THE RAGE: CARRIE 2 A film review by Matt Williams
RATING: 1/2 out of * * * *
Most horror films are hesitant to trumpet their lack of originality. That's not the case with The Rage: Carrie 2, which displays its copycat plot proudly. It has to...there's not much else which connects this film with the original Carrie. It's certainly nowhere near the dubious quality of Brian DePalma's mid-70s teen horror film. Heck, even Stephen King's name is no longer associated with this project (which should tell you quite a lot).
The Rage can call itself a sequel to Carrie by the thinnest thread. Sue Snell (Amy Irving), one of the tormenting teens of the original, is the only returning character. She has grown up into a school guidance counselor, determined to prevent the type of telekenetic violence she instigated twenty years earlier.
Emily Bergl stars as Rachel Lang, the teen you don't want to mess with in this sequel. Unlike the original Carrie, Rachel isn't a complete outcast. She's bonded with another white trash goth girl named Lisa (Mena Suvari), who also has low self-esteem. However, both girls are about to run afoul of the "popular" crowd.
It seems that the local jocks have a game they've been playing: to deflower and dump as many pathetic girls as possible. Lisa's reaction as a victim of this cruel game is predictable, but it really only serves as a plot device to further isolate Rachel.
When sensitive jock Jesse (Jason London) befriends Rachel, are his feelings true? Or is he merely luring her into a cunning trap which will unleash her psychic fury to kill?!? (Seeing as this is a "Carrie" movie, which do you think?)
In a strained attempt to link itself to the earlier film, The Rage contains several "flashbacks" to the original Carrie (most of which are quite a stretch). It even goes so far as to replay the original's "They're all going to laugh at you" line over and over again on the soundtrack.  It's as if the new film realizes it has failed to create anything even mildly creepy, and must dredge up the memories of the past in an attempt to shock.
The film is almost robotic in its mimicry of the original Carrie. At least the first film had originality on its side. With The Rage: Carrie 2, every step of the plot is irritatingly obvious, even to those who never saw the first film. You would at least think that, with such a detailed blueprint, the film would move along at a decent pace. Wrong again. The film is painfully sluggish in creeping towards its inevitable conclusion.
But, of course, the characters are completely oblivious of the utter predictability of their situation. No one even pays the slightest heed when windshields shatter without cause, and the school lockers have the darndest habit of exploding open at random times. These things would raise flags even in a town which hasn't had an entire senior class slaughtered by telekinetic violence. The filmmakers behind The Rage: Carrie 2 must be as oblivious as these students!
Certainly as an audience member, you wish you had their amazing powers of ignorance, both during and after the movie. As a horror film, The Rage: Carrie 2 is more likely to elicit groans than shrieks.

class Random
Random provides an interface to Ruby's pseudo-random number generator, or PRNG. The PRNG produces a deterministic sequence of bits which approximate true randomness. The sequence may be represented by integers, floats, or binary strings.
The generator may be initialized with either a system-generated or user-supplied seed value by using ::srand.
The class method #rand provides the base functionality of Kernel#rand along with better handling of floating point values. These are both interfaces to Random::DEFAULT, the Ruby system PRNG.
::new will create a new PRNG with a state independent of Random::DEFAULT, allowing multiple generators with different seed values or sequence positions to exist simultaneously. Random objects can be marshaled, allowing sequences to be saved and resumed.
PRNGs are currently implemented as a modified Mersenne Twister with a period of 2**19937-1.
Constants
- DEFAULT
Public Class Methods
Creates a new PRNG using seed
to set the initial state. If
seed
is omitted, the generator is initialized with ::new_seed.
See ::srand for more information on the use of seed values.
static VALUE random_init(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE obj) { VALUE vseed; rb_random_t *rnd = get_rnd(obj); if (rb_check_arity(argc, 0, 1) == 0) { rb_check_frozen(obj); vseed = random_seed(); } else { vseed = argv[0]; rb_check_copyable(obj, vseed); vseed = rb_to_int(vseed); } rnd->seed = rand_init(&rnd->mt, vseed); return obj; }
Returns an arbitrary seed value. This is used by ::new when no seed value is specified as an argument.
