Hi, from the name of this .cpp file and the screenshots I've seen, I suspect this might be similar to my solution from some years ago: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3038174/cos340%20ass2.pdf I'd greatly appreciate it if yoby lycium - COS340A

fully knowing what to expect of unisa, i think i may have had my last year with them in 2008 because of stuff like this.by lycium - COS340A
i had the same issue with a maths course last year, tried chasing down someone who would give a %^*$ but couldn't find anysuch persons at unisa. did you guys submit pdf files? i first noticed that my marks dipped because all the equations were replaced with white pages, then whole pages went missing...by lycium - COS340A
wow, you guys are hardcore! i have yet to register but yeah, beginning of the year is actually most important part for me; i'll generally study most of the year's worth when i get my books (diagonally reading chapters and sizing them up), then only do the important assignments later in the year, brush up a bit for the exam, get 50% and hey, that's that. ps. damn malcolm yoby lycium - Social Cafe
just ask people to post the questions for you (the assignments refer to textbook questions instead of just reproducing them), i'm sure someone will be kind enough toby lycium - COS340A
definitely agree c/c++ is actually quite evil sometimes, and will let you do something like static s_clockTime = 0.-f; // ... s_clockTime += dt; without even giving a single warning!by lycium - Social Cafe

all the crazy things you can do with pointers are probably not a good idea for general (non-performance oriented) software development, besides this there is only the syntactic difference between references and pointers... actually i rarely use pointers, mostly for output arguments from function calls (the inputs being const references).by lycium - Social Cafe
eish, registration... books... ahh well, with < 24h left of 2008, not gonna spend it stressing about unisa!by lycium - Social Cafe
