Is there any way to make a switch in C. That I can choose between different data types? For example, at the moment I need to know how to read one parameter. It must recognize if it is a boolean or uint32.

not working
I'm trying to convert the enum type {PG, R, G, PG-13, etc.} to strings so i can use it in cout statement but no matter what i put inside switch(), the compiler keeps saying Error: expression must have integral or enum type. What am I doing wrong exactly?
Movie covert_rating(Movie r) {
switch (r) {
case PG:
return "PG";
break;
case R:

count = new int(1); // what???
Is this on the heap?? do i have to delete it now?
So is 'new' on a primitive data type just a way for me to allocate primitive data types (int, char, etc.) on the heap instead of the stack?
And, out of curiosity, can you do that in Java?
How to convert these data types? i have an array of bytes in unsigned char[] array, and need to convert to const void* pointer.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHow do you create an object (like in the title) something more simple than a struct? I wanna know that cuz I'm writing a function that could return a boolean and an integer at the same time.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat are the possible problems if I declare a bunch of data types and never use them? Do they take up a lot of memory? Will they slow run time? If it is an array do I have to delete it at the end of the program? What if the array is defined inside a class and never used? Do I still have to delete it?
i.e.
Code: class declarearrays{
public:
double **darray;
double **darray2;
void function1();//function that initializes darray
void function2();//function that initializes darray2 with different parameters, may not be used.

I am trying to create a generic map container which shell contain data of different datatypes. I already found a solution in this forum here:
[URL]...
Introducing a container with a Base Class as content type and inserting objectes of Derived Class types from that Base Class suites my implementation very well. But it is not really working. I implemented it this way:
class MyType {
public:
MyType() {}
virtual ~MyType() {}
}; template <class PT> class ParseType : public MyType
[Code]...
Then I insert one element.
// index being an object of type Parser<string>
ParseType<string>* test = new ParseType<string>( index );
// and index.val(0) = "-n"
iMap.insert( pair< string, MyType* >( index.id(0), test ) );
Now I think I should be able to call
const string key("-n");
iMap.at(key)->content->val(n);
Or
iMap.at(key)->get_val(n);
But neither one compiles with the error that "class MyType" (as the map container is pointing to a MyClass object) has no member/member function "content"/"get_val".
I also tried introducing member and member function "content" and "get_val" in "class MyType", which I thought should be hidden while constructing ParseType<string>. This would compile but it does not call the member "content or member function "get_val" from class ParseType.
A second try was to remove templatization of "class ParseType" and introduce a specific, let's say, "class ParseString" for objects of type Parser<string>. But the problems remain the same either the compiler complains due to missing member/member function or retreiving the map content will not call the derived class member/member function.
I'm fairly new to C++ programming. I wanted to accept a datatype as an input. I've seen something similar while working with the <queue> library.
When defining a new object of queue
For example:
queue<int> Queue;
How is <int> handled ??
Basically I do not want to use a menu, instead just accept either an float or a single character. Then send the data to the appropriate spot based on the user input. I have been unable to convert the char to a float, and even if I did the char would probably only accept the first digit, say user enters '15' it would only read the '1'. I've tried strings instead of char but then unable to use the isalpha function. Do I need a char[] and then iterate through to get the numeric data? Then how do i make '1' and '5' become 15. There is probably a solution. I've also tried to use a loop waiting for the correct data while(!(cin >> letter)) which works but how do I get out if the user enters number.

I am doing a programming assignment. This program asks you to collect statistics on precipitation and temperatures from the four quarters of a year and print the calculated results. It is an exercise in using enumerated types and arrays. The measurements are entered at the end of every quarter.
Major variables (there are other variables) in the program:
Variable called: month of type Summary_Month (the enumerated type)
Arrays of integers called: low_temp, high_temp, precip
Array of doubles called: avg_temp
You will ask the user to enter the precipitation, low temperature and high temperature for each quarter. As you gather this data, you will calculate the average temperature (using avg_temp) for each quarter by averaging the low and high temperature for that quarter.
After you gather the information you will calculate and output : Total Precipitation for Year, Average Quarterly Precipitation, Average Quarterly Temperature, Highest Temperature for any quarter, Lowest Temperature for any quarter.
I am not getting the right output for average precipitation and temperature and I am not sure how to determine the highest and lowest temperature.

how to correctly use pointers within relation to function parameters and main source file.
I noticed that char types, for example char myVariable[50]; which is an array, does not seem to require a pointer as if it already has one built in? as opposed to char *myVariable; which seems to need one - i assume this is because char has different ways to store memory in relation to pointers, because of there being multiple ways to store a string, and memory allocation as a part of that. - i stared C a few weeks ago and feel that it is difficult to progress without nailing down pointers. Also address operators provide confusion for me and written tutorials are not so clear because there are different ways to use these operators.
What is the maximum and minimum of int, long int, long long int, double, float, and anything bigger than that? And also how to calculate this?

