C :: Have One Line Of Input Trigger Actions?
Nov 26, 2013
I want the phrase "BUY TICKET" to trigger something, i'm thinking an if statement, and then assign the number after the phrase to another variable. There will also be other commands entered from the input file such as "BUY RAFFLE' "TOTAL REVENUE" on the following lines. Sounds like I need to compare a string(?) to a constant phrase, and if they match have it run the specific code?
Code:
//scan in from file
fscanf(ifp, "%c", &input);
if (input == 'BUY TICKET'){
//Run this
}
How to do it using the tools in C.

The issue is that I am trying to run a code which can trigger different timers at the same time. That is, when 3 is typed by the user, the firstimer is triggered. If before expiration another 3 is introduced, the second timer will be launched, and the difference between both triggers will be shown. Under this circumstance, timer_gettime only works once. I tried all the things I could imagine but still, it_value_tv_sec and _nsec return zero after the first expiration.
-Theoretically, and following the manuals, once the timer is restarted the gettime function should work as it does the first time.
-I have also tried to removed the timer and start it again, but in this case the timers are still being triggered, but the gettime outputs(even the first time) are nonsense.
Here is the code I am testing: [CODE]#include<stdio.h>
Code:
#include<signal.h>
#include<time.h>
timer_t firstTimerID;
timer_t secondTimerID;
timer_t thirdTimerID;
[Code] ......

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 am looking for direction on what topic I should be reading up on. I am new to C++ and Windows MFC.
This is my real world problem, in the context of the application user. (these term do not refer to OPP concepts)
I want to create shapes (containers) in an application that will respond and collect other objects;
Imagine a Windows frame, containing several 2 dimensional squares. I want to be able to drag and drop marbles into the squares,and have the square retain and display the marbles in the square, in the order that they were dropped in.
How do I create the shapes, and how will the square sense when a marble is over it?
How would I create irregular shapes (a combination of lines and curves) that would be responsive to the marbles?

Write a user-friendly C++ program that allows a user to select repeatedly an operation to be performed from a displayed menu of actions. The menu includes the following items:
1. Simple Statistics
2. Vector Addition
3. Dot Product
4. Exit
The menu actions are described by the following points:
Simple Statistics: This action includes finding the average, and standard deviation of a list of data items. The option should allow the user to specify the name of a file from which the data are read into an array. All the results of this option are displayed on the screen.
Vector Addition: This action allows the user to enter the name of a file from which two vectors, V1 and V2, of equal size N are read. Accordingly, the two vectors are added, and displayed along with the resultant vector on the screen. Your program should check that the two added vectors are of the same size. Otherwise, the program should display a message and allow the user to make another choice from the menu.
Dot Product: This action is similar to the Vector Addition in terms of input, output, and checking validity of the vector operands.
Exit: This action terminates the program.
Your program should include at least the following functions:
1. A function, called ReadVector(), which reads a vector of any size from a given file name, and returns the vector and its size to the caller. The function prototype is defined as follows:
void ReadVector(double V[], int &size, ifstream infile);
2. A function, called DisplayMenu(), which displays the menu and returns the user’s choice as an integer value between 1 and 4. The function prototype is defined as follows:
int DisplayMenu (void);
3. A function, called VectorAdd(), which performs the addition of two vectors, A and B, and returns the resultant vector, C. The function prototype is defined as follows:
void VectorAdd(const double A[], const double B[], double C[], int size);
The sum of two vectors, A = (a1, a2, …, an) and B = (b1, b2, …, bn) of size n, is defined as: C = A + B.
Where, C = (c1, c2, …, cn), and ci = ai + bi, for1 i n .
4. A function, called DotProduct(), which performs the dot product of two vectors, A and B, and returns the result. The function prototype is defined as follows:
void DotProduct(const double A[], const double B[], int size, double &result);
The dot-product of two vectors A = (a1, a2, …, an) and B = (b1, b2, …, bn) of size n is defined as
n n
n
i
i i b a ....... b a b a b a B . A
1 1 2 2
1
5. A function, called Simple_Stat(), which finds the maximum, minimum, average, and standard deviation of a list of data items passed to it by a one-dimensional array. The function returns the average and standard deviation values. The function prototype is defined as follows:
void Simple_Stat(const double list[], int size, double &average, double
&std_dev);

Here's my code, it's for a poker hand evaluator
input:
'ad 2d 3d 4d 5d...

