7 Card Hand Evaluators

[Masterplan]

Well, by the looks of it you have the hard part done. I use the VS2005 myself, so you shouldn't have too much trouble. Obviously it can't find the file... Perhaps if you look to see where it is on your hard drive and point to it directly. instead of the :
FILE * fin = fopen("..\\HandRanks.dat", "rb");
use:
FILE * fin = fopen("c:\\directory\\path\\you\\founditin\\HandRa nks.dat", "rb");
if (!fin) printf("I Missed it Again!!"); // if you see this message, you still aren't opening the file!

Have a Great Day!!

found the problem. for some reason the write in HandRankSetup failed if it was over a certain size. so i split the HR array into 2 parts and wrote them a part at a time.

BAD!! = 0
High Card = 23294460

Full House = 3473184
Four of a Kind = 224848
Straight Flush = 41584
Total Hands = 133784560

Validation seconds = 0.6090
Total HighPrecision Clocks = 2230899
HighPrecision clocks per lookup = 0.016675
