Having a little trouble passing arguments to functions.
I wrote this simple program to get the hang of it but I'm quite stuck. I'm sure you will be able to get at what i want the program to do...
Code:
#include <conio.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <windows.h>
void menu(int HP,int Gold,int Armour);

I have a program that is working very well when I pass C++ vectors as arguments to my functions by reference, but I get some compilation errors when try to make a modification. I am also posting the entire program and its output below. so that you can see what is going on. I have commented out the line that causes an error.(Some of the indentation that got corrupted when I copied the code to the browser.)
This program basically calculates the coefficients of a least square polynomial and then evaluates this polynomial at artificial data points and verifies that this actually reproduces the original data within reasonable floating point error.
The function that computes the coefficients of the least square polynomial is Code: vector<double> LSPVecValued_GSL( const int, const vector<float> &, const vector<float> &); and as you can see it returns a vector by value, and this vector contains the coefficients of the least square polynomial.
There is also a function that evaluates this polynomial by accepting a vector argument by reference : Code: float evaluate_polynomial(double, vector<double>& ) ; I have also created another version of the evaluation function which accepts the same vector argument by value: Code: float evaluate_polynomial_ByValue(double t, vector<double> vec_a) ; In the program I call the first evaluation function (whose vector argument is passed by reference) by first using an intermediate vector variable containing the coefficients, and then I pass this vector as an argument to the evaluation function, as follows:
Code:
vec_a = LSPVecValued_GSL( deg, vec_x , vec_y);
for(int j=0; j< n ; j=j+20 ) {
cout<<"x["<<j<<"] = " << vec_x[j] << " ,y["<<j<<"] = " << vec_y[j] <<" , p(x["<<j<<"]) ( EVALUATED FROM REFERENCE) = "
<< evaluate_polynomial( vec_x[j], vec_a) << endl; // This version works without error
[Code] .....
As you can see above, I am also able to call the second evaluation function (the one whose vector argument is passed by value) directly by plugging in the function LSPVecValued_GSL"(...)" and this works without error, and this is a one step process, only one line of code is involved.
However, I get a compilation error (line number 12 that I have commented out above) if I try to plug in the function "LSPVecValued_GSL(...)" into the first evaluation function that expects a vector argument by reference. I tried to put a "&" in front ofLSPVecValued_GSL but this did not fix the bug.
What syntax is appropriate to use the first evaluation function (which accepts a vector argument by reference) if I want to plug in the vector-valued function LeastSquarePolynomial_GSL directly in the the first version of the evaluation function which expects a vector argument by reference?
I have a 1wire program from maxim running in visual studio. There is this argument in the main function that requires the com port to be specified the command line. If I do pass it as "COM1" the program works as expected.
I don't want to depend on having to pass "COM1" in the command line and into main. I've tried creating a string for COM1 and passing it right into the if function but it doesn't work.
Code:
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
int len, addr, page, answer, i;
int done = FALSE;
SMALLINT bank = 1;
uchar data[552];
[Code] .....
I know that passing arguments by const instead of value is more efficient and allows us to avoid allocating a temporary local variable of the argument type. But is this always true? Or are there some cases when calling functions with constant arguments should be avoided? If so, is passing by pointer the most efficient way?

I'm having some problems with a function. The function is supposed to find the two largest values in an array.
Code:
void find_two_largest( const int *a, int n, int *largest, int *second_largest){
largest = a;
int temp;
second_largest = a;
for ( int i = 1; i < n; i++){
if (*(a + i) > *largest){
temp = *largest;
[Code]....
I don't see any mistake with the code of the function, but when I try to call it inside my program it only returns 0 for both largest and second_largest.
Code:
int *find_middle( int *a, int n);
void find_two_largest(const int *a, int n, int *largest, int *second_largest);
int main()
{
int n;
[Code]...
Do I have to declare the variables largest and second_largest as normal integer variables and then pass their addresses as arguments to find_largest or is that incorrect?
Code:
void Class1::Func(shared_ptr<type1> parameter)
{
}
or
void Class1::Func(const shared_ptr<type1>& parameter)
{
}
or
Should I ever pass arguments/parameters to other objects using shared_ptr's or raw pointers?
Write a function write with variable number of arguments that takes a string first argument followed by any number of arguments of type double and prints on the screen a string formatted by the rules described below. The first argument may contain formats in curly braces of the form {index[:specifier]}, where the square brackets show optional parts (this is :specifier may be missing), and index is the sequence number of an argument of type double (starting from sequence number 0).
Rules for formatting: In the printed string the curly brackets and their content will be replaced by the argument with the given index, formatted according to the given format specifier. If the format specifier is missing, the argument will be printed with its default format. For example:
write("The number {0} is greater than {1}.", 5, -3);
will print
The number 5 is greater than -3.
write("There are no format specifiers here.");
will print
There are no format specifiers here.
The format specifiers and their meanings are listed in the following table
Specifier MeaningFormat Output for 1.62 Output for 2.0
none default {0}1.62 2
ccurrency{0:c}$1.62 $2.00
escientific{0:e}1.620000e+000 2.000000e+000
ffixed point{0:f}1.620000 2.000000
iround to int{0:i}2 2
Limitations: You may limit the maximum number of arguments your function can process to a certain value, for example 10.
Suggested extensions:
-Add an optional alignment specification in the format , e.g., make the format of the form {index[,alignment][:specifier]}, where alignment is an integer specifying the width of the field in which the corresponding argument will be printed. If alignment is positive, align to the right, if it is negative, align to the left.
-Accept an optional integer after the specifier letter, specifying the required precision in the output. For example, {0:f2} will print the number 1.6234 as 1.62, but {0:f5} will print it as 1.62340.
How to pass arguments from other functions to main. i want to write a program like nano well not exactly like nano editor. I have a function f_read(char* filename[]), and fopen() get filename[1] as file name and *filename[2] as "r" read mode and rest of the code will read from a file.
I want is this char filename[] to main(int argc , char argv[])
how can i do that??
I am using visual studio 2012 and i pass three command line arguments as 10 20 30 and when i m compile the program get error.....
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
main(int n,char **p) {
int sum=0,i;
if(n>=2)
[Code] .....
Suppose if i write a test program like
Code:
void function1(unsigned int var1);
int main(void) {
function1(-3);
}
void function1(unsigned int var1) {
printf("%d", var1);
}
The output is -3. how it happens the argument is unsigned but iam passing signed but still prints the signed value. My bigger question is how the arguments are handled if the passing parameters are different types compared to declaration.
There are, or course, better ways to do this, but I need to stick to some rules:
(1) Use only pointer variables and not arrays or structs.
(2) Use the three functions shown--regardless of easier methods.
The program should ask for some input, operate on those numbers, and then display the results. I know I am confused over these things:
(1) All that syntax using '*' and '&' or neither.
(2) How to use the char type correctly.
(3) How to use a char type input as an operator (a + b).
(4) How to use the pointer of the operator variable (+,-,*,/) in an actual equation.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
// *** Prototype Functions ***
void Post_Results (float*);
void Calculate (float*, float*, char*, float*);
void Get_Numbers (float*, char*, float*);

