Curtis, Thank You for graciously explaining all that, very much appreciated. Your example code has been a good starting point for me to study and learn from, thx for posting it. I've got a lot to learn, and will need a lot of perserverance to get it done on my own, but everyone on this thread...

I think the original programmer who wrote the code was mixing in C concepts with C++ concepts, but I'm not sure. (char*) for ex, is casting the &linebuffer as a pointer to character, but it seems that the use of () around the char* is distinctively C, and not C++ My textbook on C++ does not...

Hi, This thread is mostly addressed to programmers in C++ who started from scratch with no/little prior programming experience. You may have learned C++ in college or through self tutorial books. I was wondering if there were any C++ programmers out there who could share their story of...

YSPW Thx much for your explanations. Here's another question: // Get a line from the input file. sampleFile.getline( (char *) &lineBuffer, 4096 ); In the above, we are using the getline function (which is a cin object) to reach into the input file. Then the & operator assigns that...

Nitro, I understand 80% of the program. Since my understanding of pointers is still basic and I haven't found a reference to LineBuffer in my text, I am not sure about the code fragment I highlighted above. You are an experienced programmer, could you maybe take 1 or 2 lines to explain...

The program below was written by Curtis Faith over at his TradingBlox forum. He was responding to a beginner C++ programmer who did not know how to read from a comma delineated data file and input the data into a multidimensional array for further processing. I've been trying to teach myself...

Nitro, very interesting post! how does the complex plane relate to the market. I mean one deals with imaginary numbers and the other with real numbers. Phi is derived from the square root function you mentioned, but it's existence is confined to real numbers isn't it?

What's the matter? Running out of lines to come up with? LOL Obviously your mama didn't teach you any self respect, or you would truly be ashamed of swearing at people in other treads and then sanctimoniously judging others as potty mouths etc. Pretentious. Arrogant. Hypocrite. Potty Mouth...

Hey Potty Mouth, Your little snippets are old and boring. Nononsense did it a lot better than you, and he had the smarts to stop posting on ET. Follow your master and you just might preserve whatever little sanity you have left, if any. Hypocrite.

Yes, I have Mandelbrot's book. Very interesting and insightful. I think he hasn't received the acclaim he deserves because the whole industry of finance was built on the nonsense promulgated by his doctoral student, Eugene Fama (the academic bully who started the whole scam called passive...

Reminds me of Mandelbrot. Have you looked into his findings? He says that the power law distribution is the one that most closely fits the price data. Taleb is also big on this. The Levy distribution is part of this family of distributions?

This dude is unbelievable, wish he could be banned.
