C++ :: Array Of Structures - Storing Product Information
Nov 5, 2013
I have been dealing with this problem for quite some time, I've been assigned to develop a program that can store products' information within structures (the number of products is undefined). I thought I should use an array of structures, but I don't know how to declare it properly. This is what I thought would work:
struct product {
string name;
string in_stock;
float sale_cost;
int id; }
prod [n]; //n being the undefined number of products the user will register/delete/modify
I already saw an example of array of structures, but it uses a defined number.
I have to create a program that incorporates an array of structures in order to simply read input from the user and then reprint that information to the screen. This is a fairly simple problem, but the issue is that the professor requires that we solve it in a very specific way.
I must have three functions in total: one to receive input from the user, one to print the received values, and of course the main function which calls the other two. Also, the input and output functions must be defined using the following prototypes:
typedef struct// Component { float cost; int code; char name[30];
[Code] ....
I know that this problem could be easily solved by simply passing the entire 'comp' array to the inputData function, or passing a pointer to it, or having it return a pointer, but I am not allowed to do any of these things. I must use the function as defined by the prototype.
I want to have input data stored in a database. All information entered is to be stored under a single block. That way whenever I want to recover that information all I have to do is point to that block. Think of it like this. I want a large square block that can hold certain information. Inside of that large block are a finite amount of smaller blocks in which the user entered information about a single subject. Lets say block 1 has a name, address, and phone number. The second block will have the same TYPE of information, but different values as entered by the user. I.E:
BLOCK 1: Name 1, Address 1, Phone 1 BLOCK 2: Name 2, Address 2, Phone 2 etc.
The large block contains all of the smaller blocks, we will name the large block "Address Book" ... How would I implement that? Of course it would be just a simple console program that would erase all information when the program shut down, but I've been trying to figure out how to do it, but just can't seem to grasp a good notion of how to do it. What would be the best way to do that? Structures? How would I make it dynamic so that I wouldn't have to define every block, so that it would be added on the fly when someone inputs new information.
I need to be able to make matches from the data i input, and also classifying between male and female. matches for person with specific traits (not one in the program) i really tried for the first part and now the rest is mentally disturbing me. and also to generate a report of partners found.
#include<string.h> #include <iostream> using namespace std; char username[20]; char storedusername[20]; char password[20]; char storedpassword[20]; int loginresult; char name[20];
#include <iostream> #include<fstream> int decryption(int); int multiply(int,int[][2]); using namespace std; main(){ int n; ifstream inFile; inFile.open ("out.txt");
[Code] .....
I was trying to store numbers read from a text file into 2D array but I am getting the error above.here is where the error occurs:
How do I store pointers to a struct in an array ? I am using sprintf to concatenate some values together and then output it to an array in its 1st argument. A portion of my code is shown below.
I am going to be using a boolean variable to mark whether or not a specific field has had data entered into it. I figure the best way to do that is to initialize all the elements of the structures to 0. However, with strings and with the nested structure, I'm not sure how to do this.
I have to write a program that reads from a text file, which contains a list of stock hourly prices and the company names. Something like this:
78.52 82.56 75.10 71.97 Water Company 22.40 25.68 21.37 22.96 Mega Shipping Inc
There's suppose to one array of companies, where each company will be kept in a structure that contains: a pointer for the name, an array of the prices, and the average price for the day. The structures will be kept in an array of structures.
My question is, how do I read the data from the file and put the data from each line into the next structure in the array of structures? I read the numbers in fine. I just use:
I am making a basic music library that stores information rather than files. I need to read from a .txt file the artist's name, the album name, the song name, and the song length. What I am confused about is storing the information in an array of Artist structures.
struct Song{ string songName; int songLength; }; struct Album{
[Code] ...
How to read the information into an array of Artists. Also, how would I be able to figure out if the artist already exists in the array when adding a song and if the artist does, add the album under the existing artist.This is how I am reading in the info:
Artist newArtist; Album newAlbum; Song newSong; ifstream inF("library.txt"); while(!inF.eof()) {
struct b { char fullname[100]; char title[100]; bopname };
and i declare a pointer to the struct as follows
b* bp;
and at runtime,
bp = new b[5];
In the end, is the statement delete[ ] bp enough to release the dynamically allocated memory. Or do i need to separately delete bp[0],bp[1]...
