I originally attempted the char[] approach, but my compiler (Dev-C++) constantly returned an error the minute I attempted to do any type of mathematical operation. And I do actually like the algorithmic approach. I will give it a try. Thanks!

Hello again, I have a lab assignment in my C++ class that asks me to do the following: -Create an application that prompts the user for two 3-digit numbers, then display the result in the following format: ex. 456 x 433 --------- 1368 13680 182400 --------- 197448 The problem I am having is the method I'm trying to use. I am using the carry over technique, and I need a way to split up the 3-digit numbers into single numbers, then multiply/carry/add accordingly Anything unclear let me know, Thanks!

I did not dive too deep into it. To be honest, I forgot about it XD I'll take another look :P

hmm It's difficult for me to know how to ask, as I have virtually no experience with any form of Assembly Language (C++ guy) I always though of assembler as a series of statements such as: mov ax,bx push ax or something similar. For someone wanting to learn how to get down to that machine level, is there a specific way I should look say, for example, I wanted to learn about how to work on an Intel-ran system? (Apologies if I just asked the same question, I am truely lost) Thanks!

Hello, I recently came across The Art of Assembly Language, which I found in my Programming Compendium. Anywho, I noted something odd, the author programs in an "HLA Language", which I have never heard of before o.o As a wannabe systems programmer, I feel a strong need to learn assembly, but is this HLA the right way to go? If not, what texts would you suggest I learn from? Thanks!

Aha, thank you very muc :D

Thank you Cedrick! I now have a better understanding of that aspect :] David: I believe that is what I am referring to :O How would I go about doing that? If there is documentation somewhere that I could be pointed to, please share so I dont bother you with typing out a long example :] Thank you for the fast replies as well! :]

Good day all :] Hopefully this is in the right section T__T :) A particular topic has really been getting to me lately, programming files with custom extensions. For example, lets say I have a file with a lot of important data pertaining to a program. I obviously dont want this accessible to the world, so I want to create my own file type, such as data.rid (really important data for the acronym :p) How would I go about doing something like that? I know it's simple enough to just rename a file, but how would I actually make it work with a program? Cheers! -Dia

Alright, basically I am trying to create a function that does the following: The user has a rank The possible ranks a user can have are stored in an array ("RankTree()") The Public Sub in the class is called Promote(Byval Position As String) My problem is that I'm trying to make the sub find the index of the user's rank in RankTree, then move foreward one index, and set the user's Position (Dude.Position) to the next rank in the array. How do I go about doing this?
