<small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I finally decided to
teach myself C++ from "Core C++: A Software Engineering Approach"
(2000) by Victor Shtern, "Rescued by C++" 3rd Ed. by Kris Jamsa (which
was a Borland Turbo C++ Lite book, and now mostly rely on C/C++
Programmer's Reference 2nd Ed. by Herbert Schildt.&nbsp; And, I finally had
a real-world application to write a program.&nbsp; Here's the code excerpt
that has me baffled.<br>
<br>
for (y=1; y&lt;=i; y++);<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if (Groupset[y].substr(0,3) == Day1.substr)x*3-3,3))<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; {<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; TotDay[x-1]++;<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; while (MtgCode0 == "P") MtgType=10;<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; while (MtgCode0 == "L") MtgType=11;<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; while (MtgCode0 == "W") MtgType=12;<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; switch (MtgType)<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; {<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; case '10': TotP++; break;<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; case '11': TotL++; break;<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; case '12': TotW++; break;<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; default: TotOther++;<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; } &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; // terminates Switch<br>
<br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; }&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; // terminates if<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; };&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; // terminates for<br>
<br>
Up to this point, the program runs fine, but it hangs when it hits
"while (MtgCode0 == "W") MtgType=12.&nbsp; In Debug, I set this line and the
"switch (MtgType) line as checkpoints.&nbsp; When the "while" stmt is
encountered, it turns blue in Debug, and will not go past this point.&nbsp;
Debug will not continue; the cursor stays on this line.&nbsp; Note that the
Debug screen is not frozen -- I can still set checkpoints, move the
cursor, etc.&nbsp; But it will not continue after this point.<br>
<br>
What's going on here?<br>
<br>
Thx, Ken<br>
