i=i++?

I was already wrong once today so I'm not gonna even try and making a guess on this one

Actually I screwed up, been a while since I programmed in inline assembly. Try this one (edited).

There's an easy way to figure it out quick, compile and run it! But that would be cheating...

This one would be C. '!=' is not equal to

So whats your seceret??? I thought about the T.J. Cooper thing (rob a bank, skydive from a commercial airliner) but you cant get away with the same crime twice. That, and I dont like commercial airliners.

T.J. did it too?

Hehe. Someone actually had to IM the link to this thread telling me i missed a post with my name in it. I never even opened it cause i figured it was computer mumbo jumbo stuff.

Turn yourself in and they may make a movie about you too! Ive been looking for that movie, its an old one from back in the '70s, saw a documentary on it several years ago, true story. I forgot what kind of airliner he jumped off of, dropped from the belly of a 727 I think?

I was just messing with you wasn't his name D.B. Cooper.; My old roomates parent used to own a bar in the town he was supposed to have landed in they have D.B Cooper is alive parties every year.

Shit, there goes my memory. D.B. Cooper, thanks! Youd think after only 30 years you could remember something like that.


I was right, it was a 727:

http://www.dccomix.com/roadkilldiaries/dbcooper.htm

"Cooper dove into a freezing rainstorm at 10,000 feet, wearing only a business suit and loafers. The temperature was 7 below zero, not counting a wind chill factor estimated at minus 70 because of the plane's speed of 200 mph."


This guy is a skydiving badass. So which one of you did it?

those classes at hcc are paying off Bill! at least in the posts!

Nah, I've hated C for years. People used to write unmaintainable junk in Assembler. That is why easy to read/write higher level languages were invented. Sure Assembler is fast, but the cost of producing correct code was ridiculous.

Then, someone gives away a free compiler and everyone thinks it's cool. Then, they write some good network stuff with it. Back to the beginning.

Bit-bending languages like Assembler and C are only good for network applications. Business applications are done with complete numbers and character strings, not bits.

The proper tool for the job.

I hope that these are instances of the same object or you may want to use .equals instead.

Yea, but its fun! Dont get into business application programming, even though Im a programmer on the software team for ACT!, its still purely technical. We get to leave the business part to PM.

Ive been on this software team for almost two years now, and Im still not sure what this application does! Any ACT! users out there want to clue me in???

Not these days. I know 3 programmers who haven't worked in almost 6 months, and not from lack of looking.

(!Programming) ? Packing : Skydiving;

BTW, if it wasn't confirmed before...

i = 0;
i++;

...would be 1. ++ increments by a single integer. It's a shorter way of writing...

i = i + 1;

It's not really good for comparisons, because you could just use < or > instead of =, but it is primarily used for loops:

// Writes 0 - 9
for (i=0; i<10; i++) {
echo(i);
}

If you wanted to increase by more than one, you'd replace the second + with the incremental value...

// Writes 0, 4, and 8
for (i=0; i<10; i+4) {
echo(i);
}

You can use other short circuit math, as well... like calculating acceleration...

// Acceleration (pay no attention to the plugged in figures)
s = 0;
v = 0.25;
for (i=0; i<=176; i/=v) {
s++;
echo(i + " feet after " + s + " seconds at " + (i - i*v) + " feet per second.
");
}

actually after much discussion and proving me wrong we came to the conclusion that since they were talking java the answer is actually 0 because of the way the stack is called...look up a few post to see the disassembly. In c/c++ at least for the compiler I ran it under it did =1.

That's odd. I just ran the above in Java (sans echo()), and did not get 0. I wonder if it's because I'm not on *nix. I'll have to see what happens on Linux at home.

The behavior of i++ is, like you said, equal to i=i+1. But the problem is shown when you do...

int i = 0;
i = i++;

In Java, the value of i should be 0.

Lets try:

while( programming )
{
if( ! Packing() )
Skydiving();
else
Packing();
)

if( ! programming && out_of_work )
__asm int 3;
