Where do you expect the contents of the input to be stored if you don't allocate space in which to store it? C doesn't have bells and whistles - it's a pretty bare-bones language where programmers actually have to know what they're doing. — Ken White 1 min ago

The existence of previous questions (especially from a decade earlier) are not an indication that a question is on-topic here. What is relevant are the guidelines that are in place when your question is asked, and those guidelines say that questions here must be related to programming (code) or the use of a programmers tool (IDE, compiler, etc.). I've voted to close as general computing. If that doesn't work for you, we can use a custom reason of not programming related, but in either case the question isn't appropriate for SO. — Ken White 22 secs ago

@BoPersson agreed. But it's often not the programmers, that make decisions like this. :( — Boris Brodski 59 secs ago

Greetings, welcome to SO! Questions asking for a software recommendations are generally considered off-topic for the site, and better asked on softwarerecs.stackexchange.com . Perhaps this represents some sort of exception, but you may find this question closed at some point. Just a heads up-- as a new user, you may wish to review How to Ask to get some insight into the manner in which to ask your questions that best enable the community to assist you. Good luck, and happy coding! — Alexander Nied 23 secs ago

Hi and welcome to SO. SO is not a forum, tutorial/guide nor a personal help desk. Even if it might sounds harsh to you, your topic does not belong here nor does it have any value for SO. SO is for programmers that already know how to prgram and stuck with very specifc coding issues. Issues that they cant resolve on their own even after own research efford. For code review, use the stackexchange codereview: codereview.stackexchange.com - As your topic missing a spicific coding issue and do not meet the SO guidelines, it will be flagged for closure. — tacoshy 31 secs ago

This works great, and DataGrip makes it easy to extend and add extractors. Of course changing of the decimal separator should be easy to set without coding. I am aware that DG is the programmers tool, like all Jet Brain products, but basic things should be included. In the code provided it is easy to change also other things to your preference. — ant 29 secs ago

I have the favor to ask you clicking on gray displayed delete link to delete (in real just hide) your question which is off-topic for Stack Overflow according to help topics What topics can I ask about here? and What types of questions should I avoid asking? Reading the documentation/help/manual of a command to use in a script or program code should be a matter of course without asking other programmers for help, especially if the error message informs you how to get help on usage. — Mofi 49 secs ago

The stackoverflow is for programming questions. It is not for recommendations. Your requirements lack precision. Please use the recommendations site instead softwarerecs.stackexchange.com — mao 48 secs ago

Both languages have shortcomings: you certainly can do this in C, but it is somewhat tedious. As for Python, calling an array a list is fostering a whole generation of confused programmers. Shame on GVR. — chqrlie 19 secs ago

Several tools provide free or payed content. A good software engineer accounts for this during the design phase, to avoid going through this nasty situation. I am not able to help you, but from the looks of it, you are pushing a scientific research (for collaboration?). I see you are pushing two files with the same name, a pdf and a docx - maybe you can trim off one of the two from the repository. Same goes for images: if you have a script generating them, maybe you'll be able to trim them off as well. This should help you with your quota. — Daemon Painter 38 secs ago

describe "performance issues"? It's almost certainly fine in 99% of implementations but the only way to test if it is performant is to test it. Basically this is premature optimisation — Liam 1 min ago

Are you attempting to do this with code, such as VBA? The Stack Overflow forum is for helping programmers, who are writing code solutions. The Word SuperUser forum or Microsoft Answers for Word, is probably where you should post your question. — Rich Michaels 18 secs ago

"Asking for advice" is not a question that StackOverflow wants to have on this site. This question should be closed as Off Topic. The site's primary goal is not to help individual programmers, but rather to build a base of Q/A knowledge. This question has no "answer" and so does not belong on a Q/A site. — Steve 12 secs ago

Please carefully read this. It explains why questions like this one aren't suitable for this platform, and why asking for the answer in this manner is actively detrimental to your learning. Further, this blatant plagiarism is highly disrespectful to your professors and TAs (like myself). Instructors are putting in hours of work to adapt to online teaching in a deadly pandemic; the bare minimum of respect you can show them is to do the work yourself instead of cheating. — nanofarad 31 secs ago

@georgekrax - I was not unkind. I welcomed them, and then simply stated what the site is about. There's nothing unkind about that. "Asking for advice" is not a question that StackOverflow wants to have on this site. This question should be closed as Off Topic. The site's primary goal is not to help individual programmers, but rather to build a base of Q/A knowledge that will help a large number of future readers. This question has no "answer" and so does not belong on a Q/A site. — Steve 26 secs ago

In C++, new should be one of the last tools in your toolbox you reach for. See Why should C++ programmers minimize use of 'new'? And instead follow the advice of Stroustrup: don’t store data unnecessarily, keep data compact, and access memory in a predictable manner. Rules you should follow in all languages. — user4581301 20 secs ago

Stack Overflow has specific rules against asking for software recommendations. A sibling site SoftwareRecommendations.StackExchange.com is dedicated to that need. I suggest you rewrite your Question to more generally ask about to run your app in Tomcat via Maven. — Basil Bourque 38 secs ago

Please read this and come back when you've made an attempt. It explains why questions like this one aren't suitable for this platform, and why asking for the answer in this manner without trying yourself is actively detrimental to your learning. If it's still too hard for you, seek extra instruction from your school or a dedicated tutor. — nanofarad 11 secs ago

SO is not a shopping assistance site. This site is for specific questions related to programming (code) or use of a programmers tool (IDE, compiler, etc.).

Welcome to Stack Overflow. Please take the tour to learn how Stack Overflow works and read How to Ask on how to improve the quality of your question.

I am not saying, "I don't want / like to declare my virables." what I am after is not to see some 100s of lines before my first executable stmt. I am looking for a way to write them in another file and excel will include it whwn it is running. I am a 60+ years old software engineer and I believe I know what is structured programing. In good old days we had macro preprocessors to do this. Now I am looking for something like that. Or like the #include directive as in C/C++ to include my declaration. Hope I made myself more clear. — Mustafa Sinasi Erol 45 secs ago

Stack Overflow is a poor fit for this kind of question. If you take the tour, you'll see this is a site for programmers, not designers. You might look at the help center and see if your question can be made on-topic for User Experience. Good Luck. — Heretic Monkey 16 secs ago
