C/C++ :: Comparing Strings With Pointers
May 29, 2014
I have wrote the code below that compares to strings and sees if they are equals doesn't matter the order of the words . In the question we where asked not to use any library functions like the string functions in <string.h> and we have to do that all with pointers . I debugged my code and for some reason the first loop in the function keeps looping ...
#include<stdio.h>
int IsEqual(char* str1,char* str2);
#define SIZE 20
void main() {
char str1[SIZE]="my name is monaya",str2[SIZE]="name monaya is my";
if (IsEqual(str1,str2))
[Code] ......

I am a little confused while comparing char pointers to integer pointers. Here is the problem:
Consider the following statement;
char *ptr = "Hello";
char cArr[] = "Hello";
When I do cout << ptr; it prints Hello, same is the case with the statement
cout << cArr;
As ptr and cArr are pointers, they should print addresses rather than contents, but if I have an interger array i.e.
int iArr[] = {1, 2, 3};
If I cout << iArr; it displays the expected result(i.e. prints address) but pointers to character array while outputting doesn't show the address but shows the contents, Why??

I have trouble comparing two strings with strcmp. The bold part of the code are the parts that are not working and i hope somebody can explain to me what i did wrong. Goal of the code is to compare a city name with the name of already created cities and when two of them match to creat a Street between them. Depending on the street pointer different streets can be created
my vector containing all already created cities (it seem to work)
std::vector<city*> citylist;//all cities
find city using strings and creating a road between them:
bool Map::add_street(Street *street, const string firsttown , const string secondtown) {
city* hilfs1=Map::find_city(erste);
city* hilfs2=Map::find_city( zweite);
if (hilfs1==NULL || hilfs2==NULL)
{return false ;} // Problem :both pointers are always NULL
[Code] ....
Here is also my implementation of the getname function :
std::string city::getname() {
return this->name;
}

I'm writing a code generator that produces a function from the strings to the ints. I'll be using the generated code as a "from string to enum" utility. For example:
Code: enum Color {
Red, Green, Blue, Banana
};
// The definition of colorFromString is generated somewhere.
Color colorFromString(const std::string & s);
[Code].....
The implementation of the generated code is a trie. I've seen implementations in the past (including the one at work that I'd like to replace).
Anyway, say you need to compare the region of the string
Code: const char s[] = "holiday"; from index 3 until before index 6 against the string "ida".
I can see two bits of code that my generator could produce. One is
Code: bool hasIda = std::equal(s + 3, s + 6, "ida"); and the other is
Code: bool hasIda = s[3] == 'i' && s[4] == 'd' && s[5] == 'a';
The existing code generator uses the latter method, claiming (I think) that the generated instructions are more efficient on some architectures. Is there any way to determine which is better generally, or do I have to examine the assembly produced on all target platforms?

I know there is a function for comparing string but i am making it to just improve my concepts.error : 2 is coming as answer when i put same sting in both place.
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
char str1[] = "hello" ;
char str2[]= "hello" ;
int q;
q = xstrcmp(str1,str2);
printf("%d",q);
}

I am having difficulty with class objects.
1. why my program won't actually compare the two strings.
2. why and where I am having a memory dump crash.
The following is my main.cpp, String.cpp, and the header file in that order.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#include "GREEN_String.h"
void main () {
GREEN_StringStr1;
GREEN_StringStr2 ("AdrianGreen");

I'm wondering how to access Buffer 1 and 2 via the pointer array;
Code:
char *BufPtrs[3];
char Buffer1[64];
char Buffer2[64];
BufPtrs[0] = Buffer1;
BufPtrs[1] = Buffer2;
BufPtrs[2] = NULL;
I thought that if I were to access Buffer1 via BufPtrs[0], I would simply just put an * to it before printf()-ing or store it in a char[] (equivalent to a string).

I am trying to make a pointer to pointers for strings with malloc but my code isn't right.I tried something like that.
Code:
char **p;
**p=malloc(100*sizeof(char*));
for(int j=0;j<100;j++)
*(p+j)=malloc(10*sizeof(char));
how could i allocate memory is only needed for every string(as long as it is)? Cause in my code i allocate memory for 100 strings and for 10 characters for every string.

