C++ :: How To Criticize Code And Test It For Efficiency
Jan 12, 2015
- When I need to code something, what is the process I should go through to design any algorithm(s), and solve the problem in the most efficient/flexible way? At the moment, I just think up a way of solving it and if it works I will use the code in my current project, but as I have found out from some of my larger projects, this definitely is not the way to go!
- How can I criticize my own code? Again, if I write some code that works I'll keep it. Go through the code and look out for optimizations or refactor the code? Which leads to my last question...
- How can I test my code for efficiency? What are the best ways of testing algorithms (etc) that I have added to see if they are fast enough? Of course, it will probably involve some kind of timer, but how will I be able to tell if X milliseconds is a good enough time?

I'm learning OpenGL 3.2+ with GLFW and GLEW.
I'm learning it through this series of tutorials [URL] but when I run the first code:
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <GL/glfw.h>
#define GLEW_STATIC
#include <GL/glew.h>
int main() {
glfwInit();
glewExperimental = GL_TRUE;
[code]....
(Then i have the glew.h that is about 17000 lines of code)
I get this errors:
c:archivos de programacodeblocksmingwin..libgccmingw324.7.1........includeGLglew.h|84|error: #error gl.h included before glew.h|
c:archivos de programacodeblocksmingwin..libgccmingw324.7.1........includeGLglew.h|1793|error: 'GLchar' does not name a type|
c:archivos de programacodeblocksmingwin..libgccmingw324.7.1........includeGLglew.h|1804|error: 'GLchar' has not been declared|
[code]....
What I'm doing wrong?

How can I check how much memory my program is using? I have an assignment which asks me to make sure I'm not exceeding some amount of memory but I don't know how I'd do that on Windows 7.
Also, my program parses through a text file and puts each word in a vector so that I can later go through the vector and "locate" where the nth occurrence of a word is by keeping track of a counter and incrementing the counter each time I see the word in the vector. Is this a vector a bad data structure for this? I'm aiming at keeping the efficiency at less than O(n^2).

I'm trying to basically have a user input the amount of test they want averaged, then have the user input the test scores. Send the test scores to a function and have them ordered in ascending then send it to another function that averages it. When I wrote the function I keep getting the address back instead of the actual values.
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
void arrSelectSort( int* [], int);
void arrAverage(int);
[Code] .....

I am new to C# and just want to understand if an entire Test Automation Framework can be built using only C#. I would not want any dependency on available commercial tools in the market for executing the Test Action steps. Though a few points that i see will need to be taken care of at the onset.
1. creating and maintaining Object repository in some form of file extension
2. preparing a GUI for capturing user Test Action Steps
3. retrieving the respective test objects from Object Repository and firing the respective Action commands on those objects
4. handling test data within the Automation Framework Solution folder.
I have been exploring a series of blogs and found that point # 2 and 4 are achievable. However points 1 & 3 above looks a big challenge.

I have a file system class that has a struct named Node declared private as so:
class FileSys{
private:
struct Node {
Node* next;
Node* prev
Node* parent;
int key;
[Code] ....
But how would I get to the Node struct? I tried to do this in the main but of course I received an error:
FileSys FS_Obj;
FS_Obj Node* T = new Node;
With errors:
Error: expected ; before Node
Error: Statement has no effect

I am currently trying to write a test program involving constructors. I know what I am about to ask is pretty basic stuff but Visual Studio is not recognizing when I declare strings for some reason. My code isn't completed yet but as I am typing string in to declare the variable in the class Visual Studio is not recognizing string as a usable value.
Code below:
#include <cassert>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
class college {
[Code] .....
Like I said... this is completely unfinished I just need to understand why my strings aren't being recognized.

I was doing a side programming challenge in my workbook that asked me to dynamically allocate and array for test scores. So far I have an array that will accept an integer to allocate the amount of test scores and then will accept integers to populate the array, however when I try to cout the contents of the array the numbers are absurdly different than what was put in. Here's my code:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void main() {
cout << "How many test scores?" << endl;
int scores(0);
[Code] ....
And this is the output screen:
How many test scores?
4
Enter test score 1:
22
Enter test score 2:
33
Enter test score 3:
44
Enter test score 4:
55
-33686019
18472
55656634
201345063
Press any key to continue . . .
Why am I getting these crazy numbers? I've looked back and forth from examples in my book and it doesn't look like I'm doing anything wrong.

