C :: Determine Minimum Number Of Changes That Can Be Made
Mar 7, 2013
You are given an integer, perhaps a very long long integer, composed of only the digits 1 and/or 2. You have the ability to change a 1 digit into a 2 and a 2 digit into a 1 and must determine the min. number of changes that you can make resulting in no 2 digits remaining in the number that are in a position(in terms of powers of ten) higher than any 1 digit.
example:
2222212 number of changes:1
1111121 1
2211221 3
1122112 2
no negative numbers.
how to get started. Also I'm not allowed to use anything related to arrays or sorting.

I'm trying to write a code to calculate the minimum number of coins needed to cover a change. It works fine but i want to display a message telling the user to try again if they type something that's not a number or a negative number. But it's not working. When i type a negative number, the program runs normally and displays a negative value of coins instead of showing the message. And when i type something that's not a number, the program just keeps showing a lot of zeros nonstop. And when i try to compile it with 'unsigned float' instead of just 'float' i get errors.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
unsigned int coins;
float change;
unsigned int n25, n10, n5, n1;
unsigned int r25, r10, r5;
}
[code]....

In a fashion similar to that in Fig. 3.11(shown below), write a short program to determine the smallest number, xmin, used on the computer you will be employing along with this book. Note that your computer will be unable to reliably distinguish between zero and a quantity that is smaller than this number.

Write a program to determine the number of binary palindromes in a given range [a;b]. A binary palindrome is a number whose binary representation is reading the same in either forward or reverse direction (leading zeros not accounted for). Example: the decimal number 5 (binary 101) is palindromic.

Write a program that determines the day number (1 to 366) in a year for a date that is provided as input data. As an example, January 1st, 1994, is day 1. December 31, 1993, is day 365. December 31, 1996 is day 366, since 1996 is a leap year. A year is a leap year if it is divisible by four, except that any year divisible by 100 is a leap year only if it is divisible by 40. Your program should accept the month, day, and year as integers. Include a function leap that returns 1 if called with a leap year, 0 otherwise. Extend the requested solution so that your program continues to prompt the user for new dates until a negative year is entered. This is what I have so far.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
int main(void) {
int d,m,y;
int days=0;
int k;
[Code] .....
I am unsure how to make this a loop so that it keeps asking for dates?

I'm trying to determine the number of times I have to change each specific character in a string to make it a palindrome. You can only change a character one at a time from the end.
Example: "abc" -> "abb" -> "aba" should print 2. "aba" will print 0 because it's already a palindrome. "abcd" -> "abcc" -> "abcb" -> "abca" -> "abba" will print 4 because it took 4 changes to make a palindrome.
I'm not too sure how to approach this - I figured out the case where if it's a palindrome (if reversed string is the same) then it'll print out a 0.
int main() {
int number;
cin >> number; //expecting a number for first line user input
for (int i = 0; i < number; i++) {
string str;

If I create a file that looks like this for example,
car 2 4 6 8
truck 1 2 3 4 5 6
plane 4 5 6 7 9
Whenever I go to open it back up like this,
ifstream inputFile;
string line;
inputFile.open("file.txt");
while (inputFile>>line) {
cout << line << endl;
} inputFile.close();
return 0;
}
It displays output like this,
car
2
4
6
8
How can I get it to display like above?

I want to monitor a text file. So far what I have is the program reads and prints the names in the file to standard out. When the program reaches the end of the file, it closes.
I want the program to stay active and continue to print names as they are saved to the text file.
I was toying with FindFirstChangeNotification function, but it seems that returns a handle so I'm back to the drawing board.

I want to make an encapsulated surface class that keeps track of important aspects about a surface. I have it started, except when I test the .onDraw() function, nothing appears on the screen. My Code is below:
#include "NSurface.h"
NSurface::NSurface() {
surface = NULL;
}
NSurface::~NSurface() {
SDL_FreeSurface(surface);
[code]....
why nothing is blitting to the screen when I test that class.onDraw() and SDL_Flip(screen)?

I want to know how to respond to a request made by a mobile application (preferably Android) through a desktop software. So for example if there is a button on the mobile app named 'do something and a user clicks it, I want the desktop software to respond to that request and 'do something
So what I was thinking was to upload a file to a server when the button on the app is clicked and add a timer to the desktop software to connect to the server and read the file and respond accordingly.
Is this how it is usually done or am I going about this the wrong way? Im developing the app in C# (Xamarin) and the desktop software in C# as well.

implementing a game of chess, i was able to easily implement the grid with an 8x8 multidimensional array.but here is the case I need to implement a grid made of hexagons(six sided but in future may be seven sideded or eight may be needed): like a beehive something.
How can such a grid be implemented in c++ taking notes of coordinates and borders and stuff? From where i can start working from? this grid has to be just like the chess grid only we got six sided boxexs instead of four,

Is it possible in C to instantly react to keystrokes made in console?For example, consider the following code:
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
char ch;
printf("Enter a sentence...
");
[code]....
The evaluation of the if statement inside the loop will not occur until the Enter key is pressed on keyboard.To my best understanding, It just pushes the keystrokes to some buffer, and when the '' is introduced, it evalutes the characters one by one.Is there an elegant way to instantly react to keystrokes in C?

