Same thing. Unless 2015 dramatically changed the enterprise installer. Which based on the fact people have been bullshitting about how hard it is to install vs since at least 2010 despite being ridiculously simple to install, I'm going to assume it hasn't.

So I'm taking intro to programming, total novice pleb. Regular on /fit/ so obviously I made this plate calculator thing. Please tell me how I can optimize/improve it or what to do next.

Visual studio includes dozens of programs, languages, the .net framework, multiple compilers, multiple languages, git, team foundation server, unit teasting libraries, debugging tools, analysis tools, several enterprise specific features, multiple web development tools, mobile app tools, a gui builder, intellisense, sql and god only knows what else. It's the entire windows development ecosystem in a single package. Plenty of people appreciate that because it suits the manner you write .net code. If all that's too much, use an older version with a newer compiler, or install the relevant compilers and hook them up to visual studio code.

>>56619676
Before the >java shitposts flood in, I just wanted to say well done, anon. You're off to a better start than many of the novice plebs who appear here.

Anyone familiar with Visual Studio?

Bloated as fuck and age related problems, I would like a new C++ with much of the old shit removed

>>56620007
Depends on if both the library and the projects are in the same solution or not.
If they are, simple right click the project, add->reference>fromsolution->youLib

If not, compile the library with the release flag (where it says debug up top, select release). Then go to libraryDir/bin find the .dll of your library then add a reference to it(it doesn't have to be in the project directory as far as I know but it's nice to have everything in one place)

>>56620081
>Then go to libraryDir/bin find the .dll of your library then add a reference to it
I'm sorry, i don't know what this means.

The utility library is in it's own solution.

>>56620073

Programming languages don't really have those. You're thinking of backwards compatibility baggage, which can happen to any language no matter how old it is. Scheme, for example, is older than C++ but a million times more pleasant to reason about.

>>56620150
After you build you library, go to its folder in windows explorer so you know where it is. The library file will be in a folder called release, which will be inside a folder called bin. While you're here, click on the url bar of windows explorer and copy the path.

On the project name in visual studio, right click and hover over "add", then select "reference", a window will pop up of libraries you can use. At the bottom will be a "browse" button. Click on that and now you can either naivgate to your file, or paste that path you copied into the url bar again, then select your .dll file

Yeah, Scheme is great and a real pleasure to write code with but I still feel that C++ feels old and clunky, can't really point to one thing desu. It's probably have to do with the mess that is headerfiles, compilation of large programs, no modules etc

>>56620310
a...compiler?

You could try ideone. It's not a repl but it sets up the boilerplate and creates it's output before it sends you the result rather than on the fly

>>56620348
What I'm trying to say is, it has nothing to do with being old. Go, for example, is very new, but in many ways it's still clunky and "outdated."

>>56620383
Well, for Dwemthy's Array, you play the game using a repl, so it's not an option. I guess I'll have to wait until I get home. I'm on a school computer, so I usually program using online interpreters and such. Maybe I should make one that does what I want.

Let's say I have variables a, b, c, d and x.

From a, b, c and d I know they are all positive integers, and exactly two match each other. This is their pivot point. Any combination of two can be a pivot point.

How can I most elegantly get the pivot point and determine if x is between the minimum and pivot or maximum and pivot?

I'm cooking something up like compairing the four pairs, putting the pivot there but then I'm making a mess figuring out the minimum and maximum, functions everywhere. Can't I just do this in 5 lines?

C++ pleb here
what's wrong here?

 if (argc == 3 && argv[2] == "-g") {
      booleanvalue = true;
    }

even if the second argument is -g it doesn't seem to trigger the if

>>56620993
>C is hard
Everyone back in the day built shit in C so it's not hard if you are a normal functioning human being

>>56621022
>second argument
>argv[2]
That is the third argument
Print out argc and see if it is 3

>>56621022
Does == string work like than in cpp? I don't know to be honest
Also that's the third argument, index starts at 0

>>56621022
Here's a quick way to check: print out EVERYTHING in argv, and see what you get. (you have an off by one error, btw)

>>56621075
1st in argv is filename

>>56621055
>>56621143
?
I mean the second argument to the program like

program input flag

wouldn't flag be argc == 3 and argv[2] because argv counts from 0 and argc counts from 1?

>>56621099
I'll try that real quick

>>56621143
he wasn't alone

>>56621075
std::string works line that but he's using two char * so that's why.

