Psion Is Back :-), With Windows :-(

Posted by timothy on from the perhaps-familiar-will-run dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Forbes has an article about the come back of Psion in the high end PDA market. Psion's OS, Symbian, that used to power their PDA (as the Revo for example, or the Series 3, or the Series 5), has been mostly used in cell phones lately, like the Nokia 3650. According to Forbes's article, the new Psion laptop/PDA, the Netbook Pro, will not be powered by Symbian OS, but by Microsoft CE.Net." prostoalex points out a ZDNet review of the device, "which is smaller than your usual notebook PC, but larger than a regular PDA. The product Web site contains specifications in PDF format. It's an Intel Xscale PXA255 400MHz, 128MB SDRAM and 32MB Flash, SVGA (800x600) device supporting CompactFlash and Secure Digital (usual for PDAs) as well as PCMCIA (usual for laptops)," and notes that despite the OS, "the specs list the presence of JEM-CE Java Virtual Machine."

    Looking at your binary.cpp source code...

    Here's some (free of charge and thought) advice:

    You don't ever need to do cout (less than, less than) "(space)(space)", that's what \t is for. (style quibble, who cares)
    Why are you using .h includes in cpp code? They are deprecated. Use "#include " and the proper using statement.
    Function prototypes man! If you include those, it's easier to read, and you can put your main at the top of the file, where it belongs.
    Don't feel like analyzing your binary search function, but did you test the edge cases? Like looking for the very last value in the array (or the first) ?


    And finally, Slash is FUCKING WORTHLESS thanks for not letting me use less than and blank spaces. Maybe it could use some code review as well.