I'm trying to test if a character is a vowel. I made a separate function for the test, I'm not really sure how to get my return value to output whenever I call the function from main?
Also, I'm not good with while loops and can't figure out how to get it to continue asking whether or not the user wants to keep entering values.
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
bool isVowel(bool);
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
char var1, cont;

I am working on a program that calculates the average of a list of test scores entered, with the list ended with a negative score (which is not calculated), as long as a user enters a name.
#include<iostream>
#include<string>
using namespace std;
int main() {
string name;
double score = 0.0; //user input score
[code]....
I have gotten the while loop to function. The problem lies in the calculation in the average of the test scores, such as when I enter the scores 87 76 90 -1 , which is supposed to give an average of 84.3 but my result when outputted is 86. what the problem is and what I can do to fix this error?

My assignment is to make a program that tests whether something is a Palindrome or not using a recursive function. Also, in order to test what type the Palindrome is (if it is indeed a palindrome) I'll need to merge sort it. Now alphabet characters, spaces, and numbers are all allowed, as long as the spaces line up with the spaces in the original input. And yes this is user inputted. I can show you what I've got so far and then I'll tell you what my problem is.
#include <iostream>
#include <istream>
#include <string>
#include <string.h>
#include <conio.h>
using namespace std;
/************To Test if Palindrome*******************/
bool IsPalindrome(char *str, int size) {
if( str[0] == str[size-1]);
[Code] .....
Now my problem is that I can't seem to get the test to work correctly. Since the word is user inputted I don't have any way of knowing the size so that kind of complicates it a little bit. The other thing is I was told by my professor that I need a boolean flag to make it work, and I need to set the value to the return of the IsPalindrome function. I'm not sure how to do that. I also don't haven't been able to add in the MergeSort yet, so the Order and Type don't really work correctly because I'm not sure how to get int len for it. (len is length)

I was asked to create a C++ program that allows a user to take a test with series of different questions, and also retake the test if they choose to. I have been able to do that. But the other condition is to display the highest and lowest scores (highest and lowest correct answers) the user got, and in which test they got that score. For example, if the user takes the test 3 times, in which test did they get the highest score, and in which did they get the lowest score.
This is how far I went with the program. The code below only let the user take the test as much as they want, and tell them how many times they took it, and the last score they had. My idea is this, if I can make a variable store each test score, then I can compare them. But since there is no definite number of tests to be taken.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
void main() {
int correct = 0;
int wrong = 0;

Is there a quick way to determine if a value is in an enum? Consider for example,
public enum GenderEnum
{
Unknown = 0,
[Code].....
I don't want to convert to an array if possible, just check the enum and get a yes/no answer.

I am running a unit test on a library and this line keeps failing on Fedora 16, G++ 4.6.2
Code:
assertNAN(double, std::numeric_limits<double>::signaling_NaN()); //sanity check
The assert looks like this
Code:
//needs to copy it so that if its a function call it only does it once
#define assertNAN(type, one) {
type val = (type)one;
std::string lag(#one);
lag += " not a number";
[Code] ...
I am compiling with -DNDEBUG -O3 -ffast-math -fexpensive-optimizations to simulate a production environment. Is there a way to test for NAN consistently?

The below program is supposed to display the contents of all files listed in the command line. When I try to run the program I get the fatal error "Debug Assertion Failed" Expression: file != NULL. I've done some researching on the matter and I gather it might be because I don't have any files listed in the command line?
How to enter files in the command line! I opened the Command Window in Windows XP and tried typing in "C> argc" and "% argc" (argc being the name of the file containing the below program) without any luck.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main (int argc, char * argv[]) {
int ch; // int to hold EOF
int count;
FILE *fp;
for(count = 1; count <= argc; count++) // agrc loop
[Code]...

Write a program that prompts for and reads in test scores. You may assume that valid test scores will be integer values between 0 and 100. You may also assume that the user will not enter more than 35 test scores. Use a preprocessor directive to define this value. User input will be complete when the user enters a -1 for the test score. When all of the test scores have been entered, the program will print out the scores. Use a while or do-while loop to read in the values. Use a for loop to print out the values.
Sample output:
Enter test score 1: 88
Enter test score 2: 67
Enter test score 3: 74
Enter test score 4: 94
Enter test score 5: 79
Enter test score 6: 56
Enter test score 7: -1
Number of scores entered: 6
Test scores entered : 88 67 74 94 79 56
