C/C++ :: Reading From File To Construct A Pointer Based Maze?
Nov 29, 2014
I'm trying to read a "pointer-based" maze .txt. The first letter in each row corresponds to the room letter...then the letters that follow are North node, East node, South node, and West node respectively. The asterisk indicates an empty room or not a valid option.
Here is what I have come up with, what is happening is after the file is parsed by read_maze it is calling my is_empty function indicating that there is no maze because it doesn't go into the else statement here.
I've attached a sample input file:
maze.txt (130bytes)
Number of downloads: 19
We can't assume the rooms will be in order alphabetically A - Z, We are expecting a maximum of 12 rooms and there is a space between each letter or asterisk.
void Maze::read_maze(string FileName){
string line;
ifstream inStream;
inStream.open(FileName.c_str());
int test = inStream.peek();
int i = 0;
if (!(inStream.fail())){
while (!inStream.eof() && test != EOF){

I have two classes, productListType and buyerListType, that are each basically linked lists. To create the linked list for an object of productListType, I successfully wrote a non-class function createProductList to read the product data from a text file. The class definition for buyerListType has a data member productBoughtRecord that is of type productListType to aggregate the details of the products purchased by a particular buyer during transactions. I decided to make productBoughtRecord a pointer since the contents of this data member would wax and wane over the course of several transactions, depending on the amount and frequency of payments made by the buyer. I have provided a rough sketch of the class below:
class buyerListType
{
public:
setCustomerInfo( ....., productListType* p);
.
.
.
private:
productListType* productBoughtRecord;
.
.
};
I'm similarly trying to write a non-class function createBuyerList to load the record of customers from a text file. How do I determine what the value of the formal parameter p in member function setCustomerInfo is, in order to be able to set the data member productBoughtRecord? take into consideration that an object of class buyerListType would have multiple buyers with varying amounts of products purchased.

I can't get my code to compile, i need to read in lines from a file and store them in variables. Then i have to construct instances of my class for how many lines there are in the file and take those variables into them.
I'm getting this error :
"a2.cpp:40: error: cannot convert `Employee' to `Employee*' in assignment"
#include<iostream>

Ok I'm trying to create matrix of data that I can add values to based on a reading that I will get from a DVM. I'm using a 3d vector to do this. I need to keep track of the serial number, the day and within day I need to take two readings at different temps, this will continue for 7 days.
The rows of my 3d vector will be the days, the colums will be the serial numbers the depth will be the reading at the different temps.
What I need to do is compare the first element (days) and when it is greater then or equal to 4 I will perform calculations of the readings. So all I want to do is compare the first element of the vector, How do I do this?
Here is what I got
Code:
#include <vector>
typedef std::vector<double> Double1D;
typedef std::vector<Double1D> Double2D;
typedef std::vector<Double2D> Double3D;
#define HEIGHT 5
#define WIDTH 3

I have a class called Book and I am trying to create a dynamic pointer based array of the class. When I try to run the program I keep getting the error: pointer being freed was not allocated at the line of code that says "delete [] A;". I am using Xcode to run the program.
Book *changeArraySize(Book *A, int &size, double factor) {
int i;
int newsize = size*factor;
Book *A2 = new Book[newsize];