So, in my platform, conversion from an unsigend integer primitive data type to any bigger integer primitive data type never extends the most significant bit of the former integer and conversion from an signed integer primitive data type to any bigger integer primitive data type always extends the most significant bit of the former integer. This is convenient to mantain the same value when converting between integer primitive data types of the same signedness (i.e, signed integers or unsigned integers).
How to properly read data from a .txt file.
If I have data stored in a .txt file, which is formatted/stored like this:
Code:
Apples and Strawberrys
10
Cherrys
12
Pears
16
Grapes, Melons, and Peaches
20
I know that if I read/extract, and print the data like this;
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main() {
ifstream dataFile("test.txt");
string textData;
[Code] ....
Each line of data is stored in the string "textData" and printed to the screen, exactly as it was stored in the .txt file. So, all is clear to me up to that point.
But, what if I wanted to store each line of text in the string "textData", and store the numbers/integers into a separate variable called "numberData"? How would I retrieve and store the numbers (in the above example .txt file, every 2nd line) separately from the text?
For now, to keep things simple, let's assume that the data in the .txt file is stored/formatted as in my example (1 line of text, 1 line containing a number/integer, ...repeat) so, there is no need to test if the retrieved data is actually text or an integer, before it is stored in the appropriate variable type.

In a .h file there is a function that takes in this parameter:
void (^callback)(float * arg)=NULL
as in a function definition:
void func(void (^callback)(float * arg)=NULL);
What I am able to read is that it takes a function pointer and if not defined it overrides with NULL. The part I do not get is the ^ in (^callback). I only know ^ as a bitwise XOR operator. It also generates issues in my VS2012 compiler (something with CLR). So I would really like to rewrite this part to something else, without the bitwise operator...

for the value of : 002
0.5
//---------------------
for the value of : 003

if you look carefully at the value "5" and "10" results. it is awkwardly abnormal. which is something i couldnt understand. also it is the same with value "20", "25", "40", "50" and so on.
I have been thinking about this all day and I am yet to come up with a good solution. So, I need to design an image class which should work with various data types (int, float, double etc.) and can also be multidimensional (2, 3, 4, 5). So, what I did was generate a template image class as follows:
Code:
template<typename T, int dimensions=3>
class Image {
private:
T * data;
};
Anyway, now I have various image formats that I want to support, so the easy thing to do is create a Factory sort of object which will call eventually generate the correct image.
So I want to create various image classes called ImageType1, ImageType2 etc. which will take the input image and generate the correct Image object. However, I do not want these objects to be templated because they need to be passed from functions and be used in a generic way.
So, at run time I will need to be able to do this…
Code:
class ImageType {
public:
ImageType() {
PolymorphicImage * image = new Image<float, 3>();
}
private:
PolymorphicImage * image;
};
So, I want my ImageType classes to contain the Image object and be able to generate it with the right template arguments at run time. Is there any way to do this without having multiple specialised definitions for ImageType?
I'm trying to develop a deeper knowledge of how loops work (and what better way todo that than a dynamic password guesser). My main problem lies with the conflict between data types, as I try to point to a char at a specific index position of the password guess.
See in my code (at line 57):
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <algorithm>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
string AlphaNum("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789");//62 possible characters
int size = AlphaNum.length();//should be 62
[Code] ....
This is annoying, because strings are arrays of characters themselves.
In class we were asked to create a C++ BTree program that would allow a user to input the following data types and then store said data in a .txt file:

2. Last Name 30 char
3. Street Address one 30 char
4. Street Adress two 30 char
5. City 30 char
6. State 20 char
7. Zip 10 char
8. Country 30 char

I am writing a program where I need to read a byte of char data and convert it into a text string of binary data that represents the hex value...
i.e. The char byte is 0x42 so I need a string that has 01000010 in it. I've written the following subroutine....
------------- My Subroutine ----------------------------------------------------------------------
void charbytetostring(char input, char *output){
int i, remainder;
char BASE=0x2;
int DIGITS=8;
char digitsArray[3] = "01";
[Code] ....
When I submitted the byte 0x42 to the subroutine, the subroutine returned to the output variable 01000010... Life is good.
The next byte that came in was 0x91. When I submit this to the subroutine I get garbage out.
I am using a debugger and stepped through the subroutine a line at a time. When I feed it 0x42 I get what I expect for all variables at all points in the execution.
When I submit 0x91 When the line remainder = input % BASE; gets executed the remainder variable gets set to 0xFFFF (I expected 1). Also, when the next line gets executed..
input = input / BASE; I get C9 where I expected to get 48.
My question is, are there data limits on what can be used with the mod (%) operator? Or am I doing something more fundamentally incorrect?
