Need programming help?

[MrBobVilla]

If you need programming help, post your problems here and I will do my best to help you. I will be able to help the most with Java,C++, and Python questions but post about any language you want and I will do my best to help you out.

It has been so long since I've actually programmed with c++ I don't actually remember anything except to close brackets, and to defign your varibles. Maybe after I get back into it, I will be able to make use of this thread. ^^;  

[MrBobVilla]

Hmm..
I think you should try out python then.
No defining variables and no brackets. So you would be off to a fresh start. hehehe...

I want to know if there's a way to log how long certain home computer users are online. If you are confused about what I mean just pm me sweatdrop  

[MrBobVilla]

Im not sure what you mean by online. Do you mean logged onto the computer or actually on the internet? What you are describing a lot of people would probably consider spyware ^_^;
But you could do it in C or C++ relatively easilly if you just want to know how long someone is logged in, but only if you can get the program to run on each log in. This is easy if people log off each time they are done using the pc. Not so easy if they dont...

MrBobVilla, do you have any knowledge with Ruby, by any chance?

Hmm... well I just want to moniter someone's computer usage. She tends to abuse how long she's on the computer. Would there be a way for the program to create text logs as well? So that they can be saved to look at later... Hmmm..  

[MrBobVilla]

Yes but when she is using the computer how does she physically log in to the computer? Does she have to enter a username and password?

Yes, sadly we're running on windows xp home..

There are 5 users, technically 4 because one of the accounts is never used

boy dont i ever wish i knew about this
this past year at school
lawl
i suck at c++ -(c# is easier imo)-
but i got a pretty good grade on it.

heh so i guess i don't need help
just sayin good for you for offering a place
to help us somewhat -(and i guess more than somewhat)-
programming-challenged folk

 

[There_Goes_My_Decaf]

yeah...im using Turbo C++...would you recommend me a compiler...because this one isnt exactly the best...  

[CosmicSweetss]

I heard that your programming interpriter can mix languages like Perl with C and Python, so you can use different languages to make one proggy.

Innit that awesome?!

This isn't really a programming question moreso as it is a mathematics question.


Recently I've been working on a new encryption method. It works by splitting a string into 8 smaller strings, using it's own algorithm to do so. However, I've been trying to split the string after it's been changed to binary. But when I do so, each smaller string length is the same length as the original string (due to the 8 string / 8-bit byte splitting). However I fear if I split the string by it's original content, then change it to binary and apply my algorithms, they will either be incomplete, or will always yield the same outcome if they show up in a specific layer. The encryption would still be strong, but once cracked it would be susceptible to a character array and could be cracked by anyone.

OOH where can I be sneaky and gets a free version of Jcreator????
