If you want to do more complex decisions in C++ there are a couple of ways to accomplish this. We’ll look at three that are fairly common. Nested If Statements Inside of an if statement true block, or the else block for that matter, you can nest another if statement. This allows you to build…
C/C++ has a couple of different ways to perform selections. We’re going to start looking at some of these. As with most languages, C./C++ has a Boolean data type, called bool. This can be used directly with your conditions, or separately to store data. Relational Operators Since we will need to compare values, C/C++ gives…
Website reviews should be used as a learning experience for developers, both new and experienced. What is even nicer, is that you can easily review other peoples’ websites without needing to see their source code (unless it is a dynamic driven website) and this allows anyone to do a website review. Some common reasons you…
Before you start building any web page, no matter how simple or complex your project plans to be, it’s good to determine the needs of your website first. The design and needs of your project will often determine how you organize your site and start building it. The first thing to do is determine who…
First, only have one working set of files. It is easy to have copies of files in multiple locations. One copy might be on your personal machine, one copy on a thumb drive, and another on a school lab machine. Saving a backup copy is a good idea, in case something happens, but having multiple…
Regardless of the size of the project, it is important to have a good organizational plan to make it easier to work with the project. As they say, failing to plan is planning to fail. It is important to understand how your files will be organized both logically as well as physically. Additionally, if you…
Web Server Hardware Depending upon your website and the resources it will need, you may need a single low performance box as a web server, multiple clusters of physical devices, or something in between the two extremes. Companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc. have multiple server farms spread out all over the world to make…
While the Quicksort is relatively fast, O(nlog(n)) in terms of speed on average, a lot of programmers fear it because they don’t like, understand, or maybe even know about recursion. Recursion is the process of a function calling itself. There is usually a slight penalty for recursion as each function call is slower than if…
