No, no. That was good. I was actually doing the problem right. My answer was the same as yours. Thanks~

I just fail with fractions 6 out of 10 times. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

[Chicken]

Double post, because this is really important.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a college essay topic? I need some help. =/

[Saffy]

You need to give us more information than that.

[Chicken]

That is the information. It's really that vague. D;

[Saffy]

Well, are there any particular fields you would be interested in? How long it the essay supposed to be?

[Chicken]

Atleast 3/4 of a written page long. So really short. I don't know what I want to be. For the longest time I've wanted to be a pharmaceutical scientist, but recently, I've been thinking about social work. So I don't know? I just don't want the typical, "This is why I want to be whatever."

[Peter]

Write about a country/culture. That's an easy 9183 pages alone.

[Harvest Sprite]

So. One of these stupid logic problems was finding an easy way/formula to add all the numbers from 1-100. So I came up with 1-10=55, 11-20=155, so 55+155+255+355 up to 955. I thought it would be an interesting point of discussion to find some. That and our teacher is pissed cause our other teacher gave us the same question Freshman year.

Good topics to use are eye-opening experiences. For example, if you got to know someone who you normally wouldn't have (like a foreigner or an elderly person) and they made you more aware of the world and how big it is. Also good would be something like if you stayed cool under pressure at a time when everyone else was freaking out during an emergency situation. The key thing is they want to see how you see yourself, and they'll be able to do that from reading your stuff. If you write about something stupid like "the time Daisy had puppies and I was so happy" then they'll think you're 8 years old. They want to hear your life lessons and your proudest moments.

If you're still stuck on what's good or not, make up a list and I'll be able to pick out the best ones.

[Chicken]

Wow, they're both such good ideas. I think I might be able to combine them, actually. Thanks. Topic equals, "How 2 Foreign Exchange Students from Korea Made Me More Aware of the World." Except, it will sounds a lot better than that, because, well, you know. That sentence sounded a little weak. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

[Lindstrom]

If you do, make sure you explain what they really made you aware of. How do the exchange students act differently from Americans? How are you different for having gotten to know them? And most significantly, how is it important that there's a difference? Things like that.

Consider typing something up, I'll give it a read. If you really can't answer those questions meaningfully, then you might wanna consider a change of topic. I would figure something along the lines of how the world is no longer centered around the US, as it always seemed from reading history books. Maybe write about how the world is changing and most people don't realize it.

Fun fact: South Korea has the world's highest rate of internet connection. US is somewhere in the 20's.

urm, sorry for went missing for few days while asking a question in this thread.
I hope you guys still willing to help me

anyway, I've done some memory digging, trying to remember what my lecturer taught in class last week, and I've come up with this as the solution of the programming question that I asked

# include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
int main() {
int a, b,c,d;
printf("Please input 4 digits:");
scanf("%d%d%d%d",&a,&b,&c,&d);
if((a == b) && (b == c) && (c == d))

printf("There are same numbers\n");

else
printf("There are no same numbers\n");

getch();
return 1;
}

however, it is different from what Jason gave me. I need to put a space between the 4 numbers that I inputted. If I didnt give space in between, the program doesnt work.

so, mind telling me the answer to that? What should I do so that I can just put 4 numbers without need to give any spaces between the numbers ?

thank you >_<

[Saffy]

Well, the problem is that scanf is looking for a string of numbers. Say you get the number 4321, well scanf doesn't know where each number ends. It just knows you're looking for numbers. scanf will look for blocks that resemble numbers and then pass you those back. Since there's no space, tab, line break, or character that's not a number it has no idea where each number would end. At least, that's my undestanding - I've never used scanf.

I would personally just put he input into a string and then traverse each character to turn it into an int from a char. You would do this using atoi(). In your case, you could just have the user input four different numbers at a time?

[Rui L'cie]

I'm a bit confused here..(I'm sorry, but this is really confusing >_<)
so how do you change from char to int?

[Jason]

Saffy is on the right track, be he is kind of over complicating the solution.

Like he said, the reason why you have to put spaces for int values in is because int variables can contain more than one character. Naturally, it can be 1 or 1111. So if you don't put spaces in, only the variable "a" will contain your 4 digit number. "b", "c", and "d" will be empty.

The solution would be to use something that can ONLY contain one character. This is "char". To prevent unnecessary converting, you should just declare them as chars in the first place.

CODE

char a,b,c,d;

CODE

scanf("%c%c%c%c",&a,&b,&c,&d);

Try using those two lines instead.

I need some help with a Medieval Japan assignment.
If anyone could just send me some links with specific information it would help A LOT. Because I'm a lazy-arse searcher as you all should know. Now I'm not asking for all these topics to be answered but any from the list would mean so much to me.

- Role of woman
- Working conditions
- Climate
- Natural resources
- Role of Emperor
- Rise of powerful Daimyo warlords
- Transportation
- Cooking

[Mizukithepanda]

When you say Medieval Japan, are you referring to the time frame before, after, or during the Ashikaga Shogunate? (Which was in power from 1336 to 1573.)

I should be able to pull up some good links if I know that much. :)

[Charmy]

Ummm.... I really don't know. Since I can't say that I know what Ashikaga Shogunate is. D: Most likely during.

[Mizukithepanda]

The Ashikaga Shogunate was the ruling power (under the Emperor) during the Muromachi Period (which is otherwise known as the Feudal Era - or part of it at least.) Since you mentioned the "Rise of Daimyo Warlords", that should be the right era. Hold on here a few minutes and I'll see what I can pull up. We don't need you resorting to taking fanciful bullshit from Inuyasha for your project after all. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

[Charmy]

Ah. Yes. I remember the teacher mentioning Feudal a few times. Thank you Mizuki~ Well, I'll just wait in the mean time. I shall play the waiting game!