Random.new_seed #=><PHONE_NUMBER>00174366788466674494640623225
static VALUE random_seed(void) { VALUE v; uint32_t buf[DEFAULT_SEED_CNT+1]; fill_random_seed(buf, DEFAULT_SEED_CNT); v = make_seed_value(buf, DEFAULT_SEED_CNT); explicit_bzero(buf, DEFAULT_SEED_LEN); return v; }
Alias of Random::DEFAULT.rand.
static VALUE random_s_rand(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE obj) { VALUE v = rand_random(argc, argv, Qnil, rand_start(&default_rand)); check_random_number(v, argv); return v; }
Returns a raw seed string, using platform providing features.
Random.raw_seed(8) #=> "\x78\x41\xBA\xAF\x7D\xEA\xD8\xEA"
static VALUE random_raw_seed(VALUE self, VALUE size) { long n = NUM2ULONG(size); VALUE buf = rb_str_new(0, n); if (n == 0) return buf; if (fill_random_bytes(RSTRING_PTR(buf), n, FALSE)) return Qnil; return buf; }
Seeds the system pseudo-random number generator, Random::DEFAULT, with number
.
The previous seed value is returned.
If number
is omitted, seeds the generator using a source of
entropy provided by the operating system, if available (/dev/urandom on
Unix systems or the RSA cryptographic provider on Windows), which is then
combined with the time, the process id, and a sequence number.
srand may be used to ensure repeatable sequences of pseudo-random numbers between different runs of the program. By setting the seed to a known value, programs can be made deterministic during testing.
srand 1234 # =><PHONE_NUMBER>36777531569100071560086917274 [ rand, rand ] # => [0.1915194503788923, 0.6221087710398319] [ rand(10), rand(1000) ] # => [4, 664] srand 1234 # => 1234 [ rand, rand ] # => [0.1915194503788923, 0.6221087710398319]
static VALUE rb_f_srand(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE obj) { VALUE seed, old; rb_random_t *r = &default_rand; if (rb_check_arity(argc, 0, 1) == 0) { seed = random_seed(); } else { seed = rb_to_int(argv[0]); } old = r->seed; r->seed = rand_init(&r->mt, seed); return old; }
Public Instance Methods
Returns true if the two generators have the same internal state, otherwise false. Equivalent generators will return the same sequence of pseudo-random numbers. Two generators will generally have the same state only if they were initialized with the same seed
Random.new == Random.new # => false Random.new(1234) == Random.new(1234) # => true
and have the same invocation history.
prng1 = Random.new(1234) prng2 = Random.new(1234) prng1 == prng2 # => true prng1.rand # => 0.1915194503788923 prng1 == prng2 # => false prng2.rand # => 0.1915194503788923 prng1 == prng2 # => true
static VALUE random_equal(VALUE self, VALUE other) { rb_random_t *r1, *r2; if (rb_obj_class(self) != rb_obj_class(other)) return Qfalse; r1 = get_rnd(self); r2 = get_rnd(other); if (memcmp(r1->mt.state, r2->mt.state, sizeof(r1->mt.state))) return Qfalse; if ((r1->mt.next - r1->mt.state) != (r2->mt.next - r2->mt.state)) return Qfalse; if (r1->mt.left != r2->mt.left) return Qfalse; return rb_equal(r1->seed, r2->seed); }
Returns a random binary string containing size
bytes.
random_string = Random.new.bytes(10) # => "\xD7:R\xAB?\x83\xCE\xFAkO" random_string.size # => 10
static VALUE random_bytes(VALUE obj, VALUE len) { return genrand_bytes(get_rnd(obj), NUM2LONG(rb_to_int(len))); }
When max
is an Integer,
rand
returns a random integer greater than or equal to zero
and less than max
. Unlike Kernel#rand, when max
is
a negative integer or zero, rand
raises an ArgumentError.
prng = Random.new prng.rand(100) # => 42
When max
is a Float,
rand
returns a random floating point number between 0.0 and
max
, including 0.0 and excluding max
.
