C/C++ :: Using Pointers For Character Array In For Loop
Nov 3, 2014
I'm taking an intro to programming course and my assignment is to Write a very simple program that uses two for loops and ONLY pointers and pointer arithmetic (NO other variables are allowed) to display a palindrome forward then backward. Declare the palindrome as follows: char str[] = “Straw Warts”; Well my prof never did anything with char arrays and I can't quite fit make the pointers work in the loop. This is my code. It runs how it should, i just can't seem to make a working for loop. It always says that you can compare int and char
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{

I am able to work with n instances of a structure in one mallocated area, but when I try to do the same thing with just character pointers, I get compiler errors about making integer from pointer without a cast. If I create a structure with just a character pointer in it, it works just fine... I am just not seeing something here!!!
This works:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main (void) {
struct items {
unsigned int item_1;
unsigned int item_2;
[Code]...
This DOES NOT work!
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main (void) {
char * items_ptr = NULL;
unsignedint i = 0;
char * one = "one";
char * two = "two";
[Code]...

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..

it will produce the answer above..when user enter a nonnumerical character it will force the user to reenter again
do {
cout<<"Min of the secret number : ";
cin>>min;
}while(cin>>min);
cout<<"Max of the secret number : ";
cin>>max;
this is my coding but it will auto jump out when i enter non-numeric character

I'm familiar with the concept of int in the for loop. However, I've seen a case where the condition for the for loop is a pointer. How is the pointer used or interpreted in the for loop condition in C or C++.
As an example:
Code:
void printer(char *fmt, ...) {
va_list args;
char *p, *sval;
int ival;
double dval;
va_start(args, fmt);
for(p = fmt; *p; p++) {
if(*p != '%') {
putchar(*p);
continue;

Set an Array (a[10]) and a Pointer to that array (*pa) and code a loop (for( ; ; loop) that will advance that pointer (*pa) and will set a new content into it with each loop. that means that in the end of the day, my program will automatically set content to each cell of the array by promoting the pointer by 1 and add the sum to that pointer.
When I run the program it prints the address of the cells instead the value of it.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
void main() {
float a[11], *pa; // Array and ptr set.
int i; // counter for the loop.
pa = a;
for (i=0 ; i<=10 ; i++) // the loop itself.

The function uses a "for" loop to print the given character the number of times specified by the integer.
How can I make a for loop to do that?
So.. my code looks like this:
// cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application
//
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void printMyInteger(int myInteger, char myChar) {
[Code] ....
So.. here is my error:
Error1error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before ')'d:workspaceuniversity ools for games and animationworkshopsweek 6week 6week 6week 6.cpp101Week 6

I wanted to display the correct output by using a for loop at the end of my code, but for some reason it's not working correctly.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int* ipArray[3];
for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
ipArray[i] = new int [5];
[Code] .....
What I wanted to do is pretty much match my 1st out put like 0 1 2 3 4 but my 2nd output only outputs 24's and I don't know why

The program should store a character array in reverse order then display the reversed array. I have also included in the code that will display the actual characters into the array as it loops through. So I know the characters are being stored, but why doesn't it display the entire string when I call it?
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
char str[50];
char rev[50];
printf("Enter Desired Text: ");
scanf ("%[^
[Code] ....
Is it just my compiler?

I am currently having an issue with validating user input for a state abbreviation. I have an array where a list of abbreviations is stored to use as a comparison for whatever the user inputs. I have been able to get the list loaded properly but whenever i go to compare, it always comes back as true even if it isn't. Here is some relevant code:
static char stateTable[STATE_TABLE_SIZE][STATE_SIZE];
int main() {
char buffer[40], *testCustName[40], testState[5], testCode;
buffer[0] = ' ';
int quit = 0;
int p = 0;

I'm trying extremely hard to understand pointers and I have the basic concept down.. I feel as though my knowledge of dynamically allocated pointers and pointers in general is not enough to understand the logic behind what I'm trying to do. The problem is that the donations array must be able to accept any number of donations. I've made it do just that, but there is also an array of pointers which must each point to the same element in the donations array. The program works if I assign int *arrPtr[100] for example, but it does not work if I try to dynamically allocate it to accept the same number of elements for donations entered by the user. Here it's the snippet
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
//Function Prototypes

I am trying to initialize an array of pointers to an array of characters, I can do it in 3 lines but I really want to do it in one line at the same time keeping the #define.
3 lines initialization (can compile)
======================
#define A 1
#define B 2
char row1[] = {A|B, B, A};
char row2[] = {B, A};
char *test[]= {row1, row2};
1 line initialization (failed)
===============================
char *test[] = { {A|B, B, A}, {B, A} }; // <- how do i do this??
I do not want this because it waste ROM space
=============================================
char test[][3] = { {A|B, B, A}, {B, A} };

this function subtracts a given value for each element in an array. I If the array is: hellohowareyou, and the value is 6 then result will be : 6 characters from each letter in the initial array
and the prototype of it is:
void minusFromArray(char arr[], int size, int value);
how do i convert each element in the array into ascii and subtract the values from those ascii characters?

I am trying to clear the first character of my array. The first two methods don't seem to work. The third method seems to but doesn't look like a good idea.
char operand[] = "abc";
//both methods seem to null it out
operand[0] = 0;
memset(operand, 0, 1);
printf("%s", operand);
//seems to work
memset(operand, 5, 1);

I am creating a program and am having trouble with one part. The input file looks like:
Code:
2
3
Bill Jeff Steve
Linda Brittany Jessica
3 1 4
2 1 9
8 3 7
6 4 9
4 8 9
6 9 4
Where I am stuck is putting the numbers into the string array. For example, Bill's scores should be set up as Bill's scores should be set as
Code: bill_score = {3, 1, 4}
and when this code is ran
Code:
for (i=0; i<3; i++) {
printf("%s - ", men[i]);

I am still working on my project which will be reading some old data from some old DOS files. The data stored there is naturally, char*. Once I read in my character array, how do I assign this to a wstring since my application is UNICODE?
Here is my current solution:
wchar_t* Class::Function(char *pName) {
//I verify the pointer and such first, then do the below
this->_Name.assign(pName, (pName + strlen(pName));
return this->_Name.c_str();
}
Am I on the right track here?

I have to write a function Subtracts val from each character in the array
// If the array is: abcdefghi and value = 5, then result is: 5 ascii characters subtracted from the given array
// note: Make sure the character remains in the ' '
// to '~' (inclusive)
// If character < ' ', then add 95
// If character > 126, then subtract 95
// to put back within the range, and repeat as needed
// all printable characters are between this range
// ' ' is the 1st printable character (32)
// '~' is the last printable character (126)
note: subtracting values from the char will cause an overflow.
the prototype is: void subtracting(char array[], int size, int value)