I am trying to copy string Line BY Line from text file into array of pointers. lets say file has only two lines for example.
This is an apple.
This is another apple.
I want to copy both of these lines from file to array of pointers. Below is the code which i am trying to use for this.
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <fstream>
#include <string.h>
using namespace std;
int main() {
char const *filePath = "test.txt";

I need to calculate how often each letter appears in a text file from a function that is called from main() with an array of pointers to char and how many pointers there are in the array. The code i have so far is:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<ctype.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
[Code]....
I get no errors and it runs but it gives me the wrong output. I know my array is correct because when i print it in main() it is correct but each letter is incorrectly counted. When i give it the input .txt file of:
This is one line of a string
This is another
This is the third one
Wow heres another one
It counts a as 8
b as 1
c as 3
etc.
I have hand traced it and cant figure out why it isnt giving me correct values

I'm trying to create an array of pointers to pointers which will point to array of pointers (to strings) I tried
Code:
int i;
char *string[]={
"my name is dave",
"we like to dance together",
"sunny day",
"hello",
[code]...
the app keeps crashing , I don't know how to make the array-elements to point to another array-elements..

I am programming a translator, and I have it so that it detects words with spaces both in front of and behind them, so I did "string.append(space);" where space equals " ". That added a space to the end, but I still need a space added to the front.

I have a problem who must print the sentences who have lenght more than 20 characters. I dont know why, but it prints just the first words. Look what i made.
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main()
[Code]....
For instance :
Give the number of sentences : 3
First sentence : I like the website bytes.com
Second sentence : I like more the website bytes.com
Third sentence : bytes.com
After I compile the program it should print the first two sentences.

I'm a novice with C programming and i have to solve an error in the following code. The code works like you enter a password called "uoc" and it shows as OK. But surprisely when you entered another password as "Cambridge" it works fine too.
I think that the problem is in the array declaration but i'm checking resources and no success!
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
struct {
char str[8];
char ok;
} data;

Given this code
Code:
double x=1.00,y=2,z=4;
if (y/z||++x)
x+=y/z;
printf("%f
",x); So (y/z||++x)
is true if at least one expression is true, that is either (y/z)!=0 or (++x)!=0 or both. I wonder how the comparison is done? Is (y/z) be truncated to integer or 0 be promoted to double?

I am trying to make a game where you have a secret code that is coded with colors like ROYG (red,orange,yellow,green) and I am having trouble when it tells you when you have a right color in the right spot or a right color in the wrong spot when you guess a color. How can I change my code under the function int comparearray where it will compare pointers to pointers and not integers and give me the correct number of "almost" and "correct".
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#define ROWS 100
#define COLS 4
}

I created a function to check whether the first character of a string is a number or not by comparing it to every base 10 digit using a for loop. If it is, the string is valid, if it is not, the string is not valid
Code:
//ensure the first character is not a number
int ValidFirstChar(char FirstChar) {
int IsChar = TRUE, DigitCount = 0; /*boolean value indicating whether the first character is a number or not.*/
//check through all base 10 digits
for (DigitCount = 0; DigitCount <= 9; DigitCount++) {
if ((int)FirstChar == DigitCount)
[Code] ....
I have checked for the case where the first character is a number but it is displaying the error message for it. I have tried typecasting the char variable but that has not worked.

my problem is naming the function larger() with "int". At least that is what my compiler is leading me to believe.

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;

Basically i want to keep looping until i enter an a or A (also does this apply to if statements as well?)

i have 3 arrays total, 2 of them i am comparing to see if any of the values match at all, and then i am putting the value that matches into the 3rd array. currently i am trying
int isthere (int match[], int maxmatchLength,
const int vec1[], int vec1Length,
const int vec2[], int vec2Length)
{
for (i=0; i<vec1Length; i++)
if vec1[i]==vec2[i];
vec1[i] = match[i];
}
But this will just match the same values are in the same spot. how do i fix it so that it compares one value in the first array to the whole second array, before going to the next number.

Lets say for example I have a BST that is sorted by char names, using strcmp. IF greater than 0 go right else go left.
I.E (this is just an example, they are not inserted correctly)
cat
/
dog buffalo
/ /
fish mouse zebra snake
I wanted to make a copy of this BST IF the length of the nodes are greater than the root, how would I approach this? I kinda started on this but I'm not sure if I'm making this more difficult than it should be.
void BST::copygreater(node * root, node *& dest, int & holder) {
if(!root) {
dest = NULL;
return;
}
holder = strlen(root->name) + 1; //Don't know about this? If we do a recursive call then the value would change every call?
