C/C++ :: Comparing Element Values In Dynamic Parallel Arrays
Oct 30, 2014
I've been working on an assignment that deals with newspaper advertisements. I have two arrays:
categoryCode (the code for the advertisement's category such as pets, cars, etc) and
numWords (number of words in the ad).
The arrays are dynamic.
My assignment has the category listed each time there is an ad associated with it and then its number of words for that ad. If this were a real-world issue I would want my output to list each category only once despite how many ads were in it, list how many individual ads are in the category, and its total number of words for the ads in that category. When using parallel arrays, is there a way to do this?
Let's say I have categoryCode with three elements {5, 5, 7} and numWords {10, 12, 15}.
How would I make the numWords add together only when the categoryCode values are the same?
I would want the output to print:
Category 5 Ads 2 Words 22
Category 7 Ads 1 Words 15
rather than how my instructor is having us do it like this:
Category 5 Words 10
Category 5 Words 12
Category 7 Words 15
I think I'm getting hung up because my mind is confusing the element's location in the array with the element's actual value and I'm probably making this harder than it should be. How would I compare the categoryCode values in a dynamic array? If it were a fixed size I think I could just compare categoryCode[0] to categoryCode[1] and so on, right? But in this case I'm not sure how I would go about that.

I am trying to learn about parallel arrays and files. I believe that I wrote a program that properly writes the data of the arrays into a file, but I am not quite sure how to take the next step and make a second program by bringing in the file I created and reading the information of the file back into two arrays to display them.
Code:
#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>
#include<string>
usingnamespace std;

#include <stdio.h> /* fopen, fclose */
#include <stdlib.h> /* exit function */
#include <string.h> /* string library */
#define STRSIZENAME1 41 /* length of name */
#define STRSIZENAME2 100 /* amount of names */
#define STRSIZEAGE 100 /* amount of ages */
/* Name: main */
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
[Xode] ....
This is the code I have so far. The goal of the assignment is to sort two parallel arrays, one with names and another with their ages, at the same time to alphabetize them. I am stuck with trying to pull the data from the file itself and concatinating it. I have searched ways to do so and this is the best I understood. So the error is it will get me the first person's name, but it won't get the age and move to the next line in the file. It just keeps repeating the same thing and I can't figure out why.
I attached the sample file with names and ages to view the format of the text file itself.
PS the other defined variables are used later for sorting the data. right now I am just trying to get the data itself and put it in an array but between my book and the internet I can't seem to store the data properly. That is also why I am printing it in the while loop as well so I can see what my arrays look like but I will take that out too once I know the data is good

I have trouble reading data from a text file to parallel arrays. the text file (album.txt) has this format:
Code:
(song1 title)
(song1 artist)
(time1)
(song2 title)
(song2 artist)
(time2)
.
.
etc
I want to store these data into three arrays:
title [], artist[], time[] this is what I have so far:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#define SIZE 9999
int main ()
{
FILE *tFile;
char title[SIZE];
[Code]...
the problem is that each array reads the whole text? I want to store artists name in char artist[] .. titles in char title[] and so on

i'm facing some problems with the array, as I have my .h and .cpp files so do i declare them as per norm of how we usually declare a function?
pointtwod.h
class PointTwoD {
private:
int xcord,ycord;
float civIndex;
LocationData locationdata;
[Code] ....
when i compile the error message i get was even when i i put in int xord[]; in my PointTwoD.h file:
PointTwoDImp.cpp:99:6: error: prototype for 'void PointTwoD::storedata(int*,int*,float*) does not match any in class 'PointTwoD'
PointTwoD.h:48:8: error: candidate is: void PointTwoD::storedata(int, int, float)
PointTwoDImp.cpp: 135:22: error: 'xord' was not declared in this scope
PointTwoDImp.cpp: 135:27: expected primary-expression before ']' token

I am attempting to reconfigure a working code that before used while loops and if statements to convert a numeric score to a letter grade. I now wish to take this same code however I want to change the char convertGrade(int numScore) to simply use a parallel array as a replacement to the if statements.
The array needs to consist of 3 arrays of fixed size 5:
int minScores[SIZE]
int maxScores[SIZE]
char letterGrade[SIZE]
I know the declarations need to go in the function convertGrade but this is the first time I have worked with arrays and I am having trouble trying to figure out how this array will replace my previous if statement.
In order to access the array elements I need to write specifications such as
minScores[i]
maxScores[i]
letterGrade[i]
(where i = 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4)
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define SIZE 5
int getScore(void);
char convertGrade(int numScore);

So the point in this code is to promt the user to enter a product ID. It then should search the ids array and display the corresponding price and quantity from the prices and quantities arrays. I'm sure this is quite simple but I am new to programming and having trouble understanding arrays. All it is doing is giving me the first subscript when I input a -1.
//Advanced34.cpp - displays the price and quantity
//associated with a product ID
//Created by Scott Knight on April 12, 2014
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
//declare arrays and variables
int ids[5] = {10, 14, 34, 45, 78};

I am having a problem with my program to calculate the GPA of a student. The problem that I am having is that I am not able to get my Total Point Value to display the sum of the two arrays. The multiplication for the array is correct and will display correctly, but instead of putting the total into the accumulator it will display the totals in a column. I have tried moving the coding for the calculation out of the loop that converts the letter grade into a point value,and placing it in it's own loop, but I still get the same display output. Below is the code that I have so far. I still have a few elements to add to the code, but they will be easy once I get this display to work right.
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
// Global const
// prototype
int main () {
// Varialbes, Arrays

