C++ Help

[Ihealyou]

One night I was out drinking. Being a model student, I decided to work on a c++ project when I got home. That night, I went to bed proud of all the work I accomplished. The next morning, I spent about 2 hours fixing all the typos and dumb code that I wrote the night before. That's when I decided that any language which doesn't allow you to code drunk is a piece of shit that overcomplicates simple tasks.

Step 1: Buy beer.
Step 2: Get drunk.
Step 3: Write everything in Pseudocode.
Step 4: Translate to regular code while sober.
Step 5: .....
Step 6: Profit

Or... experiment more with Ballmer's Peak

here's a simple way to do part 1 without the need for an array

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	int count, min, max, total;
	count=0;
	total=0;

	cout << "Please enter 5 numbers seperated by a space\n";
	while ( count < 5 )
	{
		int number;
		cin >> number;
		count++;
		if ( 1 == count )
		{
			min=number;
			max=number;
		}
		else
		{
			if ( number < min )
				min = number;
			if ( number > max )
				max = number;
		}
		total += number;
	}

	cout << " Lowest: " << min << endl 
		 << "Highest: " << max << endl
		 << "Average: " << total/5 << endl;
	
	system("pause");

	return 0;
}

So I have never used smart/auto pointers or seen them used in any production code. One of the big woops about them is that when you copy addresses it nulls the first pointer so you can't dangle it. So I was like man let's see if its a big woop after all.

PHP Code:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    int *p1 = new int(5);
    int *p2 = p1;
    delete p1;  // recycle heap cell... p2 is now a dangling pointer

    *p2 = 420; // segmentation fault imqo
    printf("%p = %d\n", p2, *p2);  // but wait... 0x14dc010 = 420?????

    p1 = 0x0; // set address of p1 to null
    printf("%p = %d", p1, *p1); // good. generates segmentation fault error...

    return 0;
} 


maybe more complex example is needed to throw off the compiler?? I even compiled with optimization off cuz i thought it would be just removing the delete line since we use it right after

r00t@wutdo:~/dangling$ g++ -g -O0 -fno-inline main.cpp
r00t@wutdo:~/dangling$ ./a.out
0x24d5010 = 420
Segmentation fault
