To be honest I gave up C awhile ago.....all that pointer s**t gave me the runs.....IT architect roles is where the dollars are at now.....still I would rather come 2nd in a weekly SC comp....would feel I have achieved something with my life then

Are you a systems engineer/analyst?

Nice, you must be rolling in the moolah

Yes life is good, not 2nd in a weekly comp good but one can dream.

I tell you what though, when you do come 2nd in weekly comp and make the "how do I collect my winnings" thread, you'll be set.

In C++ the equality operator would do a string comparison, in C all that would do is compare the memory addresses of the variable with the string literal which would invariably fail 100% of the time, thus no Cotchin bonus score. I doubt he would have used a character array in a C++ program to begin with.

You're assuming he's quoting C code. I'm assuming he's quoting C++ code.

Given my assumption, the code is fine.

Why would anyone coding in C++ use strcmp or char arrays generally? The only reason I can think of would be for embedded systems or for real time OSes where dynamic memory allocation is illegal/disabled thus the default stl allocators which use the free store can't be used. If that's the case, you would either write your own memory allocator (probably some stack based thing) and explicitly use that with your stl containers or write your own string class which encapsulates all of your string algorithms in shiny C++ operator overloads.

Very nice.

I have a masters in electrical engineering but I just code these days due to the project I'm working on and the amount they pay me

Depends if you wanted to write code efficiently, or just write something quick, easy and ugly that works.

I find the majority of coders take the latter approach. It's very rare that I come across code where I sit back and admire the way it's written.

I code in my "spare" time as a bit of a hobby for some organisations I volunteer for.

That being said, I did write the entire support system at work in my downtime; but that was more PHP and SQL which is probably scripting more than proper coding

were's that nerd.jpg when I need it

Ok. It's probably required now.

Hopefully I'm not announcing something I shouldn't, but Sunny_ has decided to move to the US of A and is moving on.

On behalf of all the Supercoach tragics here, I wanted to thank her for all her insight over the years. She was often tagged whenever we had questions on GC players, particularly in their formative years and always provided some great inside information and insight on players that were largely unknown to everyone.

All the best with everything Sunny_ and hopefully we'll still see you around these parts.

Thanks for all the contributions Sunny_ - all the best.

Does anyone know what the story was last week with the projections during the round in super coach gold? They were incorrect throughout the round.

i.e after 7 games I had say 2000 points but projections were at 1900? Last year they were calculating correctly...very annoying

Same problem last year IIRC.

Quick question to anyone that knows...
If I have the Emergency on two different players on my midfield bench and then one of my starting midfielders does not play, which emergency player's score is used?
Is it the highest scoring? The first to play? Really interested to know how this works.

 

[Latro]

Lowest score

Lowest scoring playing emergency

C++ sounds to hard. Just use visual basic

With SC Gold, how do you find the more in depth trade stats for the week (Most popular trades etc.)?

All I can see is 'Most traded in - not in my team' and 'most traded out - in my team'

 

[elMM]

Quick question re: emergencies. If I have two emergencies on one line, (ie- Emg: Miller and Krak in the mids) does SC count the higher of the two scores?
