C :: How To Initialize Variable Word In Separate Statement From Its Declaration

Aug 7, 2013

I wrote the following program to initialize a string after the variables is declared, but it isn't working. A warning is given by the compiler, and the execution of the program shows a strange string. How do I initialize variable word in a separate statement from its declaration?

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
int main( void )
{
char word[20];
*word = "Hello";

printf( "The string is %s.
", word );
return 0;
}

C++ :: How To Initialize Structures After Declaration

Aug 4, 2012

I would like to write a program that prompts the user to enter a series of client names which the program will then store in an array of structures. I'm thinking something along the lines of:

struct sInfo {
vector<string> vName;
float fClientHoldings;
};
sInfo sClientData[100]; //create an array of structures for up to 100 client's
sClientData[0].vName="Acme"; //these will be inputted by the user in my program, but I've attempted to initialize them here for simplification
sClientData[1].vName="Enron";

I can't declare a structure array after I declare it. Is this true? If so, is there an alternate approach that I should be using?

C++ :: Read Story From Input File / Separate Words And Output Lines On Which The Word Occurs

Feb 21, 2014

I have program that is supposed to read in a story from an input file and separate the words and output the lines on which the word occurs. It needs to read in another input file that has a list of words (1 per line) to ignore. i.e. skip them when running through the story. This is what I have so far, I've changed multiple things trying to get it running....

#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>
#include<map>
#include<set>
#include<vector>
#include<string>
#include"split.h"

[Code] .....

C++ :: Initialize A Variable In Order To Run Loop At Least Once

Apr 4, 2013

I've been messing around with loops/functions and basic logic and come up with a small maths program. Here it is:

Code: #include <iostream>
#include <string>
float divide (float x, float y) //function to divide numbers {
return x / y;

[Code] ....

Would initializing the string 'anotherGo' to a value that makes the loop run at least once be a suitable way of doing this rather than using a do/while loop? I read that a do/while loop is a black sheep but I have come across a number of uses for it. Maybe it is just preference which one you should/could use?

C :: How To Initialize A Variable That Is Not A Letter Or Number

Feb 25, 2014

In C how can I initialize a variable that is not a letter or number? For example with a number I can :

Code:

int i = 5;
for ( i = 0; i <=5; i++ );
printf( "%d", i ) This would display a row of 5's

but what if I wanted to display a row of -----? What I am trying to do is read in a simple txt file, around the file I want ----1----2-----3 ect ect on the top ----a----b-----c down the side Then I want to be able to change the file at lets say position c2 and save it. This is the early stages of my attempt to set up a editable table.

C :: Initialize A Pointer Variable With A Knowing Address?

Dec 28, 2013

I need to initialize a pointer variable with a knowing address. See code below, ptr is the final destination and value of ptr_address contains the address value, so I need to do something like ptr = *ptr_address.

Code:

int *ptr;
int *ptr_address;
int address;
address = 0x10000005;
ptr_address = &(address);
ptr = *ptr_address;

The problem is that compiler gives the following warning message:

warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast [enabled by default]

Is my code wrong or there is any other way to do it without receiving this compiler warning?

C/C++ :: Declare And Initialize A Pointer To Variable Int Cost

[#include<stdio.h>
int main() {
int a; // Step 1
int *ptr; // Step 2
a = cost; // Step 3
ptr = &a; // Step 4

C :: Declaration And Definition Of A Variable

May 11, 2013

I read that Memory is allocated during definition of a variable and not during declaration. Declaration is something like,

Code: int x;

And definition is assigning some value to it. This is what my professor taught. My doubt is if memory is not allocated during declaration, then how the compiler successfully compiles and runs the following, which i had already tried.

Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main() {
int c;
int *p=&c;
printf("%x",p);
getch();
return 0;
}

The variable c is only declared. But the program outputs a memory address. Shouldn't it show an error?

