Is this for bloody real? My account is blocked for asking too many questions? This is supposed to be a site for programmers to ask questions when they need help.... from people who have more knowledge than themselves. I am NOT a software developer. I am a university student who has NEVER done any kind of software developing before. 3 months of a java course last year was it and that was piss poor taught. So what does one do? Reach out. Ask for assistance... And what happens. You get mocked, belittled, treated like vermin and then restricted from asking questions because.... — Stevie 17 secs ago

@John ! Thank you very much for your answer. The problem has been solved. However, this seems to be a silly question to experienced programmers like you, so I will delete it as soon as you can read this comment. — EmilyNg 21 secs ago

@M.M Wrong. strcpy() should never be used. In part because people who use it are still likely to have off-by-one bugs because they don't take into account the terminating zero byte when calculating the length of the source. No competent software engineer would ever introduce its use today. — Kurtis Rader 39 secs ago

Competent software engineers know about null terminators so your statement seems self-contradictory . And an off-by-one error is possible regardless of whatever "strcpy alternative" you have in mind . — M.M 8 secs ago

Welcome to Stack Overflow. SO is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. The goal is that you add some code of your own to your question to show at least the research effort you made to solve this yourself. — Cyrus 21 secs ago

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because: 3. Questions asking for homework help must include a summary of the work you've done so far to solve the problem, and a description of the difficulty you are having solving it. Please edit the question add this. Please, also read this Open letter to students with homework problems. — dbc 22 secs ago

Also, it's pretty fun that "Software Engineer/ Java Technical Lead" OP can't solve this high-school-level problem by himself. — ardenit 16 secs ago

I assume you already have MIPS32™ Architecture For Programmers Volume II: The MIPS32™ Instruction Set. If not, the first thing you should do is download it. The description for SLT rd,rs,rt is "Compare the contents of GPR rs and GPR rt as signed integers and record the Boolean result of the comparison in GPR rd. If GPR rs is less than GPR rt, the result is 1 (true); otherwise, it is 0 (false)". As you can imagine, one can combine SLT with a BEQ or BNE to create an if (rs < rt) or if (rs >= rt). — Michael 55 secs ago

In the network, there's Software Recommendations site. You can ask this on that site, but make sure you've read their help section before asking. — Teemu 50 secs ago

This a fairly easy bug to spot. I know it was my fault and I'm sorry, but these are the sort things that you going to have to learn to contend with if your interested in learning how to program in any language. The reality is that we make mistakes and in some ways it's good because we become a lot better at finding them. You really need to look closely at code and pay attention to what the error says and what line it's on. And you really need to understand how to use all of the debugging tools. The only programmers that don't make mistakes are dead programmers. — Cooper 53 secs ago

Your use of new seems very wrong. There should be no need for any new in this code. Raw news are rarely needed in modern C++ and should be avoided. std::vector <std::thread*> threads; can be std::vector <std::thread> threads;, the pointer is not needed. Similarly for mat1 and mat2. Please provide a complete minimal reproducible example. — walnut 58 secs ago

"Write a python program to find…"—no, it's not okay now. Please read Open Letter to Students with Homework Problems. You can't just dump your problem statement here and expect us to do it for you. It's also a good idea to take the tour, read about what's on-topic in the help center, and How to Ask. — Chris 21 secs ago

This question is clearly off-topic according the help topic What topics can I ask about here? It is not about code written by you on which you stuck and so you need the help of other programmers to get the code working finally. This is a research question. Please read the documentation of GDrive. If there is nothing written about an automatic synchronization of a folder, this application most likely does not support that. You could contact the author of GDrive for 100% certainty. — Mofi 6 secs ago

Making a class immutable can greatly reduce the likelyhood of bugs, as such classes are much easier to reason about. But nobody is saying to make everything immutable just because it is trendy. It is another tool for the programmers toolbox. Use it when it makes sense and do not use it if not. — Zabuza 28 secs ago

Yes, it is possible, but it would be ugly, so why would you want to? --- Why is “Is it possible to…” a poorly worded question? — Andreas 56 secs ago

Welcome to SO, this requires opinions to answer and might be better for the Software Engineering StackExchange site. But yes, if part of the results of an API are determined to be unsafe for some reason (privacy, security) then they can be removed at any time. — Dave S 26 secs ago

In general, new should rarely be used in C++. It kind of makes sense for a custom string implementation, but it is certainly wrong in the code using the string implementation, i.e. String *str1 = new String("str1"); should not be using any pointers or new.

Asking for library/software recommendations is explicitly off topic. See: help center. — AMC 16 secs ago

Questions asking "Is there a way to do X?" / "Can I do X?" / "Is it possible to do X?" are rarely appropriate for the Stack Exchange format. The answer is usually "yes", but sometimes "no". Either way, the question is usually not very effective. In addition, what is usually meant is "How can I do X?", which will often, but not always, be too broad for Stack Overflow. Please edit your question to clarify what it is you want. Right now, this is a "yes"/"no" question. Please see: Why is “Is it possible to…” a poorly worded question? — Makyen 54 secs ago
