What happened to the int 2 str article?

Code4Food

I was going to incorporate that into some code I am writing in house... :) You guys really bashed the crap out of that one. I almost felt bad for him for writing it and posting it. Maybe he didn't know about _itoa and such, and thought he created the best thing since sliced bread! I hope he is not depressed, but reading once through "C++ for dummies" does not make you a programmer, you need to at least read it twice. We will probably see him in the VB site now.

I hate it when Chris does that! It takes away from my post count dramatically. ;) [update]Oh...I just found out that it doesn't...cool. :rolleyes:[/update]

I noticed that - but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that an article poster has a certain level of competance - after all, these articles are by and large guides for people unfamiliar with a particular technology or an application of that tech. -- Ian Darling

True I believe quality of articles should be held to their highest standard, but in his defense he did say that it was a "Beginner" article. Code4Food ---- "There is no try; only do or do not" -Yoda

'Beginner' articles are for beginners, not necessarily by beginners. cheers, Chris Maunder

OK point taken :-O You do want to keep high quality articles here at CP :) But are we going, or should I say you :), move to a point where only articles with a 3 or higher or what not are kept on the site? Code4Food ---- "There is no try; only do or do not" -Yoda

Where can I read this article? I want to check if submited by me is better? "...Ability to type is not enough to become a Programmer. Unless you type in VB. But then again you have to type really fast..." Me

Thats what we are talking about it is gone. I don't know if it was the guy who deleted it, cause he was getting reamed, or if the almight Chris did :) Code4Food ---- "There is no try; only do or do not" -Yoda

It might be something you post in big red letters at the top of the article posting thing (or whatever it is you do, I haven't written any articles :-)) I had an idea for an article, but I thought it was too silly: "A practical introduction to web services in .NET" , drawing on RFC 2795[^] as inspiriation for what the example service(s) did :-D. -- Ian Darling

.. because in austria (and in germany) the sign for the decimal point is "," (in most other countries "."). the problem is that it depends on the locale setting. now we really had some strange effects with the locale's setting (connectiong to our database changed these settings, due to an error in a lib). so we wrote something like: (without looking into the code)

string s = any_number;
s.change_all_dots_to_commas();
d1 = atof (s);
s.change_all_commas_to_dots();
d2 = atof (s);
if (any_number > 0)
  return max (d1,d2)
else
  return min (d1,d2)

hope you get the point. and it makes sense... cause now all our programs work perfectly.