He either has to convert argv[2] to std::string (pointless) or just use good ol' strcmp().

>>56621022
just use getopt like a normal human being
also i know in C u use strcmp against strings but u can also do argv[2][1] == 'g'

>>56621169
This is why C++ is a disgusting mess

>>56621169
That was my thinking alright, but I had no idea how c++ deals with it. I assumed there'd be some kind of legacy there from c

>>56621188
delet[] this;

>>56621147
argv[0] is always the relative path of the program itself. and count is always at least 1 because of that.
e.g.

./program test a

will have the following argvs:

argv[0] = "program"
argv[1] = "test"
argv[2] = "a"

>>56621099
here's the output from giving it:
program-name 2 -g

program-name
2
-g

>>56621220
edit:

argv[0] = "./program"

string(argv[2]) == "-g"

You just have to ensure both arguments are NULL-terminated byte strings. If you can't do that you should quietly walk away from C.

Not really. It was originally but google have changed their definition of systems language a bit since it was announced. It's more like c for the web at this point, the web seems to be their primary market for it. It's only like C in it's lack of keywords/features and c-based syntax.

I'm willing to spend 1700 on a laptop for school.

What is DirectX good for? Why would you write your game for DirectX when you can do it for OpenGl?

>>56621636
You could get a desktop/build for half the price while not reducing performance. Though you probably think CS will require you to have laptop with you at all times. Assuming your school isn't shit, you should have ample desktops running very good PCs (newer i7 cores) in the CS department labs. You really do not need a laptop, at least not an expensive one.

My recommendation is too put 800-1000 into a desktop build (learn something new and relevant to CS) and buy a cheap 300-400 laptop that you can use for low performance tasks on the go (though a smart phone may accomplish the same).

And it is safe to assume that if no game devs utilize Python in their actual source code, then it probably isn't used in other software either (except for the dev tools mentioned earlier).

>>56621732
Python is only really used for scripting in games but it's a sub-par choice compared to e.g. Lua, simply due to how Lua is designed to be embedded.

Game engine development != Game development

>>56621994
Here's a tip I picked up:
If they think gamedev is for codemonkeys, they don't program at all.
If they just think gamedev is cool but/or too hard for them then they're webdevs.
If they think the underlying engines of gamedev are exciting they do systems programming or desktop applications.

>>56622058

>Right, all of those fags using Unity, RPG Maker, or whatever could totally implement it themselves.
You don't need to know how to implement it, you need to know what it does and a basic understanding of how. RPG maker is the loosest possible form of gamedev, and really is game design.

Besides that, ai is not engine dev, and to do anything more complicated than a unidirectional sidescroller you need to be able to write decent, performant algorithms.

As I said, the people who hate gamedevs are nodev. At the very least, and at it's very worst, gamedev is still far ahead of webdev on the respectibility scale.

>>56622018

Gamedev IS cool. I don't do it, but I recognize it for what it is. It's an exciting world with exciting technologies and exciting applications. If nothing else, it gives you an opening to deeper, more complex systems.

>>56622105
Because game design courses are a scam designed specifically to keep the riff raff wannadevs out of computer science/engineering. The only people who get jobs with a game design degree are young women with no particularly noteworthy programming skills are far as I can tell.

Game engine development is actually a challenging programming task and requires you understand data structures, algorithms, and some math (particularly linear algebra).

>>56622273
Nodevs like to clamp down on whatever the first thing they learned was and think they never have to do anything again. They shittalk everything else, don't keep up to date with the thing they like and their only experience is whatever they have no choice but to do in work(if they're professionals).

>>56622273
>It's /dpt/'s word for poser
I don't think I've ever heard anyone anyone say that here, at least in my recent memory.
If I'm not mistaken, it's a agdg term.

Powershell's range operator is weird. It behaves lazy until you assign it to a variable.

This consumes little to no extra memory:

foreach ($i in 1..100000000) { echo $i }

This consumes about 3 gigs on my system (Which strangely enough indicates that it's using around 30 bytes per element, but that could just be the fact that Powershell has a memory leak):

$ary = 1..100000000
foreach ($i in $ary) { echo $i }

Why can't .NET have a proper range type like Ruby? It literally only needs the memory for two integers.

>>56622303
>I did a paper in university about "game development" (I was just wanted an easy paper to get some credits), and that is exactly what it consisted of.