prng.rand(1.5) # => 1.4600282860034115
When max
is a Range,
rand
returns a random number where range.member?(number) ==
true.
prng.rand(5..9) # => one of [5, 6, 7, 8, 9] prng.rand(5...9) # => one of [5, 6, 7, 8] prng.rand(5.0..9.0) # => between 5.0 and 9.0, including 9.0 prng.rand(5.0...9.0) # => between 5.0 and 9.0, excluding 9.0
Both the beginning and ending values of the range must respond to subtract
(-
) and add (+
)methods, or rand will raise an ArgumentError.
static VALUE random_rand(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE obj) { VALUE v = rand_random(argc, argv, obj, get_rnd(obj)); check_random_number(v, argv); return v; }
Returns the seed value used to initialize the generator. This may be used to initialize another generator with the same state at a later time, causing it to produce the same sequence of numbers.
prng1 = Random.new(1234) prng1.seed #=> 1234 prng1.rand(100) #=> 47 prng2 = Random.new(prng1.seed) prng2.rand(100) #=> 47
static VALUE random_get_seed(VALUE obj) { return get_rnd(obj)->seed; }


USB Client
By default, USB client support is used for deploying and debugging applications. However, deploying and debugging can be switched to a serial mode using MOD pin, freeing the USB Client port to serve other purposes.
The USB port can also be freed by completely disabling the USB debug interface, which is a feature of ip protection.
Tip
Feature found in the GHIElectronics.TinyCLR.Devices.UsbClient NuGet and namespace
USB Mouse
In this mode, the hardware acts as a USB mouse. The driver supports absolute and relative modes. In relative mode, the MoveCursor
method will move the cursor from current location, where ever it might be. Meaning, MoveCursor(10,0)
followed by MoveCursor(-10,0)
will move the cursor and immediately move it back where it started.
In absolute mode, MoveCursor
sets the cursor from (0,0), which is in the top left corner of the screen.
var usbclientController = UsbClientController.GetDefault();
var absolutePosition = true;
var mouse = new Mouse(usbclientController, absolutePosition);
mouse.DeviceStateChanged += UsbClientDeviceStateChanged;
mouse.Enable();
//...
private static void UsbClientDeviceStateChanged(RawDevice sender, DeviceState state) {
var i = 0.0;
if (state == DeviceState.Configured) {
new Thread(() => {
while (true) {
((Mouse)sender).MoveCursor(
Mouse.MaxRange /4 + (int)(Math.Cos(i) * Mouse.MaxRange / 10),
Mouse.MaxRange /4 + (int)(Math.Sin(i) * Mouse.MaxRange / 10));
i+=0.03;
Thread.Sleep(50);
}
}).Start();
}
}
USB Keyboard
A USB Keyboard is simulated in this mode. The keys used can be Press
, Release
or Stroke
(which is same as a Press
followed by Release
).
var usbClientSetting = new UsbClientSetting() {
ManufactureName = "Manufacture_Name",
ProductName = "Product_Name",
SerialNumber = "serialnumber",
};
var usbclientController = UsbClientController.GetDefault();
var kb = new Keyboard(usbclientController, usbClientSetting);
var key = new Key[] { Key.G, Key.H, Key.I, Key.Space, Key.E, Key.L, Key.E, Key.C, Key.T, Key.R, Key.O, Key.N, Key.I, Key.C, Key.S };
kb.Enable();
while (kb.DeviceState != DeviceState.Configured)
Thread.Sleep(100);// wait or use events
kb.Press(Key.LeftShift);// hold shift down
for (var i = 0; i < key.Length; i++) {
kb.Stroke(key[i]);
Thread.Sleep(500);// type it twice a second
}
kb.Release(Key.LeftShift);// release shift
USB Joystick
Devices running TinyCLR OS can simulate a Joystick.
var usbclientController = UsbClientController.GetDefault();
var usbClientSetting = new UsbClientSetting() {
ManufactureName = "Manufacture_Name",
ProductName = "Product_Name",
SerialNumber = "serialnumber",
};
var joystick = new Joystick(usbclientController, usbClientSetting);
joystick.DeviceStateChanged += UsbClientDeviceStateChanged;
joystick.Enable();
Thread.Sleep(Timeout.Infinite);
//...
