Hi everyone

New guy in forum. Read beginners forum posting rules.

I have 2 questions.

------ taken from beginners forum rules ------------------------------------
Before You Ask
Before asking a question a, do the following:
1.Try to find an answer by searching the archives of the forum you plan to post to.
2.Try to find an answer by searching the Web.
3.Try to find an answer by reading the manual.
4.Try to find an answer by reading a FAQ.
5.Try to find an answer by inspection or experimentation.
6.Try to find an answer by asking a skilled friend.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

1st question:

What is nº7 ? I need one more before i ask something. Big Lol.


2nd question:

------ taken from beginners forum rules ------------------------------------
If you write like a semi-literate boob you will very likely be ignored. So don't use instant-messaging shortcuts.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is a semi-literate boob ? boob or bob ? Big L(o)(o)l.


Note: I really hope that this forum has some sense of humour. I think they are coming after me. Lol.

Definition of boob (Entry 1 of 4)
1: a stupid awkward person : SIMPLETON

so, from that, we get that... semi-literate boob is redundant, and, you violated #2 !

And, unrelated, but looking up boob on the internet for you was at least "interesting and informative". Moreso than 'how do linked lists work" anyway.

kidding aside, we are not that strict. the unofficial forum rules are simply
- try to be nice
- try to figure it out for yourself first, and we will not do homework for you
- post code with your question, when applicable
- use code tags to format code.

RE: using code tags when posting code, output & quotes....the following is boilerplate, do read the links.

PLEASE learn to use code tags, they make reading and commenting on source code MUCH easier.

HINT: you can edit your post and add code tags.

Some formatting & indentation would not hurt either

Guilty ... Guilty ... it's entry 1 of 4 ... not 4 of 4 .. i violated #2 ... Lol

I thank you all for the tips

Damn, I was hoping to say that!


@forgottencoder, here are some helpful rules that I've compiled during my time here:

Rules & Regulations for posting on C++ forums

1: Try your best to solve your problem on your own before posting; no one appreciates people dumping their homework assignments without even trying to do them first.

2: Explain your problem or assignment very clearly (or just post the assignment itself).

3: Post whatever code you have already written, so we can see that you've actually made some effort on it, as well as any compiler errors, warnings, etc that you are having trouble with. This is linked to 1 above.

4: When you post your code, use code tags:

http://www.cplusplus.com/articles/jEywvCM9/
http://www.cplusplus.com/articles/z13hAqkS/

It makes your code easier to read, along with proper indenting (just copy and paste your code directly from your IDE to preserve formatting).

Good luck and I hope you have fun on this forum!
