C++ :: Casting A Logical Boolean As Int?

Jun 8, 2013

Let's say I have a product that needs service after 500 hours at 100 RPM. I can dsiplay the remaining hours only as an integer and we only have integer math. Management wants it to display 500 for the first hour, not 499 after the first minute is ticked off. But after a few minutes fullHours will be 499 and partialHours will have some value. I have 3 ways to determine displayHours to suit management and I want to know if the first is ligit.

short fullHours = 500;
short partialHours = 0;
short displayedHours = 0;

// Method 1 - Is is Kosher to cast a boolean as an int? Is TRUE always a 1 or is that a bad assumption?

displayedHours = fullHours + (short) (partialHours != 0);

//Method 2 - Works but some have disdain for the ternary conditional

displayHours = fullHours + (partialHours ? 1 : 0);

//Method 3 - seems a bit pedantic

displayHours = fullHours;
if (partialHours != 0) {
displayHours++;
}

C++ :: Evaluating Logical Boolean Expressions

Jan 10, 2013

I am looking for a library to aid me in evaluating Boolean expressions. For example, i have an expression like this:

(1*(5+3)+9*65/5-(354*4565*5643+98) >= 12345) && ( 654*987+123 || (2345 > 23423 && 1 != 2)))

(It can also be much longer!) and would like to evaluate them to a true/false boolean.

There are tons of libraries to calculate the (numerical) result of a mathematical expression, but this is not what i want to do.

C :: Seg Fault Using Logical OR On For Loop

Mar 9, 2013

I've received a segmentation fault in this part of code:

Code:
for (; str[i] != '' || str[i] != ' '; i++) {
result[result_pos] = str[i];
result_pos++;
}

which, should mean:

Code: If str[i] is not equal to NULL character nor ' '; then, keep printing the chars within the word to variable result.

To understand what the function does, here's the whole code:

static char result[999];
/* char *split_word(const char *str, long n);
* Splits a string word-by-word. Where N is the word number. */
char *split_word(const char *str, long n) {

[Code]....

I'm trying to accomplish an easier way round to split string by word than using "strtok_r()". It might sound like "re-inventing the wheel", but... i will try to make it neat later.

The code looks okay, why would it segfault?

C++ :: Next Permutation Logical Error

May 11, 2013

I wrote this code to solve a problem in which the user inputs a permutation of size 'N' and the next permutation of the same elements has to be generated.

I went about this in this way: given 3 2 5 4 1, starting from the right, the first no. has to be searched which has a no. greater to it on its right. Here it is 2. Now an array is generated containing all no.s on its right and greater than it. For 2, it is: 5,4. Out of these the smallest member is searched for and switched with 2. So, 4 is switched with 2 to get the Next Permutation: 3 4 5 2 1.

The code I wrote does not show any error but does not return the correct value when run and gives the same value instead. If I enter '3 2 5 4 1' it returns the same value as the answer.

#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main() {
clrscr();
int N,M,i,n,c,swap,flag,count,small,m;
int Array[100],Key[100];

C/C++ :: Multiply 2 Variables That Go From 0 To 7 - Logical Operators?

Apr 9, 2015

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
int polje[8][8];{
for(int i=0;i<8;i++)
for(int j=0;j<8;j++) {

[Code] .....

I don't get any errors,the program works. The problem is that it doesnt work how it should. This is a simple program that multiplies 2 variables(i and j)that go from 0 to 7. The problem I have is with the logical operators,i want the program to skip multiplication with 0 and when the 2 variables are the same value. When i try using only 1 logical operator it work.

C++ :: Logical Error In Output Of DAYNAME

Oct 31, 2014

I have to write a program that does the following: Monkey Business A local zoo wants to keep track of how many pounds of food each of its three monkeys eats each day during a typical week. Write a program that stores this information in a two-dimensional 3 - 7 array , where each row represents a different monkey and each column represents a different day of the week. The monkeys are represented by integers 1, 2, and 3; the weekdays are "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday". The program should first prompt the user to input the data for each monkey, starting with "Sunday" for monkey #1, then monkeys #2 and #3, followed by "Monday" for monkey #1, then monkeys #2 and #3 and so on, through "Saturday". The program then creates a report that includes the following information, each properly labeled (see below):

-Average amount of food eaten per day by the whole family of monkeys.
-The least amount of food eaten during the week by any one monkey.
-The greatest amount of food eaten during the week by any one monkey.

