C :: Setting Character In Malloc Char Array
Oct 16, 2013
I am attempting to change a character in a character array.In the code below, there are three attempts to do this. Only the first one will succeed. The last two both segfaults. If I understand correctly, str_one is declared in the heap, and could therefore be manipulated; and in contrast, str_two is declared in the stack and is therefore immutable, thus the segfault, when update it is attempted. However, I understand that using malloc, one is able to assign a pointer and allocate space in heap memory. Thus, I should be able to manipulate the assigned variable str_three. Doing so, however, results in a segfault.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main (int argc, char const* argv[])
{
char str_one[4092] = "This is string number one";
char * str_two = "This is string number two";
[Code]...

I am able to work with n instances of a structure in one mallocated area, but when I try to do the same thing with just character pointers, I get compiler errors about making integer from pointer without a cast. If I create a structure with just a character pointer in it, it works just fine... I am just not seeing something here!!!
This works:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main (void) {
struct items {
unsigned int item_1;
unsigned int item_2;
[Code]...
This DOES NOT work!
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main (void) {
char * items_ptr = NULL;
unsignedint i = 0;
char * one = "one";
char * two = "two";
[Code]...

This program works as expected:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
typedef struct {
unsigned long long int address;
float current;
unsigned char pressure_units;
}
[code]....
But I don't like how I had to use malloc and free. Is there a different way to accomplish copying the string into a char pointer without resorting to dynamic memory allocation?

I have some problems with copying a single character from one char into another. How do I do that? Here is the function I am using
Code:
void
text_col (char line[]) {
char line1[1];
int l, ii;
l = strlen(line);
[Code] ....
I am trying to copy in a loop every single character from char line into char line1. That is not working.

i want to ask how does malloc works on an array for instance can i dao this
Code: p=100;
int array[10];
array = malloc(p * sizeof(int));
then will the size of int be 100 so will i be able to do like
Code:
array[11] = 12 ; ???
also if i have a 2d array how can i use malloc on it and how does this works with pointers????

I've tried a bunch of alternative methods to prevent an assertion error. "not understanding" the bug and why I'm getting it are relevant here, not proper, (or more appropriate), coding methods. I would write it in another way to prevent the error, I simply want to understand what is happening during run-time that causes the situation.What is the bug?
---------------------------------------
[assertion error]
[expression _block_type_is_valid(phead->nBlockUse)]
--------------------------------
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main() {
cout << "Enter your name : ";
string Name;

I want to be honest, this is FOR homework, but is NOT homework. I have created this example to work from in order to understand qsort further because the next assignment requires it's use.
Our teacher gave us this small piece of example code and I am trying to expand on it to serve my purpose.
[C] Sorting - Pastebin.com
The code gives me no errors, but does not sort the array. Need to clarify the use of qsort in this instance.
I am imagining that the reason it's not sorting properly ( or at all ) is because of my comparison function. That is really just an assumption. Or perhaps I just don't understand the pointer array i'm using.

I made a program that adds two matrices and displays their sum with a max dimension of 100.
/* This program asks the user for 2 matrices called A and B, as integers,
and displays their sum, C. The max dimension of each matrix is 100. */
#include <stdio.h>
// Construct function
void construct() {
int m, n, i, j; // Variables
int first[100][100], second[100][100], sum[100][100]; // Matrices variables
[Code] ....
Now I need to change it so there is no max size for each matrix. The arrays will be larger than 100x100 so I need to use malloc to create my arrays. So I cant use int A[rows][cols]. This is what I did to covert arrays to malloc. It compiles but it crashes after I entered all the integers.
/* This program asks the user for 2 matrices called A and B, as integers,
and displays their sum, C. The max dimension of each matrix is 100. */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
// Construct function
void construct() {
int m, n, i, j; // Variables
int *first = NULL;

Trying to get code to look like
Row 1: ^^^
Row 2: ^^^
Row 3: ^^^
const int siz = 3;
for (int t=0; t<siz;t++) {
cout << "Row" << t+1 << ":";
cout << endl;
[Code] ....
Also was wondering if i wanted to separately ask the user to choose a location to add a char who would i do that ?
( im thinking * cin << arry[][]; ? not sure but ask for them separately
array []1
array []2
= array [][]

What is wrong with my function why does it spit out huge numbers? And how do i use malloc or calloc to create an array in dynamic memory, and return a pointer to this array
Code:
#include <stdio.h>#include <stdlib.h>
int fibonacci(int n)
{
int i;
long int fib[40];
fib[0]=0;
fib[1]=1;
for(i=2;i<n;i++){
fib[i] = fib[i-1] + fib[i-2];
[Code]....

I have the following situation:
Code:
void myFun(float *pfMyPtr) {
float Val[] = {0.234, 0,432, 0.322, 0762, 0.984};
pfMyPtr = Val;
}
int main() {
float *pfPtr;
pfPtr = (float*) calloc (5,sizeof(float));
myFun(pfPtr);
}
I would like pfPtr to contain the values of array Val. What am I missing here?

How do I set all of these string and double value(s) to 0?

struct Records {
char userid[MAXcharacters + 1];
char password[MAXcharacters + 1];
double balance;

Okay so I've declared an array like this.
Foo *Blocks[100][100][10000] = {0};
And as far as my understanding goes This creates an array with every member set to NULL.
And then later on in my code some of these get given values using:
Blocks[a][b][c] = new Foo;
And then when I want to unload I would think that I could just go
Blocks = {0};
But obviously this doesn't work.
So I was wondering if there was a way of doing This, with out creating a loop and changing every one to NULL manually.

I've made a code to check whether or not a save file has been created correctly, but for some reason it always returns this line: readdata[qa]=='1' as true. in which qa is the counter I use in a for loop and readdata is a character array consisting of 50 characters that are either 0, 1 or 2.
this is the entire code:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
[Code]....
at first is also went wrong at line 22 and also returned that as true, but then I added brackets and it worked.

I am trying to concatenate two words from a file together. ex: "joe" "bob" into "joe bob". I have provided my function(s) below. I am somehow obtaining the terminal readout below. I have initialized my memory (I have to use dynamic, dont suggest fixing that). I have set up my char arrays (I HAVE TO USE CHAR ARRAYS (c-style string) DONT SUGGEST STRINGS) I know this is a weird way to do this, but it is academic. I am currently stuck. My file will read in to my tempfName and templName and will concatenate correctly into my tempName, but I am unable to correctly get into my (*playerPtr).name.
/* this is my terminal readout
joe bob
<- nothing is put into (*playerPtr).name, why not?
joe bob joe bob
seg fault*/
/****************************************************************/
//This is here to show my struct/playerInit

The program should store a character array in reverse order then display the reversed array. I have also included in the code that will display the actual characters into the array as it loops through. So I know the characters are being stored, but why doesn't it display the entire string when I call it?
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
char str[50];
char rev[50];
printf("Enter Desired Text: ");
scanf ("%[^
[Code] ....
Is it just my compiler?

I am currently having an issue with validating user input for a state abbreviation. I have an array where a list of abbreviations is stored to use as a comparison for whatever the user inputs. I have been able to get the list loaded properly but whenever i go to compare, it always comes back as true even if it isn't. Here is some relevant code:
static char stateTable[STATE_TABLE_SIZE][STATE_SIZE];
int main() {
char buffer[40], *testCustName[40], testState[5], testCode;
buffer[0] = '
