I haven't played with IUP. Should I?

@@JacobSorber Thanks @Tarun I found IUP. I never knew there exist a library like this. Would love to learn it.

Thanks!

Checkout the video by CodeVault called "Compile and run C code using Visual Studio Code". He has another video for Linux as well.

Thanks. I'll see what I can do.

Thanks. I already have some on sockets. Let me know what specifically you think I'm missing. And, I'll add ZeroMQ to the topic list and see what I can do.

@@JacobSorber Thank you, I went and watched the websocket client that does a simple get http. I was looking for tutorials of clients that can get streaming market data from some web server. How to change your example so that whenever the server pushes new data, the client automatically updates itself?

Thanks.

Thanks and welcome, Philippe.

True. My wording was not very precise. I wanted it to execute the loop body for 1== 100, not just count to 100.

@@JacobSorber Thank you Jacob. I program Pic Microcontrollers and only now moving to visual studio to learn more... Great video.

Thanks. Yeah, we could probably do that. Were you working in the terminal, or using some sort of graphics framework?

@@JacobSorber was working in the terminal. A good example for this kind of progress bar is perhaps docker cli when downloading a container image you would see multiple digest layers being downloaded in multiple progress bars and I wonder how did they implement it, I couldn't figure it out. I would assume they're opening channels between the main thread and that thread which currently running the download and transmiting the progress to the main thread to draw it.

@%9F%98%80nel/UCvQtSHqKNUKpVbWkfhesmKA They were probably using control sequences. Sounds like we'll need a future video on that. Thanks for the idea.

@@JacobSorber I've also seen similar behavior by pacman (Arch Linux package manager). It would be interesting to get an explanation of how the parallel download progress bars are implemented

In competitive programming speed is everything once you understand how to solve the problem, so STL algorithms and data structures in C++ (like sort, vector, set and map) are just too good to throw away. If you want to practice and get a better understanding of their internals then consider implementing some of them yourself with C++ templates (maybe even in C-style to some extent) but still go with the standard library implementations for actual contests. They are robust, very fast, versatile and can be customized on the fly for any kind of input data

Glad you liked it!

Very true. Thanks.

I suppose it is a fance symbol replacing the -> (arrow). He also uses the ≥ which replaces the >= . I tried it in my code but it isn't recognized. Probably something in the settings, but I wouldn't mind it

Thanks. I know where you can get one of your own. 😀

Thanks!

There are lots of ways to do graphics. I've touched on a few in the past (the curses videos and the pandemic simulator video). Do you have something specific in mind?

@@JacobSorber you could do something about basic drawing objects to the screen and opening windows and what not ? Do you have any plans for those kinds of videos ?

@@sababugs1125 That’s gonna vary from platform to platform and based on what you mean by graphics. If you just want to open a basic window or OpenGL context, draw simple sprites to the screen, etc, on any platform you’d probably be best off using SDL2. But if you mean more typical desktop GUIs that are well-integrated with your OSs windowing features, menu options, etc. then you’ll have to work with the tools your OS (and windowing system) gives you. That will vary a lot, but some examples include the Win32 API, Xcode’s Interface Builder, or GTK. In some places with these, you may have to move away from pure C.

@Sababugs112 You might check out the One Lone Coder channel for playing around with graphics. It’s in C++ but if you’re asking about graphics you’re ready for advanced topics. ;^}

