Yes... I program on a unix machine, and I have never compiled anything before in windows but I guess it should be straightforward. I'll have a look at it tonight.

Thanks. We can make it work.

If you have questions about what is needed feel free to ask me.

 

[damnrunner]

I am fairly good at the maths but it has been a while. If you want help trouble shooting feel free to keep me in the loop.

I will keep you in the loop. Offer noted. Thanks.

Allright, I made program and as far as I can judge it works fine. I made it such that you give it as input the category number (1=gnp, 2=mfg, etc.) followed by the values listed in demographics screen. So to calculate GNP you would enter:

Democalc(1,17,21,15,1,5)

Below is the output that the program gives for the various categories, using the values for t=18 that you posted below.

Have a look if this is indeed the info that you need. Please check it very carefully, cause I don't know if it is bug free!

Thank you very much for that Norton I. That should get us started very nicely. We might be able to improve it a bit, but I didn't notice any errors and that should help us out quite a bit. So how do I get it? And I guess I need a compiler.

This and figuring how ties are calculated ought to help us out a lot.

 

[Norton I]

Yeah, I didn't use tie-breaker priority list that you posted yet. It would have been easier if we were at the top or bottom of the list... now it's a bit confusing. But it can be used to restrict cases in which 2 or more opponent share the same value with us.

Tomorrow I'll try and see if I can make a user friendly version that runs under windows. I guess that if I compile it for windows it should work on every windows machine... so let's try that first, then you don't need a compiler on your side.

I guess you could say that since we are second to last in the tie-breaker list (quatronia, merlot, cdz, sirius, AMAZON, mavericks) we can rule out cases where we have the same number as multiple other teams and our rank is ahead of more than one (6 - tiebreaker.rank) of the teams with that same number. Example: we have 17 GNP. Our rank is second because a team has 20. Say a possible value combination is 20, 17, 17, 16, 16. It wouldn't kick this out because not more than 1 team > than us and not more than 4 teams < us. But we could eliminate this case because we wouldn't be ranked ahead of two teams with the same number as us. This is small, and may not make an appearance very often so wouldn't be that hard to do by hand.

This will save me a lot of time and scratch paper. Thanks again for this.

Norton: Do you mind posting your code?

Not at all, but I'll have to clean it up a bit and insert a few comments. Later today!

 

[Norton I]

I managed to compile the code under windows, but it's all a little bit harder than on a mac... at least I know now how to make it work under windows XP. What windows version do you use?

I attached the code in a zip file

I have Vista. I can try to compile and run, if it's easier.

 

[nabaxo]

There shouldn't be any problem to compile that code.

 

[Norton I]

There shouldn't be any problem to compile that code.

How do you compile stuff under windows? I downloaded cygwin, which did the trick but has 2 problems: a) it still depends on some cygwin libraries b) it can only be run in the cygwin environment or in a dos window. (because you have to be able to give command line input).

There are three options:
1) install cygwin if you want to use it
2) copy the needed cygwin libraries and run it in a DOS window (available in windows XP but I am not sure if Vista or 7 also has it)
3) I could adapt the code so it can run interactively

The third would be the most elegant, but it would also take the most time.

The second option is the fastest/easiest if it works... but I can't check it myself 'cause I don't have Vista.

Silent, could you try the following
1.Go to the Start Menu
2.Enter 'cmd' in the Start Search box
If this opens an interactive window in which you can type commands, then I think it will work

Yes. It opens a command prompt window where you can type things.

 

[Norton I]

Then this should work....

1. Open the attached zip file and put all files in C:\democalc (or any other location you wish)

2. Go to "Start Search" and type 'cmd'

3. In the window type:

cd c:\democalc
democalc 1 17 21 15 1 5

...or of course any other set of numbers.

Hope it works!

That's great!

 

[nabaxo]

Yep, that's how you run command-line programs in Windoze. And for compilation, I'd use a readily made, free IDE, such as dev-c++ : http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/index.html or http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/

 

[remake20]

Wait, so what does it do?
