'''Q:'''It compiles, but when we edit the line for the first time and then press enter, then it crashes.<br>
'''A:''' Make sure that you aren't overwriting the null byte at any point in the editing. After terminating the edit() function, a1test does a strcmp() of str and the successful string. If str is missing a null byte, it might be strcmp() crashing your program. Are you getting a seg fault? (Submitted by Team 9)<br>
'''A:''' Make sure your console window is long enough. The a1test.cpp sets ROW_ERRORS to 22 and then does row++ after every error. If your console is smaller than ~30 rows this makes the program try and print outside the screen and it crashes! (Answered by Team 6) <br>'''A:'''Julian Burton solved my problem. At the beginning I declared <br>char* original; original = new char[strlen(str) + 1]; strcpy(original, str);<br>but the size wasn't enough, so instead of strlen(str) + 1, I changed that to new char[maxStrLength + 1], and then it worked.<br>'''Submitted by:''' Shayan Vaghei & Mohamed Baig Team4<br><br>

'''A:''' List any dynamic allocations you are using (and check for doubled delete [] statements), and refer to [http://www.efnetcpp.org/wiki/Heap_Corruption this page] for more information on potential problems.
Also, make sure that you're not offsetting or repositioning past the end of the string allocation (maxStrLength). That could cause problems. (Answered Submitted by Team 9)<br>
'''A:''' I tracked the issue down. The a1test.cpp sets ROW_ERRORS to 22 and then does row++ after every error. If your console is smaller than ~30 rows this makes the program try and print outside the screen and it crashes! (Answered by Team 6)

'''Q:''' Do i always assume that the field length given is not more than the width of the whole screen from the given column for display function?<br>'''A:''' No, program your function in a way that it does follow the given instructions but it does not print any character passed the screen size and It should NOT print the rest on next line. (Answered by Team 1)<br>'''Submitted by:''' Team 1 <br><br> '''Q:''' Can I create 64-bit executable using borland compiler? <br>'''A:''' No you cannot create 64-bit executable. With Borland compiler you can only create 32-bit executable. <br>'''Submitted by:''' Shajinth Pathmakulaseelan and Auquib Rasul, Team 2 <br><br> '''Q:''' Can ncurses package capture mouse events ? <br>'''A:''' Yes ncurses library in linux can capture events from mouse but in some environments, xterm is used under the X window system. <br>'''Submitted by:''' Shajinth Pathmakulaseelan and Auquib Rasul, Team 62 <br><br>
== Possible Additional Features: /Challenging & Interesting Enhancements ==
=== Features Proposed by Team 42 ===
#[[:File:Dumb_word_wrapping.jpg|Dumb word wrapping]] - Cut off string at the end of line and wrap it (Proposed by Team42)
#[[:File:Smart_word_wrapping.jpg|Smart word wrapping]] - Smart word wrapping - words are not cut off mid-word while wrapping (Proposed by Team42)
#Optimization - the 'test' compiled .exe has efficiency issues when scrolling around the string (Proposed by Team42)
#Colors - you can add color to the test program if you're making your own main
#Timer - to keep track of how long the user has been running your custom main
#Files - Read string from file, use that string for editing, then write the result string to that file, overwriting original
