Erwin: Feb 17, 2006

Horrible newbie question:

In this code:

code:

sprintf (ProdChar, "%d", Product);

...is there any reason that an int called Greatest that has nothing to do with this line would change? If I cout << Greatest just before and just after the line, the output is

code:

9009
8960

But once it's 8960, it stays 8960 even though it goes through this line several more times. Witchcraft is the only explanation I can come up with. :tinfoil:

VV That's the ticket. I bumped ProdChar's size up by one and it fixed it. Thanks!
