second for C++++

Trying to get into programming strictly as a hobby. What's a good language if you don't plan on doing collaborative work? I heard Java, for example, requires a lot of code compared to python.

Also what's a good website for inspiration for software to develop?

>>55367335
Learn C. Every programmer should know C, regardless of anything.

>>55367340

>>55367335
This -> >>55367340
After grasping the core concepts you might wanna move to a higher level language or just use libraries.

If I'm piping data into a C program, is there a measurable advantage to encoding it in binary instead of plaintext? Is that faster?
Does it even matter if I'm only sending 5-6 integer messages?

why?

Continued from last thread.. Capitalization cleaned up let's make this more "Enterprise".

int PennieConversion(float decimal_money)
{
    int n;
    long b;
    decimal_money *= 100;
    b = round(decimal_money);
    n = b;
    return n;
}

int HowManyInNum(int num, int num_to_count) {
    int count = 0;
    if (num < num_to_count) {
        return 0;
    }
    
    while (num >= num_to_count) {
        num -= num_to_count;
        ++count;
    }

    return count;
}

int Blub(int& total, int worth) {
    int amount = HowManyInNum(total, worth);
    total -= (amount * worth);
    return amount;
}
int main(void) 
{
    int total = 1214;
    int amount_paid = 0;
    int quarters = 0;
    int dimes = 0;
    int nickels = 0;
    int pennies = 0;
    int difference = 0;

    amount_paid = PennieConversion(9.75f);
    difference = total - amount_paid;

    quarters = Blub(difference, 25);
    dimes = Blub(difference, 10);
    nickels = Blub(difference, 5);
    pennies = Blub(difference, 1);

    cout << quarters << " " << dimes << " " << nickels << " " << pennies;
    cin.get();
    return 0;
}

I'm thinking this might call for some factory objects, a monetary interface, and some complex architecture to support multiple currencies.

But anyway, what do you plan on doing with it? Anything in mind? (e.g. web programming, games, emulators, etc. )

>>55367373
I don't think it will matter, I forgot the reasons to encode to binary though, one of them was to make inviable to let the user modify the text.

>>55367380
you learn how to properly program

you learn how a language influences a computer

just do it

Is there an easy way to make gpxe shutdown when it fails to boot? I can wake my device with WoL, but if it doesn't boot correctly I have to walk over and manually power it down.

>>55367373
Binary encoding is faster, but it would only be noticeable for much larger sets of data.

>>55367385
there needs to be a newline between return type and function name

>>55367425
Can C read binary from stdin, or is the process different?

>>55367373
>>55367425
by "larger sets of data" literally only hundreds of thousands of lines it will make a difference

C is one of the worst languages for a beginner. It has fucked up semantics and irregular syntax.
If you want to learn how to "influence a computer" just learn assembly.

>What's a good language if you don't plan on doing collaborative work
functional languages

Try Haskell

http://www.seas.upenn.edu/%7Ecis194/spring13/lectures.html

>>55367432

What shop did you work at that ever did that in c / c++ code? I should probably be thankful I haven't seen that yet.

>>55367446
>Can C read binary from stdin
Yes. It's like any other file.

>>55367451
You're retarded.

I just decided to learn my first language like an hour ago too and started with python. Did I fuck up? Should I start over with C?

>>55367448
So I shouldn't even bother if I'm just sending a 6 byte, MIDI-like message?

>>55367446
Well ascii is 8 bits so input an 8 bit string at a time and cast it to a char

it's really not a realistic option

>>55367464
it makes grepping for function definitions easier

If you don't know C, you basically aren't even human.

t. Cmen

>>55367469
Stick with Python. Once you mastered it, move to C++ if you want to go lower.

If you mix races, you basically aren't even human.

C is good for learning how computers work.
But something like Scheme is better for learning how computer science works.

When you read SICP, it's not full of "well you could do it this way, or you could do it with *this* function, but don't use *that* function; it's considered depreciated" footnotes like C texts are.

It really depends on where your interests lie. If you want to treat your computer like a racecar where you tweak X to make Y happen, learn C. If you want to treat it like a magic tome where you just say X and Y happens, learn Scheme. They're both useful.

>>55367534
>but don't use *that* function; it's considered depreciated
List of deprecated C functions:
gets

Even then, it was actually removed, so you don't even have to worry about it anymore.

>>55367534
scheme got deprecated by Haskell honestly

>>55367469

Just stick with it. After you're comfortable with python move onto to something lower (C, C++, Rust).

C is a language every programmer should eventually learn to at least read.

If you want a job.. It's still mainly SQL, C#, Java, and C++. That is if you actually count SQL as a programming language.

