Three times in a row I thought I'd change it around a bit
I'm recompiling a program written in C++ that I modified. It's on Macintosh.
It requires the qt library, and the sqlite library, which the makefile recommends installing by homebrew.
The problem is, whenever I compile it, the compiled version looks for the homebrew installation of those two libraries, instead of bundling them inside the application.
How do I compile this thing for release so the user doesn't have to manually install the two libs via homebrew? (The application released by the main devs does not require any user-action, it's all bundled).

what's the difference between a programmer and a code monkey?
honestly...
>>54211163
A programmer has a conscience
>>54211163
Code monkeys have no idea what they're doing and can't write library code.
99% of their code output is because their job requires it and their code consists entirely of glue code that uses other people's apis and libraries.
They're the replaceable, disposable workforce that routinely gets outsourced to pajeets.

I'll be looking into this. Pretty much a noob, never had to deal with libraries on Mac before. On linux I just throw the -static flag into my clang make routine and it just werks.

>>54211287
>never had to deal with libraries on Mac before. On linux I just throw the -static flag into my clang make routine and it just werks.
Same deal on OS X dummy. Worst case, you can link against copies of the libs in an include dir that you distribute with the application (app is a container).
>>54211151
this explains everything
https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/dsohowto.pdf
>>54211225
apparently qmake automatically generates a "bundle" which is like static linking on OSX.
Still, the app won't work on a clean machine until the dependencies qt and sqlite are installed via homebrew

How do I register an input on MIPS? I have to show a menu(of 8 options) and receive which number the user pressed. I tried the following:
li $v0,8
la $a0, op
li $a1, 3
move $t0,$a0
syscall
but it doesn't seem to work. Can someone help me on this one?
Notes:
I use a branch after that, like
beq $t0, 1, op1 (op1 is where the first option of the menu is executed)
also, op is declared as:
.data
op: .space 3

Why is a stack limited in size?
>>54212483
what? It's not, unless you require it to be for some reason.
Rate my hex converter!char *dec2hex(int num)
{
unsigned len = uintlen(num);
char *str = (char *) malloc(sizeof(char) * len);
int i = 0;
while (num > 0)
{
unsigned digit = num % 16;
if (digit > 9)
str[i++] = digit - 10 + 'A';
else
str[i++] = digit + '0';
num /= 16;
}
str[i] = '\0';
strrev(str);
return str;
}

I knew they were character arrays, but how exactly is alphabetical sorting done? If I just compare strings instead of the first letter, won't that give me the wrong answer?
>>54212985
Have some intuition m8. A char is just a number. take the first char of each string and sort based on that. On all the strings of the same first char, sort the second char and so on until it's sorted.
>>54212985
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/string/string/compare/
just use fucking string compare. if you're concerned about there being a difference between char comparison and stirng comparison you can use the position parts to make it a char comparison.

>>54211104
Who the fuck is lelouch?
>>54213245
mainly the dumbass over-OOPing everything.
I always wind up coming back to this language for one reason or other, and 99% of the things that stop my program from running are based around their inane conventions, like main() being a static method inside a class.
I'm also not a huge fan of the idea that you don't have to clean up your pointers.
Passing EVERYTHING by reference is also annoying.
Basically... why is Java Java and not Mobile C++?
Usually, usually, it's tiny shit, but it's so fucking annoying.
This time, in particular, it's the main() thing again. I sat there a few minutes asking myself "Why the fuck is it giving me this error again..? I know I had to do something stupid last time to get it to stop..."
After pondering for a few more minutes, it dawned on me... oh yeah... in this language, the program ITSELF is a class...
Needing to make helper functions just to make main() work is dumb as shit. Worse is that you always have to remember to make an instance of whatever class HOLDS main().
Really just little things. Lots of lots of little, inane nuances about this language piss me off.
If it was 20% less like Java and 20% MORE like C/C++, I'd probably herald it as the best language around, but it's not, and I won't.

>>54213802
VS has the worst UI I've ever seen for C/C++ development tools. I'd rather write using the VIM for Windows I downloaded.
I had to use VS for Visual BASIC for a class once. The environment is so fucking annoying. Also, when using C/C++, it adds dumbass shit to the file dependencies I don't want.
On a side note, VB has dogshit syntax... and trying to edit the files properly is a complete nightmare because of how VS puts the project together.

