C++ :: Defining Operator In Abstract Class

Jun 22, 2012

I have an abstract class called Mbase and from it derived two classes: Sparse and Dense. Now I have an array in which its elements can be either Sparse or Dense. So, I delcared the array to have pointers to Mbase class. For example:

PHP Code:
Mbase** A;
Sparse* A1 = new Sparse;
Dense* A2 = new Dense;
A[1] = dynamic_cast<Mbase*>(A1);
A[2] = dynamic_cast<Mbase*>(A2); 

Now, I have operator + defined in Sparse and Dense. but when I do

PHP Code:

A[1]+A[2] 

I get that operator + is not defined for Mbase class. So, I tried to define it in the Mbase class

PHP Code:

class Mbase{
public:
void put()=0;
double get()=0;
Mbase operator +(Mbase A);


However, the last code does not compile complaining that it cannot declare a class of type abstract in Mbase operator +(Mbase A). I think this is because I am returning Mbase instance.

C++ ::  Templates - Defining And Implementing Operator Overloading

Sep 15, 2014

I'm struggling a bit to combine templates and operator overloading.

I'm writing a program that will be able to perform various matrix arithmetic at the end. However I'm stuck at the overloaded << and >> functions. I've defined them as I'm used to, without working with templates, however they are incorrect as I have defined them, and I'm not sure how to fix it.

I want to overload the stream insertion operator >> to read matrix data from either the keyboard or a file stream. I want to use >> to input a 3 x 3 matrix stored in a text file in the following format:

2 4 3
5 2 3
7 1 0

And similarly I want to overload the stream extraction operator << to output a matrix to the screen or file in the following format:

3 2 -1
1 -1 2
2 3 -1

Here is my work so far:

matrix.h

#ifndef MATRIX_H
#define MATRIX_H
#include <cassert>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
template <class T> class Matrix;

[Code] ....

C++ :: Common Base Class And Abstract Interface Class?

May 28, 2013

I have an abstract base class - let's call it MyInterface - and a class that most classes in my program inherit from, let's call it MyBaseclass.

Let's assume that all my objects inherit MyBaseclass, some of which also inherit MyInterface. Now I want to collect objects in a container class, MyContainerclass. The container class is only interested in objects that implement MyInterface.

Now I know that all objects that inherit MyInterface also inherit MyBaseclass, but the compiler doesn't know that. MyContainerclass wants to call methods in MyBaseclass, but it collects pointers to MyInterface classes. I can't make MyInterface inherit MyBaseclass, because I will be using classes that I don't want to change (they are part of a framework) that already inherit MyContainerclass. IOW, I can't use virtual inheritance to get a nice inheritance diamond.

To sum up, I want to create a container class that:

1. Collects objects that implement MyInterface.

2. Calls MyBaseclass methods on the collected objects.

C++ :: Can't Instantiate Abstract Class

Dec 28, 2012

two more questions

Code:
#ifndef PERFECTSIM_PARSER
#define PERFECTSIM_PARSER
#include <string>
#include <d3dx9.h>
#include <sstream>
#include <iostream>
#include "tinyxml inyxml.h"
using namespace std;
template<class T>
class GetValue {
protected:
virtual T get(TiXmlNode* pParent);

[code].....

1) Can't instantiate abstract class of GetVector3.

2) Don't you think the coding is very redundant ?

C++ :: Vector Of Pointers - Abstract Class

May 13, 2014

I need to create a vector of pointers and hold the book objects in it. then i have a virtual function in my books which is a pure virtual in LibraryItems. When i try to add the books object in my code, i understand that since the scope runs out there is no object that is added. so when i run print it gives me an error.

#include<iostream>
#include "books.h"
#include "library.h"
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char * argv[]) {
vector<LibraryItems* >libraryInfo;

C++ :: Abstract Class And Virtual Function?

Feb 17, 2013

I have this header file called Shape.h containing these function declarations. and a Shape.cpp which contains the body of the function. I am not showing it since it is not needed.

//This is from Shapes.h header file
#ifndef SHAPES_H
#define SHAPES_H
#include <iostream>

[Code]....

I have this unfinished Main.cpp because the third line "JuanSanchez::Circle *pCar = new Circle; " is giving me a compiler error "error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'Circle' "

#include "Shapes.h"
int main()
{
const int arrayIndex = 4;
JuanSanchez::Shape *myShape[arrayIndex];
JuanSanchez::Circle *pCar = new Circle;
}

What Could be causing this error?

C++ :: Abstract Static Class And Performance

Nov 11, 2014

I have the following code:

class Element {
public:
..
virtual unsigned NumberOfNodes() = 0;

[Code] ....

Is it possible to implement this better? All the element stuff can be static, but this is not possible with the abstract class. I want to have Mesh independent of a specific element. With the code above, if I have multiple meshes I have one instance of an element, e.g., Triangle for each mesh. Although they are all exactly the same.

C++ :: Create Objects From Abstract Class

Oct 13, 2013

I am working on a project that requires me to create objects from a abstract class that has 2 child classes (that need to be derived). Any examples on how to do this? I looked online and the examples were pretty vague. the main error that I am getting is when I make a temp object with & in front of it (such as Employee &genericEmp) it throws a must be initialized error.

C++ :: Abstract Base Class With Templates?

Oct 3, 2014

I want to create an abstract base class having a member function that can accept a templatized structure as its parameter, something that according to C++'s rules can't be done for a good reason.

That good reason it is because an abstract base class is intended to provide interface rules to the classes that will derive from it and should not deal with data.