You're right, nigger lover.

>>55367606

Haskell in general is built for and by academics. In general the language always chooses academically interesting approaches rather than increasing programmer productivity.

I'm pretty sure about the only place it has seen successful commercial use is at a few financial institutions.

>>55367410
why is it better than other languages? what defines proper programming?

>>55367391
Probably websites that offer some built in service. Want to build a website that helps video content creators match up(ie: video editor with guy go gathers footage of some extreme sport or whatever). Have a couple of these ideas but no clue on how to go about it. I took intro to java in college last semester. don't see many people using this language for these kinds of projects though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8G9QIIvSpzE

>>55367735
They're just recommending C because that's what they've been exposed first. They see anyone who doesn't go through that particular rite of passage as a lesser programmer no matter what. There is no rationality behind it.

>>55367800
yea i figured. doubt these advocates even know how to program properly themselves.

>>55367717
>I'm pretty sure about the only place it has seen successful commercial use is at a few financial institutions.
and even then most of them just use Ocaml.

Lisp and Haskell are both largely functional but they're night and day really. Haskell has none of the joyous spirit of exploration that Lisp provides.

You just skipped the steps of spending several years in unpaid internships, working on open source projects, and getting scammed on Upwork in order to build your reputation.

>>55367955

Not so much a meme as a sign of the transition from unsafe code with side effects to mostly safe code with well regulated zones of side effects. This is transition is probably a result of the growing demand for asynchronous multi-threaded applications.

>>55367971
Oh I don't know, for printing objects?

Whoever thought that was a good way to do it was fucking retarded.

Figuring out how I'd like to design and create a VM. I'm thinking of segmenting everything like the instructions, data and stack, but I'm not quite sure on the logistics on that.

>>55367996

this is a transition that is probably a result of the growing demand for asynchronous multi-threaded applications*

I really need some caffeine right now.

>>55367908

Because there is no "object" type that all objects inherit from.

How should the C++ language know what your object should look like as a string anyways if you don't define the method yourself?

>>55367996
just use functors

>>55368029
No you don't understand.
I can't define the member and have printing functions use it because print functions don't know about it.
Sure I can call it manually, but I don't want to.

>>55367908
They use overloading their memestreams for that.
It's horrible, I know.

>>55368089
Yeah I'm aware of that but I do not want to use it.
It's a terrible fucking hack. Fuck stream operators all together, format strings are superior.

>>55368061

namespace std {
    string to_string(const your_obj& o)
    {
        // Fill in code here, you lazy twat.
    }

>>55368061
you can override cast operator for const char* m8

>>55367800
>>55367819
No. I was exposed to C only after shit scripting languages and C++ and I still recommend it first. It's a beautiful language.

Why is operator overloading acceptable?

Why should + mean "add two numbers" as well as "append two lists"

How is this not considered harmful as FUCK?

>>55368061

Templates + Design patterns.. If you really need a bunch of objects that can be used by a print function then you should probably be programming to a interface of some sort. I'm pretty sure that's what most languages with a to_string built in are doing.

>>55368126

Because freedom. + Is just a function.

>>55368116
nice coming of age narrative you have there

>>55368126
append two lists is actually ++ in good languages

operator overload is a thing so you can use + for both int and float (and other shit like vectors)

>>55368137
> freedom
Whenever you hear this word, you know it's going to be followed by a justification for something unjustifiable.

>>55368126
because it's controlled by the programmer to be safe. How would it be harmful?

>>55368155

No need. Freedom is its own justification.

>>55368143

>>55368150
>you can use + for both int and float
Probably the only case where it makes some sense
And even then it's not too much trouble to have separate syntax for int and float like Ocaml does

I was writing an iOS app the other week and ran into some ridiculous compiler errors caused entirely by operators being overloaded up the wazoo.

I know, I know
>Swift

but there's a deeper, theoretical flaw going on here

One function should do one thing.

>>55368155
Come to Russia, buddy. We all hate freedom, you'll feel at home. I assure you.

>>55368198
it also makes sense for vectors and matrices and everything else where you want addition

>>55368195

Yes. Get rekt, Anon. C++ is not for mere mortals such as yourself.

>>55368228
I'm sorry, but I have some semblance of taste.

>>55368199
luckily my own country is slowly becoming more nationalist and less liberal, but maybe not quickly enough

I'm not trying to be edgy but 'freedom' can seriously go to hell. It's always wielded as an excuse to defend a sub-optimal state of affairs. The average person has nothing to show for 'freedom'

>>55368195
Indeed. There is no safer way to objectify console in and console out.