I have a piece of code that sorts data based on some metric. The some metric is something I now want to make flexible so I can easily switch between and compare metrics. To do this, I want to pass the function to use as a parameter to the method that does the sorting (and other stuff). However, I'm having problems figuring out the syntax. Also, I think my [temporary] organization of code is violating a lot of basic code design principles.
To make the function pointer passable, I defined the "typename" in the header where the function is located (it is part of a struct, "Data"):
// Below the struct definition of Data
typedef double (Data::*CostF)(unsigned l, double W) const;
The two example functions I want to use are defined in that struct ("Data"):
// Inside the struct definition
inline double someExampleCost(unsigned l, double W) const {
// Returns some basic calculation
}
The function that uses it is part of a different class (that holds a reference to the first class, in case that matters; I feel like I'm doing something odd here, because I'm binding a member function in the definition/passing, but never referencing the object). It looks like this:
// Inside another class ("Foo")
inline void DoSomeStuff(double& ECost, double& TCost, CostF cost) {
// Irrelevant stuff here
std::sort(vector.begin(), vector.end(), [&](unsigned a, unsigned b){
return (*cost)(a, W) < (*cost)(b, W);
});
// More irrelevant stuff here
}
The error shown is "operand of "*" must be a pointer". If I remove the '*':
[code]return cost(A, W) < cost(b, W);
the error becomes: "expression must have a (pointer-to-)function type."
The call to this function is, currently, just in the main function, as I'm just testing before I wrap it into real code. It looks like this:
// In main
Foo bar; // Make an object of the struct that has the "sorting" function
CostF costFunction = &Data::someExampleCost;
// Bind to the Cost function bar.DoSomeStuff(varA, varB, costFunction);
This bit shows no errors by itself. So, my questions:
a) Clearly I'm missing the insight into Function Pointers. I'm comfortable with regular pointer stuff, but I can't wrap my head around FPs, partly due to the awkward syntax.
b) I'm very uncomfortable with the fact that I'm binding a member function of a class, but never try to reference an actual object of that class. This is probably a big part of why it's not working, but I can't seem to bind a function belonging to a specific object. I thought of doing
// In the main again
Data d; // Construct the object, which contains big lookup tables
Foo F(d); // Construct the object, which only holds a reference to a Data object
CostF costFunction = &d.someExampleCost; // Bind to the Cost function of that object
but that doesn't work ("a pointer to a bound function may only be used to call the function").

I have a double pointer, and I need to read words into it. Here's what I have so far:
Code:
while(fscanf(keywordFile,"%s",keyinputter)==1){
keys_cnt++;
}
keywords = (char**)calloc(keys_cnt,sizeof(char));
[Code]....
keyinputter is an array of size 30. The first while loop finds the number of words in a file so that I can calloc the correct amount of space for the double pointer, keywords. The second while loop is supposed to read the words into the double pointer, but when I run a print statement to print the string at keywords[0], it only prints null and not the word. Am I assigning the strings to the double pointer in the wrong way?

I have a program where I will read in a certain .txt file, such as "financial_data.txt" and I will be doing some sorting with this data.
I want my program to write out the sorted data to an output file and I want the name of the output file to be based off of the input name. For example, since my input file is "financial_data.txt", I want the output file name to be "financial_data_out.txt".
I am having a hard time finding examples online and in my reference manuals...

So I have a program where I solve a maze using stacks. So my display_maze function take two parameters and displays the maze according to where the x coordinate and y coordinate are.
I have an error during my move function, as my maze doesn't display for some reason
void Player::player_move() {
Stack stack;
Maze maze;
Lock taken;
// Monster monster;
stack.push_values();
[Code] ....
It should be displaying, because after debugging I discovered the problem isn't with the display_maze function.

I'm working on a homework problem where we are given a class of functions to traverse a maze and must use those functions to recursively find the end.
The problem I'm having is when the function backtracks it doesn't reset the whole path it came from.
Here is my function that I have created
void solveMaze(Maze M, int path[][MAX])
{
// << overwritten to print the maze out
cout<<M;

What c++ code can be used to make an 'X' move through a maze. I have some code, but I'm not sure where to go from there. I have divided the program into three files, A header file, a main file and a .cpp implementation file.
In my implementation file I have:
#include "Maze.h"
Maze::Maze() {
} void Maze::mazeTraversal(char maze[][COLS], int row, int col, int direction) {
enum Direction {DOWN, RIGHT, UP, LEFT};
switch(option)

Area of the room. Your task is to write a program that will find the area of room in a given square maze.
Note. Use recursion for solving this problem.
Input:
First line contains only one number N (3 <= N <= 10).The number that describes the size of the square maze.
On the next N lines maze itself is inputed ('.' - empty cell,'*' - wall).
And the last line contains two numbers - the row and column of the cell in the room those area you need to find.It is guaranteed that given cell is empty and that the maze is surrounded by walls on all sides.
Output:
Output only one number - total amount of empty cells in the selected room.

