C++ :: Proper Way To Get Info Of One Class Into Another Class
Jan 27, 2015
I am trying to setup my game. first I have my main.cpp which just creates
Game game;
game.run();
I also have my Player class but having trouble accessing the player information from the game class. how can I make it so that my game class has access to player class? or any other class for that matter as my game class will be running everything.
Let's say that I have Class A. I then have Class B that is different. It is now time to add to Class B and I want to use a lot of the methods that are contained in Class A.
How should I go about tying Class A to Class B? I'm not thinking about Inheritance because Class B is not really an extension of Class A. But for the future, if myself or anyone else wants to use Class B, how would it make it apparent that Class A must be included other than the fact that I will see compiler errors all over?
I have a class that is a template, I have to declare it in my main but i want the user to choose what type of data they will use in the class, I cant just declare myclass my, i have to use myclass<int> my, how can I change so user can select the proper datatype to use in the class.
We're assigned a project working with classes and fractions. My goal is to display a fraction in proper from based on 2 arguments passed to a class member function proper();
My strategy was to utilize the greatest common factor between the 2 arguements, then divide both the numerator and denominator by that number and then it would display.
The program actually runs, but only seems to divide the numerator and not the denominator. This in return makes my other class member functions have incorrect comparisons and sums.
Code: #include<iostream> #include<conio.h> class Fraction { friend void compare(Fraction a, Fraction b); friend void sum(Fraction a, Fraction b);
I'm having trouble in getting my program to read from a file and put all the proper data into its proper class variables. I have a class (called Champion) that has string variable for a name and a vector of strings for items. I also have a vector of Champion that holds multiple champions. Here's my code:
I have a program that uses class functions to enter and print out info. The problem is with the second function answers(). Here is the whole cpp file. In the answer function I need to use an exception to exit when its the end of an array. I could just be doing it wrong. I used try/catch originally but when I used it, it caught the exception but ended the whole program.
Say in my main class, I have a function fight(Player p1, Player p2) and I would like to do something like this in the fight function, given that p1 is the human and p2 is the computer:
//function fight() fight(Player p1, Player p2) { p1.func2(); } //using function fight() fight(human, computer);
When I compile the program, I got this: error: ‘class Player’ has no member named 'func2()' What can I do to allow p1 to call func2 inside fight()? I'm not allowed to use pointers as the parameter for fight() and have to use the signature fight(Player p1, Player p2).
The compiler creates virtual table for the base class and also for the derived class whether we override it or not.
That means each class has separate virtual table. when we get the size of the each class with out any data members... the size of base is -- 4 bytes(64 bit) and the size of derived is -- 1
The size of base class 4 is correct since it creates the virtual pointer internally and its size is member data + virtual pointer, but it in this case I have included any data members so it has given 4 byts.
But why in case of derived is 1 byte, since it the derived class has overridden the virtual function from base, this will also contains the virtual pointer which will be pointing to derived class Vtable, it the size of the class suppose to be 4 instead of 1 byte.
#include <iostream> #include "curve1.h" #include "curve2.h" using namespace std; int main() { Curve1 curve1Obj; Curve2 curve2Obj;
[Code]...
Base class Score has two derived classes Curve1 and Curve2. There are two curve() functions, one is in Curve1 and other in Curve2 classes. getSize() returns the value of iSize.
My base class header score.h looks like this:
#ifndef SCORE_H #define SCORE_H class Score { private: int *ipScore; float fAverage; int iSize;
[Code]...
You can see that I have used curve1Obj to enter scores, calculate average and output. So if I call getSize() function with cuve1Obj, it gives the right size that I took from user in enterScores() function. Also the result is same if I call getSize() in score.cpp definition file in any of the functions (obviously). .....
The problem is when I call curve() function of Curve2 class in main (line 23) with the object curve2Obj, it creates a new set of ipScore, fAverage and iSize (i think?) with garbage values. So when I call getSize() in curve() definition in curve2.cpp, it outputs the garbage. .....
How can I cause it to return the old values that are set in curve1.cpp?
Here is my curve2.cpp
#include <iostream> #include "curve2.h" using namespace std; void Curve2::curve() { cout << "getSize() returns: " << getSize() << endl; // out comes the garbage }
Can I use a function to simply put values from old to new variables? If yes then how?