I think it should go through all the 10 crads and disply the name of each card, but it seems to only do it for the second hand
Code:
include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
int main( void ) {
char inputtedhand[64];
int z=0, counter=0;
int index;
int i=0,m=0,n=0;

I have three questions concerning the below code I have written, which is expected to do basically as the attached diagram illustrates:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
double getAverageGrade(int studentGrades[] , int size);
int* getStudentInfo(int * numCourses);
int main()
[Code] ...
(1) How may I display the averages to 2 decimal places, namely why doesn't %.2lf work? The program gives 89.00 for 89 and 90, for instance.
(2) How may I read the number of courses and the relevant grades in a row for each student?
(3) How may I free (de-allocate) my array of pointers, namely grades? Does it suffice to use free(grades)?

I'm new to C/C++. I am attemping to use fgets and sscanf to read a line of input, and confirm it is a positive number.My code works great, except for the case of a negative number. When I enter a negative number, my while loop seems to run infinitely, with stdin providng the same input over and over again.
Here's the code snippet:
Code:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#define TEXT_LEN 64
void foo() {
char* inStr = (char*)malloc(sizeof(char)*TEXT_LEN);
memset(inStr, 0, TEXT_LEN);
}

I've been stuck on this for hours, and have scoured the internet for any insight on this particular issue with no luck.
I'll simplify the problem here. I have a lines in an input file:
John Smith 1234 Main St New York
Carol Thomas 5678 5th Ave Columbus
...
and I am reading into character arrays using code like this:
infile.getline(name,20);
infile.getline(street,15);
infile.getline(city,10);
but when I print the output using something like this:
outfile << "Owner Name: " << name << endl;
outfile << "Address: " << street << city << endl;
(let's pretend I included spaces between the address components, which I omitted to save space)
I get an output file of:
Owner Name: John Smith
Address:
The output stops after the name variable, which I believe is stored correctly. I don't think anything is storing in the address pieces, this is the problem.
I think it's because I'm not using getline() properly in this case. Can you string together multiple getline()s like that?
If this was my design, I'd read in strings instead, but that is not possible in this case.

I want the numbers to be put into the array until it hits a new line. Maximum number of numbers is 1000. What can I replace that while loop with to stop it from reading further into the input file?
Code:
while (input != '

for(i=0; i<1000; i++)
fscanf(ifp, "%lf", &auctions_prices[i]);

I want to be able to write a program where I can record user input but combine it with command line arguments. For example I do a simple getline(); and the user types test how to combine it so it could be like test /q and it gives a different output depending on what additional input was added. Can this be done with lots of different inputs?

I'm trying to create a program that takes an integer input and displays each digit on a new line from right to left.
An example of this would be:
Enter an integer: 657
Digit (1): 7
Digit (2): 5
Digit (3): 6
So far I have this:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int main() {
int i, input, output;
printf("Enter an integer: ");
scanf("%d", &input);
if(input == 0)
printf("Digit (1): 0");
[Code] ....
It works perfectly fine, but I just learned that I am not allowed to use the #include <math.h> so I have to take out floor, log, and pow.
I'm pretty sure I have to do some sort of while or for loop to get the results, but how to do it.

How to get this thing to work. All i need to do is ask user to input a name and then it brings out the line from the .txt file containing the information.
For example in my case I'm doing a member search function I'm required to ask user to input the name of the customer and then print out all the details (which consumes 1 text line in the .txt file)
Here is the code, This is the write to text file method (100% working)
Code:
cout << "Customer Name: ";
cin >> name;
// ...
ofstream myfile("customer.txt", ios::app);

1) The first complain of valgrind is at the line where I use fgets and its telling me (invalid write of size x), but I have allocated my line to 56000 and the read line is shorter, why is there a write size error then :S?
2) at the line where I realloc where I try to shrink the space he's telling me: Address .... is 0 bytes inside a block of size 56000, But I know i need only this space so why is there a write over space error :S??
