Another Reason Why I Hate M$

[Dan]

code:

#include <stdio.h> int main(void) {         float f;         scanf("%f", &f);         printf("M$ VC sucks\n");         return 0; }

You whould think the type float and %f in the scanf whould give it away, but noooooooo.

P.S. Yes i do know that probly no one will understand what i am talking about here but i am mad so screw the explation for now.

ehm... u forgot the ';'? oh heh.. compiler errors suck .. yep most c++ compiler are so terrible.. but gnu does a acceptable-but-not-so-satisfactory job

borland and digital mars do a better job

wait... microsoft 'cl.exe' does a good job too damn.. wths ur point.. u hate m$ cuz gnu sucks? heh funny.

That was just in this code exmaple b/c i was typing so fast try to complie it with the ; in M$ VC then in gcc....

By the way i am editing my post to put that in b/c it was not the point

Works fine with GCC 3.2.3 here. Compiles and functions perfectly.

Yep, but to my superse when they where marking my assments in VC it dose not.

VC dose not load the floating lib b/c it dose not consider there to be any floating point useage there and crashs when an float is inputed. I, hating M$, did not use VC to do my assments and rather used unix shell with pico and gcc, so i had no errors. So i whonted to test for protbaility so i complied it for windows but not using VC and it worked fine but of corse the dum T.A. had to use VC++ compiler to try and run it.

What pissed me off more is that they side i should have used cout insted of scanf to fix it when it is a corse spficely in C and not C++. I mean that coment did not even make sceen, if anything to fix it i should have just divied somting to force the dum complier to load the floating point lib...

If you write and hand in valid standard C or C++ programs, you should raise hell if they aren't accepted. If you can get your hands on a decent C compiler, there's nothing stopping your teachers from doing the same.

old topic i know.. but i might as well suggest dan.. use cl.exe from the command prompt.. works prefectly.

I do not use windows.....any how a fallow up to this, i conviced my prof to give me the marks back since it realy was VC++'s falut and i was compling to the C standereds.
