C++ :: Getting Vector With A Pointer?
Sep 30, 2014
My problem is that I have two classes that both need members from each other, so I need to use forward declaration + pointers, etc. However, trying to access a vector from a pointer throws an error.
Here's the code:
for(int j = 0; j < level->GetCollisionObjects().size(); j++){
if(fr.intersects(level->GetCollisionObjects()[j])){
rotate = false;
}
}
level is a pointer to class Level. This function is inside class GamePiece. Class Level includes class GamePiece, but GamePiece needs access to the vector CollisionObjects. This function throws a vector size error, and I'm totally lost on what to do.

I have a pointer to a vector that contains instances of class Test:
Code:
vector<Test*>* testVec;
If I do this:
Code:
Test* one = new Test();
tectVec->push_back(one);
this crashes. What do I need to do to declare the dynamic memory so this works?

Ok here is the code
//assuming that all the directives have been included here
void ptrPointer(vector<string>* const p, int n);
int main() {
vector<string> inventory;
vector.push_back("sword");
vector.push_back("knife");
[Code] .....
Well...my question is how come the last statement or cout statement to be accurate won't work and display? Since we can do something like this below?
string text = "some text";
string *p = &text;
cout << p;
I passed the address of the vector to the function. And then display the address. It is a pretty common operation. But it just won't work. But then we do something simple similar to that of the vector. But it works.

I have a pointer to a vector of objects, each object has an array and a couple of strings. how to access the data in the objects via the pointer.
Best tree::chooseSplit(vector <pgm> *ptr)
{
Best splits;
cout<<ptr[1].filePath; //not working!!!
}
filepath is a string in the pgm object. i also need to be able to access elements in an array that also exists in pgm.

I've got a struct called Node that contains, among other things, a pointer to a vector of pgm objects. (pgm is a class i've created)
struct Node {
int label;
vector <pgm> *ptr;
Node* lessNode;
Node* moreNode;
};
in another class, i create a vector and a Node and am having trouble assigning the pointer in the Node to point to my new vector.
vector <pgm> lessData;
Node* left;
left->ptr=&lessData;
This all compiles ok, but the last line in the code above causes a segmentation fault. I should mention Node is declared on its own in Node.h and what pgm is. including pgm.h in node.

I'm tying to create a program that evaluates all possible actions for a certain problem.
So what i'm basically trying to do is to create a sequence of actions, evaluate them to check if it's the best sequence, change the sequence, evaluate again and so on until all possible scenarios are exhausted, leaving the best one in the end.
My approach to this at first was to create a tree of all possible options and then evaluate each branch. Since there are a lot of possible cases i ran out of memory while the program was still creating the tree. I changed this to create just a branch, evaluate it and then modify it.
I was still getting memory problems. I declared a class tNode and declared a vector<tNode*> branch. Then i created all the nodes i needed for that branch with branch.push_back( new tNode() ). When i wanted to modify the branch i simply used branch.pop_back() and again a branch.push_back( new tNode() ). I figured i was getting the problem because although i clear the vector, i don't actually clear the reference in memory. Is this correct? If so, how can i actually delete the memory space and not just the pointer in the vector?

I have following:
struct Point {int* a; int b;};
vector<vector<Point> > numbers;
vector<int> example;
The numbers vector has a matrix of a sort and each of the members are pointing to one member in the example vector. A member numbers.at(2).at(3).a is pointing at example.at(3). Now, can I remotely delete a member in the example vector using the pointers? Like so:
delete (*(numbers.at(2).at(3).a));
I know there is a more convenient way to delete members, but this is a very specific case I'm working on.

struct mystruct{
int n;
};
class mscope{
public:
std::vector<mystruct> mv;
[Code] .....
So I have a vector of structs and I want to traverse it, find a struct that matches a constraint and obtain a pointer to that struct. I made a function for this purpose which takes a number and an empty pointer that will store the reference. However, after function returns the pointer becomes null. What could be causing this?

