C++ :: Creating A Variable Inside Function Arguments
May 15, 2013
In the following code:
#include <iostream> // For stream I/O
using namespace std;
int function(int a) {
return a;
}
int main() {
function(int b);
}
Why is creating a variable inside the function argument list not allowed. Any reason other then for the language syntax or just for the language syntax?
Would each instance of Foo create a new counter variable, or would it remain the same for all of them, i.e. baz.funky() would always use the same counter variable? What if the class was a template?
I am modifying a set of static variables inside of the class's member function. The static variables are private. An example of what I'm doing is as below,
utilities.h ----------- class utilities { private: static int num_nodes;
public: void parse_details(char* );
[Code] ....
I get a compilation error in the function void utilities::parse_details(char* filename)
which says: undefined reference to `utilities::num_nodes'
Any way to create a variable using a variable in the name? So E.g. if you wanted to create an int named nr(x), and x was 1, you would get an int variable named nr1? How would you do this?
Write a function write with variable number of arguments that takes a string first argument followed by any number of arguments of type double and prints on the screen a string formatted by the rules described below. The first argument may contain formats in curly braces of the form {index[:specifier]}, where the square brackets show optional parts (this is :specifier may be missing), and index is the sequence number of an argument of type double (starting from sequence number 0).
Rules for formatting: In the printed string the curly brackets and their content will be replaced by the argument with the given index, formatted according to the given format specifier. If the format specifier is missing, the argument will be printed with its default format. For example:
write("The number {0} is greater than {1}.", 5, -3); will print The number 5 is greater than -3.
write("There are no format specifiers here."); will print There are no format specifiers here.
The format specifiers and their meanings are listed in the following table
Specifier MeaningFormat Output for 1.62 Output for 2.0 none default {0}1.62 2 ccurrency{0:c}$1.62 $2.00 escientific{0:e}1.620000e+000 2.000000e+000 ffixed point{0:f}1.620000 2.000000 iround to int{0:i}2 2
Limitations: You may limit the maximum number of arguments your function can process to a certain value, for example 10.
Suggested extensions: -Add an optional alignment specification in the format , e.g., make the format of the form {index[,alignment][:specifier]}, where alignment is an integer specifying the width of the field in which the corresponding argument will be printed. If alignment is positive, align to the right, if it is negative, align to the left. -Accept an optional integer after the specifier letter, specifying the required precision in the output. For example, {0:f2} will print the number 1.6234 as 1.62, but {0:f5} will print it as 1.62340.
I need to create dynamic string by given format(%d,%s,%f,%lf,%c) using variable number of arguments in function. This code gives me an error(main.exe has stopped working):
I need to create dynamic string by given format(%d,%s,%f,%lf,%c) using variable number of arguments in function. This code gives me an error(main.exe has stopped working):
Code: typedef struct _a { int id; } a; typedef struct _b { a my_a; my_a.id = 1; // error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before "my_a" } b;
I get error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before "my_a"
I must set the id for the kind of struct created inside the struct def because main() will be casting based on this id. Thats how I will know which structure b contains by it's id, there could be hundards of different structs with different values I will cast to the correct one and know it's members by it's id. How do I ?
if possible i want avoid the '&' when i assign the variable address.(variant2 f=varname;//like you see i don't use the '&') for the moment i just need put the address to Variant pointer. but i receive several errors .
recently I developed a class header only in C++ to deal with byte arrays. Since I developed programs in other languages that had some libraries to dial with byte arrays, I developed one that the syntax is very similar to other languages.
Since I'm not very familiar with memory management, I was concerned about somethings I've read about (ex: memory fragmentation).
The class is intended to be used as part of comunication protocol in a webserver, byte arrays are created and destroyed a lot. Should I use pools? Is there a better practice? Am I doing everything wrong (laugh)?