Input Validation: Do not accept negative numbers for pounds of food eaten. When a negative value is entered, the program outputs "invalid (negative) food quantity -- re-enter" and attempts to reread the value . Prompts And Output Labels: Decimal values should be displayed using default precision, i.e. do not specify precision. Each item read should be prompted for by a string of the form "Enter the food eaten by monkey #N on DAY:" when N is 1 or 2 or 3 and DAY is "Sunday" or "Monday" or ... or "Saturday".

The output should be of the form:

Average food consumed daily: 6.23
The least daily food consumed was by Monkey #0 on Friday
The most daily food consumed was by Monkey #2 on Sunday where the specific amount of food or specific monkeys or specific days identified depend on the actual input.

However after the process of resolving the errors unable to convert to standard string and unresolved externals I now have a logical error that causes the output of the DAYNAME variable to output as what appears to be hex in the following picture:

How I can fix this and why it's casting them as this in the output.

My full code is as follows because I don't know exactly, which line of code is causing this to happen:

Code:
//
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
// constants
const int MONKEYS = 3;
const int DAYS = 7;

C++ :: Getting Surprising Behavior When Casting

Mar 18, 2014

I'm trying to cast a float to an unsigned int and getting some surprising behavior.

Code:
float x = -1.0;
unsigned int y = (unsigned int)x;
printf("y = %d
", y);

The output of this code changes depending on which compiler I use. Sometimes I get -1 and sometimes I get 0. Not really sure why though.

C++ :: How To Use Type Casting In Programs

Apr 12, 2013

I find type casting to be very hard to grasp, I am not sure why. I understand how it works I suppose, but I find it hard to grasp why it would be needed in programming. So my question is, how often is type casting used in general programs? Is there an easier way I could be trying to teach myself about it? I am just using the tutorials provided by this site.

C/C++ :: Casting Error Char To Int

Apr 30, 2014

I'm writing a small piece of code that increments through a string of numbers. For every 5 numbers a product is produced. However i'm having an issue understanding an error that keeps occurring.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>

[Code].....

if you look at the code i've got a string with 5 numbers 1-5 for testing. As the loop increments through the string it takes the first 5 characters and converts them to integers and then a product is returned. The issue is that instead of storing the single letter at position J its storing some combination from the string and as a result gives me a huge product. I tried debugging. I checked what the string[j] value was with a simple cout << and it returned the right number. I even returned the char value before it was converted into an integer and it was the right number.

C# :: Working With Different Types And Casting?

Jan 3, 2015

double a = 1.0 + 1 + 1.0f; //everynumber will be added up as a double even the last one which is a float. All 3 numbers will turn into 3.0 as a double.

int x = (int)(7 + 3.0 / 4.0 * 2); //the variable will do the math bracket first. then the va type will still be an int because int was never changed.

Console.WriteLine((1 + 1) / 2 * 3); // 1 + 1 will be done first then 1 / 2 then * by 3
Console.WriteLine(x);
Console.ReadKey();

I THINK THATS ALL WRONG ^ =/ like the comments

double a = 1.0 + 1 + 1.0f;

In this equation, everything is using addition, so we start working left to right. 1.0 + 1 is the first step. These two representations of 1 aren't the same type though. In fact, none of the three are.

The first is a double, the second is an int, and the last is a float.

So in order to do 1.0 + 1, we need to convert one type to another. Since the double type is "wider" than the int type, we'll move things up to the double type. We'll convert the int version to a double, and to 1 + 1 using double types, resulting in 2.0 as a double.

Next we do the other addition. This has the same problem, though, because we'll be adding our result from the first step (a 2 as a double) to a float. So again, the float gets converted up to a double and we do the addition using doubles.

We now have a value of 3 that is the double type, which we can simply store in our a variable without any conversions at all, since our value is already a double type.

C/C++ :: How Does Casting Work (under The Surface)

Mar 14, 2014

So, I've used int to float cast before. And it makes sense that it preserves the int value just converts it. I don't really need the answer, I'm just interested, and a resources could suffice.

1. Why in my test program it seems to preserve the int value, I expect that, but why for 0x8000 is it registering bit negation also. I know that is the negative bit for float, but it seems wrong. Is this an error in the gcc compiler conversion code?