Make a constant for that. e.g. for 32-bit integers the longest hexidecimal int is going to be 8 digits, so "#define MAX_HEX_INT 9". Saving like 3 "needless" bytes in your buffer by computing the width beforehand is actually a net-loss in terms of performance; those byte are completely negligible and the malloc() would probably allocate them anyways because of alignment.
>>54214358

Learn programming require time, effort and a clear idea of what do you want to do. A CS graduate spent 5 years studying just for pursuing an entry level job. Don't expect less than that, also you need some math background. That if you want to be employable, else you can try being freelancer.
>or what is the top age to begin learning coding?
There is not a top age. All depends on how motivated are you for learning new things. Don't learn programming because you want a job, learn programming if you want/like to solve problems than can be solved through code.

Too vague to properly answer.
If it works for you, then why fix what ain't broken? It's not like you have to remember the manpage of every program on your system inside out.
Learning by doing is a good method with most computing (OPINIONS!).
>>54214732
it's a pretty nice website though, you should start
>>54215013
so, if I want to get a job and show-off, I have to do things the right way? what, then, if I'm at work? I will be criticized by my peers for being a lazy fuck and a hack, no?
>>54215055
really depends on the type of work
but generally yes
some examples of when you need to use underscore to start the name of a variable in java?
>$, _, a, n, y, l, e, t, t, e, r,
>>54215115
>need to
why?
>>54215115
that's what i'm asking
>>54215115
some people do it for private fields or args like this;public int setNigger(int _nigger) {
nigger = _nigger;
}
it can also be done like this instead using the `this' keywordpublic int setNigger(int nigger) {
this.nigger = nigger;
}

how do I write the prototype of a function that takes a 1d array and returns a 2d array
what's the best array size?
>>54215206
Sure, you can do that too
>>54215237
you cant return an array
instead do something like thisint array[10][10]
function ( &array[0][0] )
>>54215237
just copy the function header and add a semicolonint **return_2d_array(int *);
>>54215254
so just an _option, but no _need for it, eh? then why even have _it?
>>54215273
for stupid shit like >>54215173
>>54215262
arrays are second class objects in C, you can return a pointer to an array (of arrays of arrays...) so long as it's locally allocated as part of the function call.

what exactly do you wish to do?
Is there a good book that will bring me from being able to make short ~500LOC or less scripts to being able to make larger projects?
Choice of language the book uses is obviously less important as this is a more abstract topic, but a book that uses Python or C would be preferable.

mate that's racist
>>54215339
wtf
how so?
>>54215313
anon, don't bother using array subscripts in function declarations, it's confusing as fuck.
Just return pointers, or pointers to pointers, or pointers to pointers to pointers.

Are you kidding me?

I want to make a function group() such that
group("nigger") yields ["n","i","gg","e","r"]
or group("aaaabbcdd") yields ["aaaa","bb","c","dd"]
Currently working on an open source ai/automation platform. Kind of like android for ai, third parties can write apps (in several different languages) that use the speech recognition engine and so forth. It can also learn new skills on the fly by turning english into python
>>54215364
nope. how is that racist?
are you a SJW who claims everything is racist and needs to go back to sucking his momma's tit?
inb4: that's sexist!
>>54215365
Does group("aabcaaad") yield ["aa", "b, "c", "aaa", "d"] or ["aaaaa", "b", "c", "d"] or ["aa", "aaa", "b", "c", "d"]?
>>54215365
why would you name that function "group" when it obviously partitions the string?
>>54215398
>not knowing carl the cuck's catchphrase
>>54215410

