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.

const std::string
toUpper(std::string orig) {
std::transform(orig.begin(), orig.end(), orig.begin(), ::toupper);
return orig;

[Code] .....

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):

const std::string&&
no_sense(std::string abc) {
abc = abc.substr(1, 1);
return std::move(abc);

[Code] .....

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?

cat.substr(1, 1)

And as my last question. Why doesn't

return std::move(abc.substr(1, 1));

work?

C++ :: What Are Rvalue References And Temporary Objects

What rvalue references are? How are they useful? What are temporary objects?

C++ :: When Are Rvalue References To Primitive Integers Short-lived Or Long-lived

Sep 4, 2012

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.

C++ :: Functions Which Return Values

Nov 27, 2014

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.

Report the total number of heads and tails.

C++ ::  2 Errors In Passing Values / References To Function

Jan 28, 2014

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
#include <time.h>
#include<iomanip>
#include<array>
#include <algorithm>

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

C++ :: Lvalue Reference Bind To A Rvalue Object?

Sep 10, 2014

Trying to understand the lvalue and rvalue references, and come up with some strange codes, which compile and run, but is confusing to understand.

Define this class Thing:

class Thing {
public:
Thing(int k = 0): i(k) {};
~Thing() { std::cout << "destroying Thing (i=" << i << ")" << std::endl; }
int getValue() const { return i; };
Thing &getMe() { return *this; };
private:
int i;
};

and a non-member function:

Thing construct_Thing10() {
Thing t(10);
return t;
}

Then these two lines in main():

Thing &thg=construct_Thing10().getMe();
std::cout << "member=" << thg.getValue() << std::endl;

The output is:

destroying Thing (i=10)
member=10

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?

C++ :: Best Way To Return Values From A Function?

Jan 24, 2014

I wanted to return a string I can do

Code:

string parseFilename(string fileName){

Can I also use pointers/references here though? When would you use a pointer and when just a return statement?

C++ :: Why Return Values From A Function By Ref Address

Feb 5, 2014

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;
}

C++ :: Return 3 Values From A Single Function

Jun 7, 2013

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.

C++ :: Vowel Test Boolean Return Values

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);

C :: Return 2 Values From A Called Function - Arguments And Parameters

Feb 2, 2013

Is there anyway we can return 2 values from a called function. Example

Code:
float xxxx(float a, float b, float c, float d)
{///
///
///
}

void xxx() {
int e,f,g,h;
////
////
xxx(e,f,g,h);
}

So if I want for example a+b and c+d, can i return those 2 answer? I don't think its possible since I am new into C programming.

C++ :: Passing Values To Functions?

Jul 29, 2013

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;

double diameterFn(double);//Only uses one double value - the radius. Both functions below use the same value.
double circumferenceFn(double);

C++ ::  how To Input Values Into Array Via Functions

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);
