I am looking to see if there is an alternative to SDL that may fit my needs better. I am looking for a simple library to manipulate 2D primitives. Collision detection etc would be nice but I am not looking for a game engine, simply a way to easily manipulate squares.
Thanks

There is no such thing as only having one branch. Just put None where you don't want data

You'd say that since you've barely programmed, but it makes perfect sense for people who deal with logic gates a lot, which is common in programming

To anyone who wants to toggle, that is what they generally go for. It's pretty much English for 'toggle' after some use.
Just like &= is English for 'mask with'

>>54585532

>>54585606
no it would keep switching back and forth between true and false while you have the button pressed
>>54585625
similar issue as >>54585606
>>54585583
And when you realize you're losing an argument you resort to a endless stream of ad-hominems. There's literally nothing lost by using an if statement and it makes it that much easier to read for someone who hasn't seen that operator before, saving everybody time. But since using fancy operators to do trivial shit makes your dick hard and you'll never actually have a job, by all means keep doing it.
>>54585618
SFML is pretty comfy indeed
Anyone know how the C bindings are? C++ is just a mess.
>>54585590
Sounds weird. Could be anything. Personally, I experienced flicker when I had shitty rendering algorithms.

>>54585625
With the original guy's question, I believed you needed XOR. If you had 5 buttons10110
and you pressed the 3rd, you would XOR with00100
to get10010
Using ! would change it to01001
with more leading 1's based on the size of the data storing the button's state. Clearly that's toggling everything which is undesirable.
As you can see, XOR works in all cases, so using ! would seem like a random edgecase
>>54585583

>>54585721
sure, unless button can be for example 2, then you should have & (button != 0) instead of & button
and drop the semicolon inside the if statement conditional
class Laskin {
static void laske(String[] input) {
int tulos = Integer.parseInt(input[0]);
for (int i = 0; i < input.length; i++) {
if (i % 2 != 0) {
if (input[i] != "+") {
tulos = tulos + Integer.parseInt(input[i+1]);
}
else {
tulos = tulos - Integer.parseInt(input[i+1]);
}
}
}
System.out.print("Laskun ");
for (int i = 0; i < input.length; i++) {
if (i > 0) {
System.out.print(" ");
}
System.out.print(input[i]);
}
System.out.print(" tulos on " + tulos);
}
}
Here is my attempt at a terrible java plus minus-calculator (input from main is args, so its {1, +, 2, -, 3} or so). The part where they are either added up or substracted from the current "int tulos" is all substracted.
Why isn't my "if (input[i] != "+")" working?
>>54585747
I'll tulos your laskin
>>54585721
>if ((button != buttonPrev) & button;)
>{
> bool1 = !bool1;
>}
This will only toggle bool1 IF button is on
& is bitwise AND
&& is boolean AND
If button is off, and you toggle it, you'd get((button != buttonPrev) & button)
(0 != 1) & 0
0 & 0
0
which resolves to false
>>54585789
that's the point, you press it like a switch and it stays on, you press it again and it turns off
>>54585801
If it is off, and you turn it on, that condition resolves to false andbool1 = !bool1
is never called. Your button never toggles
>>54585816

>>54585838
what's wrong with having an average IQ? we gotta exist for you 140s to exist too
>>54585825
You're right, it's the other way around, it only toggles when you turn it on. Consider button being either 0 or 1 (currently on or off) and buttonPrev being either 0 or 1 (previously on or off due to the last line of code)button buttonPrev button != buttonPrev (x) x & button
0 0 0 0
0 1 1 0
1 0 1 1
1 1 0 0
The condition that callsbool1 = !bool1
is only 1 (that last column) when your button is previously off, but is now on in this step.
>>54585881
nothing wrong with it, but how fucking arrogant do you have to be to think you're a qualified professional programmer when you don't even know XOR, and to think that no one else is allowed to use such a core feature just because you're unable to understand it instantly with no effort. he's not even trying to learn and he's seemingly not even entertaining the possibility that he's not the best programmer in the world. just pisses me off with these idiotic "discussions" that we have several times a day in /dpt/