In this book, item 3 is about never treat arrays polymorphically. In the latter part of this item, the author talks about the result of deleting an array of derived class objects through a base class pointer is undefined. What does it mean? I have an example here,
Code: class B { public: B():_y(1){} virtual ~B() { cout<<"~B()"<<endl;
[Code] ....
This sample code does exactly what I want. So does the author mean the way I did is undefined?
#include <iostream> using namespace std; class superclass; class subclass1; class subclass2;
[Code] ....
As you can see I want to create a dynamically allocated storage of references to a parent class each of which can then point to a child class, how ever I do not know how to extract the child class out again from that array so i may access its variable b.
Let's say I have a Car object , and it contains inner Engine object.
Code: struct Car{ Engine mEngine; };
In order to initialize the engine object NOT by the default constructor (if it has any) , we use initialization semantics:
Code: Car::Car: mEngin(arg1,arg2,...) { other stuff here }
Now it gets tricky: Let's say a Car objects has 10 inner objects, each object has about 5 variables in it . Car is a base class for , e.g. , Toyota class. you don't want the Car class to have a constructor with 50 arguments. Can the inner objects of Car be initialized from the base class , e.g. Toyota?
Code: class Toyota: Car(...), mEngine(...), mGear(..) { ... };
The other options are: 1) like said , create a Car constructor which gets 50 arguments, then initialize Car as whole from Toyota - the code becomes less readable and less intuitive 2) Car constructor which get built-objects as arguments and initialize the inner objects with copy constructor . the code gets more readable but then you create many excess objects .
So I have a base class, lets call it base. In base I have a virtual function called update(), update just couts "base" then I have a class derived from base called derived;
it has a function called update(), update just couts "derived" then I create a vector called Vec it's initialised like this:
std::vector<base> Vec;
then I add an element into it like this
Derived DerElement; Vec.push_back(DerElement);
then when I type:
for (int i=0; i<Vec.size(); i++) { Vec.at(i).Update(); }
It outputs:
Derived DerElement2; DerElement2.Update();
and it outputs this:
#include <iostream> #include <vector> class Base { public: virtual void Update() {
I have an example where I have a variable belonging to a base class, but I would like to tell the compiler that it actually belongs to a derived class. How can I do this?
// base class: R0 // derived class: R1 // see function SetR1 for the problem class R0 { public: int a;
I am writing a program which is using SDL library. I have two different classes which one of them is Timer Class and the other is EventHandling Class.
I need to use some member functions and variables of Timer in some Eventhandling Class member functions, Although I want to define an object of Timer in int main {} and relate it to its member function that has been used in Eventhandling member function in order that it becomes easier to handle it, I mean that I want to have for example two objects of timer and two objects of Eventhandling class for two different users.
I do not know how to relate an object of a class from int main{} to its member function which is being used in another class member function.
I just wondering if a base class can call the overridden function from a Derived class?
Here's an example:
//Base Class H class BaseClass { public: BaseClass(); virtual ~BaseClass(); virtual void functionA();
[Code] ....
So basically, when I am creating a new object of Derived class, it will initialize BaseClass and the BaseClass will call functionA but I want it to call the function overridden by Derived class.
I know that if I call newObj->functionA it will call the overridden function. Right now I want the base class to call the overridden function "this->functionA(); in BaseClass" during its initialization. Is it possible to do that?
I'm trying to write a simple Delegate class with a Bind() and Invoke() function. For now it only needs to support a void class function with no parameters. I've searched around and found quite a few exmaples, though, those class are heavily templated and I lose track trying to simplify it.
So far my code is following:
Code: #include <windows.h> class Test { public: void DoSomething() { MessageBox(NULL, L"Test::DoSomething!", NULL, 0);
[Code] ....
The part I am having difficulty with is assigning &Test::DoSomething to the m_Callback variable.
&tObject::DoSomething works, yet _Callback which I pass &Test::DoSomething to does not work.
I am facing a real-life problem, it can be simplified as below:
#include <iostream> using namespace std; class B; class A { public: void f1(A a) {} void f2(B b) {}
[Code]...
There is no problem at all with the f1(), it compiles and executes without any problem. But f2() gives compilation error. How to solve this?
The error message is: error: 'b' has incomplete type This is just to define the function f2() in a class, that uses an instance of its child class as one of its arguments.