But how would you go about doing something like the following which is probably a reasonable design decision?

template<typename T>
class Matrix { /* ... */ };
class iFile {
public:
virtual ~iFile() {} = 0;
virtual void Process(const Matrix<T>&) = 0;

C++ :: Struct Constructor And Abstract Class

Feb 14, 2013

I am making a snake game just to give some context.

//LevelObject.hpp
class LevelObject {
public:
virtual void Update() = 0;
virtual void Draw(Canvas& canvas) = 0;
protected:
Vector3 location_;
[Code] ....

The problem I have is with the Size constructor and the abstract class LevelObject which size is a member of.

The compiler error I get is:

C:Program Files (x86)ProgrammingProjectsUniversityprg_interactivesnakey_takeysrc..inc..incPlayer.hpp|17|warning: non-static data member initializers only available with -std=c++11 or -std=gnu++11 [enabled by default]|

[Code] .....

However I do invoke the copy constructor when I pass a variable of type size to the constructor in this line:

size_ = Size(s);

But the problem is that its complaining that the abstract class LevelObject doesn't invoke the constructor, which it shouldn't.

C++ :: How To Hold Pointers / References To Abstract Class

Nov 15, 2014

I have an abstract class named Terrain, and a class named RoadMap, which supposed to hold an N*N array of Terrains. But I'm not sure what type should the RoadMap class hold:

Code:
#ifndef TERRAIN_H
#define TERRAIN_H
class Terrain {

[Code] ....

I can't use an array of refernces here, so I tried this:

Code: Terrain** terrain; and then I thought this was the way to go:

Code: Terrain (*terrain)[]; But now I'm not sure.

The N*N matrix size supposed to be determined according to a given input... What type should I use there?

Visual C++ :: Polymorphic Methods In Abstract Class

Oct 2, 2013

Imagine if there is an abstract class with a method (say output or print) which would be inherited by a few other classes. Later objects are created using the inherited classes, and the user wishes to call the above method twice, for eg (i) output/print to screen and (ii) output/print to a file. What is the best way to achieve that.

C++ :: Class Defining And Storing Integer Arrays

Apr 23, 2013

I am currently stuck on what I should do next in a program I am working on. These are my instructions:

Design, implement, and test a class for storing integer arrays "safely". The array should be able to hold any number of integers up to 100.

In the class header file "SafeArray.h" students must define the class and specify the constructor/destructor functions, the public methods and private variables. In the class implementation file "SafeArray.cpp" students must implement the following operations:

constructor - to initialize the object.
copy constructor - to copy an object.
destructor - to delete the object.
set - allow the user to set a value of the array at a particular location.
get - allow the user to get a value of the array at a particular location.
print - print out the array.
add - add the elements of one array to another.
subtract - subtract the elements of one array from another.

The output of my program is suppose to look like this:

Set q1: 2, 3, 4
Print q1: 2, 3, 4

Set q2: 1, 4, -2
Print q2: 1, 4, -2

Add q2 to q1

Print q1: 3, 7, 2
Get q1 at 1: 7

Here is the code I have so far.

*main.cpp*

#include <iostream>
#include "SafeArray.h"
using namespace std;
int main() {

// Declare a SafeArray object
Safe obj;

[Code] ....

C++ :: Inheritance From Abstract Base Class For Decision Tree

Feb 27, 2014

I'm trying to implement a decision tree that gets doubles as input (in this sample code just random numbers) and returns a boolean value. At the nodes, I'd like to use various operators that can have different input and return types. I've implemented an abstract base class for the nodes and I'm deriving the specific nodes from it. In the code below, I've included only a few derived classes. Building the tree (randomly) is no problem. However, I'm looking for a clever way to evaluate the tree. I think that uncommenting the lines in bold print would in principle do it. However, this is not possible because "value" is not a member of the base class. The type of "value" is different in the derived classes, so I cannot simply declare it in the base class.

"Node.h"
#pragma once
class NodeBase{
public:
NodeBase* Child_1;
NodeBase* Child_2;
virtual void evaluate() = 0;

[Code] ....

C++ :: Initializing Static Map Of Variable Type Abstract Class?

Dec 3, 2014

A have two classes, one inheriting the other, and the parent class being abstract (I plan on adding more child classes in the future). For reasons I won't bother mentioning, I'm making use of an STL container as a way for me to access all of the child objects in the heap. I've done so by making use of a map, with key type int and value type being a pointer to the parent class:

//PARENT.H
class Parent {
protected:
static int n;
static std::map<int, Parent*> map;
public:
virtual void pureVirtual() = 0;

[code]....

The Problem:In line 5 of Parent.cpp, initializing the value of the element to new Child won't work, as according to the compiler, the Child class hasn't been declared yet, and including Child.h into the Parent.h only opens an even bigger can of worms.I also can't initialize it as new Parent, seeing as the parent class is an abstract one.

The Question:Is there a way I can initialize the static map properly. Making the Parent class abstract is not an option.

C++ :: How To Define Static Member Data In Abstract Class

Jul 11, 2012

For example, in a header file A.h, I define an abstract class,

Code:

// A.h
class A {
public:
virtual void foo() = 0;
private:
static int _x;
};

How'd I initialize static member data _x?Normally, we initialize a static member data in a cpp file. However, there is not cpp file for A.h. If I intialize _x in header file, there will be linker errors like mulitple defined symbols. What is appropriate way to do that?

C++ :: Class Using New Operator

Is it usual to rely completly on the new operator in constructors/copy constructors. What if new trows an exception? The application ends and that's it? The new operator can be placed where it can't be catch like in constructor initialization list. What kind of practice I should adopt when using "new" in those cases?

The sample code below is taken from here... [URL] ....