Below is a working program. Please note that the vector <int*> pointer is declared as a public member of the class A.
The problem arises when I try to make it a private (instead of public). First, let's look at the File 1 below. It compiles and works fine.
File 1: main.cpp (working fine)
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

An attempt to create a class which is basically a mimic of vector<int> i don't seem to know how to delete pointer x in a destructor to free memory, also on pushback and pushfront methods, i can't free y when i implement delete[] y; y=NULL; i get some NULL out put when cout 'ing the object in main, why is that happening and how do i free memory y.
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
class vectorOfint{
int* x;
int size;
public:
vectorOfint();

I know what are pointer's and how to use them but there is one point i am not able to understand. Below is the example code
I understand everything in the below code except 1 thing why i am using pointer to base class object in vector int the main() Function?
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
// base class
[Code] ...
Here is the lines of code i want to understand.
Code:
vector<Employee*> employees;
employees.push_back(&emp1);
employees.push_back(&mgr1);
I know if i will not use the pointer base class function "virtual double grossPay" will be called for both base class object and derived class object and when i will use pointer with reference to the object because base class function is virtual it will look for same function in derived class and if available it will execute it.

using namespace std;
int duplicate( vector < int > &vector1, const int value, const int counter)

I have a cpp app that reads in a number of files and writes revised output. The app doesn't seem to be able to open a file with a ' in the file name, such as,
N,N'-dimethylethylenediamine.mol
This is the function that opens the file :
Code:
// opens mol file, reads in rows to string vector and returns vector
vector<string> get_mol_file(string& filePath) {
vector<string> mol_file;
string new_mol_line;
// create an input stream and open the mol file
ifstream read_mol_input;
read_mol_input.open( filePath.c_str() );
[Code] ....
The path to the file is passed as a cpp string and the c version is used to open the file. Do I need to handle this as a special case? It is possible that there could be " as well, parenthesis, etc.

Lets say that I have a vector of vector of integers. <1,2,3,4> , <5,6,7,8>, <10,11,12,13>
How do I make a function that creates vector of vector of every different integers?
<1,5,10> , <1,5,11>, <1,5,12>, <1,5,13>
<1,6,10> , <1,6,11>, <1,6,12>, <1,6,13>
<1,7,10> , <1,7,11>, <1,7,12>, <1,7,13>
<1,8,10>, <1,8,11>, <1,8,12>, <1,8, 13>
<2,5,10>, <2,5,11>, <2,5,12>, <2,5,13>
and so on...

I was having problems changing the value of my head node I passed it as an argument as head which would be the address. The parameter was defined as struct node *head. like this
bool deleteNode(struct node *head, struct node *delptr)
I tried manipultaing pointer values to change head node value but it did not work. I saw some code online which used pointer to pointers(in code below) to change head node value it worked I dont fully understand why. Would like better understanding of why.
Would also like to know why the argument call needed &head instead of just head.
remove = deleteNode(&head,found); opposed to remove = deleteNode(head,found);
#include "stdafx.h"
#include<iostream>
struct node{

I am attempting to implement function pointers and I am having a bit of a problem.
See the code example below; what I want to be able to do is call a function pointer from another pointer.
I'll admit that I may not be explaining this 100% correct but I am trying to implement the code inside the main function below.
class MainObject;
class SecondaryObject;
class SecondaryObject {