2. What is the documentation on these type cast on how they actual work.

3. I know like no assembly, I'm wondering if some of the built in routines to handle or is it all c side code.

4. Can I convert type and preserve the bits. Maybe use void* casting ? I've never really bothered with void* so I don't all that I can do. Except be a pointer that doesn't know the type, obviously. I tested that out in the second code, the output doesn't seem correct, except -0.000. Is it working and my test numbers just are improper float format? It can't be that I test 0x3E20000 = 0.15625 from SingleWiki , but I got 1.328e-36 so the int to void* to float doesn't seem to work in the code below:

#include <cstdio>
int main(){
float flout;
unsigned int num = 1;
int ant;
printf("Int Shift float");
for(unsigned int shift=0;shift<32;shift++){

C++ :: Casting Pointers In C Style?

Sep 5, 2014

Casting Pointers in C Programming. I don't want to move onto implicit casts until I have this down pat. I'm failing to understand how casting pointers works.

The line
int *mnt = (int*)&flt;
if I read this correctly passes the address of flt which has been converted to an int to the pointer mnt.

1 - When I output mnt I get a garbage value, probably because the address of flt is then converted to a pointer and passed onto mnt as a value and then reinterpreted as a memory address. (that is the first part I don't understand)

2 - - What exactly does the (int*) cast say? Does this mean that a pointer will be returned or an address will be returned. What does the fact that the * is inside the parenthesis mean?

Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
float flt= 6.5;
int *mnt = (int*)&flt;
cout << mnt << endl; // outputs hex memory address
cout << *mnt << endl; // outputs garbage value
}

C :: Binary Game - Using Values With Some Basic Logical Operations

Apr 24, 2014

When things at work get overwhelming, it's not unusual for me to briefly "escape" by writing small programs simply for fun. A few days ago, I had an idea for a "binary game". I completed the first draft of it yesterday.

The idea is simple. The game uses 8-bit values. At the start of the game, a random "target" value is generated. The player is dealt a "hand" of seven values. The object is to use the values in your hand, along with some basic logical operations, to create the "target" value. While the idea is simple, the game itself can be quite difficult.

Here is an example of the output:

Code: --------------------
T: 1111 1100 (0xFC)
--------------------
0: 0000 0000 (0x00)
--------------------
1: 1100 1110 (0xCE)
2: 1010 0011 (0xA3)
3: 1100 0101 (0xC5)
4: 1011 1111 (0xBF)
5: 1010 1011 (0xAB)
6: 0001 1011 (0x1B)
7: 0001 1011 (0x1B)
--------------------

: Looking at the first column:
- 'T' is the "target" value
- '0' can be thought of as the "game board" - this is the value that needs to match the target value for a win
- '1' - '7' are the values in your "hand"

You can apply logic AND ('A'), OR ('O'), or XOR ('X') to a value in your hand with the value on the "game board". You are also allowed to apply logic to two values in your hand to create a new value for your hand. When a value from your hand is used, it is removed.

Some examples of the commands:

A30 --- apply logic AND to value #3 in your hand, and the "game board" value
O23 --- apply logic OR to value #2 in your hand and value #3 in your hand
X70 --- apply logic XOR to value #7 in your hand, and the "game board" value

You can also be dealt new values (as long as there's room in your hand) with the '+' command. 'H' or 'h' prints the help, and 'Q' or 'q' exits the game.

I haven't thoroughly tested it yet, since I just finished it a yesterday, but so far it looks good. The program itself uses only standard C.

I was dickering with the idea of supporting more logical operators (NOT, NAND, NOR, XNOR, shift), but I like the simplicity and resulting difficulty of the current implementation.

During initial testing, I realized it's possible to have doubles in your hand. Also, it's quite possible to be dealt the target value directly, which means that you could potentially win with one move, chance permitting. At first I thought about defending against these conditions, but came to the conclusion that it is fine as is - chances of an instant win are small, and if it does occur, would still be an enjoyable experience. Besides, if you're dealt the target value after the "game board" value has been modified.

