Hey, /g/. I've got a mid to high-tier laptop in decent condition I'm trying to sell, but the OS (Windows 8.1) came pre-loaded so there's no install disk to do a full reinstall.

Should I use my bootleg Windows 8 to refresh it to factory settings? Should I try putting Ubuntu on there and let the person I sell it to work it out? Or is there another option I'm not considering.

Also, in case you wanted to maybe buy it yourself the laptop in question is a Toshiba Satellite P50 (not the touchscreen one) AST2GX1. Just let me know if you're interested and I'll drop more details.

I'm looking to update my Galaxy Note to the 4 when it releases for Verizon in 2 days. I don't want to go through Verizon, and I'm paying full price for the device. VZW's website keeps trying to trick you into singing up for their More 4 Plans and to lose your grandfathered data.

What are reputable retailers I can purchase from?

What to help me with my homework /g/?

Why the fuck does why does the last arr2 printf keep giving a huge negative number?

int main()
{
 int arr[100];
 int arr2[9];
 int size;
 scanf("%d", &size);
 initialize_array(arr, size);
 printf("\n%d", count_numbers(arr, size, 4));
 arr2[4]=count_numbers(arr, size, 4);
 printf("\n%d", arr2[4]);
 return 0;
}

void initialize_array(int arr[], int size)
{
 int i;
 srand(time(NULL));
 for(i=0; i<size; i++)
 {
 arr[i]=rand()%10;
 }
}

int count_numbers(int arr[], int size, int num)
{
 int i, count;
 for(i=0; i<size; i++)
 {
 if(arr[i]==num)
 {
 count++;
 }
 }
 return count;
}

Hey /g/, I'm a computer programming student stuck on a homework problem. I need to write this problem in C++

A video store sells Blu-ray discs for $9.99 each. They are having a “buy two get one free” sale now. For every two Blu-ray discs you buy, you can get the third one free. Write a program to calculate how much a customer needs to pay. The following are two examples.

How many Blu-ray discs are you buying? 7
Total price: $49.95

How many Blu-ray discs are you buying? 8
Total price: $59.94

I would really appreciate the help!
