In the pipe five by five

- One by one,

- Two by two,

- Five by five.

The famous saying is

1. "In the pipe five by five." you can hear this word in the game "Starcraft". but the original word in the movie "Aliens". "We're in the pipe, five by five."

2. In the bible, we can find "Noah brought all animals into the ark two by two"

Code Complete 1, in the floating point

Thin book is a great, wonderful, and fantastic.

How can he write this book, is he a genious?

In the floating point operation,

double dwNormal = 1.0;
double dwSum = 0;

int i = 0;
for (i=0; i<10; i++)
{
dwSum += 0.1;
TRACE("dwSum: %1.20f\n", dwSum);
}

if (dwSum == dwNormal)
{
TRACE("Numbers are the Same.");
}
else
{
TRACE("Numbers are Differnet.");
}

Can you guess the result?
dwSum == dwNormal is True or False?
In normal case, the result is False.
dwSum = 0.99999999999999989
In normal case, floating point precision, usually be represented to only 7 ot 15 digits of accuracy.

dwSum: 0.10000000000000001000
dwSum: 0.20000000000000001000
dwSum: 0.30000000000000004000
dwSum: 0.40000000000000002000
dwSum: 0.50000000000000000000
dwSum: 0.59999999999999998000
dwSum: 0.69999999999999996000
dwSum: 0.79999999999999993000
dwSum: 0.89999999999999991000
dwSum: 0.99999999999999989000

C code refactoring

refactoring & restructuring

refactoring is same input and output of function arguments

just change into the function's code

restructuring is same input and output of function argument or NOT.

In the project middle term, refactoring and/or restructuring

End of project, restructuring is NOT recommended, restructuring is recommended.

Video Clips

Nowadays in the Internet  we can download many video clips.

About 10 years ago, was it possible? In 1994 or 1995, at the university I downloaded many video clips from Broadcast companies or BBS. At that time I could not think, nowadays famous service, video clip streaming service. If I were known that service ...

So nowadays, through those service, I can watch many video clips such as Music video, TV show, Japan animation, and etc. Now it is related copyright, but it is possible ;-).

And more important information is,

I get more knowledge, I want to watch more video clips.

Nowadays, I like "Girl's generation".

display calculation result, long expression

In the C code, if the input value is very large and include fraction expression,

for example 3.141592 or 6350.29318. And want to display those values exactly.

How can you deal those values?

Now, I'm thinking, I use value shift and divide integer part and decimal part.

 3.141592 = 3 + 0.141592

 6350.29318 = 6350 + 0.29318

In the C language

 First, multiply big or large number

 6350.29318 * E14 = 635029318000000000

 and divide that value 6350 & 29318

 and check the decimal point, i.e., 5

 Second, use the sprintf(...) function

  such as "sprintf(SzTestResult, "%d.%0*d", lInteger, nDecimalPoint, lDecimal);"

And my question is, if there is or are  the C language exporter(s), how he or they deal(s) this issue?

::ShellExecute

Previous time, I used "WinExec(...)" function to execute windows application.

But other persion use the other windows API to execute windows application instead of "WinExec(...)". That function name is "ShellExecute(...)".

If you want to open web site (www.google.com) with internet explorer, you can write code as followed

 ::ShellExecute(

     NULL, 

     L"open", 

     L"http://www.google.com", 

     L"", 

     NULL, 

     SW_SHOWNORMAL);

But if you want open NEW web site in the NEW internet explorer, you can write code as followed

 ::ShellExecute(

     NULL, 

     L"open", 

     L"iexplore.exe", 

     L"http://www.apple.com", 

     NULL, 

     SW_SHOWNORMAL); 

How to build UNICODE in the Visual C++ 6.0

In the Visual C++ 6.0, if you want to compile UNICODE code,

You should chagne some configuration.

1. in the project, you delete _MBCS and input _UNICODE.

 [Project] -> [Settings] -> [C/C++ tab] -> [General Category]

  in the Preprocessor definitions, change _MBCS to _UNICODE

2. If you meet "Cannot open MFC42ud.dll(mfc42u.lib, mfcs42d.lib, or etc)"

 Copy the MFC library to your local machine. 

 From CD \VC98\MFC\LIB\all files to \Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\MFC\Lib\ directory

3. [Project] -> [Settings] -> [Link] 

 In the Object/libary modules, insert mfc42u.lib

And compile the source code.

If you will see "msvctl.lib:error LNK2001 :unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16~~~"

 [Project] -> [Settings] -> [Link] 

 In the Entry-point symbol set "wWinMainCRTStartup"

That's all.