Also, I did not allow a value of "zero" in the players hand. This was originally because I thought it would be of little use (though I've been reconsidering this). This also means that if two values in the hand are combined and result in zero, both values are removed and no new value is added. This was originally a bug, but I think I'll just reclassify it as a feature

So far, I found that the best strategy is to avoid modifying the "game board" value, and just play with the values in your hand. If you can get the target value in your hand, you just OR it with the "game board" and you're done.

C++ :: Logical Error - Change Value Inside Void Statement

Look at case 2, which the user supposed to key in a new input, the problem is the value will never got into main function, I don't know what should I modify with the function.

Figured out I need to change the

into

void changeData(int &startingAge, int &numOfYears,
double &lumpSumAmount, double &yearlyAmount, double &interestRate )

C :: Unsigned Char - Pointer Type Casting

Dec 2, 2013

I came across some code and it's not clear why it is casting an unsigned char * to another pointer type only to free it right after. Here are the relevant structures:

Code:
struct _Edje_Message {
Edje *edje;
Edje_Queue queue;
Edje_Message_Type type;
int id;
unsigned char *msg;

[Code] .....

As you can see, _Edge_Message has a *msg field, but in the function below, they cast it to the other two structure types inside the case blocks of the switch statement only to free it. What is the point or advantage of doing this?

Code:
void
_edje_message_free(Edje_Message *em) {
if (em->msg) {
int i;
switch (em->type) {

C++ :: Building Multicast Packet - Memcpy Casting

Aug 19, 2014

I am just getting back in to C++ after 10 years not doing any, contributing to an open source project. I'm adding in some functionality and am hitting a road block.

I need to send a multicast packet out on the network that is structured in a certain way. I have the definition, and know what data is going in each byte. I can successfully send a message using multicast, I now just need to send the right message.

I have used a char array to hold the message, as each char represents 1 byte, and I can transmit the array.

I am having trouble putting all of the data in the right place though. If my source data is a string, then I seem to be able to convert it, but if it is a short or int, then I keep getting errors when compiling. Similarly, two of the lines, (version and type) i initially tried using char arrays with a length of one.

Should I be using memcpy or a different function, or even be doing this in a totally different way altogether? This is the code that I am using, along with the packet structure:

//Construct a Zone Query packet
// 4 bytes - Signature "Ohz " = 0x6f, 0x68, 0x7a, 0x20
// 1 bytes - Version = 1
// 1 bytes - Type (0 = Zone Query, 1 = Zone Uri)
// 2 bytes - Entire message length = 12 + zone length
// 4 bytes - Length in bytes of the zone ID
// n bytes - Zone ID to query

[Code] ....

The errors that I get are:

error: invalid conversion from ‘short int’ to ‘const void*’ [-fpermissive]
memcpy(buffer + 6, packetLength, sizeof(packetLength));

C++ :: Validity Of New / Delete Pair (or Malloc / Free) After Pointer Casting

Dec 22, 2012

Goal: To allocate some memory as a char*, read in some binary data, re-interpret it as a float* and then free the memory.

My code looks like:

void someFunction(float* &result) {
char * tmp = new char[1000];
//...Fill the char buffer here...
result = (float*)tmp; //Reinterpret binary data as floats

[Code] ....

Is the cast back to char* necessary on the red line (or could I have validly left it as float*)? Would it be different if I had written char * tmp = (char*)malloc(sizeof(char)*1000); on the blue line (and correspondingly used free (char*)floatData on the red line?

C++ :: Debug Error When Taking A String And Casting It To Float With File Stream

May 9, 2014

Debug Error

ProjectsFinal ProjectGrItemDebugGrItem.exe

R6010 - abort() has been called

I was going over this with a friend and it seems as though getline() is not reading anything in and thus throwing the abort error. I'm not sure why this is because I've included the textfile, with the correct name of course, in both the regular file location and the debug folder. I ask for user input and the user then inputs the name of the file they want, I do some required things behind the scenes and display the results for them in a cmd window. I've included pastebin files for both my header and cpp files because it is far to large for one post I shall, however, post the full code in the comments.

Quick Code

The problem occurs on line 159. I'm assuming once this line is fixed, line 163 will have the same problem.

// Read regular price
getline(nameFile, input, '$');
vectorList[count].regPrice = stof(input.c_str());// Casts string to a float
// Read sale price
getline(nameFile, input, '#');
vectorList[count].salePrice = stof(input.c_str());
