C :: Directly Create Dynamic String From Stdin
Sep 14, 2014
Is it possible to create a dynamic char array on the fly directly from stdin? I do not want to create a fixed length array before hand and then copy contents of it into a malloc created array.
Code: //[1]
char line[MAX1];
gets(line);
[Code]....
I could do either [1](buffer overflow problem) or [2] and then goto [3]. But both will have a problem if the input is more than the size MAX1(use defined).
Is it possible to do something of the effect of readLine() method of BufferedReader class in Java or the Console.readLine in .NET? Is it possible to peek into stdin and see the size of the input and then creat an array of the same exact size?

I want to read a string of unknown length from stdin. I tried to follow the approach from this link. URL....My code is like this:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int n;
cin >> n;
cout << "The value of n is " << n << endl;
}
[code]......
What I have noticed is that if I take integer input from cin (cin >> n;) in the above code before getline, the control does not stop on getline to take str as input from the console. If I don't do (cin >> n) before getline then the control stops on getline and takes the string as input.What is the best way to read from console multiple strings of unknown length in combination with the integers?

I wish to convert a character directly to a string for a top-secret project I'm working on. It needs to be portable across various machines with different sized Indians.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
const int i = 0x0041;
const char *str_p = (char *) &i;
}
[code]....
I want this to output an 'A', but I'm not sure this code will work on my friend's mom's S/360.

I have a struct called Array and I'm to create a function to create a dynamic array that's fill with randomly generated integers from 0 to 50 (inclusive) and a function to destroy the array for freeing its memory. Below the code that I have written so far.
Code:
* Struct */
typedef struct {int *pArray; //the dynamic array
int length; //the size of the dynamic array}Array;
/* Function to create a dynamic array */
Array *initializeArray (int length) {int i;
}
[code]....

What is wrong with my function why does it spit out huge numbers? And how do i use malloc or calloc to create an array in dynamic memory, and return a pointer to this array
Code:
#include <stdio.h>#include <stdlib.h>
int fibonacci(int n)
{
int i;
long int fib[40];
fib[0]=0;
fib[1]=1;
for(i=2;i<n;i++){
fib[i] = fib[i-1] + fib[i-2];
[Code]....

I have a class called Book and I am trying to create a dynamic pointer based array of the class. When I try to run the program I keep getting the error: pointer being freed was not allocated at the line of code that says "delete [] A;". I am using Xcode to run the program.
Book *changeArraySize(Book *A, int &size, double factor) {
int i;
int newsize = size*factor;
Book *A2 = new Book[newsize];

I'm trying to create a function that uses dynamic allocated arrays instead of vectors because I want to see how they work. Basically, this function asks the user to input how many people they are going to enter followed by their name; then, they enter how many of these people want to register for an ID followed by their phone #.
For example:
"How many customers will you like to enter? " 3 //user inputs 3
Bob Allen //user input
Ellen Michaels //user input
Jane Andrews //user input

look at this code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class teste
[Code]....
Each time i call "x = new teste();" the previous object is deleted? Does this code cause any sort of memory leak?

I need to create a main function with a one dimension dynamic array with float data type. The total number of array elements must be controlled by a user input from the keyboard. Test data is three different lengths 3,6,9 of the array. The lengths have to be set up at run time from users input. I understand how to create dynamic array but not where the user inputs the length of the array. How would I implement this?

I'm completely new to pointers and have a homework assignment due where I'm supposed to create a user defined dynamic array for player scores. The only errors I'm experiencing is a C2109: subscript requires pointer type and only on the lines that use the int *score; variable (57, 62, 64, 69, 71, and 82). I've already tried adding = nullptr to the variable and that didn't work.
#include<iostream>
#include<string>
#include<iomanip>
using namespace std;
void players(string[], int[], int);
void average(int[], int);

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdarg.h>
char * form(char *format, ...);
}
[code]...
So, this is the code i have problem with, as far as i can see, function form actually does the same thing that printf does.It probably puts all of the arguments sent to the function together into one string.

