was looking at the list, very intrested in 08, currency converter.
sounds easy except that i dont know how to make a program fetch data from the internet and asign it to a variable.
can someone help?
in c++ please

Lol, I'm having the exact same problem (in C++, no less!)

I've tried researching a bit, but the most I've found is that you need to use something called "Sockets" to retrieve data from the internet

cool, im starting my second semester of information systems engineering today, might ask a programming professor for some help

Awesome! I'll ask around in the dpt and sqt, and see how to do it... Good luck!

What is 06: tornado text/image?

Absolutely no idea... If I had to guess, it'd be placing text in a tornado shape

sort of
like
thi
s?

Or maybe it's derivative of VerticalPosting

Rollin'

It says g's speciality, but I have been asking for weeks, if not months, and it seems no body knows...

Alright... I can just remove that and replace it with something else...

It's weird nobody knows what it is yet it's been on several "Pro/g/ramming Challenge" images, though

Trust Sup Forums to push smallness and speed over maintainability and readability. Typical.

It's silly to do something like that in a language like C++. That's what your more feature rich, larger languages are for, since efficiency is redundant here anyway.

What language would you recommend? Javascript, perhaps? (I have like zero experience with scripting languages)

Probably a more conventional high level one like Java or Python. Python has a really nice HTTP library that keeps things really simple, so I'd potentially go with that.

I honestly prefer C-like languages, but working at a high level performing complex interactions like that, you're better going for something high level. There is basically no advantage to using an efficient language like C or C++ when you're moving medium-large amounts of data over a likely non-industrial grade network connection.

If you can write decent C++, you can write passable Python in a matter of hours.

Thanks! Funnily enough, I was thinking of picking up "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" this summer! Good to know it has a lot of uses!

It's quite good. That's what I find it best for - automation. And always happy to help a nigga out. You'll come to absolutely love the little things like a standard library that actually has things in it.

And on 2.0 it says text/image and 3.0 in pretty sure it says test/image... I don't have it in front of me to confirm, but I remember noticing it. Maybe it's time for a 4.0

Here's 3.0 (I've been adding difficulty colors to it)

29 tornado TEST/image... Looks good though, I dig the colours

Thanks! I've been thinking of starting some threads for version 3.0's difficulty

I'm still a bit confused... What's a tornado test?

Literally no idea, we have now gone full circle

Rolling with pic unrelated.

let's give it a try
