William Arends - Random Code Blog

I took my homework, did it, then turned it into a a lot more. I added menu navigation, different times tables tools, added a compare array printing vs for loop printing. This isn't a complete program and may still contain bugs.

Here is main file TimesTable.cpp

This is the Console class I built, it is CLR so no intellisense when writing. So I made it so timestable.cpp wasn't CLR.

HEADER ConsoleAPIclr

CLASS ConsoleAPIclr.cpp

Here is a quick video I did cause no one told me these tips when I started so I decided make a quick video to demonstrate how to test a online application, Some IDE tips, and how to open the console to use for debugging.
