Oh, I'm sure you'll be getting a lot of help here in the future. 
Really, don't get pissed off if we don't do your homework for you. I only posted my link because it was already there (you could try doing a search you know) and took me like two seconds. I wouldn't have gone out of my way for your homework either.
And here's something funny, try COMMUNICATING with your professor about it. Maybe he'll give you pointers. I know it's crazy, but sometimes using your mouth for good works too.

Dude - this site has been around for a long time. Coming here in the hope that we'll help you when you can't make sense of your course materials ( which will be enough for you to do this, by definition ), and hoping simultaneously to start insulting the people who try to help you, is not very smart.
I recommend that you read your homework, and think the problem through. It's kind of trivial. The relevant code has already been posted on this thread. You need to break your date into parts, and then check those parts to convert them to words. No direct conversion exists, you need to find, for example, 31, and replace it with 'thirty-one'.

If you look at my above post, I'm actually thanking the people that helped me. I've posted two threads here today, each has a post by toxcct and they were rude comments.
But thanks any ways.

But he has done a lot of good works to help the beginners come up here. Even I'm one of them. So if you don't know someone completely, just don't comment seeing a few strong messages from them. Yeah he needs to be tough! expects so much of disciplines in the forum. Without him, I'm sure the forum would look a little degraded. He has certainly helped to filter out a lot of stupid questions. Getting his strong comment, one would be afraid to post a similar one next time. He wants the problem to be explained properly,but that doesn't mean that he is required to answer every question that he had asked to be proper. That would atleast help someone to understand the problem better and give a definite answer to it. So either ways he's helping the forum to keep a neat line. It's very unfortunate that you've just joined the forum and talking so rude against a senior member of the same. Anyway I wish you'd get the point and have a nice stay.
Just f*ck off.

There's a 99% guarantee that you will not find a chapter titled How to Convert Numbers to Words in said textbook. The only reason I did not use 100% is that there's a chance that some author might use that as an example, but it will never be the focal point of any chapter.

And what have you tried thus far, even if it failed? Remember, Thomas Edison did not improve the light bulb on his first try. He first had to find 1,000 ways that did not work.

Easily, Tox can do your homework in all of five minutes, but he's smart enough to know that that won't help you one bit.
All that aside, what was wrong with the suggestion from NS17?

MoboTech wrote: What do you think tutors are for? Helping with their homework, not doing it for them. And I need a tutor!
I'm not asking people to do my homework. If you can't help, don't say nothing.
I guess the difference is how you ask the question. First such answers are easily googleable. Second if you need a tutor rather than the answer, admit it up front. You'll get far less guff about it than if you admit later it is a homework assignment after someone has done the work for you. And you will get a better answer from one of the regulars demonstrating the methods without giving you the answer. You'll learn more and be more capable of a programmer.
Half of programming is learning where to find the answers. It doesn't matter if you have been programming 1 month or 10 years, you will find something beyond your skill on occasion. What you do and how you do it shows your character and skill both. Thus the trouble you are getting from a few members (and you are actually lucky you got the answers). Some people are interested in getting the vote and giving you the answers because they want to get enough votes to be MVP. They are hurting you for their own benefit. Eventually you will not have them to give you an answer, so how do you find the answer?
A tutor teaches you how to fish so that you can catch your own meal, not hands you a fish. So far I have seen no one showing you how to fish. I am sure you are overjoyed at that now, but eventually you will not have that person to turn to, and you will be lost. No guff from me, only a word of caution: you are only hurting yourself. Next time ask for some one to give you the technique without the answer. One of the regulars, or even one of the MVP wannabes will help you in a way that benefits you, not them.

No it's not.
And that's not an insult - it really isn't. You have a classic assignment - it shows up in the first couple of weeks in hundreds of textbooks and courses based on them. And you've been assigned it to teach you something. Of course you can just pull the answers off of a web site, but then what have you learned?
And so i repeat, it's not hard. But if you don't spend the time learning from your course work, you'll find the hard tasks impossible when eventually you do encounter them.
Just a fair warning...

Except the solutions that show up in beginner texts usually suck and don't scale well. *cough* *cough* (plugging my poor, lonely article  ).

dear all
1.how to understand the code below: thanks a lot.
const int arraySize = 7;
int frequency[arraySize] = {0};
Note: how to understand {0} above?
2. srand(time(0))
how to understand time(0) above?
thanks a lot.

Initialize all the elements of the array with zero.
li zhiyuan wrote: srand(time(0))
Initialize the random number seed. Initializing with current time provides the random numbers always different. If the seed it not set with time, random numbers will always be same. For example, suppose first number you got is 1562 and the second is 7645, you will get same values in the the same order for each statting of the program. If we initialize the seed with time, first number depends on this seed and so on, since the time is incrementing...

Hi, after programming in c++ for some time, I've decided to start to code in windows environment.
The question is, should I read code until I fully understand windows internals or should I start to make
my own programs and learn on the fly?
I've read Petzold's book but it seems to me that it its not enough to make my own app.

Do you mean "Programming Windows 5th Edition"? If so...
If you have read and understand everything in that book then you should
have the fundamentals every Windows programmer should know.
It's also the core fundamentals of MFC (and any other framework which wraps the Win32 APIs).
If you intend to write GUI applications and you haven't programmed for an
event/message-driven OS like Windows, then that's probably the most important
concept to understand from the book.
I would recommend starting with a Visual Studio generated Win32 application.
Look at the code produced by the wizard and make sure you understand everything
that's there.
From there you have a basic shell of an application that you can modify and extend
as you learn new APIs.
Just my 2 cents.
Have fun!

His Windows books are more than enough. I started with his Windows v3.1 book.

Are you planning on using MFC or not? If not, I can recommend this one (although I hear Petzold's is pretty good too)... Clickety[^]

I am creating a thread in OnInitDialog() of dialog based application as:
hThread = CreateThread(NULL,0,&ThreadAudioProcess,this,CREATE_SUSPENDED,0); and starting it in "Start" button click by ResumeThread(hThread);. The function ThreadAudioProcess() is called this time.
But after I stop it when user click "Stop" by: SuspendThread(hThread); and start it again by ResumeThread(hThread); it is not calling the function. How to start the thread again and call the function?
Thanks & Regards,
Suman

SuspendThread() will stop the thread at an arbitrary location in the thread's code.
When you call ResumeThread(), execution will resume at the location the thread was
suspended. The thread procedure is NOT a function that gets re-called.
Because of this, SuspendThread() shouldn't be used like this - unless you can figure
out a way to completely control the execution location in the thread.
You really should be doing this another way - communicating with the thread in some
fashion to ensure it's in the state you expect when you pause and restart it.
Also, if you're using any MFC stuff in your thread, you should be using AfxBeginThread()
instead of the CreateThread() API.
If you are not using MFC but you're using any CRT functions in your thread you should be
using _beginthread[ex]() instead of CreateThread().
