I've got no trouble paying for a mod, but 53 on metacritic? Damn.

Now now, scores must be taken with a grain of salt. Star Trek Online has a pretty low rating (mostly from it's release, from what I heard), but has since cleaned up and I'm really enjoying the free-to-play offerings.

I'd like to think that California would get off somewhat well if the nation split up. Prop 8 shenanigans aside, we don't have that many conservative crazies, and we've got two strong liberal influences in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Not to mention the vast amounts of farmland we've got.

Actually, I'm free most of Friday, getting home from school around 5:30pm GMT. The crowning irony is that I have a RL game club going on around 11pm GMT, on that day. I haven't been there the past couple of weeks though, and we were playing random card games instead of D&D for some reason, so perhaps it's better to switch to this group.

Games tend to be played in game clubs.

It used to be a purely D&D club. Now I can't remember the last time we ran a decent campaign, or even got out our character sheets.

Wait a second...why would the far right fringe vote for Santorum? According to a number of ultra-fundamentalist Baptists and Protestants, Catholics are not Christians.

There is a lot of historical anti-Catholic sentiment from fundamentalist Christians in the US, and the Church doesn't look kindly upon protestantism either. However, Santorum is still Christian, and still has very similar policies that they would have, so in this case, they get along just fine.

In other words, Catholics are only Christians when it comes to the polls

(and right there, I managed to turn a potential derail right back towards election discussion!)

Looks like they might just be compiler warnings, actually. I got rid of one of the floats in the declaration, and it built this time (got some warnings though). It also looks like it ran, but I need to do the math on something else to make sure it's working right.

Code: [Select]

void printOutput(float);

I was about to ask "what kind?", but then I realised that pretty much anything other than straight White Protestant could fall under "kind".

return (((2 * 3.14) * (x * x)) + ((2 * 3.14) * (x * y)));

return (3.14 * (x * x) * y);

These two.

For the other thing, should I change it to this?

Code: [Select]

void printOutput(float x, float y)

Can I impose on this thread to once again provide some help? I am attempting to write a program that will calculate the surface area and volume of a cylinder, based on input values for the radius and height. It wouldn't be so difficult if we weren't also required to create user-defined functions to do pretty much everything. Thus it is roughly twice as long as it needs to be.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

/* A program for measuring a cylinder
   Created by: Sirus
   Purpose: To test user-defined functions
*/

#include <stdio.h>

//Function Declarations
float getRadius();
float getHeight();
float calcArea(float, float);
float calcVolume(float, float);
void printOutput(float, float);
int main (void)
{
	//Local declarations
	float a;
	float b;
	float c;
	float d;

	//Statements
	a = getRadius();
	b = getHeight();
	c = calcArea(a, b);
	d = calcVolume(a, b);
	
	//Print the results
	printf("\n The cylinder's surface area is: ");
	printOutput(c);
	printf("\n The cylinder's volume is: ");
	printOutput(d);

	return 0;
}

float getRadius (void)
{
	//Declarations
	float numIn;

	//Statement
	printf("Enter the radius: ");
	scanf("%f", &numIn);
	return numIn;
}

float getHeight (void)
{
	//Declarations
	float numIn;

	//Statement
	printf("\nEnter the height: ");
	scanf("%f", &numIn);
	return numIn;
}

float calcArea (float x, float y)
{
	//Statement
	return (((2 * 3.14) * (x * x)) + ((2 * 3.14) * (x * y)));
}

float calcVolume (float x, float y)
{
	//Statement
	return (3.14 * (x * x) * y);
}

void printOutput(float x)
{
	//Statement
	printf("%f", x);
	return;
}

Anyway, I thought I had everything set up right, but building returned a few errors and it refuses to run. Mostly involving conversions from double to float (wtf? I defined no doubles) and not having enough arguments to call printOutput back in the main function.

Severing stairs wouldn't allow some dwarves to access the surface while preventing others from doing so. Pretty much every dwarf in question was in the dining room anyway, which was nearly 30 z-levels above the broken designations.

I seem to have two kinds of days. Those that start out bad and get good by the end. And those that start out good and get bad by the end.

Someone remind me why I get out of bed in the morning.

Simple. If the day starts bad, by your own logic it will get better. I find it better to end a day on a high note, rather than begin one.

Is it just me, or does C# look a lot like Java?
