It seems you are over-using inheritance. In the real world, we're all just a bag of water and other chemicals, but we don't classify ourselves as substances , we're collections of substances known as animals and we tend to classify ourselves as Human, a kind of primate with a large brain and also a member of the vertebrates. But we are also members of the class carbon based biped if you check the Hitchhiker's Guide To The...

Not exactly sure where you are going. An array (s[]) is basically a const pointer that (supposed to be and enforced by the compiler) cannot be 'pointed' to any other memory location. Creating a variable like this: char s[] = "abc"; creates a 4 character array (one for the NULL) by the compiler (possibly on the stack, possibly in the data section). This: char *s; However, just creates a plain pointer which happens...

Shows you the value of a debugger. I found your bug within 5-10 minutes without knowing any Italian .

Oh and btw it's not that difficult, new problem, new THREAD. To effectively not waste time of other members who take time out to solve/help you out, you would do good, to mention a little about the background of the problem, like mentioning this is the erastoheneseses sieve??? Instead of just shoving code ... Regards proxy < all of us...

You should have use two separate threads, all the talk is about the second example, and seems to be ignoring the fact that you first example is nonsense. The variable hex is already an integer - no conversion is necessary. The internal representation of an integer is binary, all %x and %d do is translate that to or from various human readable forms. I suggest also that you loose teh hard-tabs and the excessive vertical space for teh sake of...

Think about your car. It is made of objects. They are grouped (mostly) functionally. Your butterfly valve is not on your hood ornament and your crankshaft is not in the trunk. The mechanical advantage of your jack is not responsible for the ratio of engine revs to wheel revs. At least, I hope not.

thanx very much for the help The segmentation fault was due to error in my logic. now its been rectified .

Sprite USES the Screen. The Screen is its own entity, with its own characteristics. Place those members in another class that represents that entity, and use delegation from the Sprite class to interact with it....
