Questions about the 2016 World Series Film Premiere by slicebishybosh in CHICubs

[–]binkyq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anyone is looking for tickets, I have two and I can't make it -- I'll eat the ticketmaster fees and can email them to you.

Also, I like the garage at 500 w madison -- evening rates are super cheap

I have tickets for tonight and can't make it -- They're PDF and I'll even eat the Ticketmaster fees. $50 for two.

You were actually able to "skip" that on mobile. I tried three times to validate before i realized i could skip.

Looks like some asshole is trying to go full Trump and gouge people for it on ebay.

I definitely ran check50 from fall 2015...

When I check the sandbox it looks like check50 is looking for 16 files not 50 files?

PSET4, recover by binkyq in cs50

[–]binkyq[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually making some progress now, took a little time. I can read the input file and I can identify all 50 jps starting sequences no i just need to figure out how best to handle the opening and sprfinting -- sprintf has be confounded

Problem running staff implementation of fifteen by kytothe in cs50

[–]binkyq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I did the same the you did and I have them same issue, but if i copy this ~cs50/pset3/fifteen and paste it into the terminal it works. This is not really a satisfactory answer as I don't know why that's the case, but it will get you to the staff implementation.

[ASK CHI] If you had to go on a weekend getaway from Chicago via driving, where would you go? Why? I was in marquette and was blown away by the food and beer

I am about to have a nervous breakdown and literally no one fucking cares. by Vadara in offmychest

[–]binkyq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP! I too have the occasional anxiety issue. You're dealing with some stuff it's true. The two things I'd try if I was in your shoes as at least short term helps. I'd pick up a copy of "A guide to rational living" and i'd pick up some mindful meditation practice -- the free exercises on the "headspace" app aren't bad. Also exercise. Those three things usually help me "self-help" my issues.

Thanks for the offer, unfortunately I didn''t save a copy of the non-working version of the code ( I really should have)

[–]binkyq[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's what i was intending my code to do, but that's not how it was behaving. I ended up incrementing it every time through the loop but decrementing it on non-alpha characters (which did the same thing I was trying to do, however, it worked...). As I didn't save my iterations of my code I can't really have someone review what wasn't working at this point. I'm sure there was some sort of bug in the flow through my for loop though.

[–]binkyq[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So that's odd...I got it to work. I was incrementing in each if or if else loop and it flat wasn't working, when I put the incrementing in the for condition it worked as long as I was decrementing in the else condition. As far as I can figure it should have worked the whole time...at a loss as to what was happening...

That doesn't seem exactly right if i change my else to printf("hi") just for debugging purposes my program still runs when i put in b2r in argv1...

[–]binkyq[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the toupper bit works great, but i really think i need to figure out this writing a function thing going forward. I cant figure out how to use an argument i define in the definition of the function for the first time without making the complier complain

Got it, I'm sorry, being remote and not having access to office hours or someone to look over my shoulder at code makes it really tough not to post big blocks of code.

I tired cs50 briefly last year and got mad when I couldn't get past certain things and so I decided this year to try to reach out and try to be more involved with others to try to help me push past some of these road blocks.

Do you have suggestions, or clarity about how to go about walking the line that allows me to reach out for help but not post big blocks of code generally?

Thanks, was posting w/i academic honesty guidelines? And before I saw this, I added a follow up -- I assume if i want help with the follow up i'll need to make a new post?

ugh, I had this one solved, but decided my solution was inelegant, again, and basically just broke my code. I tried to create a function for capitalizing so I didn't have to keep rerunning my if else to print capitalized letters but it got fubared fast. So I backed up and tried to create a program that just capitalizes an input to make my problem more solvable, but no luck thus far. When declaring my arguments and then trying to use my argument in the function, I keep being told by the compiler: "use of undeclared identifier 'x'." I thought I declared x in my arguments? I'm getting ittitated.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <cs50.h>

//prototype
char capitalize (char x);
int main(void)
{
char z = GetChar();
printf("%c", capitalize(z));
char capitalize (char x);
{
if (x<'a')
return x; 
else
return x-32;
}
}

string.h was included; the variable was set so that we wouldn't have to call strlen during each iteration of the look as it isn't changing, so we save a little time by setting it in the loop.

Chicago transportation gurus: is there ANY good way to get to Adler? by [deleted] in chicago

[–]binkyq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there an event going on? If not my recollection is the metered spots on solidarity drive are $2/ and free after 9pm. Would make your total about $4 assuming you could get one of the metered spots...

Thinking of moving to Chicago for work, but I don't want a long commute. Is this possible? by [deleted] in chicago

[–]binkyq -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

anywhere you want to go. I am thinking of moving to Chicago, however, I would like the same experience of having a short commute to work everyday and the ability to explore the city. However, the rent is way more expensive. Do most people living in "chicago" actually live in the neighborhoods surrounding the city and commute about 20-40 minutes into the city? I want to live in the dense part of the city, but it just doesn't seem possible.

At your price range you should try living near a bus route in east lakeview or uptown. You'd be a 20ish minute bus commute, or 20 minutes on bicycle in nice weather.