I have asked a related question before, and it was resolved successfully. In the past, when I wanted to use std::max_element in order to find the maximum element (or even sort by using std::sort) of a vector of structures according to one of the members of the structure, all I had to do was to insert a specially designed comparison function as the third argument of the function std::max::element. But the latter comparison function naturally accepts two arguments internally.
For instance, here is a test program that successfully finds the maximum according to just one member of the structure:
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
[Code] ....
And the output was this, as expected:
Maximum element S.a of vector<S> vec is at: 9
[I]max element of vec.a between slot 3 and slot 6 is: 6, and its index is: 6 vec[6].a = 6
[I]max element of vec.a between slot 4 and slot 7 is: 7, and its index is: 7 vec[7].a = 7
[I]max element of vec.a between slot 5 and slot 8 is: 8, and its index is: 8 vec[8].a = 8
[I]max element of vec.a between slot 6 and slot 9 is: 9, and its index is: 9 vec[9].a = 9
However, I now need to search and find an element of vector<myStruct> according to just one member of myStruct, instead of finding the maximum or sorting as before. This presents a problem because the function std::find does not accept such a comparison function as its third argument.
This was the description of the std::find function that I found: find - C++ Reference
Code:
template <class InputIterator, class T> InputIterator find (InputIterator first, InputIterator last, const T& val);
I could also find another function called std::find_if, but this only accepts a unary predicate like this: find_if - C++ Reference
Code:
template <class InputIterator, class UnaryPredicate> InputIterator find_if (InputIterator first, InputIterator last, UnaryPredicate pred);
And once again this is either inadequate of I don't see how to use it directly, because for the third argument I would like to insert a function that takes two arguments with a syntax like this:
Code:
int x=7;
std::vector<S>::iterator result;
result = std::find(vec.begin(), vec.end(), []( const (int x, const S & S_1) { return ( x == S_1.a ) ; } ) ;
Is there another std function that I can use to make search and find an element according to just one member of myStruct?
Or perhaps there is a clever way to pass two arguments to the unary predicate.

I have to write a program to print pascals triangle and stores it in a pointer to a pointer , which I am not entirely sure how to do. I also have to write the file and read it, then create a binary file. Assignment is attached. I am not the best with programming and especially with pointers. I will post my code below.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
void writePascalTriangle(char *fileName, int heightOfTriangle, int **triangle) {
FILE *fp;
fp=fopen("writePascalTriangle.txt", "w");

I'm making a system like twitter for class called ShoutOut.com I want to be able to get the PublicShoutOut pointer pointed to by the start iterator and assign it to firstShoutOutToDisplay and secondShoutOutToDisplay because I need that in order to pass the pointers to one of my functions. When I step through the debugger the values in start are all default values like "" and so are the values in this->firstShoutOutToDisplay but the message that start points to is being output just fine.
EDIT: got rid of irrelevant code. Am I using the correct syntax to do this?
if (start != finish) {
//getting these because a shoutout needs to be passed to the function that displays
//options for a shoutout
this->firstShoutoutToDisplay = (*start);

I have a function:
const void insertStuff(const void *key, const int value){
// I want to convert the void pointer into one
// of three types of pointers(int, string, or double)
switch(value){
case 0:
int *intPtr = key;
[Code] .....
But this causes an error of: "crosses initialization of int*intPtr"
What's the correct way of implementing this?

#include <stdarg.h>

This is a sample program that declares a Matrix as a structure with an array as a pointer to a pointer. The following program is supposed to store a matrix in the structure "_Matrix" and later print the matrix just entered but it fails giving me a "segmentation fault". The sample code is given below
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
struct _Matrix {
int row_size;
int col_size;

i really don't know why has a error in my code, that pass a pointer of pointer (name of a matrix with 2 dimensions). Here is the source code of a simple example where appears segmentation fault when execute (but compiles normal):
#include <stdio.h>
#define LINHAS 3
#define COLUNAS 5
float a[LINHAS][COLUNAS];
void zeros(float **p,float m, float n){
int i,j;

I am trying to print a matrix solution that I've stored in a vector of doubles. The original matrix was stored in a vector of vector of doubles. I want to print to the screen and an output file. Right now it just prints to screen column-style and the output file is horizontal-style. I tried to change the solution from vector of doubles to a vector of vector of doubles like the original matrix but when I run my code it crashes. Here is what I am referring to:
void readMatrix(vector<vector<double>> &matrix, vector<double> &b, int &N, string input) {
ifstream in(input);
in >> N;
matrix.resize(N);
b.resize(N);
[Code] ....
However when I change my printResult function to this (I removed the string argument because I just want to get it working to the screen first):
void printResult(vector<vector<double>> &sol, const int N) {
//ofstream out(output);
//int j;
for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < N; j++){
[Code] ....
The program crashes. Am I even printing the matrix correctly?