private static void UsbClientDeviceStateChanged(RawDevice sender, DeviceState state) {
if (state == DeviceState.Configured) {
new Thread(() => {
Joystick joystick = (Joystick)sender;
while (true) {
joystick.PressButton(0);
Thread.Sleep(500);
joystick.ReleaseButton(0);
Thread.Sleep(1000);
}
}).Start();
}
}
PC Data Transfer
This feature is used to transfer data between the hardware and a PC. See PC Data Comm for details.
USB Raw
For advanced users, virtually any type of USB device can be created using USB Raw. The USB mouse driver inside GHIElectronics.TinyCLR.Devices.UsbClient is a good example of how this can be achieved.

I am the former owner of M3 Bodyworks Massage Clinic in West Seattle. We employed up to 22 employees (18 LMP’s and 3 administration staff) from 2005 till the end of 2014. We averaged 500 – 600 appointments a month with 4 rooms, working with 2 shifts from 9 AM-Midnight.
I am a licensed massage practitioner in Washington State since 2004 (16 years). I studied at the Brian Utting School of Massage participating in its intensive 1,000 hours COMTA accredited professional massage license program. I am currently working on certificates in Upledger Craniosacral and Barrel Visceral manimpulation.
My prior employment includes extensive experience in Customer Service Management in multiple industries, receiving many service awards dealing with the public and private sectors. I left the high-tech industry after working with three failed “startups” during the Tech Boom in 2003. I worked with fortune 100 companies like Coke-a-Cola, MetLife, AIG, and Medtronic as a Senior Project Manager / Business Analyst before starting massage school.
I have worked with Customer Relation Management Systems/Salesforce Automation as well as Enterprise Portals and Accounting Systems. Most projects were combining and connecting systems together into an Enterprise Portal for centric goals and communication.

| Prev | Up | Chapter 52. GiST Indexes | Next |
Traditionally, implementing a new index access method meant a lot of difficult work. It was necessary to understand the inner workings of the database, such as the lock manager and Write-Ahead Log. The GiST interface has a high level of abstraction, requiring the access method implementer only to implement the semantics of the data type being accessed. The GiST layer itself takes care of concurrency, logging and searching the tree structure.
This extensibility should not be confused with the extensibility of the other standard search trees in terms of the data they can handle. For example, PostgreSQL supports extensible B-trees and hash indexes. That means that you can use PostgreSQL to build a B-tree or hash over any data type you want. But B-trees only support range predicates (<, =, >), and hash indexes only support equality queries.
So if you index, say, an image collection with a PostgreSQL B-tree, you can only issue queries such as "is imagex equal to imagey", "is imagex less than imagey" and "is imagex greater than imagey". Depending on how you define "equals", "less than" and "greater than" in this context, this could be useful. However, by using a GiST based index, you could create ways to ask domain-specific questions, perhaps "find all images of horses" or "find all over-exposed images".
All it takes to get a GiST access method up and running is to implement seven user-defined methods, which define the behavior of keys in the tree. Of course these methods have to be pretty fancy to support fancy queries, but for all the standard queries (B-trees, R-trees, etc.) they're relatively straightforward. In short, GiST combines extensibility along with generality, code reuse, and a clean interface.


Just What I Had Been Missing...
Cacti - T. peruvianus, Cannabis & Nitrous Oxide
I recently came across 70g of T. Peruvianus and decided to try it out. Being my first time I chewed only 15g of the material (yuck) just to see what it would do. Surprisingly (to me anyway) I had a fairly nice trip. Most of the day I drove around doing random things I needed to do. About 6 hours into it I found out that pot REALLY sets that stuff off. At this dose I didn’t really have many visual distortions, but everything took on a cartoon’ish glow and the body sensations were VERY nice. Overall a very positive trip.
A week later I decided to take the remaining 55g (yea, nearly 4x the amount), but this time I bought a coffee grinder and put it all in pills (130 pills).
