I would not read too heavily into those numbers. Looking at averages alone is rarely useful, especially when you don't know the sample sizes.

To be clear, I was joking. Mostly.

I do feel I am underpaid, but it has nothing to do with those figures.

The fact that it doesn't take location/job market into account is a big problem with depending on those numbers.

Cant figure out how to fix this programming issue I'm having.
So basically I have to remove items from a vector if they are present in the other vector. Problem is, If I actually delete anything, the program goes bonkers and stops working. I know this is most likely caused by me deleting an item from the vector thats size is tied to a for loop. Unfortunately I cant figure out a way to make this work.
Code: 
void dispatch(Order *disp)
    {
        bool mistake = true;
        for(int j = 0; j < disp->getSize(); j++)
        {

            for(int k = 0; k<stocked.size(); k++)
            {
                if(disp->getOrderName(j).compare(stocked[k]->giveName()) == 0)
                {
                    stocked[k] = NULL;
                    //mistake = false;
                    return;
                }
            }
         
            if(mistake)
                {
                    cout<<"An Error occured.\n";
                    return;
                }
        }
    }
Nevermind the mistake part in the code.

Edit: Apparently adding k=stocked.size(); before deleting an element did the job. Also tried break after deleting but that didn't help. Not sure if this is the best courese of action, but it works...
Double Edit: Well that actually did not work as intended. I still need advice.
Threes the charm: Got a solution. Apparently had to check if an element was NULL before comparing it to something. Otherwise it went bonkers.

This really is a C# for Dummies question.

So I'm playing around with class libraries and inheritance.

I have a class (called Student) in a class library (called testLibrary).

Anyway I've tried creating a child class of Student called AcademicRecord.

Anyway whenever I try and call AcademicRecord's default constructor I get a 'AcademicRecord() is inaccessible due to its protection level'. I'm wondering why that is.

I can create instances of Student just fine so the class library is accessible just fine.

The class library looks like this:

Code: 
namespace testLibrary
{
    public class Student
    {
        public int StudentID { get; set; }
        public string StudentFirstName { get; set; }
        public string StudentLastName { get; set; }

        public Student()
        {
            this.StudentID = 0;
            this.StudentFirstName = "FirstName";
            this.StudentLastName = "LastName";
            
        }

        public Student(int studentID, string firstName, string lastName)
        {
            this.StudentID = studentID;
            this.StudentFirstName = firstName;
            this.StudentLastName = lastName;
        }
    }
}

And the child class looks like this:

Code: 
using testLibrary;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication3
{
    public class AcademicRecord: Student
    {
        public string degree { get; set; }
        public string major { get; set; }

        AcademicRecord()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Child Constructor.");
        }   
    }
}

And the app code looks like this:

Code: 
using testLibrary;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication3
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        ArrayList studentList = new ArrayList();
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
           
            Student test = new Student();
            Student test2 = new Student { StudentID = 2, StudentFirstName = "Jason", StudentLastName = "Smith" };
            Student test3 = new Student(3, "Mary", "Jones");
            studentList.Add(test);
            studentList.Add(test2);
            studentList.Add(test3);

            AcademicRecord ar1 = new AcademicRecord();
        }

Prefix the constructor AcademicRecord() with "public"

Each method has a visibility level, either private, protected, or public (note: I don't know C#, but this is usually the case). C# defaults methods to private, meaning that only instances of that class can call that method.

Your constructor method needs to be public so that it can be called from outside the class.

On another note, this inheritance doesn't make sense. Whenever you have a class inherit from another, make sure you check that it follows the rule of "is a". Having "Ford" inherit from "CarManufacturer" makes sense, because Ford is a car manufacturer. An academic record is not a student. This would call for the student containing a member.

True. The child was just random stuff to use in understanding how it all works. Its not going to be used for anything. I guess it should have been more like Person->Student

The more you know about C++, the more hesitant you should be to use it.
My experience is overwhelmingly in C++ and I have even taught it, but unless I have specific reasons to use C++ for a new (serious) project, I wont. I'll sooner pick up another, better behaved language that I have almost no experience in.
My school started us off with C++.. I took nearly 2 years of C++ classes and ended up with a job where I have to learn Java and it feels so damn wordy to me.
Click to expand...
I don't think you are wrong. Java is wordy and clunky, more so than any other language I've used. It's so bad that I feel C++ actually is cleaner and more expressive for hacking stuff together on a small scale; that's not a good comparison to end up in. Where C++ becomes painful is when it's written by poor programmers and/or put in a large system.