>>54215410
based on the description it seems like it yieldsaa b c aaa d
>>54215410
let me put it this way
concatenating the result of group(s) is equal to s
>>54215420
>>the first one
Then why the fuck are you actually splitting this in to sub arrays instead of just parsing the string directly?
>>54215417
what a bizarre thing for someone with severe autism to hone in on.
as for >>54215365
you could just start at the second element and just chomp through the string, likedef group(string):
output=[string[0]]
for n in range(1,len(string)):
if string[n]==string[n-1]:
output[-1]+=string[n]
else:
output.append(string[n])
return output
assert(group("aabcaaad")==['aa', 'b', 'c', 'aaa', 'd'])
assert(group("nigger")==['n', 'i', 'gg', 'e', 'r'])
>>54215468
>a bizarre thing
criticizing people for misnaming functions isn't bizzare at all, it leads to bugs and more time spent on reading and understanding the code.
>>54215453
so I can ignore non space arrays, and also because it's more general
>>54215496
I named it that way because my first lang had a function like what I'm describing with the same name
would you rather have group_subsequences()?
it should be called groupAdjacent

thanks, I can understand how it works, but I don't think C has -1 notation for arrays

props to people who can manage memory properly and design around it
>>54215732
What are you having trouble with, senpai?
>>54215732
>props to people who can
they can't unfortunately. People are notoriously bad at properly managing memory. If you plan to code in c or c++ you HAVE to learn to use valgrind. Although that's not a panacea either unfortunately.
>>54215806
designing good programs
I can write Fizzbuzz but not the 500 line project that is readable, efficient , and considers generality and or modularity
>>54215732
Avoid using global variables whenever possible and you won't have to deal with memory management problems.
>>54215850
What kind of program are you trying to write, I can give you some guidelines on how to modularize it desu
is 'String' functionally an 'array' of 'char's?
asking for java. but interested in answer for other languages as well
>>54215905
in the best languages
>>54215041
Sorry, was busy finishing this project.
Nah, Reddit's not my style. It sucks ass, actually
>>54215905
strings should be just an array of chars, not a defined type
>>54215610
so C would be a lot more complex obviously, but the conceptual idea is the same, and there must be some way of referencing the last/ultimate element in a string and/or other container. I'm not really familiar with C but I'd be surprised if there was nothing to this effect.
>>54215496
Okay, so in the 3 posts I can confidently attribute to you, you've made a point of bitching about the function name and offering nothing else to the problem itself.
You're exactly what they talk about when people complain about bikeshedding. You belong on an ineffectual committee, as far removed as possible from the people who work and get shit done.
>>54215905
yes, in Java, and most languages, a String is an array of chars.
I don't actually know of any that have a string as anything else
>>54215963
python I think
>>54215850
>>54215963
In Erlang, it's an array (List) of Integers.
>>54215963
so then, can i call the array natively?
string = "my name is bob"
from here can i just ask for the 2nd char?
or do i need to define the string as an array first and then ask the new array for its 2nd char?
>>54215963
Some scripting languages use ropes internally (although I believe most of them that do so still expose it in a way that looks like arrays in-language).
>>54215983
in C too
chars are just ints I think
>>54215983
A char is an integer anyways
>>54215983
>array (List)
reeee
>>54215958
If you use the C++ string class, you have access to the size() and length() methods.
For the last character in a string, you can then index it to str.length() - 1
Not too familiar with C yet. Want to learn it, but I assume you'd have to make a struct that emulates a class of string and stores an array of chars and counts them up to give you length.
>>54216009
C has an entire header for null terminated char arrays (C strings) and binary memory operations
you can literally just dostrlen(str) - 1
>>54215995
yes.
I actually did that in my Programming I class by accident. I didn't know about the at() function when we first started, so I just called it with brackets, and it worked fine. The string class actually overloads the operator[] to return the character, according to:
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/string/string/
>>54215958
> the problem itself
the problem itself doesn't exist. Dividing a string into a couple of substrings based on an extremely simple condition is only a problem to you, and only because you're retarded.
Misnamed functions are a problem that a lot of programmers deal with/contribute to, which actually should be pointed out when it happens. Bikeshedding here would be wasting time on writing out a solution to a non-existent "problem"
>people who work and get shit done
people who work and get shit done don't go to 4chan to ask to write a solution for every single smallest challenge they face, so it's not for you to judge who should work and who shouldn't.

case in point. I have never heard of that language, so therefore I did not know of it doing that.
I guess it'd make sense to store them as ints, though, so not too weird. But why a list?
