I am learning C++, and I desided to take a crack at writing my own program (so far I have just be modifying programs out of a book). Attached is a .zip file contaning the .exe for my program, as well as the source code as a .txt, if you care to make changes

I swear this is not a virurs or anything that will screw up your computer in any way. Just a little program I wrote to show off what I have learned so far

Spelled comparable wrong . Other than that, I like it.

Keep working at it.

thats pretty cool..that can be quite useful

It says an amd of 1.33 is comparable to my 2.6. I thought the ratio was 6:9 not 6:12.
Oh yeah, its clean.

Umm, sorry. I don't understand what it does...

What do you mean comparable?

Retrospekt

It means that #.##ghz of an intel processor = #.##ghz of an amd processor.
The ghz differ because amd's do 9 ops per cycle and intels do 6 ops percycle. Conroes do 12.

I understand that AMD normally does 9 and intel 6 up until conroe.

I just thought my answer was weird. So, an AMD 2.2 would be equal to a P4 3.0?

SoaDMTGguy

Ok, I have updated the first post with the spell-checked version of the program

Also, Retrospekt, the reason it said 2.6 was equil to 1.3 is because I wrote it to expect an integer value, not a floating point (x.x) value, so when you typed "2.6" it got confused. That is why it says "enter the CPU speed in MHz"

SoaDMTGguy,

You really need to get into the habit of intializing your varibles. Trust me on this. While some languages/compilers will do it for you automatically, Visual Studio C++ does not.

When you assign a variable in C++, its value becomes whatever is currently in the memory where it is located.

So where you have:

int athlon;
int pentium;
int c2d;

They are not set to 0 (as in Zero) as in some languages.

Just a little knowledge for ya on your road to programming goodness
