C/C++ :: Avoid Using The Goto Function?

Dec 17, 2014

I've been making an RPG in C++ and I've used goto all throughout the program. After receiving an error and Googling how to fix it, I read that you shouldn't use goto. What can I use as a instead of goto, which isn't 'considered bad programming practice'?

C++ :: Stop Program From Going To Goto Label

Nov 21, 2013

My program has a goto label in it and when the program is not instructed to goto the label, it does. When control goes to the line that it is on, even if no where does it say to execute the label's content, it does execute it.

C++ :: Back Tracking And Goto Functions

Apr 27, 2012

I have a project where I have to schedule 3 doctors for 28 days. Doc A, B, and C. The rules are:

1. They can't work back to back, but only on weekends. Example Doc. A can't work Monday and Tuesday, If Doc. A works Saturday, he must work Sunday also.
2. Doc. A and B work alternate weekends.
3. Doc. C can't work Tuesday or weekends.

I'm trying to base my project off of the 8 Queens program that uses backtracking and the goto function. Right now, I'm just trying to get my program to print this

100100100
010010010
001001001

Here is my goto Code

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
void print();
#define n 28 //28 day schedule
int a[n]={};

[Code] ....

If you look at my code you will notice that it prints out like this, where array c doesn't take in account for array a.

1010101010101
0101010101010
1010101010101

I need getting the program to modify a[], b[], and c[] when necessary. I should be able to change any array element to '1' and it will automatically fill in the schedule by itself. example

010001000101001
100100101010010
001010010000100

C++ :: Goto Statement - No Output Data Table

Feb 26, 2015

Project Golfer.cpp

So when you enter the number 99 its supposed to quit the program and it wasnt so i fixed that then i noticed that if you don't hit the green its supposed to loop back to a certain point but it was going to far back so i put a goto statement in and now it wont output my data table.

C :: How To Avoid Negative Output

Jul 12, 2013

I have a c program that I partially have working. The problem is basically writing a program that allows the user to input the amount of calories they plan to eat a meal and disperse the calories from top to bottom. My program produces the output in the example if I enter 1050 but the issue I noticed if the number of calories is just enough to cover the burgers I get negatives in the other variables.

For example, if I enter a total amount of calories of 1050, I can eat: Output: 2 burgers @ 770 calories (1050 - 770 = 280 calories remain) 1 bag of pretzles @ 170 calories (280 - 170 = 110 calories remain) 1 pear @ 80 calories (110 - 80 = 30 calories remain) 6 tsp. ketchup @ 30 calories If I input 1050 I get the above output but if I input a different integer such as 2000 this is my output 5 burgers @ 1925 calories 0 bag of pretzles @ 0 calories -1 apple @ -80 calories -35 tsp. ketchup @ -175 calories I can't give the full code since this assignment holds a lot of points and was up all night getting it work.

So I'll provide pseudocode

define all 4 variables burger 385, pretzel 170, pear 80, ketchup 5 print out text How many calories can you eat prompt user input
Divide user input into burger How many burgers can bet eaten subtract calories eaten from original user input
Divide calories left into pretzel How many bags can bet eaten subtract burger calories from pretzel calories
Divide calories left after preztel into pear How many pretzels can be eatn subtract pretzels calories from pear calories
Divide calories left over into ketchup how much ketchup can i use show on screen (int total)of burgers @ (int calorie total) calories show on screen (int total)bags of pretzels @ (int calorie total) calories show on screen (int total)pears @ (int calorie total) calories show on screen (int total)teaspoons of ketchup @ (int calorie total) calories

The problem I see is that subtracting the calories from the pear from the left over calories of the pretzel calories leads to a negative. If leftover calories minus 80(pear int) its less then 0 . The calculations from the pear onward to ketchup become incorrect resulting in negative output.

C++ :: How To Avoid Redundant Code In Classes

Sep 4, 2014

ISSUE: How to avoid redundant code in c++ ?

Problem:Say I have a Base class called Car and it has 3 derived classes say Ford, Honda and Audi.

now the issue is all 3 derived classes have exactly same code but minor difference in calling member functions of their r respective engines( these engines have separate class) . example ford class calls code which is exactly same as other 2 classes but do call something like ford_engine-> start() ford_engine->clean() bla bla bla .

//ly honda calls honda_engine->start() honda_engine->clean();

//ly Audi calls audi_engine->start() audi->clean();

now here the issue is it has redundant code in all 3 places with minute difference. Hoow I can have code at one place most probably in Base class and all derive classes uses same code.

C++ :: Way / Pattern To Avoid Copying Data

Apr 19, 2013

I have a class buffer, which holds a std::string as member, and a socket_receive function:

struct buffer {
string data;
buffer() {}
buffer(buffer& b) : data(b.data) {}
};
buffer socket_receive() {
buffer tmp;
tmp.data = "1234";
return tmp;
}

so when I write

buffer b = socket_receive();

there is a copy constructor, and the tmp variable is constructed and destructed, is there anyway to improve the performance?

I tried the new c++11 move(), but seems even worse, I must be doing wrong with move(), but I don't know how.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;
struct buffer {
string data;

C/C++ :: How To Avoid Replacing Element In Array

Oct 6, 2014

I am working on a parking lot scenario project using multidimensional arrays. The parking lot has 8 rows and 10 parking spaces in each row. Altogether there are suppose to be 30 cars parking in the lot and arrive in numerical order. I am suppose to generate a random number to represent the row and another to represent the space in the row.

The problem I have is that a few of the elements are being replaced. The project requires the car to check if the space is taken, if so it is to find another one. Here is what I have...

