Buckys C++ Programming Tutorials - 33 - Create an Array Using Loops

[MrPitbull917]

LOL "cout with me get your figures out"

[MrAlexanderHoff]

Another awesome tutorial. Thank you, Bucky!

[Hiccuple]

Thank god for your clear, concise, no-accent tutorials! I'm being taught the sesame street count and have hardly been able to understand a thing

[1Razerkey]

Watching this drunk! That's how I roll :P

[r00tring]

I will reccomend for everyone to watch every single video, from the beginning, because bucky has arranged the material concepts so good..

[hede56hodobnm]

which program is this? i am asking because of the non-required "return 0" and some cool accessories

[Ciemon]

@hede56hodobnm Codeblocks, which he showed you if you had watched from the start :)

[hede56hodobnm]

@Ciemon ok thanks.

[Ciemon]

@Vapula909 I believe not.

[Vapula909]

@Ciemon I just realized that he made a completely new set of tutorials... I watched 1-29 of the first series where he was using Dev-C++ and then from 30 on he was using this... I was wondering why he didn't mention the new IDE. sigh lol

[Ciemon]

@Vapula909 I thought you realised that when you deleted the comment above. Though I saw what you wrote in the email I got so I replied anyway... A little rub in your face ;)

Haha but seriously though, I kept missclicking so I ended up on the other tutorials instead of these too so I know how it happened!

[MrSoddish]

"What's one extra character?" BUCKY!?!?! Where did your laziness go!?!?!

[Ezraked]

@MrSoddish it was assigned a value of 99 :(

[MrLowesc]

mmmmm.....maybe use the random number generator from a previous lesson to fill array ????

[lVlegabyte]

@MrLowesc I know you posted this 4 months ago but I just had to say, thanks for the practice idea!

[cssadiction]

I'm confused, when he puts "x", why did that replace the int "bucky" he made? Does C++ automatically know that "x" can replace another int's name?

[Vorbis5]

@cssadiction 'x' didnt replace bucky, it just changed the index. as x went from 0 to 1 to 2 to 3 to 4..... bucky took that in like bucky[0] bucky[1] bucky[2].....

[cssadiction]

@Vorbis5 Ohh, I wasn't aware that you could make an int when in a loop. What I was taught to do was create the ints at the beginning of the function (or create it globally), then inside the for loop say x = 0 when declaring.

[Vorbis5]

@cssadiction You just dont want to declare the variables inside the loop body, otherwise everytime the loop repeats, it would redeclare the integer again each time, which is kinda bad. For the while loop you should do this: int sumNum = 50; int x = 0; while (x < 5) {sumNum -= 10; x++;} and not this: int x = 0; while (x < 5) {int sumNum = 50; sumNum -= 10; x++;}

[cssadiction]

@Vorbis5 Ohh I see now. C++ is so fucking annoying. I should stick to php until i got the experience to continue to such a language like c++. I guess it's all fun & games though.

[Vorbis5]

@cssadiction haha. just practice my friend

[onelerv1]

@cssadiction don't lose your motivation man.. If you don't understand something just keep practicing over and over and you'll get it... Programming learning curve is very hard to get over but once you are past the learning curve it gets easy.

[weswii]

@cssadiction yes

[deathbyaccident]

What compiler is this?

[coder1997]

@deathbyaccident codeblocks

[MrEnchom]

@kraeukai

the use of this is for example if you replace the bucky[x]=99 with user input cin>>bucky[x] or with some value you use . Depends in which program. This is just basic way to fill a array faster than typing all the elements!

[kraeukai]

but if you use this way you are allways assingning the same value to every index

and that is not the purpose of an array

so whats the use of this?

THANK YOU BUCKY!