Is there a quick way to overload functions where the only thing that changes is the parameter.
Dealing with opening files and I need to open a char* or a tchar*. You cant convert a tchar to a char to my knowledge easily.

>>55368198
It makes sense for lots of things. any string library, any big number library. IO. matrix libraries.

and most people assumes that operator overloading is just math operators. you have [] -> in C++, or casting operators . or assignment. these have lots of usability

If you are using operator overloading when it makes no sense, it is no different than bad function names. it is programmer's responsible to make use of it.

this is a sad world

>>55368353
yea, java and Go kek

>>55368353

(add a (multiply b ( (add c e) (subtract f g))))

This makes no sense are you multiplying b by the sum of c and e and then multiplying the result by the difference of f and g or what?

>>55368397
>his language does not have a comma operator

>>55368427

The comma operator functions differently depending on what b is in this case. It could be a class that performs a multiplication between c.add(e) and f.subtract(g) or it could be doing a multiplication using all three.. It's far too ambiguous in this example.

Why? str{cpy,cat,dup} all share the same problem as gets, no way to specify a limit.

strtok was replaced by strsep.

bcopy and bzero were defined by POSIX, marked legacy in 2001. I didn't know you were such a pedant we were only talking about the standard lib.

>>55368641

And gets is limited by a newline.

I think it was obvious I was referring to srncpy and friends, which let you specify a maximum number of bytes.

>>55368800
It's false to assume that strncpy is a 'safe' strcpy. They have different semantics.

Also, you can guarantee the length of many strings and buffers, so the 'n' versions wouldn't be necessary in those situations and only hurts performance.

>>55367288

a new line that is inputted by user. you can't force user to size of your buffer.

>>55368688

> they were removed

In 2008. Lots of documentation and example code still uses them, and lots of systems still define them, which confirms the original point that C has lots of cruft from the way things were done before.

I heard Chez Scheme was just open sourced by Cisco. Sounds like a good opportunity to explore the language once more.

Standard Scheme seems to have become an actual thing, with libraries, module system and everything. Sounds pretty exciting, fixes my number 1 complaint about Scheme: fragmentation.

What do you think is the best Scheme implementation? I hear Chez is one of the best ones on the performance side, and it seems to be an actual R6RS implementation

What is the best site for programming practice problems and practice projects?

>>55369141
What software?

So as I said earlier I've started learning my python as my first programming language. I am following this http://automatetheboringstuff.com/chapter2/
And I made this

#Example something like a login
name = ''
password = ''
while 'oer' != name :
    print('Username:')
    name = input()
    print('Password:')
    password = input()
    if 'oer' == name :
        print('Hello Okay')
    else:
        print('Unknown User')
    while 'oer' == name and 'ok' != password :
        print('Wrong Password')
        print('Password:')
        password = input()
    if password == 'ok' and  name == 'oer':
        print('Access Granted')
import time
time.sleep(3)

Anyone can get programming you just need a good teacher to explain it to you. What are you struggling with specifically?

When I do:

fd = open("myfile", O_RDONLY);

it returns a successful file descriptor.

But when I do:

char buf[256];
fgets(buf, sizeof(buf), stdin);
open(buf, O_RDONLY);

and enter myfile in stdin, I get a -1 error status.
What's the difference between the two pieces of code and how do I make the second part work?

I'm aware of std::to_string()
I'm talking about a standard to_string() method in objects.
Yes I know I could define one myself, but the standard printing functions don't use them.

I can't do this:

Foo f;
puts(f); // fuck std::cout

>>55370770

You have a few options.

1. Stop being a whiny bitch, and do it like this:

Foo f;
const char *s = f.to_string(); // Implement this yourself
puts(s);

2. Implement an overload for puts that does this for you

3. This

But above all, stop complaining that the language doesn't know how to print your custom object. It has no idea how to represent your object as a string, and therefore can't print it. Also, puts is a C function, so logically it can only deal with C's data types. It can't even print an std::string without you first using the c_str() method to get a C string out of it.

mozilla webgl tutorial
sorry for late response, i was busy fapping

I know nothing about C, so here goes:

I'm trying to read a .WAV header into an array of unsigned 8-bit integers.