#include <stdio.h>

int size_b_col1;
int main(void) {
double C[4][4] = {{1,3,5,2},{7,6,2,2},{1,2,7,3},{2,3,5,3}};
double TC[4][4];
transpose(C, TC);
[Code] ......
forget everything from before. It came out of confusion regard the supplier functions. dis_s() and read_s() the part functions work and are not any different really.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#define MPS 10 //Max Part Size
#define MSS 10 //Max Supplier Size
}
[code]....
when I run the dis_s() function it just prints out garbage until it segments. starts with a bunch of 0 and newlines until it starts printing locations on my computer...... it worked on campus with debian and I only copied it from gmail to my computer so I really don't understand whats up(im on mint).
I have been struggling with pointers. I am trying to write a program that first asks a user to input a filename. It then checks if the file exists and if it does it passes a pointer to the next function. The next function then asks the user for a specific word to look for and the function will search a text file for the word and do some other operations. My problem is that I do not understand how to use the pointer returned by my first function as an input to another function.
The following code has the first function file_check() and the second function word_search() which I think the way I am declaring it is the problem.
Code:
FILE *file_check();
void word_search(FILE *);
int
main(void) {
FILE* check= file_check();
// word_search(check);

i have a program that works, but now I am trying to get function1() to work. What it has to do is bring in the array and populate it with random letters. I don't know much about functions.
Code:

#include<time.h>
#define maxrow 20 //defines maxrow as a constant of 20
#define maxcol 30 //defines maxcol as a constant of 30

I think i am getting confused with passing structs and functions all in the same...When I run through the program (it compiles), the functions that add coins do not add, but rather just replace an old value with a new one.
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
struct coinbox {

I am trying to get some confirmation about how to pass to functions. If you want to assign default values to certain parameters, and have others defined inside the body of int main(), then the parameters which will have default values go at the end of the list. Is that correct?
i.e. The following code is wrong, because we cannot leave a black in the function call on the third line of the main function. However, if we switch the prototype to void Passing (int a, int c, int b = 1); and the function definition to void Passing (int a , int c, int b) everything will be okay and we can call the function as Passing (a, c).
In brief, we cannot do this EVER:
Passing( a, , c)right?

I've got a game engine with a line-trace collision method which returns the first object it hits. I'd like to be able to pass it a class-type so that it can ignore objects of other types.
consider this pseudo-code:
Entity* TraceEntity( const Vec3f& LineStart, const Vec3f& LineEnd, const Type atype ) {
// check collision on entities, ignore entities of type 'atype'.
// return whatever it finds
}
I'd like to do this without template classes because it will result in a significant bloat in executable size every time I decided to trace for a new entity type (I've really developed a distaste for templates for this reason)
using type_info only checks for an object's deepest subclass, so it won't work for class C : public B : public A if I'm looking for classes of type B.
I need passing some variables between functions. Here is the first part of the code which does work.
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
struct CarType {
string maker;
[Code] ....
Now the book says to take the following program and add a member function to the CarType class which prints the values of all of its data members. Add two more data members which are relevant for cars. Add the use of these data members to the program (to the assignment statements for MyCar, to the operator prompt and input inside the getYourCar function, and to the print function you have created).
Here is my code. Whenever I run it, it takes my assigned variables in MyCar and prints those instead of the one which the user is inputting.
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
using namespace std;
struct CarType {
string maker;

I am trying to pass input file between two functions. The code compiles but immediately upon running the program, there is a "bad cast" run time error.
My average is failing but I played and played with it and I still keep crashing.

void getScore(int score[], int NumGrades)
{
cout<<"How many grades do you need to enter?"<<endl;
cin >> NumGrades;
cout<<"Enter the Students Grade(s)"<<endl;
for (int i=0; i<NumGrades; i++) {
cin >> score[i];

I keep getting a linker error on every function. what am I doing wrong?
What this is, is a more recent assignment and my question is if my errors are directly related to passing structure addresses to functions. I've tried several syntax variations at the beginning of my loops such as this one:
while (choice != "Q" || "q")
But the loops will not run since I introduce polar to rectangular and the choice element. My last working code was rectangular to polar and all of it worked fine.
#include<iostream>

using namespace std;
//structure declarations
struct polar
