Figuring out how to write a script in Bash & Python that will get the 5 most recent anime episodes from my Videos folder, insert them into my main playlist file w/ (hopefully) the correct syntax & all, and then execute the playlist for me w/ mpv.

I need to discipline myself to learn C, gaymes keep getting in the way!

Just to actually be clear (and spoonfeed you) the -> operator is performing an additional dereference.
Therefore that line is equivalent to:++(**current).value;
>>55034113

>>55034129
No it's not. It's equivalent to++(*((*current).value));

Seems legit.
>>55034220
C should make illegal any expression involving more than 2 operators without parentheses
>>55034230
If you don't know the language's operator precedence rules you should not be allowed to program.
>>55034220
>You wouldn't be some kind of unhelpful cunts who only post to correct others and feel smug would you?
I tried to help the original asker, but to make sure I was totally correct, I asked for the type of 'current' (value might be a pointer).
He didn't respond though.
>>55034230
Or you know, just include in the coding style that people should always use brackets to make things as clear as possible. Oh wait...
From the fucking original K&R it suggests leaving a space before and after all mathematical operators too, and yet you still see faggots leaving them out because they want to save columns.
People will always do stupid shit, not making the C syntax as strict as fucking possible was not the worst by a long shot.

>>55034035

You made that a pointer to int. It doesn't work if you have a pointer to struct that contains an int unless you deference.

>>55034426
>You made that a pointer to int.
Obviously since that's what the expression implied.
If the struct member is not a pointer it should look like this:
++p->value
>>55034426
Still waiting for your declaration of current you shitposting doublenigger
>>55034456
In C++ it's different though. If you have a pointer to object that contains an int, to increment it with pointer notation, you need to use ++*objectptr->intvar.
In C when I make a pointer to struct with an int I can't use ++*structptr->intvar.

Hi 4chan.. autistic question here... does anyone know why CW_USEDEFAULT is define as 0x80000000 but read as 128 decimal (is readed backwards)... but when i define in my own console app it is readed forward...
>>55034537
But I didn't. So I'm guessing that in C++, at least with objects, *objectptr->intvar is the equivalent of dereferencing to intvar's value.
While in C it's the equivalence of dereferencing intvar.

Well, the fact that anon wants a batch script obviously means he wants some sort of scripting language he can use on his Windows machine without having to install something else, like Ruby or Python. Powershell, while not the best shell language, is relatively tolerable to program in, and completely obsoletes batch, so long as you don't need to program for a Windows XP or earlier machine.

If you aren't the one who administrates the system, you can't always install new software to get the job done. If you want to write code on a Windows system which you do not have control over the available installed software, your available tools are Batch, Powershell, VBScript, VB.NET, JScript.NET, C#, and JavaScript (in browser).

So newbie assembly man here. So I've got it opening a file, and when the files opened it tosses each line into a list in c++.
I then want to take each line and parse through it, clearing out spaces, all comments (anything past a //) and basically storing each value as it's own pair in a new list so..text
addu $s0,$zero,$zero //whatever
addu $s1,$zero,$zero
addiu $v0,$zero,5
syscall
sw $v0,n($gp)
as placed in the std::list gets seperated and filed according to it's segment. So Instruction (addiu, j, sw, syscall) gets gets stored as an instruction, $v0, n, $gp, get stored as arguments to that instruction, and together they form a new element in a different container based on (instruction, argument, argument, argument).
tl;dr version: Can I use an array for list elements when converting and parsing. So List<int[3]> ParsedFile?
Here's my code#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <fstream>
#include <list>
using namespace std;
/*typedef struct Line
{ //stores string after upon parse
}*/
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
list<string> asmFile;
string filename;
string line;
ifstream inData; //open ifstream for file input
cout << "Enter file name : ";
cin >> filename;
inData.open(filename.c_str()); // open file
if ( inData.is_open() )
{
cout << "File successfully opened." ;
while (getline(inData, line))
{
asmFile.push_back(line); //Puts file into a list (asmFile) by each newline
}
//**Displays list for debugging/clarity**//
/* list<string>::iterator i;
for( i = asmFile.begin(); i != asmFile.end(); ++i)
cout << *i << endl ;
cout << endl; */
list<string>::iterator i;

/dpgt/ I need some serious advice.
I'm really starting to think that programming just isn't for me. I REALLY like programming, don't get me wrong. I spent 5 hours straight yesterday working on an IRC bot, but I've been doing this for like 2 years now, and today I had a bad problem.
Today I decided to give UpWork and Freelancer a look, and I could not do ANY of the things these people were asking for, and it was the most emasculating feeling ever.
Like here,
>Write a program to test the maximum upload speed to Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, etc.
Okay, that sounds simple, but I have absolutely no idea where to start with that. At all.
Maybe I just don't have the problem solving aptitude or whatever. This shit really makes me scared because having a job in programming, what if I just can't do the challenges that a programmer must face on a day to day basis?
Am I just overthinking this? Is it OK to not know how to do that shit?
>>55036336
A lot of freelance programming work boils down to knowing about a particular program or platform, rather than actually being good at building shit from scratch. A bunch of the work I got On Elance boiled down to me actually owning a Raspberry Pi, of all things.
For example:
>Write a program to test the maximum upload speed to Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, etc.
Obviously this would require you to upload then download a small testfile to each of those services and report how long it takes, But tio do that would require spending a significant amount of time reading the API documentation (assuming they have one) for those services, and testing to make sure that you understand those APIs. Viewing a job like that as a pure programming task is unhelpful, because actually putting together the script would be the quickest part of the entire job,
Also:
>Maybe I just don't have the problem solving aptitude or whatever.
Problem solving is a skill, you need practice to get any good at it.

