Haha, I'm glad I could make you laugh, Cat! At least I came back with a bang!

Graham, look out!  A POIsonous gun!

It's just a mirror, Cedric.

I don't know where to put this... but i guess here would be the best place. I'd really like a chat with someone tonight. I can't get myself out of this funk

[LadyTerra]

What sort of funk?

Poke me on Skype and you can have half of my daily cookie

Really? Nobody has written here for a whole year now?  C'mon you guys, where else do we make all of our pointless chatter?!  (Don't be a smart ass and tell me everywhere else, either! )

So in Haids news, I'm seeing Titanic in 3D tomorrow and I'm soooooooo super stoked!  Remember the Titanic freaks, those little girls who were in love with Leo and declared that "My Heart Will Go On" was the best piece of music ever recorded?  That was me, yo.  Between ten and thirteen I pretty much ate, breathed, drank, and sweat Titanic.  Oh man.

What is up with you, my homies?  Talk to me!  I'm so tired of a sleepy forum!  We used to be so active.

Well, I'm trying to finish up my last semester of school. Currently in crunch mode trying to get the write-up for my final project done. Week after next I'll be defending, eek! So that's pretty much my life atm.

I'm also really exhausted atm so hopefully this was a coherent post . Now, time for dinner and an episode of Last Airbender, then a nap

Dude, that's awesome! Busy, busy, though.  No wonder you've been quiet lately!  Computer science, right?  Rad.  Which language do you program in?

"Tired" runs in the forum family, I think. New parents, busy students, hard workers...we're an active bunch!  Just not here anymore, unfortunately.

[tessspoon]

Computer science, right?  Rad.  Which language do you program in?

Yep! Undergrad we worked almost exclusively with Java, but in grad I've been using C++ for most of my classes, and Python for my research.

[snabbott]

C++ for most of my classes

Pun intended?
I've been trying to teach myself C++ lately. It's going slowly.

lol, didn't even notice

I still struggle with pointers. I get the idea of them, but I need more practice with actually using them.

[Haids1987]

Ha! I'm only on my second quarter of being a computer science student and I'm trying to learn C++, it's difficult.  I've got Visual Studio open right now and I'm trying to learn to properly display a 2-dimensional array.  I've gotten exactly this far:

 private void btn1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
//1. Display the array
            int rows = A.GetLength(0);
            int columns = A.GetLength(1);
            for (int i = 0; i < A.GetLength; i++)
            {
                richTextBox1.AppendText(A[rows, columns] + " ");
                {
                    richTextBox1.AppendText("/n");
                }
            }
        }

Clearly something isn't working here, I just need to figure out what is it...it's a for loop, my nemesis.

[tessspoon]

Heh, I just realized there's a code tag on this forum

I think your "/n" needs to be "\n".

I don't know what A is, but usually when displaying a 2D array two for loops are used. One to iterate over the rows, and one to iterate over the columns. If I assume that A works like the 2D arrays I'm used to, then:

Code: [Select]

//This for loop goes through all the rows of the 2D array
for(int i =0; i < rows; i++)
{
    //This for loop goes through all the items in a row
    for(int j = 0; j < columns; j++)
    {
           richTextBox1.AppendText(A[i][j] + " "); //Get the item in the current row and column and print it
    }
          richTextBox1.AppendText("\n"); //Done with the current row, so print out a newline before we start the next.
}

[Haids1987]

Dude, I didn't know there was a code tag either!

Hmmm...I copy and pasted your code into Visual Studio and it accepted most of it, but it looks like I failed to declare columns and rows. I'm going to go back and check with some of my fellow students to see what else I'm doing wrong, but thank you Tess! You're education is paying off!

In other news, I went to the 3D IMAX experience of Titanic last night. There was laughter.  There were tears. There was ridiculous cringing as the guy falls off the stern of the ship and smacks his legs on the propeller. I always forget how much I love that movie until I watch it again.

Edit: fixed your

[snabbott]

I think you need to paste Tess's code after your declarations of rows and columns.
I haven't gotten to the "Visual" stuff yet, but here's a console application that creates and displays a 2-d array:

Code: [Select]

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int a2darray[10][10];
    for (int i=0; i<10; i++) {
        for (int j=0; j<10; j++) {
            a2darray[i][j] = i+j;
        }
    }
    for (int x=0; x<10; x++) {
        for (int y=0; y<10; y++) {
            cout<<a2darray[x][y]<<" ";
        }
        cout<<"\n";
    }
}
Output:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

I don't know enough to make it pretty yet.

Also, I'm not finding a good way of determining the dimensions of a multidimensional array.
