Oh, thanks. I didn't know MSVS Community was a thing. Though, looking at Mono, I think I'm gonna go with that, at least for the time being.

Don't. Unless you have some cryptic, esoteric reason for doing that, don't. VS is probably the best IDE you can get, period. And surely the best you can get for learning C#. There is no reason to choose Mono over VS I could think of, unless you don't have Windows machine. Also, since .NET stack is gonna go open soon (in a shocking plot twist), there will be even less reason to compile using Mono, too.

As a bonus bit of advice: www.dotnetperls.com is a great page to take a look at when you find some kind of problem during C# adventure. And good luck.

So I'm doing this exercise for myself. But I dunno which language muscle to work out.

I'm using c/c++ to put together and append to a data file based on the day's date, and feed information to it:

Code: [Select]

String double.value <variable strings> \newline
String double.value <variable strings> \newline
et cetera

This I can do just fine. The question is, what would be a good language to have read from the file and process the data? PERL? Java? C/C++?

I need to ba able to grab data like largest/average/least of the double value, the total count of each of the first strings, and the totals of each variable string, then output to a text/comma separated file.

[Reelya]

Yeah, some scripting language would be easier to do that than C++. Python, Perl or even JavaScript, which windows wscript can execute on a local windows box for example, without needing any addons. It's a better choice than VBScript if you're scripting on a Windows machine, because you can bet JavaScript is more portable than VB.

But if there was a huge amount of data to process each time, then implementing it in c/c++ would be more efficient in the long run.

[Gentlefish]

Wonderful, thanks. I'm already formulating it in PERL as we speak.

anyone know their way around setting up a .htaccess file for a server redirect using static/CGI/PHP-5.5? any chance you could direct me to a tutorial or something?

So, I want to get NumPy and I'm finding the various instructions on the internet a little vague.  I'm not even sure if I'm supposed to install it on my computer in general, or put the NumPy folder in my specific project folder or what.  Apparently setup.py in the NumPy folder is supposed to install it for me but I ran that and nothing visible happened except for a console popping up briefly. Trying to "import numpy" in my python code does not work, so I assume it is not installed.

What's the simplest way to do this?  Also if I have to install this thing how will anything I write using it work on someone else's computer?

Did you try invoking it from a console and looking what exactly setup.py prints? Anyway, it's been ages since I used that on windows, but I'm pretty sure there was an executable installer or at least a python egg.

Now the second one is a good question. I'm pretty sure there's ways to pack your script and everything it needs to run on a single, compact, executable, but I myself never touched them, so yeah, the simplest way is making everybody who wants to run your stuff get numpy too.

The simplest way to install any package for Python is using the pip package manager, if you installed Python 2.7.9 or Python 3.4 or later you already have it, if not there are instructions here on how to install it.

After you have pip you can just run

Code: [Select]

pip install numpyin your shell and it will install the latest version of numpy and any dependencies globally, usable by any script you use on your computer. (I think there are sandboxes available but I'm not sure, you probably don't want numpy in one of those anyway.) After that you can upgrade it to the latest version anytime one comes out by running

Code: [Select]

pip install --upgrade numpy
The full documentation for pip is here, it's a really useful tool!

EDIT: pip may not actually work for numpy, it seems like it's trying to build from source when I run the command in pip, so you'll probably have to use one of the prebuilt binaries. I don't know which one you need, so you'll need someone else to figure that out for you. pip's great for most packages though!

[EnigmaticHat]

Ok, I got numpy (by googling until a stack overflow answer directed me to the unofficial binaries).  I've also found a python-to-.exe program, no idea if it will work with numpy though as numpy seems to have different versions for every possible combination of python and os version.

There's a fairly logical stopping point where I can test if the numpy code is working properly.  I'll package the program there, then send it to some friends who have different OSs then me.  That way I'll know how if it works before I commit to writing a lot of numpy code.

I'm coding some tetris thing in C++ as practice, and I thought it was going well, until I tried to compile (hadn't compiled yet since there was nothing to look at anyway. Still isn't).
However, it throws a lot of errors that I don't even see the cause of. I'm building with MSVS, if that's any help. The first error is "syntax error : missing ';' before '*'" on line 33, which is just "block *tet = nullptr;". I don't see anything wrong with that.
(There's probably some legitimate errors with me doing stuff wrong that intellisense or w/e hasn't picked up, and the code is probably awful in places but I'm trying to do this without tutorials)

It appears you don't have the block struct defined before first call, and that's why it's asking for a ';' before the *tet on line 33.

Oh, goddamn >.<
Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the help.

S'what we're here for I've made many a stupid mistake like that. The difference is, I bang my head against the wall for hours and never ask for help.

When you get these two errors together in VC++:

error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '*'
error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int

It means that it doesn't know what the type you've used is, and has tried to use the type as the variable name (in old C "default-int" means if you left the type off it would assume "int" type).

Either move your "struct block" before the variables, or put in a forward declaration:

Code: [Select]

struct block;
C++ likes forward declarations a lot. A forward declaration allows any code that doesn't need to know the internals of the type to compile, so you can declare pointer variables but not instance variables or dereference said pointers, until the actual definition of the type is encountered.

Would be way more convenient if the code thingy here would show numbers.

Okay then.
Line 33: You have not yet declared what a block is.
Line 34: Same.
This is weird. WTF is this. "missing type specifier - int assumed." It just fucking assumes that block is an int. I just...
what.

Line 39: Have not yet declared what clear_box is. Seemingly still resolves it later. And then thinks that your "int inputarr[height][width]" is just an int.
I have no idea. I genuinely have no idea. I don't do template code, and I have absolutely no idea if this should even theoretically be a correct way to do them.

Line 60: Googling the problem reveals that you are using a compiler that doesn't fully conform to C++11. Either change compilers or don't do explicit initializers for arrays.

Line 87: create_tetromino hasn't been declared yet.

Line 98: Assuming that anything lying around is an int...ARGHBLA*foam starts spewing from mouth*

So most of these seem to stem from block not being declared yet.