People will probably shit talk you but that is exactly how I got started. I had downloaded the Half Life SDK (which was C++) and wanted to understand the source. Grabbed Sam's Teach Yourself C++ in 24 Hours from a sale at a Borders. That book was meant as a primer for people who already knew programming but I managed to work through all the chapters. It was about 2002.
I wound up really liking programming, went to school for CS and found out that I really liked math as well. Now I work as a dev on a fairly large system.
People will suggest other languages but I don't think it really matters what you start with. You could spend days reading opinions about what is the best language to start with but that time would probably be better spent actually learning how to program.

generally they will include some keywords that if you are truly clueless you can literally GOOGLE, otherwise hopefully you have prior experience and can fill in the gaps with reading through documentation (there is a lot of documentation you can find through GOOGLE)
>how do you think about the code beforehand
look at similar projects' source code (that you find through GOOGLE), break the problem down into small steps. "programming" is similar to solving a math problem like you did in school, part of it is rote knowledge the teacher has given you, part is some ingenuity on your part

Just replace the std::list with a std::vector.
A std::vector gives you random access and guarantees everything is stored contiguously in memory.
In C when passing a pointer by reference as a function argument is there a difference between:
1) prototyping the function with "type** pointer" as an argument and passing "&pointer" to it
and
2) prototyping the function with "type* pointer" as an argument and passing just "pointer" to it
Both seem to work identically.
>>55038237
Why would you ever pass a pointer by reference?
That's just an extra dereference for no good reason.
>>55038259
Because this example (http://geeksquiz.com/linked-list-set-3-deleting-node/) did it that way for the "deletenode" function and I didn't understand why but it worked.
So I tried it the second way (without the **) and it worked. I'm wondering what the difference is.
>>55038272
It allows you to modify the pointer which exists outside of your function, whereas with the simple method you are copying it and you can't affect the original. Now think again about deletenode and reread it thoroughly
>>55038259
>Why would you ever pass a pointer by reference?
>That's just an extra dereference for no good reason.
Duh! Pointers are values, dummass

Is it necessary though? Even when I don't pass the pointer by reference the node deleting still works. I just wrote it as:void deletenode(int n, struct node* head) {
struct node* temp = head;
struct node* prev;
while (temp->index != n) {
prev = temp;
temp = temp->next;
}
prev->next = temp->next;
free(temp);
}

You don't ever change the temp pointer, so that function works fine with just a struct node*
>>55038319
Try deleting the first node
>>55038319
>>55038336
Oh wait, you change it to the last, ignore me.
Yeah you do want to pass struct node** because you want to modify struct node*
Wish C had reference types

I don't care what you have to say because if the phrase "pointers are just values" is ever part of what you are saying then it is clear you likely don't have a very thorough understanding, like when OSGTP says that 'monads are just monoids in the category of endofunctors'
>>55038345
>Yeah you do want to pass struct node** because you want to modify struct node*
In this context does modify mean modify what the outside pointer comes too? In this case why does it work then? I'm just having my trouble wrapping my head around ** arguments.
>>55038414
You're passing a T* because you want to modify the T pointed to
In this case, you're pointing a (T*)* because you want to modify a T*
>>55038379
Except it wasn't my only post, and it's a saying that sums it up nicely.
Here's a syllogism4u
If pointers point to values, and pointers are just values, then pointers can point to pointers that can point to pointer that can point to pointers that can point to pointers... and this, kiddo, is how you create life, the stars *** and everything
>>55038237
There are no references in C. Your first case passes a pointer to a pointer to a type, i.e the address of the pointer. If you want to modify the pointer itself (not the value it points to) you would have to pass in a pointer to a pointer. In both cases you can modify the value of type, but only in the first one can you modify where pointer points to.

>>55038447
If I'm not modifying where the pointer points to my code shouldn't work, but for some reason it does. If I reprint the list after running the function the node will be removed.
>>55038538
No it doesn't work in all cases. It does have a bug.
Which node?

The project I started on and the biggest one is a realtime imageboard (you see posts as they are typed). I've been slowly rewriting/expanding it in Go/TypeScript since December. Should be able to get it to beta quality by the end of summer.

