Replace numbers with words?

I'm doing the best I can do my own homework, I've read over 40 pages in my textbook today trying to figure this shit out. And I'm stuck. Looking at your recent post, you seem to be interested in putting people down or posting useless messages. What do you think tutors are for? Helping with their homework, not doing it for them. And I need a tutor! I'm not asking people to do my homework. If you can't help, don't say nothing.

I guess the difference is how you ask the question. First such answers are easily googleable. Second if you need a tutor rather than the answer, admit it up front. You'll get far less guff about it than if you admit later it is a homework assignment after someone has done the work for you. And you will get a better answer from one of the regulars demonstrating the methods without giving you the answer. You'll learn more and be more capable of a programmer. Half of programming is learning where to find the answers. It doesn't matter if you have been programming 1 month or 10 years, you will find something beyond your skill on occasion. What you do and how you do it shows your character and skill both. Thus the trouble you are getting from a few members (and you are actually lucky you got the answers). Some people are interested in getting the vote and giving you the answers because they want to get enough votes to be MVP. They are hurting you for their own benefit. Eventually you will not have them to give you an answer, so how do you find the answer? A tutor teaches you how to fish so that you can catch your own meal, not hands you a fish. So far I have seen no one showing you how to fish. I am sure you are overjoyed at that now, but eventually you will not have that person to turn to, and you will be lost. No guff from me, only a word of caution: you are only hurting yourself. Next time ask for some one to give you the technique without the answer. One of the regulars, or even one of the MVP wannabes will help you in a way that benefits you, not them.

My prof. assigned it too me. I know this crap is hard. The first 2 assignment was a piece of cake, but the third I'm really stuck on. he never showed me how to convert number to words before.

No it's not. And that's not an insult - it really isn't. You have a classic assignment - it shows up in the first couple of weeks in hundreds of textbooks and courses based on them. And you've been assigned it to teach you something. Of course you can just pull the answers off of a web site, but then what have you learned? And so i repeat, it's not hard. But if you don't spend the time learning from your course work, you'll find the hard tasks impossible when eventually you do encounter them. Just a fair warning...

If you look at my above post, I'm actually thanking the people that helped me. I've posted two threads here today, each has a post by toxcct and they were rude comments. But thanks any ways.
But he has done a lot of good works to help the beginners come up here. Even I'm one of them. So if you don't know someone completely, just don't comment seeing a few strong messages from them. Yeah he needs to be tough! expects so much of disciplines in the forum. Without him, I'm sure the forum would look a little degraded. He has certainly helped to filter out a lot of stupid questions. Getting his strong comment, one would be afraid to post a similar one next time. He wants the problem to be explained properly,but that doesn't mean that he is required to answer every question that he had asked to be proper. That would atleast help someone to understand the problem better and give a definite answer to it. So either ways he's helping the forum to keep a neat line. It's very unfortunate that you've just joined the forum and talking so rude against a senior member of the same. Anyway I wish you'd get the point and have a nice stay. Just f*ck off.:| -- modified at 10:45 Wednesday 26th September, 2007

So what people say is actually true... French are asses! Your no help in this forum. I've got so many great helps from others and I thank you, but yours is below helpful. toxcct should be demoted. :laugh:
OMG! I missed to read this.Well then, you should ignore my previous message. That was meant for someone who shows respect for others. You need a stronger treatment. , Ok, read my previous message again.

I'm beginning C++. When I put a year, it calculate a month and day (ex. 5 23) for a particular holiday. How do I convert these numbers into words. (ex. March Twenty Three) Am I suppose to use individual functions or if-else statement? How is it done? Thanks.
For months, do what NS17 mentioned. For the numbers, you can use this function I wrote many moons ago.... http://www.codeproject.com/string/numword.asp[^]

Oh, I'm sure you'll be getting a lot of help here in the future. :rolleyes: Really, don't get pissed off if we don't do your homework for you. I only posted my link because it was already there (you could try doing a search you know) and took me like two seconds. I wouldn't have gone out of my way for your homework either. And here's something funny, try COMMUNICATING with your professor about it. Maybe he'll give you pointers. I know it's crazy, but sometimes using your mouth for good works too.

Except the solutions that show up in beginner texts usually suck and don't scale well. *cough* *cough* (plugging my poor, lonely article ;)).
