09:50.57 | bilarh | i'll give it to my mum when she comes over i think |
09:51.11 | Leeds | better maybe, wait until you have guests who do drink, and give it to them - and get an opinion on it, so you can pass it back to the neighbours |
10:00.33 | antiphase | Start drinking wine, it's good for you |

15:37.54 | niv_one_three | ok, |
15:38.15 | niv_one_three | simple question, I am building a calculator |
15:38.30 | niv_one_three | I need to input a sign as + - or * |
15:38.30 | etorix | 1+1=2 |
15:38.35 | antiphase | You can buy them for a couple of quid |
15:38.40 | niv_one_three | I am using ansi C |
15:38.43 | antiphase | Not worth making your own |
15:38.43 | dick_turpin | Casio has already done it :-( |
15:39.14 | niv_one_three | as it is a char - must I use getchar ? can I use scanf() for this? |
15:39.19 | wethrin | Is it an RPN calculator? |
15:39.34 | niv_one_three | what is rpn ? |
15:39.38 | wethrin | you can use scanf() - IIRC, %c reads a character |
15:39.42 | wethrin | Reverse Polish Notation |
15:39.44 | niv_one_three | it should take very large numbers |
15:39.53 | wethrin | An arbitrary precision calculator? |
15:40.05 | wethrin | String handling in C is hateful |
15:40.05 | antiphase | Depends if you're supposed to be doing the ASCII->decimal conversion yourself |
15:40.08 | niv_one_three | yes just a basic drill |
15:40.15 | antiphase | Get scanf to do it for you ;) |
15:40.24 | niv_one_three | right - how ? |
15:40.25 | wethrin | scanf still needs hints :) |
15:40.38 | antiphase | "format strings" |
15:40.43 | niv_one_three | scanf("%s",sign); ?? |
15:40.51 | antiphase | Do you not have a text book or some other reference? |
15:40.56 | antiphase | %s is string |
15:41.05 | wethrin | doesn't %s terminate at a space, though? |
15:41.06 | niv_one_three | I got google and you guys |
15:41.08 | wethrin | Or am I being a moron? |
15:41.27 | niv_one_three | I should find a book |

17:12.12 | boudiccas | Armand; the majority of the English snuff in the Uk is just flavoured tobacco |
17:12.38 | Armand | Well, that's what I thought.. but I've never touched the stuff. |
17:12.50 | boudiccas | whereas indian snuff [from India] does put other flavourings and other ingredients in |
17:13.12 | cpufreak | weed isn't illegal here |
17:13.54 | Armand | It is in the UK, but it depends on how much you have on you. |
17:14.53 | Armand | "personal use" is ok.. upto 10 joints worth. Although that's bollocks as I know guys who will put an eighth in 1 joint. |