So you're bragging that you delibierately didn't do game dev and wrote a paper, essentially, on game design using tools that do the work for you(thus limiting your game to whatever the program can automatically do with some gui boxes and drag and drop)

>>56622322
I don't know what your country uses the term "paper" for, but where I live, it just means a university course (but also has the meaning of a research paper and is usually clear from context).
I wasn't aware that it was different elsewhere.

It's a MS-only language so it doesn't cross platform at all, which is stupid since although it was only recently even C# finally went cross platform.

Correct, but killing the process freed up 3 gigabytes of memory. The reason is, I've got an alpha release of Powershell that has a known memory leak in it.

good habit to get into (and maybe this is preference, but I still think it looks better), is to

1. keep a space between your if and the first bracket, then a space between the closing bracket and opening brace.
e.g.
if(){
//...
}

becomes
if () {
//...
}


2. get in the habit to ALWAYS use braces in single-statement conditionals and loops. Write code for the next guy who has to maintain your code and change things. It's just a pain in the ass to go back and add braces.
e.g.
if ()
//statment
else
//statement

becomes,
if () {
//statement
} else {
// statement
}

What is the best way to start into machine learning?

Is there a recommended book/article on neural network implementation?

>>56623385

Debug and release in general mean:

Debug - Has debugging information in the binary, compiled with less optimization flags

Release - Has no debugging information present, useless sections of the binary are stripped for minimal binary size, as many optimization flags as possible are set to maximize performance.

But what all each of these detail can vary based on the build system. I am not intimately familiar enough with Android Studio to know all of the little details.

>>56623595
You're not calling m.

>>56623076
fuck, this took me a while... it's difficult to debug, because your program keeps corrupting many things, I guess
mate, you aren't defining st as a2D array, but as a pointer to pointer. also, you keep calloc'ing ptr in cpst(), but you then you free st...
also, you defined x and y twice, as global vars and inside main()
also, instead of
>st[rand() % y][rand() % x] = 1;
do something like

    int a, b; 
    for (;n--;)
        a = rand() % y; 
        b = rand() % x; 
        st[a][b] = 1; 

in short, fix your shit (and learn how to use gdb, if you don't know already)

so, I'm trying to make a multiplatform map app (android, web, ios/desktop if possible) from linux...
tried C#/.net with monodevelop/vscode and I just can't find a fucking lib that works. can someone help me? :/

>>56623665
btw, my C is rusty as fuck, so you probably have even more problems with your code. but I think the crashes come from the fact that you keep allocating and freeing the wrong things.

Machine language is a step above binary, is it not?

>>56623609
If the machine isn't up, then the entry will go stale, but yes, you won't get the most timely updates.

>>56623739
Can you give an example?

You're creating a new Manual_Input object inside of Get_Totals.t(); that Manual_Input won't have the same Calories as the other Manual_Input object. If in another part of the program you're doing:

manualInput = new Manual_Input();
manualInput.m();
totals = Get_Totals();
totals.t();

totals won't know about the manualInput you created because it's creating a brand new man Manual_Input object.

>>56623789
Binary is not a language. It's a number base.
Also, machine code IS represented in binary and is probably what you're thinking of.

I haven't seen a worse lingua franca language than Javascript. Like how do you even get to the point where people write one function left-pad libraries with that shit? Even C has a better standard library than Javascript.

At least people built good stuff on top of C that are still being used to this day. Hoping ES6 fixes a lot of this or better yet, Webassembly gets finalized and Javascript can die.

>>56623575

String handling is still not consistent with some functions NUL terminating your strings for you and some that don't, along with silent truncation and security with buffer overflows. Good performance and consistent naming is the only two good parts about C's string library.

You need at least Java-level string handling for it to be at least good IMO, but I would rather have Python or Perl string handling if possible.

>>56620692
emacs...

>>56623845
>some functions NUL terminating your strings for you and some that don't
Every C function null terminates the string, except for the mem* functions (technically not string function, but are in string.h) and strncpy.
strncpy is the exception because of what it's designed for. It's for writing non-null terminated strings and copying the string into the middle of another string.
Some people confuse it for a "safe" strcpy, which it isn't.