Does delete[ ] bp indicate that the array[ ] pointed by bp has to be deleted?? [I am confused as to how this happens, since the pointer only points at the 1st struct address]
I tried in internet but am unable to know the differences. I want to know the difference between those two in terms of run time and compile time. Explanation required also for below one. Is this run time or compile time? How does we actually decide which is run time and which is compile time!
I am doing a data structures program on C++ that is suposse to consist of declaring an array of size five for my credit card structure, that allows the user to input information of five diferent credit cards. I am having a problem with my program, because it runs but after I input the information of the credit card, it does not print out the values that I had input.I dont know where I went wrong with the code or if it is that my approach to solving it is wrong. My code is the following:
Osgood,Marcus 298542123 CHM FR mosgood@whatever.edu Cronk,Melissa 873489021 BIO SR mcronk@whatever.edu Pry,Seth 349908431 MTH SO spry@whatever.edu Langlais,Susan 783323545 ME SR slanglais@whatever.edu Davis,Nicole 987543345 PHY FR ndavis@whatever.edu
It's supposed to split it up into name, ID number, major, year, and email. The file reads it without any errors, and assigns name to the first part of the structure. However, ID gets assigned the ID, major, year, and email. Then Major gets assigned major, year, and email. Year gets assigned year and email, while email just gets assigned email. I don't know if it has something to do with the loop. For example, this is what I get what I print just the name and the ID.

Langlais,Susan 783323545ME
Davis,Nicole 987543345 PHYFRndavis@whatever.edu
Anyway. This is my function code for reading the array. I have it printing the ID number just to see if I can catch the errors earlier:
And now I want to allocate memory, for a variable number (so an array) of example_struct, so I first do: Code:
example struct *all_struct; int total_num = 3; //will be set somehow, but for the example I set it on 3 all_struct = malloc (sizeof(example_struct) * total_num);
And now, as far as I now, I will have to allocate for each field of the structure memory, in order to be able to use it later. But I have problem at this point, a problem of understanding:
- I just allocated memory for 3 structures, but don't I have to allocate then memory for each structure separately, or can I just now allocate the fields like this:
I am doing an exercise which has to do with International country codes.The user must give a code and the programm will display the corresponding country.
Background: I'm writing a convolutional encoder (and decoder, eventually) for a microprocessor (PIC24), for which I'm using structs and pointers to move from state to state. So far as I'm aware, everything I'm using in the PIC involves nothing other than ANSI C.
I have a little experience with structures, having written a linked-list program for a class a couple years back, but nothing since and never used structure arrays. I have the feeling I'm missing something basic here, which is what's so frustrating. The most confusing error (and I suspect the root of most of them) is the 'state undeclared', which I just can't figure.
The errors I'm getting are:
encoder.c:11: warning: 'struct memstate' declared inside parameter list encoder.c:11: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want encoder.c: In function 'state_init': encoder.c:22: error: two or more data types in declaration specifiers encoder.c:25: error: 'state' undeclared (first use in this function) encoder.c:25: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
[Code]....
Code:
Code: //Includes #include <stdlib.h> //------------------------------------------------------------------------------ //Creates state machine and passes back pointer to 00 state void state_init(struct memstate* startpoint) { extern struct memstate { char output0; //output if next input is 0
[code]...
NB: I'm aware that at the moment, this code will do nothing except spin round that do-while loop. Once it's actually compiling I'll drop in some simple button-based test code so it'll check for the correct output.
I am at a loss with an assignment. I am supposed to read from a text file, with an input of something like this: alphaproleone,stroke,42 1 and Store it into an array of structures and then output it with each word/number starting on a new line. My current code prints out only the first part, and the "a" in alphaproleone is the actual number "21".
#include <iostream> #include <string> #include<fstream> #include<iomanip> using namespace std; typedef struct drugtype { string name, target; int effectiveness, toxicity;
So I'm trying to make an employee list that holds the information so I can then delete or add from that array. I'm getting some errors regarding overloading function.
I'm trying to read the data from a file i/o and put them into an array of structs. But when I run the program, it gives me a bunch of "garbage" as an output. my code and see