10:00am – Here we go… I start taking the pills 3 at a time in 2 minute intervals.
11:00am – I’ve eaten about 50% of the pills. I feel a little odd in the stomach area, but nothing major. I haven’t eaten in about 14 hours, so that’s helping.  I think I’m feeling the first effects… lets smoke a bowl and see what happens. I end up doing this about 3 or 4 times throughout the day at random intervals.
12:00pm – Definitely feeling it. I keep forgetting to eat more pills, but that’s probably the pot. I’m getting that nice body buzz again, one of the more noticeable effects right now. Everthing looks more interesting now.
1:00pm – Finished eating the pills about half an hour ago. Everything is getting more of a glow to it. My friend J showed up a little after noon to see how I’m doing.
1:30pm? – Time is becoming difficult to deal with. We go pick up his new ski’s… riding around town is surreal. I can still tell I’m there, but I’m not sure how. When we get back I go to the toilet and relieve the remaining cactus from stomach… much nicer now.
4:00pm – We watch Fear and Loathing… very odd movie. J drives me out to get some food. MY GOD, where am I? This looks vaguely like the town I remember, but I can’t convince myself it’s real. It looks like one of those scenes out of an animated cartoon movie where they sometimes use computer generated scenery… it still looks like a cartoon, but a little too perfect. Still no real visual distortions, but it’s like everything I’m seeing is just a vision in my head. Playing a computer game is just as “real” as reality now.
5:??pm – I don’t exactly know why, but I heard a voice in my head say “Nitrous”. I thought, “wow, that would be nice… hey wait, I have some!” Two balloons and a comfortable chair. I look up before the launch and see that things are starting to move more now. That’s crazy, 7+ hours into the trip and I’m just NOW starting to see visuals? I’m also tripping harder than any time earlier today. 3… 2… 1… Blast-off!
,
,
,
,
,
,
OMG, that was amazing. I don’t even know how to describe it… I just went away… no room, no me, no anything… I probably could have moved, but I’d have to figure out how first.
9:00pm – Um, I’m still tripping harder… is this going to stop? I took a few more nitrous hits earlier, each better than the one before. The walls are moving around, but not like lsd. This is smoother and slower… much more natural feeling. Thought attempts itself, but fails, my body is pulsing, yet I am at peace.
12:00am – I felt the ending of the peak around 10pm, but I’m still in it. What a day it’s been. I try to sleep, but fail… still wide-awake at 2am… I manage to fall asleep somewhere between 4am-6am.
I’m so happy to have had this opportunity. Mescaline has become my drug of choice. When I look back on all my previous drug experiences (lsd, dpt, salvia, etc) they all seem either artificial or just something to do when I can’t find anything better. I feel as though I’ve been searching for the “right” drug, and I’ve finally found it… I’m not even in a hurry to do it again. I’ve seen the holes in my life, I’ve seen who and why I am me… everything makes sense… I feel complete.

IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1995 James Berardinelli
RATING (0 TO 10): 5.7
Date Released: 2/3/95 Running Length: 1:35 Rated: R (Violence, gore, language, general weirdness)
Starring: Sam Neill, Julie Carmen, Jurgen Prochnow, Charlton Heston, David Warner Director: John Carpenter Producer: Sandy King Screenplay: MIchael De Luca Cinematography: Gary B. Kibbe Music: John Carpenter and Jim Lang Released by New Line Cinema
The commercials for IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS remind us that John Carpenter is the man behind arguably the best modern horror film, HALLOWEEN. However, despite what the marketeers might wish us to believe, the pictures have little in common except for a few well-orchestrated scares. HALLOWEEN was creepy, atmospheric, cunningly scripted, and frightening. IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS is confusing, weird, and not very involving.
It's easy to sit back and impassively be impressed by some of what IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS attempts to do. Without gratuitous sex or gore, the film works to create an intelligent horror experience that mixes nightmares, reality, and fantasy. This is a tactic employed by the far better WES CRAVEN'S LAST NIGHTMARE, and here it feels a bit like a retread. Also, in pursuit of all his nifty ideas and mind-bending twists, writer Michael De Luca forgot to fashion believable characters. Despite a magnificently-entertaining performance by Sam Neill, his John Trent never really connects on any level with the audience.