>>54585950
>it's like a light switch, you only want the light to turn on or off when you hit the switch
As you can see from that table, nothing changes when the button is not touched and when button is 0, but buttonPrev is 1 (previously on, but now switched off)buttonPrev => 1
button => 0
button != buttonPrev => 1 (true)
(button != buttonPrev) & button => 1 & button => 0
The condition doesn't evaluate to true, so like with the other conditions, nothing changes
So no, your solution is not equivalent to what you want.
>>54585997
>Java is better than C++
I don't know about that, chief.
>>54585789
okay let's start from the beginning
when I press it
buttonprev currently = 0
(1 != 0)
and the button is being pressed so
(1 != 0) and button == 1
everything is aight so it does the if
bool1 = !bool1
bool1 has now changed from 0 to 1 bool1 = 1
outside of the if it runs the next line
buttonPrev1 = button1;
so buttonprev1 = 1
now let's keep pressing it and loop back
((button1 != buttonPrev1) & button1 == 1)
(1 != 1) & button == 1)
1 = 1 so it doesn't do the if
if we're not pressing the button then 1 !=1 but button1 != 1
so the if doesn't run
then
buttonprev = button1
buttonprev now = 0
now let's loop back with buttonprev = 0 and button = 0
0 != 0 & button == 0
doesn't run the if
Hope you were able to follow this

thanks anon ;3
>>54586064
So per your 1st paragraph,you've confirmed it only does the if, if you are turning it on, but per your other paragraphs, it doesn't affect the if
So you only want to toggle bool1 if you turn it on? But not when you want to turn it off? That's exactly what I was saying, looking at the table, you are only reaffirming what I've shown. If you're certain that's what you want, go ahead
>>54586113

C, by definition and standard, is portable, it doesn't mean the low-level binary data you're reading from is going to be present in every OS, and win32api specifically talks to data that is windows-only
Also in C is int 32 bit?
And If I want a signed int to become negative i do (1 << 31) ?
>>54586245

>>54586280
Python is for cucks
>>54586280
Shouldn't it becuck[i].replace("('", "").replace("', '\n')
>>54586259
int is a nonstandardized side. You can find out its size in bytes with sizeof(int). On most systems it's 32 bits but if you really wanna be sure include inttypes.h and use int32_t
Make signed int negative like this: -1 * i. Don't overthink it maaan.
>>54586247
No what I mean is so there's name-mangling in c++ soint foo(int i)
gets mangled to a name of zfooz or ifooi or z_foo_z or int32_tfooint32_t depending on your compiler. This is bad for OS's since it means everything (including userspace) has to be compiled with the same compiler otherwise the binaries won't link.
>>54586373
wow nvm, what are you doing senpaicuck[i].replace("(", "").replace("", "\n")
don't mix " and '
>>54586341
findall returns a list iirc, which in str form is [ not (
>>54586280
it does work, you just aren't printing cuck
and if that doesn't work try this:
split it to an actuaal array
then do this:
i=0
for elements in arr:
array[i]=elements.replace('penis'),('cuck')
i+=1
ids not that complicated
>>54586390

jk, but why
If I need to pass data between different classes, how should I do it? Should I have them all send it via an "overseer" class or have some kind of seperate event handler that knows about all the instantiated classes and recieves and sends data from/to them? I assume it's bad practice to have classes all knowing about and interacting with each other?
This is in the context of a GUI application with a lot of sub-windows and frames that are all seperate classes.
>>54586420
>jk, but why
The string begins with ", it must be closed with "
' inside it is just a normal character as " is not '. I don't think there are many languages that do some weird voodoo nested quotes shit, it just doesn't make sense

>>54586425

>>54586425
In that situation you would in your event handler call a function that gets data from one class and passes it to another.
>>54586441
that's what i mean tho, on the second replace he does " and then ', wouldn't that leave it open and throw an error?

well you can only access static variables across classes, yes?
You make a class that has something like

then every time you want to update that from any function you can do that, then call it from another one.
Unless you're talking about sending arrays or something, which is harder.
statics classes usually have static functions too though yes

Cleaned up UI more and improved stability. Finally have free time to fix it up more after 23 fucking credit semester is done.
Next feature is to have resizability and scaling with it, mostly to see the artists that have really long track/artist/album names.
It will be such a bitch to implement in Tkinter though, i'm thinking about abandoning it all together for PyQt 4. So lazy though.
Any suggestions?

