fine. But when I put it into my program, which includes another output stream and an input stream (but these should be separate), the program hangs and the text file is not created.
Is there something about not have two output streams, or an order issues, or…? I don’t know what it’s ‘clashing with’ to work in isolation, but not in conjunction.

(Honestly, I’ve done more bits fine than I’ve been stuck on!)
Here’s the dealio: I have a 1-dimensional array, ‘histo’, which contains a list of values. What I want to do is find the biggest value, and return the index associated to that.
I thought it sounded simple enough and it’s a tiny bit of code, but I’m getting various shades of wrong – so all clues to foil my bafflement most welcome!
edit:
Never mind! It should read if histo[i] > histo[max] !! :)
