----------------------------------- AsianSensation Wed Sep 10, 2003 7:20 pm syntax for math operations? ----------------------------------- how do you use mod and exponents in c++? *mod as in modular math. ----------------------------------- Catalyst Wed Sep 10, 2003 7:29 pm ----------------------------------- mod is % and exponent is the function float pow(float num,float exp) in avoid pow whenever necessary it can be very very slow (i.e use x*x*x over pow(x,3)) ----------------------------------- AsianSensation Wed Sep 10, 2003 7:33 pm ----------------------------------- so if I want to check if a number is a divisor of another, I do this? if (num % 5 == 0) blah blah blah ----------------------------------- Catalyst Wed Sep 10, 2003 7:37 pm ----------------------------------- yup just like that ----------------------------------- AsianSensation Wed Sep 10, 2003 7:48 pm ----------------------------------- cool, thanks Catalyst. I have another question, how about the square root syntax, and does anyone know a site where I can get a list of the syntax and their uses? ----------------------------------- Mazer Wed Sep 10, 2003 8:03 pm ----------------------------------- www.cppreference.com ----------------------------------- Catalyst Wed Sep 10, 2003 8:09 pm ----------------------------------- Square Root is just float sqrt(float n) heres another good site: www.cplusplus.com ----------------------------------- AsianSensation Wed Sep 10, 2003 8:34 pm ----------------------------------- cool, thanks guys. ----------------------------------- naoki Sat Sep 20, 2003 2:23 pm ----------------------------------- indeed those sites will help negate the AWESOME UNQUESTIONABLE GREATNESS of my comp sci teacher ----------------------------------- Andy Sat Sep 20, 2003 10:21 pm ----------------------------------- cppreference.com sux, it dont give u much info on the functions... ----------------------------------- naoki Sun Sep 21, 2003 12:02 pm ----------------------------------- considering the purpose of the site and the lack of any advertisement or help to fund the site, i think cppreference is pretty damned nice to pay for its domain for the content it gives. also try cprogramming.com and codenewbie.com ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Sun Sep 21, 2003 12:28 pm ----------------------------------- cppreference.com sux, it dont give u much info on the functions... i like cppreference, in fact i have printed out the whole website so i could use it in CCC - stupid school doesnt even have MSDN