Haha holy shit.
I'm working on a C# project for my class and it's done, but I wanted to fix a small problem I had with it.
It won't affect my grade, but I still want to figure out the problem because it's driving me nuts.
Basically, I'm trying to have people search for a book title, I got it to work, but it's case sensitive.
How can I make it case insensitive?
Here's my Program.cs code as a reference, I'm not going to include my other class tab.using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace Test3

Books book2 = new Books("2222222222222", "The Catcher in the Rye", "J. D. Salinger", 222 , "Realistic Fiction");
Books book3 = new Books("3333333333333", "The Lord Of the Rings", "J. R. R. Tolkien", 333 , "High Fantasy/Adventure");
string response = "go";
while (response != "stop")
{
Console.WriteLine("Search for a book by title, press 'Enter' to show all books, or input 'stop' to stop searching.");
response = Console.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine();
if(book1.Title.Contains(response))
{
Console.WriteLine("ISBN: {0} \n" +
"Title: {1} \n" +
"Author: {2} \n" +

What was the issue? Were there any errors?
You can try the other answer in there as well:
if (book1.Title.IndexOf(response, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) >=0) {
Console.WriteLine()
}
>>54587882
name another language that does. Don't include languages that only allow you to overload operators like C++ or C#

Maybe not portable on compilers that lack c99 mode. Luckily I've never had to work on satellites from the 70's with closed source compilers.

operators make it quicker and more intuitive to express certain functions, especially mathematical ones
for example |x| instead of abs(x) or 2i instead of new Complex(0, 2)
>>54587888
That one worked perfectly, thank you so much!
Do you know why there's a ">=0" after the closing parenthesis?
I tried using it without that and it didn't work, but it did once I put it in, I wasn't sure what it was referring to.

IndexOf returns an integer of the index where it found the string you are looking for - if its greater than or equal to zero, it means the string was found inside your book title, if it returns anything less than 0 (e.g. -1) it means it wasn't found.
>=0 is the conditional that will be resolved on the if statement (true or false - it was either found or not)
>>54588096

Top kek. So is |x| absolute value, 1-norm, euclidean norm, 3-norm or infinity norm? Guess I have to check the documentation.
>>54588130
This guy wouldn't count Scheme because everything's prefix and requires parentheses.

>>54588199
Why can't it be all of them?
The only argument I've heard against operator overloading that sort of holds water is that, in contrast to "normal" functions, operators are expected to have algebraic properties.
As long as you ensure that, there's no issue.
>>54588199
>>54588294
Well, I suppose while you can only have one instance of the norm for scalars, there are (infinitely) many possibilities for anything higher-dimensional. But those are already disambiguated in ordinary notation, so they would be anyways in the code.
You could have a generic norm that takes a function computing the norm as a subscript, where the norm part just talks about the algebraic properties.
>>54588294
Was going through a tutorial and it said that including the gdi32 library was necessary. But I don't think I even have a library called gdi32 first of all, and secondly how would I know that unless it was told to me? It doesn't seem evident in my code or the errors at all (which just reference the first library).
So my question is how do you debug such things? How do you figure out which flags you need to compile properly if it's not self-evident in the code?

try to practice loops inside loops
also write out initial values for all the variables and try to step through what needs to happen to them, sometimes that helps
>>54588515
See >>54588424.
I suppose the biggest limitation is that there aren't any languages that transcend plain ASCII (and sometimes Unicode) text for syntax. So operators are very limited.
Except Epigram. Epigram is neat.

In the end I think trying to write code that looks like math symbols is a horrible pursuit. Things that are procedures should be look like procedures.

Split up the file by "\n" characters or whitespace or whatever and then apply your one address function to each smaller string.

Yes, but norm is a function, and it has algebraic properties.
>Math's syntax isn't something to be admired; it's pretty fucking awful and nonstandard and that's why every math paper has a long introduction defining the syntax.
Same for code. Every language and library has different conventions. You can't solve this problem.

I was going to do that, but I also need to print a result and then it would print in all lowercase, which I don't want.

