cfexecute for mathematical algorithms

[gottagetcodin]

Hi I need to write C++ programs to do long mathematical algorithms which I
want to combine into cfm pages. I know java is quicker but i dont use java and
C++ CFX tags are enough to drive someone mad. Now that MX6.1 can return a
variable from an executable program, is it feasible to run the exe files thru
cfexecute. Lets say I've got a number of scalar inputs and return a single
output. Can anyone show me the cfm/C++ code required to run a function adding
two numbers together and returning the result as an example? Thanks in advance

CFX would be a better choice, of course. You can write a standing-alone EXE
and CFEXECUTE it, if you want. The following are rules: 1. To pass
parameters you can use command line arguments and to parse them in your C
program. Some alternate CFEXECUTE implementations also can use stdin to read
the data, like this one: [url]http://www.cftagstore.com/tags/cfxexec.cfm[/url] Of
course, you can use a data file for input also. 2. If you want to return
something to CF, you have to write to stdout. Stdout stream can be returned
back to CF. Again an output file is an option also.
