C++ :: Pointers To Array Of Structs

Feb 14, 2013

I have an assignment where I need to use pointers to do a few things and I am a little confused on the syntax of it all. My question is how do you use a pointer to point to an array of structs.

For example

struct info{
char firstName[15];
char lastName[15];
};
main() {
info person[4];
cout << "The third letter of the second persons first name is: "; // ?????
}

how would I define a pointer to point to the third letter of first name the second person in the "person" array.

C :: Array Of Structures And Passing Pointers To Structs

Feb 24, 2013

Background: I'm writing a convolutional encoder (and decoder, eventually) for a microprocessor (PIC24), for which I'm using structs and pointers to move from state to state. So far as I'm aware, everything I'm using in the PIC involves nothing other than ANSI C.

I have a little experience with structures, having written a linked-list program for a class a couple years back, but nothing since and never used structure arrays. I have the feeling I'm missing something basic here, which is what's so frustrating. The most confusing error (and I suspect the root of most of them) is the 'state undeclared', which I just can't figure.

The errors I'm getting are:

encoder.c:11: warning: 'struct memstate' declared inside parameter list
encoder.c:11: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want
encoder.c: In function 'state_init':
encoder.c:22: error: two or more data types in declaration specifiers
encoder.c:25: error: 'state' undeclared (first use in this function)
encoder.c:25: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

[Code]....

Code:

Code: //Includes
#include <stdlib.h>
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//Creates state machine and passes back pointer to 00 state
void state_init(struct memstate* startpoint)
{
extern struct memstate
{
char output0; //output if next input is 0

[code]...

NB: I'm aware that at the moment, this code will do nothing except spin round that do-while loop. Once it's actually compiling I'll drop in some simple button-based test code so it'll check for the correct output.

C/C++ :: Pointers And Structs

Dec 14, 2014

What the second print statement prints

main() {
struct s1{
char *str;
int i;
struct s1 *ptr;

[Code] .....

I executed the code and the output was some number(for second printf) but it should print a string.

C++ :: Memory Addresses Of Pointers To Structs

Apr 19, 2014

I have this struct declaration to create a linked list

struct node {
string y;
node* next;
};

If I create a linked list of 3 nodes

A->B->C->NULL

A->y is "a"
B->y is "b"
C->y is "c"

Since they are consecutive in memory. How far apart are the strings in memory?

I tried doing something like

int n = &(head->next->x)-&(head->x);

The problem is that I got 6 while debugging and 2 otherwise.

C++ :: Outputting Data From File Into Structs And Arrays Of Structs

Apr 15, 2013

I am having a lot of trouble being able to get data from a file and input it into given structs and arrays of structs and then outputting the file. We are given a file that contains 96 lines and looks like this:

Arzin, Neil
2.3 6.0 5.0 6.7 7.8 5.6 8.9 7.6
Babbage, Charles
2.3 5.6 6.5 7.6 8.7 7.8 5.4 4.5

This file continues for 24 different people and then repeats with different scores (the second line).
The first number, in this case is 2.3 for both people is a difficulty rating. The next 6 numbers are scores.

We are given this data in order to set up our structs and arrays and my code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;
int main () {
ifstream inFile;
inFile.open("C://diveData.txt);

C++ :: How To Qsort Array Of Structs By One Of Its Members

Mar 31, 2013

I am versed in qsorting struct members within a struct instance, as in the example below:

Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
using namespace std;
struct item_database {

[Code]....

What I CANT do however is to sort an array of structs by one of its members. This is a complete different problem even if it sounds similar.

In other words, the problem is this; Say we have a struct:

Code:
struct item_database {
int key;
string token;
};

Then we declare an array of this struct in the heap:

Code: item_database *idptr = new item_database[700000]; and initialize its values.

How would one go about sorting this heap array of structs by its member function "token"?

I used the following call to qsort (standard library) and call to the compare function but it doesnt work:

Code:
qsort (idptr, 1000, sizeof(string), compare);

Code: int compare (const void* a, const void* b){
if (*(char*)a >= *(char*)b)
return 1;
else
return -1;
}

Or in more lamens terms say we have the following stuct instances:
Key: Token:
1 Hello
2 World
3 How
4 Are
5 You

Then I need those structs to order according to token (alphabetically, increasing or decreasing depending whats in our compare function).....

