Thank you! I would not have thought to look up that particular part of the error message, since so much of it looked like Greek to me.
Scrolling down a few posts I found someone who had the exact...

Oops, that's just a typo. I have double checked to make sure that the spacing of the array is correct. I also boiled it down to a single dimensional array at one point, and still got the same error.

I made this program to duplicate an error I'm receiving. When I run the program I receive:


Snake.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol
__imp___CrtDbgReportW referenced in function...

Hello again!

I've continued to work on a text based RPG I've been making progress on just for practice. I've come up with this problem though that I have searched for everywhere, and can't seem...

I think I have found my solution to this problem. Finding the solution though brought up a lot more questions. After some more searching I found there is a difference between 'pointer to a const...

Hello!

I have a question about constant pointers. I am aware that with regular pointers, you can access the memory addresses next to a certain memory address to handle arrays/vectors, etc. such...

Well with all that in mind I'ma keep working on it. :)
Thanks a ton for your help!

Alright. So instead of making globals just passing a reference or pointer to the function is better in terms of checking if the function ran as expected.



Ah! I got so caught up in new/delete...

That makes sense. In that case I suppose my example could just be stored on the stack. Because it is defined as a global variable it's scope is large enough that everything which needs to access it...

So it seems like it's essentially a balancing act between speed (new/delete) and the safety/simplicity of the code (using scope to define variable lifetime) in order to make sure a bunch of new's...

So a couple days ago I posted on the forums questions I had about pointers...how they work and why they are used. After reading your responses and trying it out for myself, I've come to understand...

Let's see if I can understand this.
Instead of passing the argument by value, we're passing an address of the variable. But since we want it to act like a pass-by-value, it is const so that if it...

That use for the pointer is starting to make a lot more sense. 'Cause I can see how passing an address, rather the passing an entire image class type object is a lot less CPU intensive. And you get...

Thanks :)
Not to rush my understanding of this because I know it's not something you master in a few minutes, but I decided to do a test of pointer-to-class to see if I could get it to work. Here's...

So had that been a long double, or some large user-defined class type, rather then an int, the only difference would be speed since you're passing an address instead of a number which occupies a lot...

From everything I've read (and I've read a lot, I've been from tutorial to tutorial and many different books) pointers and references are one of the most difficult concepts for new programmers to...

Okay yeah, this makes sense. :)
Thanks for clearing that up!

So in your example, putting #include "Windows.h" in every source file causes it to compile that header once for each source file. So you'd end up compiling "Windows.h" hundreds of times.
Then you...

I'm still learning C++ by reading a couple different books and using Visual C++ to compile test source codes.
I have a question though, why is it that in every example of source code that I have...

There we go, thanks :)
Obvious what my problem was that vector is part of the standard library just like I would have to say std::string or bring namespace std into scope by 'using'

Thank you...

I am learning C++ by a few different resources, and have been working on the fundamentals for about a week. One of them is a book I found called C++: A dialogue. It has helped me a lot and I've...

You are both right and I appreciate your opening my eyes to the fact that I should learn in a more structured fashion. :)
When I learned from scratch GS2 which was a built-in scripting language, I...

Hi! So I wasn't sure whether to start a new thread or not but this is an entirely different topic from my first so I figured I would.
From my last post, I decided to learn to use classes so I got...

Declaring a class would be nice so I can just return objects.
So if I create a class 'Rooms' for example, and one of it's objects is Room_100 then returning Room_100 would allow the function which...

Alright. So I looked at Boost.Assign which, some of it I can comprehend and some of it I haven't dealt with yet. Are there any examples out of how I could use std::vector to manipulate arrays? ...
