Topic: delete groups

Made mistakes... happens.Now I want to DELETE GROUP (S).
I'll try again after I watch the video, lol.
Blame jack the knife for getting me into this...hahahah!

Re: delete groups

Hi,

You can delete it by going to the group, going to Members, and then deleting yourself. You will see an option when you delete yourself to also delete the group.

BTW - how did you create your groups? I ask because right now there is a limit of 5 groups total (joined or created) per user. You seem to have six.

Thanks,
Sol

Re: delete groups

Hey, Max - I suggested it, but Dagnee told you to do it. So blame her, not me. smile

Re: delete groups

Oh. My. God. Not six groups!! You, maxkeanu, are a groupie among groupies.
Can you or anyone else tell me where the read-and-review tab is on my homepage?
This search and read format is the pits.

Try the Read menu item at the top of the page.

Hi Sol,
How did I d0 it? I sat down with a bottle of Sangria and started typing... beats me.

But when I was a mad-hatter coder, when I got +1 errors,  I always checked my SQL rows creation code and limitations, AND math functions and precedence of expressions, making sure that the code started from 0. So, 0 though 4, not 1 through 5, in an array... means evaluating, counting from 1 through 5 which would give you 6.

Time for a new bottle of Sangria and some Friday night salsa music!

You just proved something I've long suspected. Zero really does have value numerically. Good for you for trying! dags:)

Re: delete groups

The Greeks didn't believe that one is a number.
The Romans didn't believe that zero is a number.
It took until about 1600 for for negative numbers to be accepted.
It took until nearly 1800 for imaginary numbers to be accepted (depending on the mathematician, of course.  Euler doesn't count.  Euler was ahead of everything.)

You've just broken the Classical Roman barrier!  smile

i was a dunderhead in math, but I do remember my teacher's explanation of imaginary number— like rainbow colored sheep, counted in your sleep— loved that teacher!

As you can see, all the arrays start with [0]. As did the universe, according to Hawking and Pee Wee Herman..

Re: delete groups

Yes, unless you're working in Fortran.  (Or did they fix that?  I haven't looked in eons, but it would seem to go against the spirit of the language.)

It makes more sense if you think of the floors of a building.  'First' floor is zero flights up.  In languages influenced by C, the subscript is the number of flights up.

Either an appreciation of machine instruction architecture or of mathematical half-open intervals will make this more comfortable.

In Fortran, the array generally starts at 1, unless you define it differently (i.e., in the dimension statement, saying array(0:100), or even array(-100:100)). At least that's true since Fortran '77.

Re: delete groups

Oh, quite right.  I forgot they added that.  Shows how long it's been.

Did they ever get rid of the blockdata statement?  That was one of my interview questions for people who claimed to be Fortran aces.   I don't recall one candidate who even came close.

Yes and no. Starting in Fortran90, they use "modules" which duplicate a lot of the functionality of common blocks. But most compilers still recognize F77 code and blockdata statements with the right options.  I still like common blocks and use them all the time - once you understand them, they work very well.

I never expected to be discussing Fortran in a writing newsgroup. smile

Re: delete groups

What-- you don't write it?  Or it's not creative enough?

Re: delete groups

I don't understand how the subject could have evolved to such complex terminologies my puny fifteen year old mind cannot comprehend. Mathematical errors are springing through my head as I mentally shut down from digesting the fact that zero apparently is not a number and it is in fact a complex diagram of seperate entities that form a collective consensus of different preceding thought processes and fundamental physics that the following explanation of every atom is made up of neutrons, protons and electrons is moot in the face of it.

In simple words. My mind was screwed over.
