Thanks for the excellent response. I guess I have been spoiled by C#. It possesses a degree of orthogonality that often allows me to guess how something will work without looking it up. In fairness, C++ is much less familiar territory.

I've recently come back to Chili's tutorials after a long while and as I'm learning I keep wondering about some aspects of C++ that seem peculiar to me. So, in no particular order: 1.) Is there a consistent naming convention in the standard library? Is it defined somewhere? 2.) Why do names have to ...

I'm not sure what went wrong, but I re-downloaded the solution and this time it worked. It's like it didn't load it as a proper solution last time. Intellisense wasn't working, the options for Debug/Release and x86/x64 weren't separated properly and it was asking which file I wanted to use to start....

I cloned the repo and created a branch at I7 HW Start, but it fails immediately on running. I've made no changes. The error is: Filename: Sounds\Eat.wav Note: ios_base::failbit set: iostream stream error Location: Line [590] in snek\engine\sound.cpp Exception caught at Windows message loop I've conf...

Thanks cyboryxmen and albinopapa. Both of your solutions worked. You were both able to read the code and identify the problem. Is the object dump only supposed to indicate a problem without indicating where that problem might be?

My repo is here: https://github.com/CorpseLiquor/LinkedListStack/tree/HW-Start/LinkedListStack I'm passing all the tests but I have a few leaks. Unfortunately I'm not really clear on how I take the info in the object dump and use it to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I have a feeling some of the el...

Thanks albinopapa. I added a function to limit non alphanumeric characters and fixed readw so the string is properly null terminated. Seems to be functioning a lot better now. You can see the changes on github.

Here it is on github: https://github.com/CorpseLiquor/FileIO/ ... O/Main.cpp

I'm getting erratic behavior with the print function shown in the tutorial. Sometimes it overwrites text written to the console previously. For example: struct nvPair { char name[10]; char value[5]; }; nvPair pairs[100]; void printChart( nvPair pairs[], const int nameLength, const int valueLength, i...

Glad it's a bug. I couldn't see what could be inserting those extra null terminators in the code.
