1. This is not a "do my homework for me" thread. If you have specific questions, ask, but don't post an assignment or homework problem and expect an exact solution.
2. No recruiting for your cockamamie projects (you won't replace facebook with 3 dudes you found on the internet and $20)
3. If you can't articulate why a language is bad, don't start slinging shit about it. Just remember that nothing is worse than making CSS IE6 compatible.
4. Use [code] tags to format code blocks.

I think this was the first example of the class(C++) intro:


#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout << "Hello world!" << endl;
return 0;
}

I realize this might be extremely simple but I was playing around with Codeblocks and I seem to get the same thing with or without the return 0;. Hello world! is printed either way.

So basically my question is why's it work with and without it if it's needed?


I don't know if this has been said already (was just browsing through old posts), but with the brand new shiny c++ you actually don't need to put return 0;.

You didn't need to in the '98 C++ standard either. However, it's not harmful, and it might be a decent habit to get into (putting it there) both for explicitness's sake and because it is required in C.

@Frigo if your NodeVector and EdgeVector classes are implementations of Vectors, you're already in n^2 time. You can go to linear time by turning them into, say, a HashMap.

HAHA!

Managed to create an observer pattern in Java that does not require the user to manually unsubscribe each observer from the observable object, and does not leak memory either.

I thought Vectors have amortized constant insertion time? Both are based on Vector and its add method.

As for the Observer set, I plan on creating a HashTreeSet which is just basically a hash table with a self-balancing binary tree in each bucket instead of a list. O(1) average access, O(log n) worst case access with poor hash functions. Too difficult at the moment though, I'm still a noobie java progger.

Could someone recommend goods books for Software Engineering(I know about Code Completed), Computer Science(math side, machine code, ai) and hardware books(hardware construction or w/e, just want to get good picture), if possible books that are used in university, i am fairly experienced .NET and C++ developer.

Thanks a lot, i will check that book out and maybe order it, as for math, well mostly math that is used in "Computer Science" courses.

Also another question is W3School certification worth its money or complete b/s?

There are many math courses that you take during CS studies. Mathematical analysis, geometry, linear algebra, probability, statistics, discrete mathematics and also several algorithm courses (I guess this is theoretical computer science and not math, though). This isn't high school, you can't just buy a "math book" :>

If you don't have any knowledge about algorithms, I'd suggest focusing on that first. Cormen's book seems to be something that's recommended by every professor/lecturer.

Also another question is W3School certification worth its money or complete b/s?

I doubt it's worth it. W3schools seems to be just a random website with html documentation (incorrect in many places, too).

Well I need a job just to have money and for my expenses, but I was wondering if there was something I could do that would later be useful to me in some way in regards to this field. So I was wondering if you guys have had some luck like this or experience with it. I mean I could get some random job like most college students but I figured if I could tie it into the field I want to study somehow it would benefit me because I may find it interesting but also be an asset to my career down the road.

I always hear people talking about this, but what do you exactly mean by that? Can you give any examples?

Most people are bad about commenting there work, and even when they do, the comments aren't very explanatory. Further, maintainable code needs commonly used variables defined globally, rather than each time its needed, so you can update it in only one spot and be done with it. Last, variables should be well-named. Unless it's some loop-control variable you'll never use again, you should never name things with a single character. Always use more descriptive names.
Well lucky me, I hate writing code that doesn't do all those things

A question, I'm currently steering my CS study in the direction of lowlevel code+hardware design, how is the job availability in this field? I'm planning to do my minor in electrical engineering. I'd imagine that I'll have a better job prospect in this field than in software design (based on seeing the overwhelming majority of other students choose the highlevel route).

Absolutely NOT. Although W3schools has its usefulness for beginners, its full of errors and is quite outdated. I dont believe their certification has any value at all.

Hey guys

I've been busy with a project for school, and I've stumbled upon an error and was wondering how I could get rid of it.

Error message:

I believe BusinessUnitsApp has null value in that case, and that is causing a problem, adding check before code will fix error however, not problem, you should try debugging and see why BusinessUnitsApp gets null value passed.

EDIT: Also sharing peace of code with us would greatly help us solve your problem

Your best bet might be a research position at the university. I worked in a lab that did posture prediction when I was in school and they hired a lot of undergrads for the user interfaces and testing because CS/Engineering students are smart and you can pay them much less than a grad student or professional. And its good for you because you get professional programming experience.

Hmmm... There is quite a bit of code. and the OP said I wasn't supposed to post a wall of text. Is there maybe another way to show you?

Maybe if I give some extra information about it:
I'm working with a GUI that launches when running and it's controlled by using several phidgets.
It's also linked with VLC player to start a movie at the start.
And the debug didn't help/work

Here is the whole code that's causing the problems ( I think )
I'm working with a few other .java files. These include the GUI file and the file that takes care of linking vlc to java.

As far as I can see you call the method getSensorValue on the interf variable which is no initialized and therefore throws a NullpointerException. You need to do something like inter = new InterfaceKitPhidget(); before calling methods on it.
