Dear Professor Duffy,


I'm a beginner student of programming and also now of financial modelling.
I bought your book Introduction to C++ for Financial Engineers-2006.
Congratulations it a very special.
But i found an difficulty in page 18, line 38, the VC++ not compiled.


where is ..."if (c == "a")... I changed to : if (c == 'a')


Best regards,

Thanks, you are correct, but the copy editor at the publisher changed 'c' to "c".


BTW have you run the code? There it is correct.

Ah! add Datasim.cpp in project!!! and rebuild


See this Example

Did you do a full search of the CD?

BTW the .cpp files should be added to the project.

Hello, when implementing the codes in VC 2012, I encoutered the following error:

There is no Utilities folder in my CD, so I have downloaded your DatasimDate.hpp and TemporalType.hpp from Google search. Other codes I used were all from CD chapter 2 folder.

Thanks.

Hello, a code (datasimdate.hpp ) in 2.4 and 9.8.1 is missing from CD-ROM. Could you tell us where we could find it?

It's on the CD, directory Utilities.

This is a screen shot video (no audio in this case) CLICK in URL below

This SCV (screen capture video) is to define and run a project in Visual Studio based on the theory of Chapter 2 and exercise 1.

Directories:

C:\daniel\DistanceLearning\Code (where I defined the project)
C:\CPP2006\Chapter2 (necessary source code)

Things to note:

1. Defining additional include directories
2. Placing source code files in the project
3. Compiler and linker errors and how we resolved them

The example code is fairly trivial but the point is getting a project up and running.

Build a project 101

You have not answered my question to help you ! Here again

// can you help me concerning my current problem of
Which testprogram on chapter 15 are you trying to run And i need the __precise__ error messages in your project (e.g file not found, Unresolved etc. etc.)


Anyway, do EXACTLY the following:

1. make c:\cpp2006
2. xcopy the CD files to the dir in 1.
3. Now there are ready-to-run projects on C:\cpp2006\VSProjects

and

4. Do you understand chapter 2 (what do the compiler and linker do)

regards