C :: Passing A Pointer To Array Of Structs

Nov 20, 2013

what I am trying to do is to pass to a function the address of an array of structs, so I can later modify the items within the struct, within the array

Code:
typedef struct { //A struct of name auctionint bidder;float bid;} auction;
void myFunction (auction * auctionItem[]){(*aucItem[x]).bid = y;(*aucItem[x]).bidder = z;}
int main(){auction theItems[10];
myFunction(theItems);} Where x, y, and z can be any number.

When I try to run my code the IDE (I'm using Code::Blocks 12.11) does not give me any errors, but it does give me a warning:

warning: passing argument 3 of '<function name>' from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]

and the note:

note: expected 'struct <struct name> **' but argument is of type 'struct <struct name> *'.Also, when I run the program, it will crash and return garbage.

C :: Adding Elements To Array Of Structs

Mar 6, 2015

I have a structure product_array *pa that contains a pointer *arr to an array of structs and count that adds 1 when a new product is added (set to NULL initially). I have to write a function which adds a new product entry to that array. One product entry has *title, *code, stock and price parameters. The array is dynamically allocated and I’m supposed to:

1. Reallocate space for array.
2. Update product_array.
3. Initialize it.

Also, code should be truncated to 7 characters.Products can be added multiple times, so the initial size is unknown.

Code:

void add_product(struct product_array *pa, const char *title, const char *code, int stock, double price)
{
for (int i = 0 ;; i++){
pa->arr = realloc(pa->arr, sizeof(struct product_array));

C/C++ :: Scanning CSV File Into Array Of Structs

Mar 18, 2015

I need to scan a .csv file that contains the following info:

programming,03,60,141,01,W,2015
programming,03,60,141,30,W,2015
Algebra,03,62,102,02,S,2013
Religion,08,98,938,20,F,2014

So i made a struct:

typedef struct CourseInfo {
int courseID;
char courseName[50];
char courseCode[13];
char term[7];
} courseinfo;

Where course code is the 4 numbers after the name together and the term is the letter and year in the last two pieces of info. I got this to work:

int main() {
FILE *p;
p = fopen("input.csv", "r+");
if(p == NULL) {
puts("The file could not be opened");

[Code] ......

But lets say i dont know how many lines i have in my file and i want to count them and then use that size for my array so i tried this by:

int main() {
FILE *p;
int lines = 1;
char ch;
p = fopen("input.csv", "r+");
if(p == NULL) {

[Code] .....

But the second program is not working for unknown reasons. I do not get any errors but its not scanning the info because when i print the info later on it prints out random symbols.

C :: Reallocate A Dynamically Allocated Array Of Structs

Jul 15, 2013

Code:

void readFile(struct course *d, char* filename){
FILE* fp;
char buffer[100];
int i = 0, array_size = 100;
struct course *temp;

[code]....

I will be using this to read data from a file. I start with an array of 100 structures being passed to the readfile function. Once it reads 100 lines (i == array_size), I want to double the array size until I have finished reading the file.

Two questions.

1)My initial thought was that I needed to keep track of the lines read with my variable, i. However, is there a better way?

2)My program is crashing right now at the call to double_array_size function. What is wrong with my code? Never dealt with dynamically allocated array of structures and functions.

I read online that I should change my code in the following manner.

Code:

void readFile(struct course *d, char* filename) {
FILE* fp;
char buffer[100];
int i = 0, array_size = 100;
struct course *temp;

[code]....

I can paste the "error messages" if you like, but it is a page full of stuff I have never seen. glibc detected, Backtrace, Memory Map, and a bunch of numbers and hexadecimal stuff like addresses.

C :: Array Of Structs (adding / Deleting Elements To A File)

Sep 20, 2013

I want to write a program to record my neighborhoods's name and address by using an array of structs and file.

my array of structs is

Code:
#define SIZE 30
typedef struct{
char name[30];
char address[100];
}Detail;
Detail neighbor[SIZE];

And I want to make adding,deleting, and searching functions.Something like

Code:

void add();//Add name and address to a file,
//and add more to the same file if I want to.
void del();//Delete or Change some neighbor's name or address
//in the same file(Can I?)
void search();//Search name and show detail

So I started to code adding function first, but I don't know that I need to use pointer to code each functions relations, and I don't know how to check that my input's already exists yet. But I started some code below...