C/C++ :: If Statement To Check Matching Word To Pointer Address Value

Jan 3, 2015

I'm having an issue coming up with an if() statement to check if a word match the one in the value of a pointer's address. So far the best I've come up with only matches the first letter of the words, you'll find it in the code below.

#include"Header.h"
int Colour(struct MyStruct *ArrayPointer, int ArraySize) //ArraySize = 3 for this run. {
int ColourCount = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < ArraySize; i++) {

[Code] ....

An example run you can see in attached pic.

I want to have an if statement that only accepts "Red" and not the occasional "Ravaged_Anus".

I'm using MVS Express 2013, .c source files, and the C++ compiler.

C :: Declaration And Definition Of External Variable

Jan 11, 2014

Why I take warning on this code :

Code:
#include<stdio.h>
extern int v = 0; // Declaration and definition of an external
int main(void)

[code]...

Is there any error? Why I take a warning: 'v' initialized and declared 'extern'|||=== Build finished: 0 errors, 1 warnings ===| ???

and what is the meaning of :An extern declaration that initializes a variable serves as a definition of the variable. This rule prevents multiple extern declarations from initializing a variable in different ways.

C++ :: Difference Between Variable Declaration Inside And Outside For Loop

Sep 10, 2013

What is difference (memory allocation or any) between declaring a variable inside or outside the variable

program1:

#include<stdio.h>
int main() {
int i;
for (i=0;i=<100;i++) {

[Code] .....

Difference b/w program1 and program2. Its look both are same. but my compiler shows something difference.

C++ :: T Minus Loops - Variable Index Declaration

Apr 25, 2014

(while)

T minus 10 and counting
T minus 9 and counting
T minus 8 and counting
T minus 7 and counting
T minus 6 and counting
T minus 5 and counting
T minus 4 and counting
T minus 3 and counting
T minus 2 and counting
T minus 1 and counting

Declare the following index before the while loop:

int index = 10;

Correctly code a while statement below using the variable index as defined above, to produce the output shown above.

So this is what my code looks like... I also have to convert this same loop into a do while and for loop. So if I can get this one right I think the others should come relatively easy.

while (int index >= 10) {
cout << "T minus " << index;
index--;
}

C/C++ :: Local Variable Declaration - While Loop Expression

Feb 3, 2013

I got the following lines of code from a book. The variable char c is being used here to demonstration local variable declaration.

  while(char c = cin.get() != 'q') {
    cout << c << " wasn't it" << endl;
    if(char x = c == 'a' || c == 'b')
      cout << "You typed a or b" << endl;
    else
      cout << "You typed " << x << endl;
  }

It compiles and runs. There are two issues when I try to run it.

1) It seems to loop through two times for every entry. If I insert cin.ignore() just before the closing bracket, it seems to work better.

2) the variable c does not seem to have the character I entered when examined in the if statement.

What is happening with the variable c inside the while loop scope?

Does c actually get initialized?

C :: String Declaration As Global / Main Local Variable

Nov 14, 2013

When a declare a string e.g.

Code:
char str[30]; as a global variable, the srting is initialized to NULL.

But if I declare char str1[30] INSIDE main(), then the string has garbage inside.... Why this happens??

E.g. the following code snippet...

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
char str[50];
int main(){
char str1[50];

C++ :: Variable Declaration (const Pointer To SensorBase Object)?

Feb 19, 2015

I'm having to do a little c++ (coming from java) and don't understand the syntax of the following declaration

Code:
SensorBase* const sensor(mSensors[i]);

It looks like it's declaring a const pointer to a SensorBase object but I don't understand how that applies to sensor(mSensors[i]) which looks like a function??

C/C++ :: If Statement Only Evaluates With Intermediate Variable

Jul 10, 2014

Odd problem.

if (n <= a.size())
{
evaluates false, despite n being -1 and a.size() (where a is a std::map) being 2913
int test = a.size();
if (n <= test)
{

evaluates true. why does the first one not work?