>how do you manage to read technical books without raging because of the buzzwords?
I read them slow and carefully. They are not story books that you read to enjoy action. I usually read books in the evenings. I can read 100-150 pages of normal book without a problem but for a tech related one it's good when i read 40 pages in one go.(unless its not some trivial subject i already know)
Focus on examples.
Make sure you understand what you just read.
If you catch yourself on forgeting what you read 1 page ago - go back, read again.
Whenever there is one word you have no clue about, technology you never heard of - google immiedietly. Same applies if you are not reading in your native language.
If you are falling asleep give it a break, you will not learn anymore during that session.
Works for me.
>>55038578
It doesn't work for the first node because I didn't write it to handle the first node, but if it's not modifying what anything points to why does it work when it comes to successfully deleting any of the other infinity nodes?
>>55038612
There aren't infinity nodes?
>>55038538
Is >>55038319 your function? What happens if the node you want to delete is the head or the tail?
>>55038612
It should work for the first node, otherwise your code is incorrect. Now agreed, you don't need a double pointer in this case, but you need a double pointer in the correct version

In regex, how do I match "he", but not "she"?
I tried "(^s)he". However, this also matches the character in front of it. Meaning that a space or other character has to be in front of it to work. Writing he on a new line will get no match.

How does that help?
Is there any good minimal and effective ways to program?

Sup, guys. I'd like to know the best guide to C++ programming. I tried googling but it returned so many results that I thought it would be more efficient asking you nerds. I have a little experience with Java, Javascript, Python and some C. What book or tutorial you did to make understand C++ better, /dpt/?

What features do you need exactly? You can't really circumvent the OS for certain operations but you can take a look at the Native API https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_API and some undocumented NTAPI functions.

I managed to solve the problem by doing a double replacement. In the worst case scenario, this will result in two useless replacements, but the text is only one sentence, so processing time shouldn't be a concern.
>>55038842
Programming is one of the only things you can learn without spending money, don't fuck that up by wasting money on a meme degree. Just because you don't have a degree, doesn't mean you're stuck in web dev. Be an autodidact and after you've learned the ropes, throw yourself in the deep end by doing shitty freelance work until you get good enough to apply for jobs or find decent clients. IMO the best programmers don't do programming degrees, they do other STEM degrees and learn programming by taking problems from their chosen field and solving them with code.

From what I can see, the webdev market is saturated with pajeets and chinks who will do the same job for 10 cents / hour. Not that every other tech market is too far behind, but still, hungry programmers have to eat... Also javascript is evil.

guys,
I'm going to be offline for a long time,
i'm thinking of downloading tutorial point pdfs,
but they don't seem to be up to date at all.
so i looked more into things, and i found this "offline" version.
i had experience with one offline version of w3schools, of which was about 5 mbs and expanded to gigs and covered that whole site.
back then and to this moment i have no idea whether it contained a virus or not.
so do you recommend downloading an "offline" version of tutorials point or any other site?
what should i watch out for?

I made a quick series limit checker to check whether my math practice results are correct.
Is there any easy way to make the user input a formula, kind of like in wolfram alpha, and then use that for calculation? So I won't have to enter the formula into the sourcecode every time and recompile.
This sounds incredibly complicated, or am I just overthinking it?

for the time being you could write a higher order function (a function taking a function as a parameter) and make the code a bit cleaner, something liketypedef struct { int i; double d; } Int_Double;
Int_Double converge(double (*fn)(double)) {
double sum = 0.0, i = 0.0, lastsum = -1.0;
while (lastsum != sum && i != 10000000) {
// incidentally, never compare doubles or floats with ==/!=
// always do a range check like checking they're less than 0.001 apart
lastsum = sum;
sum += fn(i);
++i;
}
Int_Double result;
result.i = i;
result.d = sum;
}
double SeriesExample(double i) {
return pow(-1.0, i+1.0) * (1.0 / pow(2.0, i - 1.0));
}
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
Int_Double result = converge(SeriesExample);
double
sum = result.d,
i = result.i;
if ((i == 100...
...
return 0;
}

}

I made an enum class, specified uint8_t as the type.
I made a vector of structs, one of that struct's members was defined as uint8_t.
Later on:
if(!string.compare(other string))
vector[element].structmember = ENUM;
Compiler says it can't convert enunname to uint8_t, then tells me to fuck off. However, little does it seem to know, no conversion is required, for it is already an unsigned char.
Why.
>>55040148
The point of an enum class is it isn't actually an enum, unless you use weak typing by addressing, casting & dereferencing
Switch to a regular enum if you want to treat it as an enum (in the sense of using it as an integer)
Underlying representation for enum classes is basically size & optimisation stuff
>>55040146
>>55040065
I'm pretty much a beginner in C, so I have some trouble.
Didn't learn about structs yet, but I guess it's a way to contain multiple values in one struct, so you can return multiple values in one go.
How doesdouble SeriesExample(double i) {
return pow(-1.0, i+1.0) * (1.0 / pow(2.0, i - 1.0));
}
and
(*fn)
andsum += fn(i);
work?
