C :: Array Of Structures And Passing Pointers To Structs
Feb 24, 2013
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 have an assignment where I need to use pointers to do a few things and I am a little confused on the syntax of it all. My question is how do you use a pointer to point to an array of structs.
For example
struct info{ char firstName[15]; char lastName[15]; }; main() { info person[4]; cout << "The third letter of the second persons first name is: "; // ????? }
how would I define a pointer to point to the third letter of first name the second person in the "person" array.
what I am trying to do is to pass to a function the address of an array of structs, so I can later modify the items within the struct, within the array
Code: typedef struct { //A struct of name auctionint bidder;float bid;} auction; void myFunction (auction * auctionItem[]){(*aucItem[x]).bid = y;(*aucItem[x]).bidder = z;} int main(){auction theItems[10]; myFunction(theItems);} Where x, y, and z can be any number.
When I try to run my code the IDE (I'm using Code::Blocks 12.11) does not give me any errors, but it does give me a warning:
warning: passing argument 3 of '<function name>' from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]
and the note:
note: expected 'struct <struct name> **' but argument is of type 'struct <struct name> *'.Also, when I run the program, it will crash and return garbage.
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 have a a group of text files that are used as input into a program. Another very similar program needs the same data in a different input format. I am writing a program that will read in each line of data and parse it. I have successfully written the program in main() such that it will read until the end of file. However, I am trying to re-write the program such that the algorithm is in an external function and will read one line at a time and then pass all of the character strings to the main program. The program will not compile and I am positive it has to do with an incorrect use of arrays in passing the variable "token". I am attaching a copy of the main program and the function.
I think i am getting confused with passing structs and functions all in the same...When I run through the program (it compiles), the functions that add coins do not add, but rather just replace an old value with a new one.
#include <cstdlib> #include <iostream> using namespace std; struct coinbox {
concepts on pointers to structures and referencing for the following two lines.
//address of the variable "struct UIP_IP_BUF" is assigned as srcipaddr uip_ds6_nbr_add(&UIP_IP_BUF->srcipaddr, //data type "uip_lladdr_t" pointer points to the address of array an "nd6_opt_llao" with size UIP_ND6_OPT_DATA_OFFSET (uip_lladdr_t *)&nd6_opt_llao[UIP_ND6_OPT_DATA_OFFSET]
This is my program and i dont know what is the better strategy to display the output perfectly align with the title, when i input a long variable or short the variable move and it does not align with its title. what can i do.
#include <iostream> #include <string> #include <string.h> #include <cstdlib> #include <cstring> #include <iomanip> using namespace std; struct book {
Write a program that uses a record structure to store a Student Name, Student ID, Test Scores, Average Test Score, and Grade. The program should keep a list of test scores for a group of 6 students. The program should ask for the name, ID, and four test scores for each student. Then the average test score should be calculated and stored. The course grade should be based on the following scale:
Average Test Score Course Grade ------------------ ------------ 90 - 100 A 80 - 89 B 70 - 79 C 60 - 69 D 59 or below F
A table should be displayed on the screen listing each student's name, ID, average test score, and course grade. Implement with functions.
My code runs but it isnt returning anything (readable/correct) and i have no clue why. This is what i have so far:
#include <iostream> using namespace std; const int columns = 4; struct StuRec //user defined datatype { int id[6]; char names[6][20];
[Code] .....
it compiles completely but at the end instead of showing the student name ID average score and class grade it shows.... [URL] .....

I am having a lot of trouble being able to get data from a file and input it into given structs and arrays of structs and then outputting the file. We are given a file that contains 96 lines and looks like this:
Arzin, Neil 2.3 6.0 5.0 6.7 7.8 5.6 8.9 7.6 Babbage, Charles 2.3 5.6 6.5 7.6 8.7 7.8 5.4 4.5
This file continues for 24 different people and then repeats with different scores (the second line). The first number, in this case is 2.3 for both people is a difficulty rating. The next 6 numbers are scores.
We are given this data in order to set up our structs and arrays and my code:
#include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <iomanip> #include <string> #include <cmath> using namespace std; int main () { ifstream inFile; inFile.open("C://diveData.txt);
I have been struggling with pointers. I am trying to write a program that first asks a user to input a filename. It then checks if the file exists and if it does it passes a pointer to the next function. The next function then asks the user for a specific word to look for and the function will search a text file for the word and do some other operations. My problem is that I do not understand how to use the pointer returned by my first function as an input to another function.
The following code has the first function file_check() and the second function word_search() which I think the way I am declaring it is the problem.
Code: void Class1::Func(shared_ptr<type1> parameter) { } or void Class1::Func(const shared_ptr<type1>& parameter) { } or Should I ever pass arguments/parameters to other objects using shared_ptr's or raw pointers?
I can't seem to remember everything I should about constructors. I'm looking for a way to create an array of structs, using a constructor. My code should explain.
struct myStruct { private: int structInt1, structInt2;
I have a structure product_array *pa that contains a pointer *arr to an array of structs and count that adds 1 when a new product is added (set to NULL initially). I have to write a function which adds a new product entry to that array. One product entry has *title, *code, stock and price parameters. The array is dynamically allocated and I’m supposed to:
1. Reallocate space for array. 2. Update product_array. 3. Initialize it.
Also, code should be truncated to 7 characters.Products can be added multiple times, so the initial size is unknown.
Code:
void add_product(struct product_array *pa, const char *title, const char *code, int stock, double price) { for (int i = 0 ;; i++){ pa->arr = realloc(pa->arr, sizeof(struct product_array));