@@sababugs1125 Look up Ryan Ries (Building a game from scratch in c) or Samuli for Win32 graphics. However, just using Win32 requires you to make your own backbuffer and manage that buffer's memory to prevent [Access violation error writing location]. SFML (or the c version, CSFML) is a useful library to automate that stuff, so all you have to do use the functions provided to draw simple shapes or textures. Also, GLFW. But my point is that knowledge on graphics in standard c is mainly useless and headache-inducing. If you're programming in c, it's my opinion that you just make a program or library to do graphics for you, or download one from somewhere else. As an example drawing a simple rectangle with Win32: #include int width, height; // Window Procedure, or message handler thing LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wparam, LPARAM lparam) { switch (msg) { case WM_CLOSE: DestroyWindow(hwnd); break; case WM_QUIT: PostQuitMessage(0); break; default: return DefWindowProc(hwnd, msg, wparam, lparam); break; } } // The rectangle making function void DrawRectangle(int rx, int ry, int rectwidth, int rectheight, short color, void* buffer) { int* pixel = (int*)buffer; // each pixel has sizeof(int) amount of color data with 32bpp pixel += (y * width) + height; // pointer starts at 0 (bottom left corner) and increments to the right, moving up as it hits the right edge for (int y = 0; y < rectheight; y++) { for (int x = 0; x < rectwidth; x++) { *pixel++ = color; // The pixel gets a color and the pointer increments } } } int __stdcall WinMain(_In_ HINSTANCE hinstance, _In_opt_ HINSTANCE hprevinstance, _In_ LPSTR lpcmdline, _In_ ncmdshow) { width = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN); height = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN) // Basically, formatting the image to be drawn BITMAPINFO bitmapinfo; bitmapinfo.bmiHeader.biSize = sizeof(bitmapinfo.bmiHeader); bitmapinfo.bmiHeader.biWidth = width; bitmapinfo.bmiHeader.biHeight = height; bitmapinfo.bmiHeader.biBitCount = 32; bitmapinfo.bmiHeader.biCompression = BI_RGB; bitmapinfo.bmiHeader.biPlanes = 1; // To hold image data (will be used in the drawing function, StretchDIBits) void* buffer = VirtualAlloc(NULL, width * height * 32, MEM_COMMIT | MEM_RESERVE, PAGE_READWRITE); // Window creation WNDCLASSEX wc; MSG message; HWND hwnd; wc.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX); wc.style = 0; wc.lpfnWndProc = WndProc; wc.cbClsExtra = 0; wc.cbWndExtra = 0; wc.hInstance = hinstance; wc.hIcon = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION); wc.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW); wc.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)(COLOR_WINDOW+1); wc.lpszMenuName = NULL; wc.lpszClassName = L"class"; wc.hIconSm = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION); // Error check window class because it literally always fails if(!RegisterClassEx(&wc)) { MessageBox(NULL, "Window Registration Failed!", "Error!", MB_ICONEXCLAMATION | MB_OK); return 0; } // Creating the window hwnd = CreateWindowEx( WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, L"class", "The title of my window", WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, 240, 120, NULL, NULL, hInstance, NULL); // Error check window then cry because you can never find out why it fails if(hwnd == NULL) { MessageBox(NULL, "Window Creation Failed!", "Error!", MB_ICONEXCLAMATION | MB_OK); return 0; } ShowWindow(hwnd, nCmdShow); UpdateWindow(hwnd); // The programming portion of a project that uses a graphics library // Draws a green 100x100 rectangle at (500, 500) into buffer DrawRectangle(500, 500, 100, 100, 0x00ff00, buffer) while(running) { PeekMessage(&message, hwnd, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE); TranslateMessage(&message); DispatchMessage(&message); StretchDIBits(dc, 0, 0, width, height, 0, 0, width, height, buffer, &bitmapinfo, DIB_RGB_COLORS, SRCCOPY); } return message.wParam; } I just realized you might not have been talking about standard c. I'm gonna go stress eat pizza, quit my job, get a loan and take a vacation to Mexico.

thanks.

Thanks! Yeah, graphs are on the topic list. I'm sure I'll get to them at some point. Do you have anything specific about graphs that you're looking for?

Maybe the topological order doesn’t allow that?

😂 You're welcome.

So many philosophical retorts to this...🤔 Aren't they both just visual representations of an abstract quantity? 😀

@@JacobSorber Seems like an abstract representation of a visual quantity, the visual quantity being only how much the program has seen.