>>54588692
What? Just keep around the capitalized name and only use the lowercase version to check against.
>>54588664
Algebraic properties can be used for procedures. Algebra is not solely defined in terms of the syntax taught in high school.
Here's the distributive law in Scheme's syntax:(* (+ a b) c)
-->
(+ (* a c) (* b c))
I disagree about the bit of code syntax being awful. Math syntax is awful. C++ syntax is awful. Languages which try to emulate math syntax are awful. But there exists languages with good syntax, like Scheme.
Fuck math syntax.

I guess if it automatically bookmarks shit for you based on how often you frequent pages, it should apply to more than just stackoverflow.
>>54585405

>>54588780
Well, you can bookmark the page yes, but the plugin would organize these questions / answers.
I guess you could just organize your bookmark folders, but my thing is this: I have a few stack overflow questions bookmarked for syntax shit I always screw up on, but I hate having to go through all that clicky clicky.
It would be cool if I had an interface that just showed a question, and the answer I want.
>>54588713
If you're going to call everything a procedure and then declare that there is a god-given way to write procedures, you're not saying much.
And I understand that, but all I brought up algebra for was to address the common gripe about operator overloading. The mentality that "symbols mean math therefore algebra" is quite prevalent, and it sort of makes sense because it's how you can quickly interpret expressions like x+y*z.
I personally don't like to distinguish between "functions" and "operators" either, but I also don't want to limit it to prefix notation because that adds a lot of verbosity. Mixfix in plain text can be too ambiguous, so I want a language that can look like Epigram.

I have to check the syntax for svn changelist every time I'm about to commit a changelist. No idea why, it just wont stick in my head for some reason.
I could take a screen shot of the stack overflow question / answer for quick visual grepping.
I could bookmark the page, but that's annoying.
I guess the autist in me is calling. It's my first side project for something this insignificant, but it truly irks me when I have to go to stack overflow for a question that I check every 2 days
>>54588821
I'm not saying that Scheme is the only way to write. I'm saying I like Scheme's syntax.
In fact I'm saying that the typical math syntax is not the only way to write. I only offered Scheme's syntax as an alternative.

/dpt/ I have a dumb question on pointers since this thread is pointer themed.
Should I always use a pointer to a type instead of the type itself if I am passing it around a lot but never modifying it? Is there any reason not to do this? Copying large amounts of data for each pass seems like a big waste of time and memory if I'm just going to be reading values from a struct.
>>54589094
pass-by-const-reference exist
>>54589094
It saves the cost of the copy, but it adds the cost of dereferencing the pointer.
>>54589094
It depends on how large the object is. A pointer on a typical computer is 64 bits.
>>54589094
>>54589117
Maybe I shouldn't say the cost of dereferencing, rather an extra layer of pointer indirection in general.
Since the AI general isn't up, can anyone here recommend starting points for educating myself on things such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning? I have some free time now so I feel like learning something new.
>>54589113
The particular thing I'm working on isn't in C++.
>>54589117
>>54589159
So that's strictly a logical concern for the programmer and not the program itself right? Derfeferencing should always be less instructions than a typical copy/pass, is that right?
>>54589146
So as long as the type in question is larger than the length of an address it would be better to use a reference instead of a copy if I can, right?
>>54589094
L1 cache is 64 bytes. If the copy of all the data you're passing around can fit in there then don't do it.
>>54589214
Instruction count is basically irrelevant to the actual cost.
There's no hard-and-fast rule that says whether to use one or the other. It's more of an issue in C++ than C because in C++ an implicit copy can incur more than just a memcpy, which can trip beginners up.
Basically, it probably won't affect the performance enough for you to care, and if it does, just profile both and pick whichever is empirically better.
>>54589214
>So as long as the type in question is larger than the length of an address it would be better to use a reference instead of a copy if I can, right?
greater than double the size of a pointer, since a pointer to something would be pointer size (64 bits) + the struct size in memory. If the struct is 2 integers there's no point.
>>54589214
>Derfeferencing should always be less instructions than a typical copy/pass, is that right?
Take this into account:
1) when you take a reference, you are passing around 4 bytes of memory.
2) Dereferencing adds additional instructions EVERY TIME you dereference, while copying only happens once.
3) Premature-optimization is the root of all evil. If you're losing sleep over it, then make a rule of thumb, e.g. "if it's larger than 12 bytes, use a reference" or even "always use a reference for structs".
>>54585050
I will just stick to using new :^)