In Scheme it's as simple as

(read-u8vector 44 (wavfile-port))

which gives me

#u8(82 73 70 70 222 153 42 0 87 65 86 69 102 109 116 32 40 0 0 0 254 255 1 0 68 172 0 0 136 88 1 0 2 0 16 0 22 0 16 0 4 0 0 0)

I'm reading about reading binary files in C, and apparently I have to read the bytes into a char array? This is what I have:

FILE *fileptr;
char *buffer;

fileptr = fopen("wavfile.wav", "rb");
buffer = (char *)malloc(45*sizeof(char));
fread(buffer, 1, 44, fileptr);
fclose(fileptr);

The resulting array is

82 73 70 70 -34 -103 42 0 87 65 86 69 102 109 116 32 40 0 0 0 -2 -1 1 0 68 -84 0 0 -120 88 1 0 2 0 16 0 22 0 16 0 4 0 0 0 -1

You can see that some of the indices are similar to the Scheme vector. Those are where characters appear in the .WAV header. The numerical values are fucked though.

tl;dr - how do I get the binary data I've read to appear as unsigned integers like in the Scheme example

>>55373348
replace

char *buffer;

with

unsigned char *buffer;

A WAV-header is not a string. It can contain zeroes that do not terminate the string. You won't

printf ( "%s", output );

anyway. Also, A WAV-header is not really 44 bytes long. It can be as long as you want it to be (there are four bytes that contain the length of the header at 0x10).

So what you really need to do is, go into the file, seek for 0x10, read out the length of the header, go back to the start and then read the whole header. Something like

size_t read_wav_header( uint8_t **output, const char *filename )
{
    FILE *file_ptr;
    file_ptr = fopen( filename, "rb" );
    uint32_t length_of_header;
    fseek( file_ptr, 0x10, SEEK_SET );
    fread( &length_of_header, 1, 4, file_ptr );
    length_of_header += 20;
    *output = malloc( length_of_header );
    if ( *output )
    {
        fseek( file_ptr, 0x00, SEEK_SET );
        fread( *output, 1, length_of_header, file_ptr );
        return length_of_header;
    }
    else
        return 0;
}

That function returns 0 if it failed to read the file and the length of the header if it succeeded. Use it like

int main ()
{
    uint8_t *output = NULL;
    size_t L = read_wav_header( &output, "test.wav" );
    for ( int i = 0; i < L; ++i )
        printf( "%02x ", output[i] );
}

for example.

what if i want to declare a global variable from a function in c? e.g. i call a function with a value, then i want a global array to have the size of that value

>>55373986
>i want a global array to have the size of that value
Global variables must have a constant size.

>>55373944
Thanks for the very thorough explanation.
For the time being I'm just working on some basic playback of a few samples for use in my own compositions, rather than a program released for general usage, so I can guarantee the header size is going to be what I want it to be. The reason why I'm reading the header in the first place is just to make a couple of ioctl calls for the sampling rate, channels, etc later

if the code ever becomes something larger than that, I'll implement you advice

>>55374081
and of course I can guarantee the channels and sampling rate too

the only think I really care about is the number of frames. I figured it'd be quicker to read the value from the header than the manually count everything in the file

>>55373986

int *global_array;

void alloc_array(int size) {
  global_array = malloc(sizeof(int)*size);
}

Something like that.

Dear /dpt/.

Im not very good at programming (truth to be told - Im terrible), but I want to ask: how hard it is to make GUI program for existing, text based one?

Right now, at uni, we have one software, made in Pascal (but because author prefered Fortran, code looks more like Fortran) that is very useful, but kinda annoying to use, due to said text mode (options selected by typing numbers, no option to get back in case of typo, have to scroll down by enter every options if you just want to change one parameter, one error might force user to start all over again and such). Making some sort of GUI addon would be really useful. But how deep we had to "dig in" into code to make something like that? Or perhaps, if we would know how to make such addon, it would be as easy to make whole new version, already with build-in GUI, on our own?

Thanks for any reply.

Not a programming language.

I know Rust and Haskell, and they're both interesting languages, but Haskell doesn't really have real-world viability.

>>55374915
i dont know if there are any pascal libraries that support basic GUI building, if there are, look into one. Then from the GUI front-end, you build your input for the back-end

Java or C# or something is fine for 'enterprise' programming, programming in business or something

But in any serious R&D based job, like computer vision or signal processing or whatever - C is a must know. Also useful is MATLAB and some scripting languages - usually Ruby or Python.

Learning C definitely makes you a better programmer though, the lessons you learn with C change the way you think about computers and programming.

Is it faster to sort a vector upon each added value, or better to just add everything and then sort?

>>55375808
add then sort

>>55375822
Yeah but after each element is added, or after they're all added?

>>55375837
after they're all added

>>55375859
hmm, kk, would it be faster to add a bunch adn search, or go through each vectors and see if it contains the same item first?

Anything like this https://hbpms.blogspot.com/ for someone who wants to learn programming and some computer science? I took several courses during school, but don't know where to go from there.
