C++ :: RValue - References As Return Values Of Functions
Aug 13, 2014
I am trying to understand RValue-references as return values of functions. First let's consider a simple function, that transforms a string into upper case letters.
It compiles, but I get the output 0 . Here I am wondering why the code above does not move the substr correctly while the code below does (prints out 1):
In both cases abc is a temporary object inside of the function and gets deleted after the function is left. But why does the second version work and the first one does not?
I have done some experimentation on rvalue references with the TDM-GCC 4.6.1 compiler and made some interesting observations that I cannot explain away with theories. I have a very simple program that does not deal with objects but int primitives and that has defined 2 functions:
foo1 (returning a local variable by rvalue reference) and foo2 (returning a local variable by value)
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int &&foo1(); int foo2(); int main() { int&& variable1 = foo1();
[Code] .....
It seems the value returned by foo1 and received by variable1 dies out after some time - perhaps, a brief period of some milliseconds. Notice that I have prevented cout from printing "My name is softwarelover" by commenting it out. If I allow that statement to run, the result is different. Instead of printing 5, 0 it prints 0, 0. Seems like it is because of the time-delay introduced by "cout << "My name is softwarelover." that 5 turns into 0.
Is the above how an rvalue reference is supposed to behave when referring to a primitive integer which a function returned by reference as opposed to return-by-value? By the way, why is it 0, why not garbage?
Notice also that variable2 never seems to die out, no matter how many times I print it with cout! variable2 refers to a primitive integer which a function returned by value, not return-by-reference.
Write a function named cointoss that simulates the tossing of a coin.
When you call the function, it should generate a random number in the range of 1 through 2.
If the random number is 1, the function should display "heads".
If the random number is 2, the function should display "tails".
Demonstrate the function in a program that asks the user how many times the coin should be tossed, and then simulates tossing the coin that number of times.
using namespace std; const int AS = 6; void FillingRandomly(int (*)[AS]); void printing(int (*)[AS]);
[Code] ....
Basically I have to create an array, fill it, and then print it on screen. The tricky thing is that need to use pointers to fill it and print and later on sort it. My problem is that with this code is that i get
Error2error C2109: subscript requires array or pointer typec:userspcdesktopusbanthonydocumentsvisual studio 2012projectsessaieessaieessaie.cpp55 and 5IntelliSense: expression must have pointer-to-object typec:UserspcDesktopUSBAnthonyDocumentsVisual Studio 2012ProjectsEssaieEssaieEssaie.cpp55
In my program below, in the getage and get level functions, if an incorrect input is entered, then the correct one is entered after, it still returns the bad input back to main.
Each time I run it I get in correct result. I even tried running with code from from my book and it failed aswell. The code from the tutorial worked some how. BTW I use DevC++ as my compiler.
I am supposed to update the value temp without using a return statement, or a global variable. I have never ran across a problem like this before and I am totally stuck. I think I'm missing something really simple and need a hint. Here is the code that was provided for "fixing".
#include "stdafx.h" #include <iostream> #include <cstdlib> using namespace std;
I am trying to perform columnSum and rowSum, as well as twoDadd and twoDSubtract using the arrays defined in my driver. How would I do that using A and B in my driver?
My understanding is that the rhs of line 1 construct only a temporary object. getMe() then return the reference of this temp object and bind it to thg (as a lvalue reference). After line one, the temp object is really destroyed (hence the first output line). At this point thg is really binding to a destroyed, invalid object. But somehow the 2nd line still prints the correct value of 10 is because the memory storage is not yet corrupted (still holding the previous value). Is this correct?
Here is the part of my code that I need to return two values. I am working on a roulette program and I need to return the choice and the number they are betting on. How can I use a pointer to achieve this?
Code: int makeBet(char choice, int num){
printf(" What type of bet would you like to place? "); printf(" Type n for number. Type e for even/odd. Type d for dozen.
You can return values from functions by ref, address or value you can also do this with parameters, so what is the difference, if you have full return of a passed parameter by ref or address why would you need to ever return the function as a whole?
For ex Code: int nValue(int& y){ y++; } or int& nVlaue(int y){ return y; }
I've got the program for the most part except one part because it's basically wanting me to return 3 values from a single function and I'm unsure how to do this the way it wants me to. The rules:
Call the user-defined function to read in x in the series to be used for calculating the results. Pass a prompt for x as an input parameter, and return the validated x value to main.
After a valid x has been entered, call the same user defined function a second time, to read in y. Pass the prompt for y as an input parameter, and return the validated number of terms value to main.
After a valid y has been entered, call the same user-defined function a third time, to read in z. Pass the prompt for z as an input parameter, and return the validated z value to main.
While working on another issue I started memory cleaning and refactoring. While refactoring I decided to create an array Resize Array Reize and Null Count:
Spoiler
public int NullCount(string[,] Original) { try { int returnInt =0; for(int x =0; x<= Original.GetUpperBound(0);x++) { if (Original[x,0]==null ) {returnInt++;}
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 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? #include <iostream> using namespace std;
I was given an assignment where I have to input two points (four integers) on a Cartesian plane from a file and then process it using functions. My professor is very particular so the comments are a bit excessive, but here's what I have.
double radiusFn(double, double, double, double);//4 double values, one for each point. All points are needed for the calculation of distance in this function. double diameterFn(double);//Only uses one double value - the radius. Both functions below use the same value. double circumferenceFn(double); double areaFn(double); int main() {
When I tested it, the file name in getName() outputted the right file name. However the file name in loadName() does not print out anything in the console window.
I want it to be so that the strings in [I]name_addTXT.c_str() in both functions are equal.
What "int values" is supposed to mean as parameters to these functions? I'm not sure what do with them. Also how to input values into the array via functions. I was trying to but I just don't understand how to connect a user's input to a function to then enter into an array.
// input reads “values” integers from the user to place in the array data. It prompts the user for each value individually with the ordinal position of the value. void input (int data [size], int values); // Places the sum of corresponding values from arrays a and b and places the results in array s. The first “values” integers in the array are processed. void do_sums (int a [size], int b [size], int s [size], int values);
