Do you mean you'll post code that was given to you, and you want us to change it so it works? Then you can hand it in for your grade? Sounds like a good plan... :-/

Re: New Laptop/Desktop Replacement

Re: Calling exit(???) functions

I don't understand why you are using exit(). Why call a function when you can simply return to leave the program?

Re: binary counting

The sign bit is not necessarily part of a data structure. But it is part of all unsigned numeric data (int, char, float, etc).

Re: Side project (website) what do you think of it?

What I'd do is simply remove the underline. Keep the current page bold, and add a lower bar on the mouseover of the other selections, giving you a bar above and below.

Re: Linked List problem - Deleting a node

You need to keep track of the last_ptr. Then when you delete, last_ptr.next is loaded with current_ptr.next before you delete current_ptr.

Not sure what you mean. Re-run? Please explain in detail.

You probably shouldn't be calling exit() in the function. Just return and let main() handle exiting.