Class programming project where we declare two arrays, a sting array containing the names of the boroughs and an int array which which holds accident number for each borough. The main function calls getNumAccidents() function to fill the array. it then calls findLowest() to learn which borough had the fewest accidents. It should print out the accident numbers for each borough and then out the borough and accident number with the fewest accidents.
I'm able to get the program to kind of work. When I run it everything works fine but I am not able to get the arrays to sort and match up correctly..
#include<iostream>
#include<iomanip>
#include<string>
#include<cstring>
using namespace std;
class combineSort {
public:
combineSort() {

I have a .txt file that I need to input into two parallel arrays. The first array needs to be on dimension and the second needs to be two dimensions.
This is a sample from the .txt file:

Greece30.326.925.013.1
Hungary032.521.818.6
Iceland068.271.666.0
this is what I have for code so far:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
const int SIZE = 40;
const int COLUMN = 5;
void getData(ifstream& inf, string n[], double tstData[][COLUMN], int count);
[Code] .....
when I compile and run the code and have it display it does not read the first item into the 1-d array, instead it appears to read the 4th number from the left into the 1-d array and then into the second spot in the 2-d array, then again in its proper place and finally it has this number repeating through the rest of the arrays:
-92559631349317830000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.00 followed by the number 59.7 from the .txt and the long number again.

I'm writing a program in which I have to use a matrix to represent a file in code. because it's a file, the size of the matrix is undefined, and therefore the matrix has to be dynamic. I found out that my compiler doesn't like dynamic multidimensional arrays, so I was thinking of this matrix as a dynamic (monodimensional) array of other dynamic (monodimensional) arrays. My program (and thus this example) uses unsigned chars.
unsigned char variable=something;
unsigned char**matrix=new unsigned char*[lenghtOfMainArray];
for(int rowNumber=0;rowNumber<lenghtOfArray;rowNumber++)

In pseudocode and in C code, declare two 1-dimensional parallel arrays of Integers to store the age and weight of a group of people that will hold the information of up to 10 people. Use a For loop to iterate through the array and input the values. This is the code i have, but my array is showing up as 11 and not 10?
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {

If I have 2 arrays, say array1 = {2, 2, 4, 5, 6} which has sorted array elements and array2 = {4, 2, 6, 2, 5} that has same elements as array1 but not in sorted condition. How can I compare that both arrays have same elements. I have written the following code which works in all conditions except when array1 has two same elements and array2 has all different elements.
counter=0;
for (i=0; i<5; i++) {
for (int j=0; j<5; j++)
if (array2[i] == array1[j]) {
counter++;
array1[j]=0;

int result = 1;
for (int j=0;j<N;j++) {
bool found = false;
for (int i=0;i<N && !found;i++) {
if (a[j] == b[i]) found = true;
}
if (!found) return 0;
}
I need to create a code that compares two in arrays without sorting them. They have to be the same length and contain the same elements in any order.
every integer in a[] is also in b[]
every integer in b[] is also in a[]
all such common values appear exactly the same number of times in both a[] and b[]
EX: a = {1, 2, 3}, b = {2, 3, 4} return 0 a = {1, 2, 3}; b = {2, 3, 1} return 1 a = {1, 2, 2}; b = {2, 2, 1} return 1 a = {1, 2, 2}; b = {2, 1, 1} return 0 a = {1, 1, 2, 2, 2}; b = {2, 1, 2, 1, 2} return 1

I want to compare alphabetically two arrays. I try this:
char a[10] = "AABC";
char b[10] = "ZABC";
if(a > b) cout << a;
else cout << b;
But it always outputs a. How can I compare char arrays?

I'm looking to take in an array of less than 50 strings, and I want to find all of the unique words in that array (omitting the words that are repeated) and then outputting the unique words and unique word count. My code compiles, but my unique array is couting all of the words contained in the original array regardless of uniqueness.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
using namespace std;
int main() {
cout << "Please type in some words." << endl;
cout << "Type END and return when you are finished." << endl;
[code].....
This is what I get back.
You typed the following 14 words: red, green, blue, red, red, blue, green, blue, orange, red, reg, apple, banana, banana, END,
You typed the following 0 unique words: red, green, blue, red, red, blue, green, blue, orange, red, reg, apple, banana, banana, END
I'm not worried about the unique count yet, I just want to get the unique array containing the correct strings.

So, I have the beginnings of a rock paper scissors game which i have created before in Java, and i am attempting to create it in c++.
Problem is, the function "int checkConvertInput" containing a loop to make sure input is valid, is not exiting the loop. As far as i can see the two strings are not comparing. Is there a library function for this? I know C had strcmp but i am not sure if it applies here.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
int checkConvertInput(int playerSign, string signs[]);

I have a method that traverses a list to compare a number from the list to user input from elsewhere in the program. I have tried a few different things and I am probably overlooking something simple but my problem is my if statement is executing the else statement every run no matter if the input matches. This function is to return the location in the list that the num matches. -1 if no match, 0, 1, 2, otherwise depending on the number of nodes.
int NumberList::find(int num)
{
int temp = 0, count = 0;
ListNode *nodePtr;

Using a for loop, construct two 100 element arrays, x and y, such that element i of x stores the value sin(2*pi*i/100)) and the corresponding element of y stores cos((2*pi*i/100)). Print the values stored in the elements of x and y as you calculate them.
I have attempted to solve it but I'm not sure why the value 0 is only being printed, maybe I haven't assigned sin(2i/100)) and cos((2i/100)) to the arrays properly?