In trying to be inventive and unique, the story occasionally manages instead to annoy and confuse. There's too much of the dream-within-a-dream-within-a-dream and other similar stuff going on. A little of this might have created a nice sense of ambiguity, but Carpenter overdoes it. As a result, his story gets buried too deeply beneath the overriding question of whether Trent is real and insane or a fictional character who's the only one aware of what's going on.
The uncertainty about Trent's identity arises because of a case he's on. As a hardboiled insurance investigator, he's used to dealing with cons, but the case of the missing Sutter Cane (Jurgen Prochnow) is like nothing he's previously done. Cane is a tremendously-popular, bestselling horror author whose books not only sell out as quickly as they arrive in stores, but have been known to provoke extreme reactions in some readers. Take Cane's agent, for example, who goes after Trent with an axe because of a passage in the latest book, IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS.
Anyway, Cane has disappeared and, accompanied by his editor, Linda Styles (played without flair by Julie Carmen), Trent is charged with the task of locating the missing author. The trail, which grows increasingly bizarre, takes the pair to the deserted town of Hobb's End, New Hampshire. At this point, we're reminded of sleepy Castle Rock in NEEDFUL THINGS. A little later, when we get a look at Cane's back, THE PUPPET MASTERS springs to mind.
 The final, missing ingredient--whether it's a hero we can really root for, a more engaging script, or a better actress as Linda--leaves Carpenter's latest firmly grounded in mediocrity. And, looking back to HALLOWEEN, we know he's capable of rising far above that. Maybe his next film, a remake of VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED, will remind us of the kind of great horror the director can give us.

Making Sense: Think back to your experiences in school. Identify if there were similar incidents to the incident described above in your community. Do you think that how people were seen by others influenced their behavior, meaning if a label was applied to a person did they adapt to the label? Or do you think that the person stayed the same?

Pushy is a Java library for sending APNs (iOS and OS X) push notifications.
Pushy sends push notifications using Apple's HTTP/2-based APNs protocol. Most users will interact with Pushy via the {@link com.eatthepath.pushy.apns.ApnsClient} class, which manages connections and sends notifications to the APNs server. Generally, {@code ApnsClient} instances are constructed by an {@link com.eatthepath.pushy.apns.ApnsClientBuilder}.
The {@link com.eatthepath.pushy.apns.util.SimpleApnsPushNotification} class provides a simple, concrete implementation of the {@link com.eatthepath.pushy.apns.ApnsPushNotification} interface. A push notification's payload is just a JSON text, and callers may construct payloads however they choose. Most users, though, will probably find the {@link com.eatthepath.pushy.apns.util.ApnsPayloadBuilder} class helpful for constructing push notification payloads.
Pushy is available under the MIT License.


Below is my first assignment with multidimensional arrays. I was able to create the 5x5 array with random numbers, I am just unsure to get the program to stop searching after it finds the first position of an integer so it only outputs one location and how to tell the user the number is not in the array. Here is what I have so far. Hope someone can help.
In this task, you will generate a 5×5 array and fill it with random integers between 0 and 24 inclusive. Of course, the numbers may not be distinct. For example, your array could look like this after it has been filled with random integers:
4 0 3 17 9
3 23 2 13 12
7 15 8 4 11
6 10 21 0 20
19 22 1 14 5
Now ask the user for an integer and search the array. If the number exists, tell the user the first location. In the above array, 4 exists in two position. The first is (0,0), so your program should output this. Since 21 exists in only one cell, your program should output (3,2).
