Can I be a programmer, maybe a C++ programmer?
Most likely yes !
You might find programming, and with C++ to be fun and easy. Maybe really scary at first, then later fun and easy.
It might not be so much the training that a person has had as their mental dexterity that affects how they adapt to new challenges.
To maintain even enough of an interest in many work activities to keep doing similar...

You did ask for career advice.
I suggest:
Get a book on C++11 by Stroustrup.
Learn C++11 with CODE::BLOCKS 17.12 and not using the included wxWidgets. -
Thank you dev7060.
Did you try those work-arounds that I suggested? I am really new at C++11, but they seem maybe logical.
I had been surprised to find that some work around might be required to force the use of float to supply validly usable math returns. I am glad that I checked line by line in my math and verified the results.Leave a comment:

Where is the Winbond TPM Trusted Platform Module on an IBM Thinkpad T43?
Where is the Winbond TPM Trusted Platform module on an IBM ThinkPad T43?
Some background in my thinking that it is findable:Recently someone installed Windows XP Pro from a Microsoft CD which had a scratch in it's surface. The install was onto an IBM laptop. The next few times that the laptop was started it did not show *any* TPM activity.
Background History before this event:Previously with XP Pro installs to that laptop;... -
What if you tried it like this:
...Code:if(gamemode==blackjack){ srand((int)time(0)); while(i++ < 1){ unsigned int d unsigned int x int d = (rand()%20)+1; cout<<d<<" "<<endl; s=s+d; int x = (rand()%20)+1;Last edited by rollerbladegirl; Feb 16 '20, 01:16 AM. Reason: I gave an option that was wrong. I removed it.Leave a comment:

If I my suggest:
A little bit of basic math examples

A little bit more than that

A little bit of using PHP array_sum() Function

You guys are great. All of you. I really enjoy reading your discussions. Hours ago I had intended to try to find old service packs 2 and 3 for SQL 7.0 and ended up on this site (again!) and here I still am. You guys are great reading.
This one was intense. Thanks.Leave a comment:

Wow. I am seeing a pattern here.- I see an interesting title to a post.
- I go there and start to read.
- I stop reading and scroll down the page to see if gits removed any spam url links from it. If so then I generally do not want to read the post.
- I read what gits says about the post to see if I will like the post.
Well done gits. That is the job of a senior editor.

Is that in .net?
It has been a while since I programmed in visual basic 4 / 5 / 6, but I do not remember stuff like
lstMisc.Items.A dd
except if the lstMisc was a name of a form.
Shouldn't the post be moved to the .NET forum?Leave a comment:

No.
"The web development industry is undoubtedly growing at a very fast rate."
There is doubt about that. It looks like the web development industry has been gradually slowing down for years. It also looks like many businesses have become anti-web-site-owners, meaning that they have tried to get rich quick on the internet and found that the scammers and know-it-alls (which proclaimed that the loudest noise...Leave a comment:

It looks like you are using VBA, which reminds me that in the past I programmed in VB6(sp5). I looked and I have a couple of links that you might find useful.
http://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?code/main/index.html
Huge amount of VB6(sp5) on that site that you might find useful for VBA.
And another page that I had saved years ago, and now find that it is a broken link. Does not open for me on the internet....Leave a comment:

Top of Google listing
Tell the truth.
Tell the truth and do not even slightly suggest anything that is misdirecting.
Google is rich. Google might well afford to pay armies of people to read what is put into their system via ad-words, keywords, optimization attempts, etc.
Think about this. With Google being so rich, there might be someone from Google that goes to your web site and looks it over, page by page, reading, reporting, filling... -
Float value is wrong and float error
Float has not always been interpreted correctly.
I suggest using float. I like float. It is a powerful tool. But, if you use it, then be careful to test the returned results that you get from using it.
I am learning C++11. After much research and study I am using CODE::BLOCKS 17.12 (it is free). I am not using the wxWidgets, which seems to get in the way of my learning C++. C++11 seems to be the latest (in year 2020... -
Image Placeholders vs Not Image Placeholders
Image Placeholders vs Not Image Placeholders, that is the question.
That has been discussed before, but it is still relevant. Back years ago when internet speeds were much slower, it was a big consideration. Now, with huge web pages and lots of images and with many more people using the internet, even though the internet is faster, it is still a big consideration.
Using image placeholders;...

Thank you SioSio.
I do appreciate your answer.
A few years ago I was working on programming an advanced physics application. I went to a college physics professor (PhD in Physics) and asked if the formula that I was inputting was correct. His response was that the formula was correct and that the formula was so advanced that he would put it on the seniors' final test as an extra-credit to see how they would even approach...Leave a comment:

Thank you SioSio.
I apologize for thinking that some might not know the following. Please forgive me, but such a reply of VS code and further statements seem to indicate that still some people do not know some things. I do not know C++11, and I understand not knowing. I will try to be gentle and conversational in my explaining some of this.
If I recall correctly, VB6 begins with a single code page for the programmer,...Leave a comment:

Why is it so difficult to get C++11 answers?
Why is it so difficult to get C++11 answers?
I mean that. It is not a typo.
I have asked various questions on various sites and I received "Visual Studio" C++ stuff. Then I spent hours (sometimes days) reading and researching and then programming almost randomly until I got the worthless (to me) Visual Studio stuff to be converted to usable (to me) C++11 programming code.
