I don't mean to sound rude, but this is the 3rd time you have posted this question, but you have never explained anything. All your posts(sadly not just in this topic) seem to be the equivalent of "My program doesn't work, why not?" To which others ask "What is your program, how is it written, what are you trying to do?" To which you start a new thread and again post "My program doesn't work, why not?" You will never get a valid answer if nobody knows what the hell you are on about! If you want somebody to post the code to your assignments on the web you have to try a little harder than that.:zzz: When I die I'd like to go peacefully in my sleep like my father, not screaming in terror like his passengers!!!

there's no need to repost the question exactly as previous time !! if no one answered you, it's because we don't understand what you're talking about... please elaborate more (with a better english if you can).

What language are you programming in ? ~RaGE();

Is 'asdf' valid? I thought single quotes only applied to single characters?

I am still laughing, at least I told him not to post that again. INTP Every thing is relative...

'5' for the rest... :cool::rose:

Here is an example of how to use std::sort: ------------------------------------------- #include #include #include using namespace std; // Our data. struct Blah { Blah(int Type, const char* pName) : m_Type(Type), m_pName(pName) { } int m_Type; const char* m_pName; }; // Print out a blah. ostream& operator<<(ostream& s, const Blah& b) { s << "Type: " << b.m_Type << ", Name: \"" << b.m_pName << "\""; return s; } // Sort functors. struct SortByType { bool operator()(const Blah& l, const Blah& r) const { return l.m_Type < r.m_Type; } }; struct SortByName { bool operator()(const Blah& l, const Blah& r) const { return strcmp(l.m_pName, r.m_pName) < 0; } }; struct SortByTypeThenName { bool operator()(const Blah& l, const Blah& r) const { return SortByType()(l, r) | (!SortByType()(r, l) && SortByName()(l, r)); } }; // The data. Blah g_Blahs[] = { Blah(1, "George"), Blah(2, "Liam"), Blah(2, "Hank"), Blah(0, "Abigail"), Blah(1, "Bob"), Blah(0, "Jessica"), Blah(2, "Con"), Blah(1, "Kyle"), Blah(0, "Faye") }; int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { Blah* pBegin = &g_Blahs[0]; Blah* pEnd = &g_Blahs[sizeof(g_Blahs)/sizeof(g_Blahs[0])]; ostream_iterator oi(cout, "\n"); // Sort by type. cout << "Type:\n"; sort(pBegin, pEnd, SortByType()); copy(pBegin, pEnd, oi); cout << "\n"; // Sort by name. cout << "Name:\n"; sort(pBegin, pEnd, SortByName()); copy(pBegin, pEnd, oi); cout << "\n"; // Sort by type and name. cout << "Type and name:\n"; sort(pBegin, pEnd, SortByTypeThenName()); copy(pBegin, pEnd, oi); cout << "\n"; return 0; } Steve