I have a little problem with one of my functions. The function purpose is to get a number (n) and create an array (size n) with pointers to strings (each string length is 20 chars) and i don't know why but during the debugging i get a <bad ptr> message and this message :
CXX0030: Error: expression cannot be evaluated
This is my function:
Code:
char** getlist(int n) {
int i=0;
char **arr;
arr=(char**)malloc(sizeof(char)*n);
if (arr==NULL)

The snippet below (or similar) compiles and runs OK but I am using Visual Studio C++ compiler. Are the lines where .nameFirst and .nameLast assigned kosher in ANSI C?
Also I am concerned about the memory allocation for these string constants. Does the runtime system put them on the heap? It doesn't seem that they are really constants since they are not defined before runtime.
Code:
#include "stdlib.h"
typedef struct
{
unsigned id;
char* nameFirst;
char* nameLast;
} myList;

I coded a program that takes some strings and lexicographically orders the strings and its substrings. I have used dynamic memory allocation technique and its working fine for all strings without consecutive same alphabets.I use a list in which a string is placed in its exact position by moving the others right.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <conio.h>

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:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdarg.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
char *form(char *format,...);
char *form(char *format,...)
[Code]...
I assume the error is in functions(itoa,fcvt,ecvt).

I am aiming to read an integer from stdin(pointed to the uart) and echo it with the uart interrupt service routine. there is a simple retarget file along with the main code shown below. So far i can read chars (char x[32] but i am struggling with int.
I have gathered that i need to use the scanf function to read an int from the pointer defined in fgets.
My output is giving me weird values, i enter 8 and ill get a random 3 digits back. I have a feeling its a problem with the input buffer.
Code:
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------// Cortex-M0//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>#include <time.h>#include <rt_misc.h>
#include <stdlib.h>#define AHB_LED_BASE
0x50000000#define AHB_UART_BASE
0x51000000void UART_ISR(){

I need it to search a dynamic array which I build from an input file. When it finds the user-input string, I want it to store the line number, and continue searching, and record all lines that contain the user-input string.
Here is a link to my complete main.cpp, header file, and implementation file. The function I am having trouble with is "Bagger::lineSearch"

I've got some functions and macros that I want to execute based on a string input that matches the function's name. I came across as this being a possible solution that I'd like to pursue IF it is possible to do. To clarify, I want to be able to look at a string and if the string matches the name of a defined function or macro then it will execute. Is there an effective way to do this (or is it even possible)?
It has to be pretty robust and dynamic given the project's purpose. Basically there's an input file that is being parsed and functions should execute if called upon in the file. I can't simply match strings to their corresponding functions in decision statements, as this isn't robust and isn't scalable.

I am trying to understand why i keep getting errors in my code. The errors are after the string is converted in my console window. I have to allocate and delete memory via dynamic array to do the problem.
#include<iostream>
#include<string>
#include<cctype>
using namespace std;
int main() {
string sentence;
int size;
[code]....
I just want to know why the extra characters are at the end of my conversion and how to make them stop.

I'm learning internet sockets right now and to that end I've made a simple client/server chat program centered around select(). I've got it to where multiple messages can be sent and received on either side and the "prompt" will move down 1 line each time accordingly.
My only sticking point is when someone is in the middle of typing a message and a new message is received. The message they are currently typing is going to be deleted, so they'll have to start over again. What I want to do is grab the current contents of the stdin buffer (meaning, there's no ), save it, print the received message and move the prompt downward as usual, and then put that saved message back into the buffer, meaning not only is it back on the screen now, it's erasable too as if nothing ever happened.
I know that this will definitely be some very very non-standard C, and that's fine. To that end, I've read that curses, GNU readline, and termios are possibilities for this. I've tried those, but am having trouble making it work.
This will be a moot point when I put a GUI on it soon (probably wx, but maybe Qt) since it won't even be an issue, but I'm determined to make this work. Both systems (the "client" and the "server") are Linux, one being Ubuntu and one being Debian.

int main( ) {
char * secret = "abecedarium consisting This is a string literal!";

I am trying to test what happens in the sscanf converted types (command and string) if they are smaller, i got surprised that the printf worked, so i dont know why.
this code is just a test for what i want to do, what i really want to do is for example: i have this string from the stdin which must have the following format:
connect name.surname
So I need to check the cases when it is not the input that i want, namely if the name.surname is for example bigger than 30 chars. and also if it has the abecedary characters from the ascii...