>>56623800
What you posted is really useful there's no doubt about that but I'm also particularly interested in nmap's estimated uptime, the port scanning component and the os detection functionality

>>56623665
st can't be defined because if it is, it will have set dimensions
the point it that st points to an array which has array of ints (either 1 or 0, I could've _Bool but int is faster to type and looks prettier)

I free st before making it point somewhere else

x and y in main are supposed to overshadow the global ones

>st[rand...
thats just style

>>56623814
That's essentially what I'm doing, more or less. I'd give you more info but I'm on my phone and its a little hard to navigate.
How can I then use the value of a variable in a previously executed method as the value for a variable within a later method?

>>56623712
He's allocating ptr and then assigning ptr to st, so he frees the allocated memory from one call of cpst in the next call to cpst. That should be fine.

Except i'm not seeing that he allocates st for the first time. That means the first call to cpst tries to free garbage, which is bad.

>>56623940
so

st = malloc(0);

before the while loop?

>>56623890

strcpy_s is safe :^)

>>56623968
Yeah, i guess.

>>56623940
Global and static variables are initialised to 0.
Also, calling free(NULL) is defined to be a noop.
So the first time he frees st is valid (assuming NULL is represented as 0).

>>56623994
except that it still segfaults

so if this is true, what's the problem? where is anon's program crashing, and why?

Google search -- 'what is the difference between a Java class and object'.

A class defines a kind of 'template' for objects -- the class itself, however, does not hold data unless it is static. If you create an instance of that class, it's an object, with its own variables, memory location, etc. If you create a second object (man = new Manual_Input()), it refers to a different object, with a different memory address, and different variables, than the other.

So if you do:

Manual_Input man1 = new Manual_Input();
Manual_Input man2 = new Manual_Input();

man1 and man2 have their own set of variables (Calories, here) that are unrelated to each other; changing Calories in man1 won't affect man2.
Or you need to pass in the reference of the object you're using, so it knows which object's calories to use:

public class Manual_Input {
     double Calories = 0; //Initial value for variable

     public void m() {
          Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
          System.out.print("Please enter the Calories per serving: ");
          Calories += input.nextDouble(); //Variable gets new value
     }
}

public class Get_Totals {
     public void t(Manual_Input man) {
          double oCal = man.Calories; //Should store previous value in new variable but doesn't
     }
}

Manual_Input man = new Manual_Input();
man.m();
Get_Totals totals = new Get_Totals();
totals.t(man);

Another solution could be to do things statically, which would mean you don't need to make an object reference:

public class Manual_Input {
     static double Calories = 0;

     public static void m() {
          Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
          System.out.print("Please enter the Calories per serving: ");
          Calories += input.nextDouble(); //Variable gets new value
     }
}

public class Get_Totals {

     public static void t() {
          double oCal = Manual_Input.Calories;
     }
}

Manual_Input.m();
Get_Totals.t();

>>56624054
At a glance, he has all sorts of problems with his code, with the main one being

int **ptr = calloc(ny, sizeof(int)*nx);

which is NOT how you allocate a 2D array.
2D arrays are just a hassle and using a 1D array + stride is a much better idea.
I really can't be bothered trying to read through his disgusting code to find all of the details though.

>>sizeof nst
>isn't this wrong?
No.

>>56624099
It can, but it's not worth the effort of doing, especially since it's not statically sized.

Here is how you allocate a 2D array using malloc in C:

// 5 x 10 array
int (*arr1)[10] = malloc(sizeof *arr1 * 5);
arr1[4][9] = 10;
//or
int (*arr2)[5][10] = malloc(sizeof *arr2);
(*arr2)[4][9] = 10;

However, his array is variable sized, so it needs to know the size of the dimensions at the declaration:

int x = 5;
int y = 10;

// 5 x 10 array
int (*arr1)[y] = malloc(sizeof *arr1 * x);
arr1[4][9] = 10;
//or
int (*arr2)[x][y] = malloc(sizeof *arr2);
(*arr2)[4][9] = 10;

However, you cannot have a global/static variable be variably sized, because its size is not known at compile time. You also cannot return a pointer to a variable sized array from a function (but you can pass it in as an argument).

I can sort of think how you could change his program to use malloced 2D arrays like this, but it would require basically changing his entire program, which I cannot be fucked doing.

>>56624273
With a 1D array, it's just pointer + length.
With a 2D array, (unless the y dimension is static) you cannot without losing type information.

Really, using a 1D array with a size (x) and stride (y) is a much better idea.

>>56624309
ok, I'll go your way

>>56624273
you could allocate a one dimensional array, like you've done, an access it by

arr[i*x + j]

instead of

arr[i][j]
