It works :-)

The file weighs in at 168 kb (holy...)
and opens a dos window, prints the stuff out, and yeah

the guy forgot the \n newline else its all screwy

Can you post it here http://www.uploadit.org/. try upx it and zipping it.

:D :P

There is a lesson here...
http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ft/2003/ft031003.gif

In the interest of getting it right, and because all programmers go through a bit of code review every now and then, I'm going to debug this program. There is a bug! The printf statement is not correct. It will not produce the output that the programmer desires. This program as written will create a mess.The line ...
printf("I will not throw paper airplanes in class.");
... will produce the output you see below ...
I will not throw paper airplanes in class.I will not throw paper airplanes in class.I will not throw paper airplanes in class.I will not throw paper airplanes in class.I will not throw paper airplanes in class.
The programmer forgot to put a carriage return at the end of the string. It should be ...
printf("I will not throw paper airplanes in class.\n");
Now, the program will correctly produce the output formatted into the desired lines.
I will not throw paper airplanes in class.
I will not throw paper airplanes in class.
I will not throw paper airplanes in class.
I will not throw paper airplanes in class.
I will not throw paper airplanes in class.
The moral of this story is that you should always test your code. Never assume that it works. And absolutely DO NOT Publish the code without testing it first.

Comic from FoxTrot ... :rolleyes:

Thats what I said >_<

Code:

Why do u think the teacher says nice try?
Because the guy forgot the new line thing...

Cool. it nothin really useful but it`s still cool.

If it is a computer science class maybe. :rolleyes:

if you don`t mind maybe i will share it on KaZaA :P

oh ya here is the crack Here

haha cause he&#39;s trying to get out of writing "i will not throw paper airplanes in class" 500 times. so he wrote the code on the board to do it for him.

the point was that the code written doesn&#39;t work
it&#39;s incorrect as it stands, so the teacher says "nice try"

Maybe he should use perl instead to make it even a smaller code like

Code:

---

#!/usr/bin/perl
for ($count=1; $count<500; $count++)
{
 print "I will not throw paper airplanes in class.\n";
}

---

which would result in this

Btw I don&#39;t see the missing /n as error since he would need more space to write it only once per line :) In real code you would just use it to make the output more readable.

Yeah, it would still be there 500 times, just all run together.

Besides what do you think the chances are that a female middle school teacher would even be able to understand that.

I like my version better.

Code:

---

// Chalkboard.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream.h>

int main(void)
{

        int count;

        for(count=1;count<=500;count++)
        cout<<"I will not throw paper airplanes in class."<<endl;
        cout<<""<<endl;

        return 0;
}

---

Or how about with a while loop instead.

Code:

---

// Chalkboard.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream.h>

int main(void)
{

        int count=1;

        while(count<=500)
        {
  cout<<"I will not throw paper airplanes in class."<<endl;

  ++count;
        }

        return 0;
}

---

Code:

---

// Chalkboard.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream.h>

int main(void)
{

int count;

for(count=1;count<=500;count++)
cout<<"I will not throw paper airplanes in class."<<endl;
cout<<""<<endl;

return 0;
}

---

this will give you a space inbetween lines ;) and the #include "stdafx.h" is not needed. :lol:
