I started coding in HP Time Shared Basic (TSB - basically Dartmouth Basic) when I was at school (earlyish 1970's) and found I had an aptitude for it. I wrote programs to assist with school...

Thirty-five years - you're just getting into the swing of things! I've been coding for fifty years. :p :p :wave:

For Deletion, an option is to just mark the element as deleted for retrieval purposes but present for tree structure. If the deleted element is re-inserted then just remove the delete mark.

This can be done directly without performing any conversion. Consider something like (not tried as I don't use VB):



Dim degA As Long, minA As Long, secA As Long
Dim degB As Long, minB As...

The wa-21 link put me on the right track. You have to change DEC character set to get the line drawing characters

All working OK now.

VT100 defines the line drawing chars as those between 208-213, 218 and 247-251 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VT100_encoding ). However when I try to display the line drawing characters with these...

I don't use VB - so I'm guessing that you shouldn't return std::string from RK_GetNameObjectID(int ID) as VB won't know what to do with it. The c++ std::string class uses dynamic memory to store the...

Time travel anyone?

localtime() isn't one of the documented functions for quickc. See Appendix B of:
https://www.pcjs.org/documents/books/mspl13/c/mspqc/

Same here. Had a couple of timeouts.

Yep, Pascal doesn't allow this type of code. You'd either have to have vars say AL and AS defined at the beginning of the block or possibly a variant type.
Pascal allows variable definitions at the...

They require a null-terminated array of ASCII chars (bytes) (the same format that atof() requires as a param). Is this a byte-array in VB? I don't use VB.

For split a byte array can VB6 use the c function strtok? This returns a pointer to the next string delimited by a char(s). The found delimiter is replaced by NULL - giving you null-terminated...

With Quick Sort you need to choose a 'viable' pivot. In the worst-case scenario, which occurs when the smallest or largest element is chosen as the pivot, Quick Sort shows a time complexity of O(n^2)...

Re ISAM. The beauty of ISAM is that you can create a file with multiple indexes and use these indexes to quickly locate required record(s). So from the TYPE in post #61 you might have an ISAM file...

When I have to deal with multiple pointer dereferences (which I agree can be an absolute pain in the ****) I tend to draw diagrams representing memory and pointers and give value(s) to memory (such...

When adding a number (n) to a pointer, c/c++ always treats n as the number of 'items' to be added - where 'item' is the type pointed to by the pointer. So if T is a pointer to int then T + 3 will add...

Is it ISAM you don't understand or using ISAM within QB? If it's ISAM there's plenty of info on the Internet.

Bring back pascal/Delphi! You can specify the bounds of arrays as a type:
