            First off, this is a "homework" question so vector libraries and string libraries are off limits. I'm trying to get to the basics of c++.
My intention with this code is to make and use an array of string arrays. A list of words in other words.
When I run this code I get a bunch of nonsense.
If there is a better way to make a list of w...

            Question
How can I randomly generate one of two states, with the probability of 'red' being generated 10% of the time, and 'green' being generated 90% of the time?
Background
Every 2 second either a green or a red light will blink.
This sequence will continue for 5 minutes. 
The total number of occurrences of a blinking light should...
            
           
          
            
            Hey everyone,
I was wondering if it is possible to traverse a linked list like this:
currentNode = randomNode;//where randomNode may or may not = firstNode
prevNode = firstNode;
while(prevNode != currentNode 
}
Is it possible to do this in C++ when I am trying to find the node before currentNode in a singly linked list?

            I am trying to write a program that is given a maze and tries to find the way out. M is the entrance, E is the exit, 1s are walls, and 0s are pathways. It is supposed to find each path and put P in the path. It is supposed to find all available paths. Right now it finds part of a path.
Here is the code:

            For my computer science class, we need to write a program (in C++) that takes an input of characters and outputs the possible permutations of it according to the dial pad on a phone, leaving non-digit characters in place.
For example, inputing 2 outputs 2, A, B, C. Inputing 23 outputs 23, A3, B3, C3, 2D, 2E, 2F, AD, AE, AF, BD, BE, BF, ...

The idea is to design a generic function called Modify_If that will take an input x (passed by reference), and two functors f1 and f2. The function Modify_If will use functor f1 to determine whether x obeys a certain condition. If it does, Modify_if...