That said, one of the best coders I know used Java even for a lot of his free time hacking (neural networks, pattern recognition stuff). He was familiar and comfortable with it and that counts for a lot.

If I personally had to run code on JVM, I'd probably go and learn Clojure from scratch. Scala would be another option, but I have some reservations from when I've tried it briefly.

I found this in my bookmarks from the project:

http://www.kylejlarson.com/blog/2011/fixed-elements-and-scrolling-divs-in-ios-5/

The project was a bit of an odd thing, it used an iPad hooked up to a monitor and the iPad was viewing a webpage in a UI webview, and clicks and scrolls that the user did on the iPad would be reflected on the monitor. I had to write bridging code that would go from JavaScript to Objective-C for some stuff.

In the end it didn't work as well as the client wanted because UIWebview performance was poop on iOS7.

Thanks for the link, and the help. This didn't end up solving my current issue though.

It seems as if iOS 8 is just not sending the proper touch events for paper.js to understand for it's built in functions. I may just end up hard coding touch events in and calling the paper functions manually instead to see if that fixes my issue.

Frustrating!

edit: I'm an idiot. Adding some code to prevent the default touch interaction on the page fixed the issue.
Code: 
document.addEventListener('touchmove', function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
}, false);

Hey guys, simple problem that I need help with in Java that I have no idea how to solve.

Code: 
System.out.println("Phone: "+sStudentPhoneNumber);

It's printing out phone numbers that it reads from a text file, the problem is that the phone number printed just outputs like this:

Phone: 5615672436

and I need it to print out like this

Phone (561) 567-2436

How do I insert the parenthesis/dashes and space into the existing string variable?

Me too. Although I pushed that change to my repo last night or the night before, and then got caught up in studying and never fully tested it.
So my app was running fine for over a day without me realizing it and still fretting over how to fix it.

Better than a day of it being broken without knowing though!

I still have a nice list of features and fixes I'd like to add in, but it's a nice feeling to have something out there and working that is useful. (We use it for whiteboarding at work now.)

I meant that the performance difference between concatenation and using StringBuilder is so negligible that you shouldn't be considering performance as a factor at all. It's generally considered best not to worry about performance until you have a chance to profile your code and determine exactly where efficiency is needed.

I need some help with opengl/glsl. I'm trying to pass some variables over as uniforms to the shader but I want them to be type vec4. In opengl/main they are set up as float array[4]. How can I do this? I can only seem to set them up in the shader as the same type, which is very annoying for calculations. Is it possible to pass float arrays to the shader and have them be type vec4?

Also when I run this code it only spits out the first value. It works 100% as I can see the color change but only the first number is non zero as I change it.

Code: 
GLint loc1 = glGetUniformLocation(shader.id(),"rgba");
glUniform1fv(loc1, 4, rgba);
	
glGetUniformfv(shader.id(), loc1, ptr2);
	
printf("#####%f, %f, %f, %f\n",ptr2[0], ptr2[1], ptr2[2], ptr2[3]);

This works just fine though...
Code: 
GLint loc4 = glGetUniformLocation(shader.id(),"modelviewprojection");
glUniformMatrix4fv(loc4, 1, false, *modelviewprojection.m);
	
glGetUniformfv(shader.id(), loc4, ptr2);
	
for(int i = 0; i < 16; i++)
    printf("#####%f\n",ptr2[i]);

Checkout String.format or system.out.printf formatting.

You can use substring to get parts from a string or regular expressions to split the number into parts.