This program is to solve a word maze and find the number of words in the maze from a dictionary file.
The program runs, but stops by finding 1,2 and 3 letter words.
#include<iostream>
#include<vector>
#include<fstream>
#include<algorithm>
#include<string>
using namespace std;
int main() {
vector <string> dict,forward,reverse;
[Code] .....
I also tried to find words using the entire vector as a container, the synopsis code that also did not work is below
while(j<dict.size()) {
if(dict[j].size()>2) {
if (std::find(forward.begin(), forward.end(), dict[j]) != forward.end()) {
cout<<"found word "<<dict[j]<<endl;

I'm working on a maze solving program. So far I got the program to solve a maze using the recursive backtracking algorithm. I represent the maze as vector<vector<Square>> where Square is an enum that contains the kind of square (empty, wall, etc.). I use a class Point that contains 2 ints which are used for subscripting the vector of vectors. I have a Point begin and Point end. Now I want the program to solve the maze using the shortest path. I can either use the A* algorithm, Dijkstra's algorithm, or the breadth first search algorithm.

Code:
if (IS_LEAP_YEAR(year))
const int days_per_month[] = {0, 31, 29, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31};
else
const int days_per_month[] = {0, 31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31}; Is it ok to declare the array in this manner or is it bad?
And i have to ask the user for a date to enter in my program. So should I use scanf or should I store the date in a string and then use sscanf. I have to check for valid input for everything like day, month, year etc. I did it as below..
Code:
int assignments;
assignments = scanf("%d / %d / %d", &month, &day, &year);
fflush(stdin);
if (assignments != 3)
{
printf("Retry: ");
}
else
error checking.

This code i made divided a user input into characters and non character. The problem im having is that if a mixed sentence is created, such as 32B, it will only print the 'char string' and not the 'non char string'. But when the sentence is just non characters like 32 it will print the 'non-char string'. So essentially if a mixed sentences is created both of the strings won't be created or printed.(This is only a function by the way).
Code:
Count_chars( char Input[]) {
int i;
for(i = 0; Input[i]; i++) {
if((Input[i] <= 122) &&(Input[i] >= 97)){
printf("Char %c ",Input[i]);
Char[i] = Input[i];

I've a problem with the map construct. I wrote this class in which there are maps:
class Features {
private:
map<const string,GenericFeatureContainer*> featuremap;
map<const string,GenericFeatureContainer*>::iterator it;
int size;
public:
}
And I have the following constructor:
Features::Features() {
map<NULL,NULL> featuremap;
it=NULL;
size=0;
}
Is that correct? otherwise what is the correct syntax?

My maze algorithm must be able to count total steps. He is not allowed to "jump" from a deadend back to the cross-way he originally came from.
Code:
int R2D2Turbo::findIt(Labyrinth* incLab, int x, int y){
if ((x == incLab->getExit().x) && (y == incLab->getExit().y))
{
return 1;
[Code] .....
Due to the nature of recursive algoirthms, he jumps instead of moving the way back from the deadend one by one... The only solutions I could think of are way overloaded...

I am trying to fscanf a file and need to read the variable name 'f9' and 'a2' for example in the sample below and get their corresponding values '8' and '2' and then in my C program set the variables f9 and a2 accordingly (which I can declare as variables). Is this possible?
I making a Sudoku Solver and am thinking I would store the puzzle solution in a 2D array with a1=0, a2=1, etc... where 0, 1 are the array indices... then just print the array as the solution.
Note: The a1, a2, a3, etc... is my own numbering of the indices where the letter corresponds to the row and the number corresponds to the column (starting from 1) which I use when feeding to the solver.
I have a file that has the following format (output of Z3 SMT solver):
sat
(model
(define-fun f9 () Int
8)
(define-fun a2 () Int
2)
(define-fun c5 () Int
6)
)

I am writing code, which reads an input file (280 MB) containing a list of words. I would like to compute
1) total # of words
2) total # of unique/distinct words
3) mean/median/mode of word count (Link)
I managed to get done with 1) and 2), but my program crashes for 3). I am not quite sure whether there are memory issues or some bug in the code.
