    Error Printing
AI Thread Summary
When using if and else commands in C++, it's essential to provide clear error messages for users when conditions are not met. A common approach is to utilize the printf function to display messages, such as "The three given sides do not form a valid triangle." It's important to communicate the nature of the error effectively, helping users understand what went wrong in the program. This practice enhances user experience and debugging efficiency.

Can you elaborate more ? What error message are trying to type ? I think you are already familiar with printf function.
 
You could simply output something like:

"The three given sides do not form a valid triangle."

I'm not certain how you are expected to display output, but I seem to recall using the [m]printf()[/m] function.
 
yeah i realized that all i had to do was output an error statement

Typically, as the coder, you want to indicate the nature of the error to the end-user so that the user has some idea what went wrong. :D
 
Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'
I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.
