Explain me the output of this:

Code: 
void main()
{
float a=1.22; 
if (a==1.22) 
printf("C");
else 
printf("cD");
getch();
}

Thats a classic! It's just one of many codes to represent the complex world of floating point numbers. So, this is what happens:

> 1.22 base 10 is (0.0011100001010001111010111000010100011110101110000101...) base 2.

> The bold part is the binary pattern that repeats till infinity.

> As we do not have infinite memory, so to store it in a memory, it is truncated and rounded off to (1.22000003) base 10.

> Since 1.22000003 is NOT equal to 1.22 (which is stored as 1.22000000 in a float variable), so the program executes the false parte instead of the true part of if-else code (debug the program to see the actual values).

> Float numbers are beyond any webpage's scope!

Check out the MinGW wiki for First Time Users and the HOWTO guide on their site. It should solve all your problems and queries easily. Unless you are having problems in compiling itself.

You can either install Code::blocks, which after integration with MinGW, will give you a full fledge IDE. Or compile and run program from command line.

  1. Press Windows + R.
  2. Open Command Prompt.
  3. With CD command navigate to the "bin" folder where MinGW is installed.
  4. Compile the program:
    g++ cppfile.cpp -o output.exe
  5. And then run the output file by just entering the name of output file and pressing enter.
    output.exe


You could have also used c++ command as an alternative to g++.

PS: Of course you have to keep program in bin folder, or give full path of the cpp filename.

If you don't want any trouble and don't want to go the conventional way then you can use Code::Blocks. :)

In projecteuler.net, do they give solutions too?
Click to expand...
No not directly. They give you a problem and ask you for the output. If it is correct you have solved the puzzle. I believe once that is done you could access the forum to get the answer or something. Although not sure. Not been on projecteuler for last 2 years or so.