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#define ROW 8
#define COL 10
#define CARS 30
void parkTheCars(int result[ROW][COL]);
void displayArray (int result[ROW][COL]);

Visual C++ :: How To Avoid Memory Fragments

Mar 4, 2015

I am developing a Visual C++ application. There is an object called CMyObject, as follows:

typedef CMap<UINT, UINT, void *, void*> CMyMap;
class CMyObject {
public:
CMyMap *m_pMyMap;
"Some other member variables"
}

Some instances of CMyObject contains a map, some not. Therefore, to save memory, I define a pointer m_pMyMap and create a new CMap object only if the instance contains a map.

When I test my app, with the increase of the CMyObject instance, the number of memory blocks allocated and deallocated is also increasing. There are a lot of fragments during this period. To prevent this, I try to override the new/delete operator for CMyObject and CMyMap. But still find many fragments. So I try to trace into the MFC source codes for CMap. I find CMap is just using an internal buffer to store the hash table(m_pHashTable), as follows:

m_pHashTable = new CAssoc* [nHashSize];

And for each hash entry, it uses:

P = (CPlex *)new BYTE[sizeof(CPlex) + nMax *cbElement];

To allocate the spaces.

I believe these two may be the reason of the memory fragments and want to eliminate them. However, is there a way to override the new/delete operator for codes such as:

new CAssoc* [nHashSize]
and
(CPlex *)new BYTE[sizeof(CPlex) + nMax *cbElement]

So that the spaces will be allocated from my own memory manager instead of from the default heap?

C++ :: How To Avoid Using Backspace Character With Push Back

Mar 28, 2014

How to avoid using Backspace character with push_back? I'm making a software as an ATM, so when the user try to enter the password the user only sees *******, but when trying to delete it doesn't delete a character. It just adds a new one. Here's my code:

string password2 = "";
cout << "PASSWORD: ";
ch = _getch();
while(ch != 13) //character 13 is enter {
password2.push_back(ch);
cout << '*';
ch = _getch();
}

And also, I try to use pop_back(); but it doesn't work either.

i need a function that will work for both dynamic and static implementations of a function to get the transverse of a matrix. so far, i have this

Code:

matrix transpose(matrix m)
{
int row, col;
row = m.com_dim;
col= m.row_dim;
}

this works well with my static implementation, but when i try it in dynamic it gives me errors. the function has to be the same for both dynamic and static implementation

C++ :: Keyboard Function That Is Called In Main Function To Make Shape Move

Jan 19, 2013

Ok so I am working on a game and I'm in the process of developing my Player class. Anyways, what I have is a keyboard function that is called in my main function to make a shape move.

void myKeyboardFunction(unsigned char key, int x, int y) {
switch ( key ) {

[Code].....

But when I try to call it, trying to copy my previous method,

glutKeyboardFunc(Player1.playerControls);

I get an error

error C3867: 'Player::playerControls': function call missing argument list; use '&Player::playerControls' to create a pointer to member

I get an error saying it can't convert parameters. I would just like to understand why the arguments become a problem when I make the function a member of my class, when the first method I used is so easy.

C :: Reverse Function That Inserts And Prints Binary Function Correctly

Nov 3, 2013

I have written a function that inserts and prints a binary function correctly.

For example a tree like this [URL] ..... would print like this

Code:
node: 10
node: 7
node: 6
node: 8
node: 9

[Code] ....

Here is my print function

Code:
void prt_tree(struct node *tree) {
if (tree == NULL) {
printf("Null Tree
");
return;

[Code] .....

Could I just make some adjustments to my function to reverse it? and if so, how?

C++ :: Pass 2 Arrays Into Void Function And Return Values To One Function?

Feb 12, 2014

I'm trying to pass 2 arrays into a void funtion, and return values to one function.

this is the the program I'm working with, after I'm done I have to split it into 3 files, a header, a main, and a separate cpp file for the functions to live in.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void processArrary(int numberCount[], int Numbers[], int intnumberSize, int numberCountSize);
int main() {
int Scores[26] = {76, 89, 150, 135, 200, 76, 12, 100, 150, 28, 178, 189, 167, 200, 175, 150, 87, 99, 129, 149, 176, 200, 87, 35, 157, 189};
int numberCount[8] = { 0 };

[code]...

The goal of this program is to separate and count the groups of numbers then output the amount of numbers in each group. Near as I can tell, everthing should work, but I'm getting all zeros to be displayed in each group.

The function is supposed to return value from the file in my main, but I am getting empty value. I am trying to get better with pointer. Right now just teaching myself.

right now the only way for this code to show value is when in put the putchar(*ps) inside my readfile function. I would like to readfile to return value and print in the main function.

C++ :: Using Template Function Inside Class In Separate Function?

Mar 26, 2014

i want to use a class to print data stored as vector or array with different data types. i also want the print function two take more than one vector or array or combination of both so that they can be written to file as two columns. so i wrote the following class:

right now it has only one member function for printing two vectors. later i'll add additional functions as required.

note: there has to be template functions inside the class
i also want the object to be global so that i need not pass it as an argument to other calling functions

class printdata
{
public:
template<typename T1,typename T2>
void SaveData( vector<T1> &data1,vector<T2> &data2, std::string var)
{

[Code]....

then i want to call this template function in another ordinary function written in a seperate cpp file

these function declarations are put in a header file. so i need know whether i should put the declaration of the template function in the header to use the function in different functions

I want to do function what registers forward what will get callback if the time is right. Basically then i dont need to edit and add extra functions into source files. I just have to include header and use register forward function. If there is anything close to this it would be perfect!