void multiA (){
int size = 5;
int num;
int multiA[5][5];
srand(time(0));
for (int row = 0; row < size; row++)
{
for (int column = 0; column < size; column++)
{ //this will start at row 0 and column 0
multiA[row][column] = rand() %25; //column will increment by 1 and fill the board across row 0
cout << multiA [row][column]<< ' ';
} //once this goes through 5 columns it will exit, start a new line, and increment row by 1
cout << endl;
}
cout << "Please enter a integer to locate its position in the array.\n";
cin >> num;
for (int row = 0; row < size; row++){
for (int column = 0; column < size; column++){
if (num == multiA[row][column]){
int r,c;
r = row;
c = column;
cout << "The position of " << num << " is: (" << r << "," << c << ")\n";
//added break; here but did not stop searching if there was more than on number
} //cant have an else statement here saying number is not in array because it only searched in that specific row and column
//also tried adding break; here
}
}
}
void multiA(){
int size = 5;
int num;
int multiA[5][5];
srand( time( 0 ) );
for( int row = 0; row < size; row++ )
{
for( int column = 0; column < size; column++ )
{ //this will start at row 0 and column 0
multiA[row][column] = rand() %25; //column will increment by 1 and fill the board across row 0
cout << multiA[row][column]<< ' ';
} //once this goes through 5 columns it will exit, start a new line, and increment row by 1
cout << endl;
}
cout << "Please enter a integer to locate its position in the array.\n";
cin >> num;
r = -1; c = -1;
for( int row = 0; row < size; row++ ){
for( int column = 0; column < size; column++ ){
if( num == multiA[row][column] ){
int r, c;
r = row;
c = column;
cout << "The position of " << num << " is: (" << r << "," << c << ")\n";
break;
}
}
if( r != -1 ) // if a row was found
break;
}
}
I'm assuming r and c are global. if not, you need to declare them.
break; only exits the current loop. since you're nesting two loops, you need to add the additional trap on the outer loop.
void multiA(){
int size = 5;
int num;
int multiA[5][5];
srand( time( 0 ) );
for( int row = 0; row < size; row++ )
{
for( int column = 0; column < size; column++ )
{ //this will start at row 0 and column 0
multiA[row][column] = rand() %25; //column will increment by 1 and fill the board across row 0
cout << multiA[row][column]<< ' ';
} //once this goes through 5 columns it will exit, start a new line, and increment row by 1
cout << endl;
}
cout << "Please enter a integer to locate its position in the array.\n";
cin >> num;
r = -1; c = -1;
for( int row = 0; row < size; row++ ){
for( int column = 0; column < size; column++ ){
if( num == multiA[row][column] ){
int r, c;
r = row;
c = column;
cout << "The position of " << num << " is: (" << r << "," << c << ")\n";
break;
}
}
if( r != -1 ){ // if a row was found
break;
}
}
if ( r == -1){ //added this so if the number is not in the array
cout << num << " is not in the array.\n";
}
}
Thanks. It worked perfectly. I added the if statement if the number is not in the array. I tested it and it worked. does it look good to you?
Can I also use bool instead and of -1?
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
cout << "Please enter a integer to locate its position in the array.\n";
cin >> num;
bool r = false;
for( int row = 0; row < size; row++ ){
for( int column = 0; column < size; column++ ){
if( num == multiA[row][column] ){
r = true;
cout << "The position of " << num << " is: (" << row << "," << column << ")\n";
break;
}
}
if( true ){ // if a row was found
break;
}
}
if ( false){
cout << num << " is not in the array.\n";
}
}

note:
Once again, being explicit about exceptions frees us
to describe functions that can't fail.
Cheating a bit here due to panic!(), .unwrap(), etc.
But in general panics are considered bugs to be fixed.

Announcer During Bills-Dolphins Says He Could “Squeeze Out A Dirty Sanchez” Mustache (VIDEO)
by Darrelle LincolnThis announcer likely had no clue what ‘dirty sanchez’ actually meant when he said it.
During the final seconds of the Bills-Dolphins game — CBS play-by-play announcer Spero Dedes and color commentator Adam Archuleta got into a discussion about grooming.
Archuleta: “One has to ask themselves, a $30 tie or a $30 mustache.”
Dedes: “Can we get you to grow the stache by next week?”
That’s when Archuleta said he “could probably squeeze out maybe a Dirty Sanchez, not really a full stache.”
The Dirty Sanchez is not a reference to an actual mustache made out of facial hair.
Just read here if you’re unfamiliar.
I’m sure he regrets this now.