For those who wants to see the entire class: [URL]
I have defined a class in a header file; just the class, no templates involved. I have a program where I'm reading in data in string format. Each string consists of a word, a delimiter, and a variable name. Example:
cajun/mustard
I want to take that string and make it the variable name of that class type. It would be implemented along the lines of:
Code: string str; //read/process string here, get: str = "mustard"; createName(str); //pass string to creator function When the function is called, I should get the variable: Class mustard;
Thing is, I'm not supposed to know beforehand what the variable names are, only that I create them as they are read in. It could be mustard, it could be Maynard_James_Keenan, it could even be bazinga.
My problem is, what do I do for createName()? I've looked into the concepts of pairing, Factory implementation, and maps, but I don't think they answer my question.
(P.S. if I run into the same variable name being read in twice, what steps can I take to make sure that a duplicate variable isn't created? Do I need to add in code, or does the compiler know to watch for multiple variables of the same name?)
How do you prompt the user to enter the number of elements for the array and use that information to creatr a variable length array? And then how do you prompt the user to enter in a number for each element of the array and scan in the appropriate numbers? the numbers are double precision floating point.
for example, Enter the numbe of elements in the array: 3 Enter element 0: 3 Enter element 1: -1 Enter element 2: 4
I know it starts with
int main() { double N; int a[size];
printf("Enter the number of elements in the array:" ); scanf("%f", &size);
I'm attempting to split a large binary file into smaller manageable files for analysis. I've written most of the software but I'm stuck in a couple of places.
1. The binary file is split by looking at a couple of bytes to determine when to create a new file or continue appending to the current new file. The question is when I need to create a new file, how can I dynamically sign it a name? My intention is to rename each subfile by: "original_name" + new section id + ".log".
2. The start of each section is determined by a specific pattern (6 bytes of FF's). I'm running into an issue where the pattern check is checking for 5 bytes instead of 6 because the for..loop doesn't increment for one instance.
I want to be able to then use the file stored in pedoFile in the cpp of another class called PlayButton. I tried doing this with a pointer? not sure if that's correct way of doing it (i know very little about C++ or programming) by changing the function to this. I'm getting the error invalid initialisation of non-const reference of type 'juce::File*&' from a temporary of type 'juce::File'
Depending on the message ID different messages represent different values for one project.For example msg with ID 10 can include in the 8 bytes something like:
Printing the message is no big deal. But here comes the tricky part. I want to print out the specific information hidden in the 8 bytes. I can define the structures for every msg ID and compile the program with this "special" header file, but I want to do it during runtime of the program, loading the information regarding the msgs, because i can have different projects where the information for different msg IDs can differ.
I've a non-C file, where basically all the information is written. Lets stay frame named
GetStatus{ bit 0 - 7 width bit 8 - 15 height . . } etc.
How to read it on runtime and decode the messages? On runtime I'm not able to create variables and structures anymore!
I'm expected to get a starting minimum input, and also an ending maximum output (for example: 21, and 25). From here, i have to give output using all the numbers (in a row) between the min and max numbers.
(for the same example: 21 22 23 24 25)
I assumed I would want to create an array using a variable, but i'm not sure of that either.
i want to use a class to print data stored as vector or array with different data types. i also want the print function two take more than one vector or array or combination of both so that they can be written to file as two columns. so i wrote the following class:
right now it has only one member function for printing two vectors. later i'll add additional functions as required.
note: there has to be template functions inside the class i also want the object to be global so that i need not pass it as an argument to other calling functions
then i want to call this template function in another ordinary function written in a seperate cpp file
these function declarations are put in a header file. so i need know whether i should put the declaration of the template function in the header to use the function in different functions

I am doing a problem where I need to use arrays of string objects that hold 5 student names, an array of one character to hold the five students' letter grades and five arrays of doubles to hold each student's set of test scores and average score.
When I try to run it, I get these five errors.
error C2660: 'getTestScore' : function does not take 3 arguments : line 39 error C2660: 'getTestScore' : function does not take 3 arguments : line 45 error C2660: 'getTestScore' : function does not take 3 arguments : line 51 error C2660: 'getTestScore' : function does not take 3 arguments : line 57 error C2660: 'getTestScore' : function does not take 3 arguments : line 63