Code:
void add() {
int i=0;
FILE *fp = fopen("neighborhood.txt", "at");
if ( fp != NULL ) {
do{

C/C++ :: Array Of Structs - Reallocate Distorting Data Records

Mar 29, 2014

I have an array of structs (PlanetRecord). Each time I realloc, one of the records gets distorted. Here's my memory allocation code:

if(currentArraySize == 0) {
printf("allocating memory");
planetRecords =
( PlanetRecord* ) malloc( sizeof( PlanetRecord ) * BLOCK );
currentArraySize = BLOCK;

[Code] ....

I am increasing my array in multiples of 5 (or in this case, my constant BLOCK). This is the result of my printout (t1-t40 is correct, the rest of the values should be 1):

t1 1 1
t2 1 1
t3 1 31329
t4 31297 1
t5 1 31249
t6 31217 1
and so on .....

I noticed that in my test, realloc was called 7 times. My array has 7 distorted records. Each time I call realloc, it is distorting one of my records.

C++ :: Allocating Array Of Pointers To Dynamically Allocated Array?

Jan 18, 2014

I'm trying extremely hard to understand pointers and I have the basic concept down.. I feel as though my knowledge of dynamically allocated pointers and pointers in general is not enough to understand the logic behind what I'm trying to do. The problem is that the donations array must be able to accept any number of donations. I've made it do just that, but there is also an array of pointers which must each point to the same element in the donations array. The program works if I assign int *arrPtr[100] for example, but it does not work if I try to dynamically allocate it to accept the same number of elements for donations entered by the user. Here it's the snippet

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
//Function Prototypes

C/C++ :: How To Initialize Array Of Pointers To Array Of Characters

May 21, 2014

I am trying to initialize an array of pointers to an array of characters, I can do it in 3 lines but I really want to do it in one line at the same time keeping the #define.

3 lines initialization (can compile)
======================
#define A 1
#define B 2
char row1[] = {A|B, B, A};
char row2[] = {B, A};
char *test[]= {row1, row2};

1 line initialization (failed)
===============================
char *test[] = { {A|B, B, A}, {B, A} }; // <- how do i do this??

I do not want this because it waste ROM space
=============================================
char test[][3] = { {A|B, B, A}, {B, A} };

C :: Array Of Pointers To A Struct?

May 10, 2013

I am working on an assignment identical to another post from a couple years ago, for reference here is the thread:

array of pointers to structures sorting addresses by zip code

They way it is written on that thread is almost identical to the way the teacher implied to have it done (only wrote part of the input block). But I am having an error:

When it gets to the output section it outputs then next name along with the zip code... I tried strncpy and strxfrm but both cause more problems than they did work.

The last part of the project is to have the output put out in order of least zip code to most zip code (00000<99999), so this is causing me a real problem and I do not see what exactly is making this happen.

Here is my code (we dont HAVE to use gets but professor suggested using it for this assignment, next lab is to rewrite this using files and fgets rather than I/O redirection):

header.h Code: #ifndef lab_6b_7b_Header_h
#define lab_6b_7b_Header_h
//header file intiating other headers
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
typedef struct{

[code]....

I have not started the sorting code because I cannot get past this, but once I have proper zip codes I am sure I can make a sort function no problem.

I am using xcode with some breaks to read variables as various points and do not notice anything wrong until it makes it to the output functions, although this page briefly pops up between input and output functions when the breaks are up:

C :: Array Of Pointers To Strings

Mar 6, 2015

I'm wondering how to access Buffer 1 and 2 via the pointer array;

Code:
char *BufPtrs[3];
char Buffer1[64];
char Buffer2[64];
BufPtrs[0] = Buffer1;
BufPtrs[1] = Buffer2;
BufPtrs[2] = NULL;

I thought that if I were to access Buffer1 via BufPtrs[0], I would simply just put an * to it before printf()-ing or store it in a char[] (equivalent to a string).

C++ :: Pointer To Array Of Pointers

Feb 10, 2013

I'm just trying to get a handle on the uses of pointers here. Though clearly from my errors I'm missing a key concept. Here is my code: (You can assume that the array, "array_size" has values in it, I did this part in another function)

int main() {
bool **ptr_array;
int num;
int *array_size;
cin>>num;

[Code] ....

Once the program reaches the word[num] = false; some unhandled exceptions pop up.

I simplified my code a bit from my actual program and mixed up the loops, now the code should be in its correct form.
