• The last notes for linked lists (example code) is now online, check below.  Reminder:  Bring in your book so I can clear you for graduation, and of course kill the test tomorrow!

(these instructions were designed for Visual C++ 6.0)

Create a new folder on your computer..

Copy in all of the unedited case study part 2 files into it. Then copy in all of the AP class files (apstring.h, apstring.cpp, apvector.cpp, apvector.h, apmatrix.cpp, apmatrix.h)...
Note: make sure you use the ORIGINAL apstring.h, not the one I modified. (if in doubt, make sure the line #include "apstring.cpp" is not at the end)...

Then double-click on fishsim.cpp. That will bring up Visual C++.

Click on rebuild-all. That will ask you if you want to create a project, select yes.

It will try to compile, and fail. That's ok.

Next click on the tab listed as "File View". Go there, and you should see fishsim files listed on there with fishsim.cpp included. (there may be more, don't worry about it).

You need to add the following files into fishsim files (right click on the title fishsim files and select Add Files to project): apstring.cpp, fish.cpp, environ.cpp, display.cpp, nbrhood.cpp, position.cpp, randgen.cpp, simulate.cpp, utils.cpp

Make sure all of those and fishsim.cpp are listed in there.

Now, if you choose compile it SHOULD work. (it does on my system)

Undoubtedly, you have faced many a problem with all of the ap add-ons.  There is a reason (ok, there are a few possible reasons).  #1 - you may not have them on your system.  #2 - there is a BUG in apstring.cpp (at least in terms of it being able to work with Visual C++)

To run apstring you should have the following 2 files in your include directory (which on Visual C++ 6.0 installed on the C drive will probably be your C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include directory).  Note: apstring.cpp is fixed so you can actually use #include <apstring.h> to use it!
apstring.cpp apstring.h

To run apvector you should have the following 2 files in your include directory (which on Visual C++ 6.0 installed on the C drive will probably be your C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include directory).
apvector.cpp apvector.h

To run apmatrix you should have the following 2 files in your include directory (which on Visual C++ 6.0 installed on the C drive will probably be your C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include directory).
apmatrix.cpp apmatrix.h
