Xupicor is really, really tired these last few days...

Posts I've Made

In Topic: DIC 2012 Community Awards- Winners

Posted 20 Jan 2013

I'm third... *Dazzled*
I mean, thank all of you who have taken your precious time and voted for me. I honestly did not deserve it, but I'm quite touched and, well, startled.

Congratulations for all the winners, you made it.
In Topic: Initializing class member variables?

Posted 11 Dec 2012

Okay, my bad then.
In Topic: changing elements in array

Posted 9 Dec 2012

When in doubt - read the docs!

string::find doesn't return bool but size_t signifying a position at which sequence was found. If it's not found, string::npos is returned.
In Topic: When does a destructor run in C++

Posted 9 Dec 2012

@OP, and my example

That goes without saying that if you want to know what happens you really should get some good source (recommended C++ books, ISO/IEC C++ standard if your stomach is up to it) and read about what is guaranteed and what is not.

TIAS (Try It And See) is great, but remember that with C and C++ just because code compiles and "works" doesn't mean it's valid. Also, just because your compiler does some things some way doesn't always mean that some other won't do it differently. There are things that are guaranteed by the language standard, but... Undefined behaviours are not as hard to invoke as you'd think, so beware.

TL;DR: If you find yourself guessing at something, then stop and check source material.
In Topic: Initializing class member variables?

Posted 9 Dec 2012
@Midi_ - Note that you didn't initialize your variable here:
```
Circle::Circle(){
    pi = 3.14;
}
```
You assigned a value to it, that's different. If you want to initialize it, you need to use initialization list:
```
Circle::Circle() : pi(3.14) {
  // ...
}
```
Even if you don't see it at first, there is a difference. See below:
```
// obj is an object of class B
// value is an object of class C
A::A() {
  obj = value; 
}
```
Here, first, default constructor B::B() is called, after that obj is fully initialized, then B::operator=(const C& value) is called.
```
A::A() : obj(value) { }
```
And here parametrized constructor B::B(const C& value) is called and initializes obj.

See the difference? The first code can even prevent compilation if class B has no fitting operator=.

So, do you read comics? Like Archie or something..?

Well, DIC decided to cut your comment, but still left enough for me to understand what you said :D
And Asimov is also on my list, but I just can't find the time to read his works with studies, gaming and programming hogging up all of my time...

Oh, and just because you did this, I am also double-posting on your profile.

Well, I disagree. But either way, everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
And I understood your meaning after googling a little bit :D

Well, the last book you suggested to me was Song of Fire and Ice, and I really loved it. So, I think I'll take your suggestion this time :)