Code: 
if (sStudentPhoneNumber.length == 10) {
   int area = sStudentPhoneNumber.substring(0, 3);
   int p1 = sStudentPhoneNumber.substring(3, 6);
   int p2 = sStudentPhoneNumber.substring(6, 10);

   system.out.printf("(%s) %s-%s%n", area, p1, p2); // %n adds a line break
} else {
   system.out.println("Invalid number?");
}

It's something to do with these segments:

                //{
                    //stateCensus.push_back(byState);

byState is actually a global. Is my line there in that if block not just making a new object? I'm unfamiliar with c++.

Would putting that there be making a byState local and not just overwriting the global byState? I'm used to c# where you can just do byState = new list<>, but that seemingly doesn't work here. I'm probably just not seeing how to do that.

You seem to be creating a second object called byState at function scope. All further references to byState in that function would be referring to the function-scope byState rather than the global one. That's called called 'shadowing'.

If you wanted to clear the existing byState, you'd do something more like this:
Code: 
byState = std::list<CityCensus>();
(which creates a new list and assigns it to the existing one)

or
Code: 
byState.clear();
(which just calls the method that empties the list)

I have a piece of code sort of like this
Code: 
template<typename T, int m, int n>
Matrix<T, m, n> columnMatrix(vector<T,m>&&... vecs)
{
Matrix<T,m,n> ret;
//blah blah blah construct the matrix from the given column vectors
return ret;
}

Which clearly doesn't work since a call to columnMatrix does not give the compiler enough information to determine n. Obviously this is because it doesn't know how many arguments are in the vecs pack. I could explicitly state the n for each call of columnMatrix but I would prefer not to

I don't know how I can maintain the call syntax and be able to infer n.

Aren't varadic arguments handled at runtime? I don't think it's possible to specify n, because it depends on the varadic arguments (which could be staticly handled, but are not... they come from C, afterall).

That said, I don't know that much about either varadic arguments or the new parameter packs. The latter might have a way to do this, since I think it is compile-time...

Any ideas on what they're automating? Build pipeline, networking, cloud infrastructure? Any ideas what languages, frameworks, tools they use?

If you don't, that's probably OK. If you're fresh out of school, they probably expect you to not know. It'll look good if you ask those questions though.

I am a bit stuck in my program. I am doing a Multi-List Ordered List (Linked List) with Java. Really sucks, actually.

So, I am getting this rather strange exception when running:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: -2
at SortedLinkedList.SortedLinkedList.getLength(SortedLinkedList.java:382)
at SortedLinkedList.SortedLinkedList.getObjectsForKey(SortedLinkedList.java:107)
at SortedLinkedList.Test.main(Test.java:63)

Not sure why I am getting -2, honestly.

Here's my Classes, for reference:
http://pastebin.com/HuSkMFJp
http://pastebin.com/0uTdFSGr
http://pastebin.com/PD0SBLhE

So basically, all I want to do right now is:
d. Display all flight information for a user inputted Flight # + Date &#8211; this will list all the airports visited on this flight

The getObjectsForKey method is where I am making my implementation. Just kind of looking for some direction as to how to debug this.

Also, I am trying to refine my techniques when it comes to methods, Objects, and classes. Anyone have any pointers or references to check out? Even if my intro classes, I can admit, I never got a HUGE understanding of the aforementioned. I know what they do, obviously, but they still trip me up from time to time.

You have this at line 107 of SortedLinkedList.java:

int index = findHeader(firstNodeOnChain, numberOfHeaders, key);
int size = getLength(index);

If you do an .indexOf(String); and the String is not found, you'll get a result of -1

Later at line 382 you have this:

return numberOfEntriesOnChain[chain-1];

So you're probably trying to index the array at index -2.

So in C++ and inheritance.

I have 2 classes, one is inherited from another, both contain a vector of the same name.

I have a function in the base class that accesses the vector and want to use it in a derived class function. However this does not work. If I copy the function to the derived class it works.

Is there lika way to make this work?

I'm not much of a C++ guy, but it's probably one of two things:

1) The visibility of the function in the super class is private and thus not inherited but the sub class.

2) Since the vector name is overridden, the function that accesses that superclass's vector can't be applied to the overwritten vector in the sub class. I'm not sure if inheritance works this way in C++, so it may be a reach.

BTW, why do you have a vector of the same name in the sub class? Why not just use the one that's already there?
