Age: 26

I'm a software engineering, web developing, C++ programming gym attendee with a passion for gaming, long distance running and Open Source Software.

I graduated Teesside University in the UK with a first class bachelors in Computer Programming in 2009. My main interests in my field are artificial intelligence (particularly evolving systems) and operating system design.

In my brief two years in the real world, I have been working developing web based data applications in ASP.NET for the UK Health service, and have been learning various design patterns, as well as becoming a competent (although by no admission an expert) JavaScript hacker.

@LeviTheDegu Speaking as someone whose has developed his fair share of code in languages where ' and " mean the same thing, I understand your frustration :-)

@WhozCraig Really? Interesting. I always thought that was possible. I guess I've never tried it! I'll update my answer.

Well you can still set the output later on, but yes, it does need to be constructed initially.

comment Program Creating a vector of vectors and counting number of combinations
@SeanCollinLeeRay - Fair enough. When you make a new question, you should actually state the problem you're having, so that we don't have to guess :-)

comment How can I get the search (float right) on the top
Yes you'd put it around the <a> tag, but you'd also need to make it display:block I think. I'll make an example and add it to my answer.
