I'm wondering how could I convert   to "space" in html. Is that possible? When I try to place   in some editor I'm using, the result shows exactly the same. I want to produce a "space" instead of exactly the same. Is that possible?

#define n 9999
bool IsPerfect(int n);


main()
{
int j;

for(j = 1; j <=n; j++)
{
if(IsPerfect(n) == TRUE)
{
printf("%d", IsPerfect(n));
}
}
}
bool IsPerfect(int n)
{
int total, i;
total = 0;

for(i=1; i <= n; i++)
{

if(n % i == 0)
{
total += i;


}
if(total == i)
{
return(TRUE);
}
else
{


return(FALSE);
}
}
}


Ok so I get a syntax error on the two lines that have "bool IsPerfect(int n)" and I have no idea why.....help?

I know many will say to not mess with it if I don't know what I'm doing.
I'd like to set a macro in VI so that while in command mode, if I type something, say "gcc", it will run the following command:

!gcc % && a.out

Not that it is too horribly time consuming to type that or just !! to repeat that each time... I was just wanting to learn what my possibilities were. Is it something that needs to go in my .exrc file? Thanks.

I want to make a website that provides an integrated message board / chat room. In other words - you can either chat on a topic interactively, or post message board messages. I plan to use javascript to make the chat interface interactive.

What is the best programming language or environment to implement this?

I was planning on using Ruby on Rails, but then wondered if there was a better environment. I'm worried about the performance if several hundred people are chatting all at once (in multiple chat rooms).

Also, don't just tell me a good way to do this - please also tell me *why*. Thank you!

Your help is greatly appreciated.

I am in the process of building a dot net nuke based website. I Would like to verify customer's cell phone number through site's automated SMS validation system by sending a computer generated password to a cell phone number which is entered by the user during the sign up process, and have them type this password at the at the verification prompt so that I'd know whoever is signing up is the person has that cell phone.
another question linked to the one above:
Is it possible to have this system run without buying a service , if not, is there a module or component that I can pay-to-own or pay-to-rent or any other way. I want this system to send this SMS password instantly or may be with a delay of no more than 30 seconds. Your answers highly appreciated

I have two choices for running a query and I'm curious to know which would be more efficient. And if there wouldn't be any significant difference in efficiency, is one more preferable to the other?

The first would return a query that would return a small number of rows and then I would run a sub query while processing each row which would return as many as 20 additional rows for each row in the first query. The first query would return about 10 rows with about 15 columns each, the second query would return about 20 rows with 4 columns for each row in the first query.

The second option would be to run 1 query which would return several hundred rows and break it up using loops within the my PHP script. Each of the several hundred rows is going to contain about 20 columns.

If I use the second option, each row is going to contain all the data from both queries.
