Kobojunkie: You are taking a programming course and you are not really a programming person? Why are you here to waste our time then?

I don't think the OP asked Kobojunkie anything. Rather, he asked anyone who wouldn't mind wasting his/her time to provide a solution. So if someone is wasting *your* time, well, it's you yourself ;-)

harryobas: @mkwayisi Programming is one of the activities performed during software development. Which means programming is part of software development.

I believe we all learned that in our "Computer Programming 101" class. Clearly, you are talking from a "software engineer"'s perspective but I'm coming from that of a "programmer"'s. Do you *get it* now?

@lordZOUGA: I don't think your code would even compile or perhaps I'm not reading it right. Did you really write "number = number / MULTIPLE
findDigit(number);"?

If so, I think you'd need to return the last expression and terminate the preceding statement too ;-)

I TOTALLY agree with you. Point well made! I know a lot of programmers who have a dozen languages under their belts but do not know how to implement a hash table, recursive binary search, or even a linked list. I find that very heart-breaking.

Also, I've seen many rich "software engineers" who's banking software is vulnerable to SQL injection at the login prompt!

So I guess there's more to programming than just software development too.

lordZOUGA: @ekt_bear, an attempt to make your algorithm reusable. No strings
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
int findDigit(long long);

int main(){
long long aNumber;

cin >> aNumber;

int myDigit = findDigit(aNumber);

cout << "first digit is "<< myDigit << endl;

return 0;
}

//func def
#define MULTIPLE 10

int findDigit(long long number){
/*since a digit number is always less than 10, we divide with 10 till we get our digit*/
if(number < MULTIPLE)
return number;
number = number / MULTIPLE
findDigit(number);
}

Complete waste of CPU cycles. Honestly, do you really think your code is reusable? I think not. Prove if you think otherwise ;-)

Am I missing something? What's up with this casting and long data types. Ain't it as simple as this:

#include <iostream>
int main()
{
int num = 12345;
std::cout << "Left-most digit: " << num / 10000;
return 0;
}

Well, it's quite simple: build it!
I'm assuming you already know how to code.

naija_swag: nearly 1year 6months doing java.almost done with my first software,a hotel management software(desktop based).can't wait to get paid.am still interested in c++ or it may be python,love to do one functional language say haskell.once i commence sale of my software,i intend to immense myself deeply in algorithms programming for six months.

Good luck. From where I am, businesses don't want to sign a deal because I've got no "big" references. So I've decided to make free software for a while so I can build a strong portfolio.
P.S.: And overprice your software too. Many people think "more expensive" = "better quality". Is that true, Linus?

EDIT: Duplicate

Perhaps many people (including myself) do not know what a "Sis file" is?

@delomos: Not true. Anything is possible under the sun. You just have to look deeper.

@csharpjava: WTF! Are you kidding?

@OP: You will surely need *deep* low-level programming and image manipulation knowledge. I'd really like to see you start something on this. You'll do millions of web developers around the globe a great deal of good.

delomos: What is your database schema like?

Does it matter?

This is an extremely interesting read. I didn't laugh out loud, though

For me I'd say instantaneously! I developed a site, never sought a link from any site, never submitted it to Google or any other SE but found its way into their index after 48 hours. Amazing, huh! I'd say just do the right stuff and the SEs will be chasing your site. No need to buy links, you can do it on your own.

No yawa, I disagree with your definition of SEM! SEO is totally distinct from SEM itself. SEM is just marketing your site via SEs while SEO is the art and science of seeking top place in SERP!

If I were you, I'd track the one who hacked and hack him/her back. There are software out there that can do that for you or if you're a designer, develop a site that looks professional and authentic then find a way to let the person enter his/her pass, ta-dah! You've got his/her pass. log into the account, change the current pass so he/she could never log in again unless he pays a ransom. You can make some cool money!

It's so simple. You just have to seek more links from pages with PR6 or above and within two weeks your PR will shoot up.