I have a client/server program. My Client process spawns my server process using a `fork()` and `system()` call. The client and the server are meant to communicate to each other through named piped, that is a requirement of my homework. The client and the server are supposed to initially send a message to the other one, through a pipe, to confirm that a connection is made. My issue is that my client is trying to open one of the named pipes before the server has a chance to make it. This doesn't always happen though. Occasionally, it will run fine. Is there some way to synchronize this?
My overall goal is to get a filename and search target from the user, send those to the server through a named pipe. And the server searches for the target and sends info back.
OUTPUT:
Client: PID 2986 - Running on Tue Sep 30 20:59:28 2014
Client: PID 2986 - Enter File Name: largeSampleText.txt
Server PID 2988 - Running on Tue Sep 30 20:59:32 2014
Server: PID 2988 - Synchronized to Client.//This means the client-to-server fifo is working
There was an error opening serverToClientfifo//This means client couldn't open the server-to-client fifo
error is: 2//This means the fifo doesn't exist yet
[Code] ....
CORRECT OUTPUT:
Client: PID 2542 - Running on Tue Sep 30 20:58:44 2014
Client: PID 2542 - Enter File Name: largeSampleText.txt
Server PID 2557 - Running on Tue Sep 30 20:58:54 2014
Server: PID 2557 - Synchronized to Client.
[Code] ....
RELEVANT CLIENT CODE:
int main() {
char requestedFileName[1024];
//Get initial information on the client
pid_t clientPID = getpid();
time_t currentTime = time(0);
char* stringTime= ctime(¤tTime);
[Code] ....
I tried creating both of my fifos in my client and my output changed to this
Client: PID 3150 - Running on Tue Sep 30 21:23:17 2014
Client: PID 3150 - Enter File Name: largeSampleText.txt
Client: PID 3150 - Enter Target:
Server PID 3153 - Running on Tue Sep 30 21:23:21 2014
was
Client: PID 3150 - Input File >>>largeSampleText.txt<<<
Client: PID 3150 - Target >>>was<<<
Client: PID 3150 - Synchronized to Server
Server received unexpected connection message
Message: was
Terminating
So It appears like the client went ahead and put `requestedFileName` and`requestedTarget`into the pipe and the server read out `requestedTarget` instead of the connection message. Not sure why though

I was going through Singleton design pattern and get to know that objects can be created only by static function of that class and constructors are make private.
My question is, why assignment operators are not made private through which we can create a copy of already existing object.
I tried below code and assignment works, so I have new object sc3. I know that its referring to memory of sc1 but finally I was able to create object without using static function.
Also, why copy constructor not made as private.
Below is code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Singleton {
private:
static bool instanceFlag;

Write a C program that calculates the final value of an investment made in a TSX Market Linked GIC.
Specification
The return on this type of GIC (Guaranteed Investment Certificate) is based on the initial investment, the number of years (1, 2 or 3), a minimum return rate, a maximum return rate, a participation rate, the values of the TSX (Toronto Stock Exchange) index at specified intervals during the years, and the type of averaging of these values. The final investment value can only be calculated once all the TSX values are known.
If averaging is not used the TSX rate is determined from the opening and closing values only. If averaging is used the TSX rate is determined by calculating the TSX average at 6 monthly intervals, then is based on this average relative to the opening value. The TSX rate is then multiplied by the participation rate. If this new rate is below the minimum rate, then the minimum rate is used, and if it is above the maximum rate, then the maximum rate is used. Rates are printed to 2 decimal places, and the final investment is rounded down, and formatted using commas.
Only round down for the final investment. If the TSX rate is negative do not print the line for rate adjusted for participation. Assume that the final investment is less than one million dollars. (Hint: if you need to print leading zeros in a number, use the %0m.n format: example - the format specifier %06.2f prints 4.56 as 004.56)
Example 1: See below; averaging is not used, so TSX rate = (107-100)/100 = 7%. After using a participation rate of 80%, get 5.6% (which is between min & max rates).
Example 2: See below; averaging is used over 5 values to get a rate of 68% which equals 54.4% due to participation. This is more than the max rate, so the max rate is used.
The GIC calculator must use the following layout exactly.
+------------------------------------+
| TSX MARKET LINKED GIC CALCULATOR |
+------------------------------------+
Enter initial investment : 1000.00
Enter number of years [1,2,3] : 3
Enter minimum and maximum rates [%] : 1 20
Enter participation rate [%] : 80
Enter if averaging used [1=yes,0=no]: 0
Enter open and close values : 100 107
TSX rate . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7.00%
Rate adjusted for participation . . 5.60%
Final investment . . . . . . . . . . $ 1,056.00

Enter minimum and maximum rates [%] : 1 20
Enter participation rate [%] : 80
Enter if averaging used [1=yes,0=no]: 1
Enter 5 TSX values : 200 190 320 430 540
TSX rate . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 68.00%

I am trying to make my program read a bunch of numbers in an array to find its maximum and minimum. the program will ask the user to enter in as much number as possible until they enter a non number/letter. i got my program to find the maximum value but the program couldn't read the minimum value. it always says zero. also everytime i enter the number 0, the program will just finish its loop statement. If i typed in a negative number, it'll read the negative number as its minimum.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()

double list[1000]; // can hold 1000 items
int i;
char letter;

I wrote a program to find the minimum and the maximum values from a vector. It works fine. What I'm trying to do is show the positions of said values and it's not working quite right. When I insert 4 elements: 2 0 1 3 it says:
"The min and max are 0 and 3
The position of the min is: 01
The position of the max is: 03"
What am I doing wrong? Here is the code:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
int main() {
int A[10], i, j, n, min, max, C[10], k=0, D[10], l=0;

The method doesn't work properly, the point of the code is to tell the minimum value in the given matrix "m", it's supposed to take the first value of the matrix store it in min_ and then compare it to every value of the matrix, if the value stored in min_ is bigger than the current value in the loop then it's stored as the new min_ and at the end it's supposed to print that minimum...
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define SIZE 3
void minimum (int mat[SIZE][SIZE]){
int r,c;
int min_;
