Title: Do you also find answers this way?

Now it seems that if I have a question about C++ and I click on New topic to ask it here and finished typing it out I know the answer (before I post it) :blink: .
Does this also happen to you?
If I remember well it was the same when I was learning GM/GML.

not real often with c++ but i remember it happening TONS of times with gm. i think its the process of typing the problem that gets your mind working. i think the reason i havent done it much with c++ is because im only still in the 3rd chapter of my c++ book and dont know a whole lot.

Sometimes... When I'm just typing code, I might see whats wrong with it... It is weird...

It already happend twice today.
  • This morning I didn't know what was wrong with:
CODE
#include Menu_ID     100

and I realized that that should be
CODE
#define Menu_ID     100
  • The second time I wanted to wanted to use the command-lines in the windows CALLBACK function and I realized that I only needed a global LPSTR and assine it in the main windows function.

    With code, the retyping is what does it. I'm always missing syntax errors because my mind sees it as what I think I put there instead of what I nessecerily did put there.

    Try reading your code backwards, it helps sometimes :)

    But the good thing about it is that you (at least I) don't make the same error twice :)

    well if you made the same error twice you would know where to look for your error and it would debug faster.... i think.. course i have been wrong... mainly most of my bugs are caused by my horrible spelkling.

    I sometimes make silly mistakes, like leaving off a parenthesis somewhere. Then I rewrite it and I leave it off again. :blink:

    Finally I would catch the mistake and realize that all that re-writing was not necessary! :o
