C :: Using Fwrite And Fread On Structs
Jul 20, 2014
I'm currently working on a program that writes an array of struct to a file and then read back the data from the file to another array of struct. At the bottom is an image of my result.
My goal is to end up with two identical struct arrays but my program fails to do this. My struct have to members: ID and kind (of animals in this case). I declare my first arraystruct africa[] with "monkey" and "giraffe" with their respectively IDnr: 112 and 555. I stream this data to a file and read read them back to the arraystruct get_animal[]. Simply I want the get_animal[] to be identical with the africa[] when the program is over, but that is not so. According to my result(bottom image) it display:
112, monkey (get_animal[0])
112, monkey (get_animal[1])
meaning that get_animal[0] is identical to africa[0] get_animal[1] is also identical to africa[0]
but why? I want get_animal[1] to be identical with africa[1]. meaning I want the result to look like this:
112, monkey
555, giraffe
I've also made the program to print the parameters of my fwrite/fread calls. Why is the 3rd parameter = 1 meaning that only 1 element will be read/written when my program just read/write 2 elements?
Code:
main(){
FILE *fp;
struct animals
{
int id;
char kind[20];
} africa[1] = {{112,"monkey"}, {555,"giraffe"}};
}
[code]....

I am trying to write a function to reverse a wav file. The idea is to copy the header as it is from the begening of the input.wav file to the beginning of the output.wav file. After that i have to take count number of bytes(count = numberChannels * bitsPerSample in the wav i use this is 2*16= 32 bits, 32/8 = 4 bytes). With this code i am trying to copy the header( that's working fine) and then copy 10 samples from the end and put them to the output.wav file(after header not at the beginning).
This is the content of the input file:
The last 4 bytes of the header are bolded.
Code:
52 49 46 46 24 bd 01 00 57 41 56 45 66 6d 74 20
10 00 00 00 01 00 02 00 44 ac 00 00 10 b1 02 00
04 00 10 00 64 61 74 61 00 bd 01 00 00 10 00 10
ff 00 10 00 00 10 00 10 00 00 ff 10 10 10 00 10
00 00 00 10 10 10 10 00 00 00 10 00 10 00 10 ff
00 10 00 00 10 00 ff 00
This is the content of the output file it suppose to have in my example
Code:
52 49 46 46 24 bd 01 00 57 41 56 45 66 6d 74 20
10 00 00 00 01 00 02 00 44 ac 00 00 10 b1 02 00
04 00 10 00 64 61 74 61 00 bd 01 00 10 00 ff 00
00 10 00 00 10 00 10 ff 00 00 10 00 10 10 10 00
00 00 00 10 10 10 00 10 00 00 ff 10 00 10 00 10
ff 00 10 00
Code:
void reverse(char **array) {
int i=0;
word numberChannels;//word is unsigned short int , byte is unsigned char
word bitsPerSample;
[Code] .....
The problem is that (having in mind per sample is 4 bytes) instead of copying 40 bytes it just copies 20

I am having a lot of trouble being able to get data from a file and input it into given structs and arrays of structs and then outputting the file. We are given a file that contains 96 lines and looks like this:
Arzin, Neil
2.3 6.0 5.0 6.7 7.8 5.6 8.9 7.6
Babbage, Charles
2.3 5.6 6.5 7.6 8.7 7.8 5.4 4.5
This file continues for 24 different people and then repeats with different scores (the second line).
The first number, in this case is 2.3 for both people is a difficulty rating. The next 6 numbers are scores.
We are given this data in order to set up our structs and arrays and my code:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;
int main () {
ifstream inFile;
inFile.open("C://diveData.txt);
[Code] .....

I am currently reading several values one after another from a file like so:
Code: ifstream f;
double x;
double a, b, c, d;
f.read((char *)&x, sizeof (double));
a = x;
f.read((char *)&x, sizeof (double));
b = x;
//etc ... for several other values Question:
How can I read every (lets say) 3rd value instead of every next value from the file

I do not understand how I can implement this.If fread != to at least 8 bytes then do THIS: printf (" your file is near the end of file", fread result);

I have the following code:
Code:
void Plot(int nx, int ny, double x[350], double y[350], double C_new[350][350], int iplot){
int i, j;
char fname[50];
FILE *fp;
[Code]....
I am then taking the generated file and importing it into a plotting program (Techplot360). It would speed up the importing process if I created a binary file instead of a like above. I know that I need to use fwrite but I am unsure how to handle lines like
Code:
fprintf(fp, "TITLE= ABCDEFG_%d
", iplot); and
Code: fprintf(fp, "%f %f %f
", x[i], y[j], T_new[i][j]);

I have a question. I would like to actually have some measure of roughly how long it takes to do a fwrite to a drive. When I do the following:
clock_t begin = clock();
unsigned long long size_t = fwrite(send, 1, transfer_size*sizeof(unsigned long long), wpFile);
clock_t end = clock();
double long elapsed_secs = double long(end - begin) / CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
Unfortunately, I don't get any different result for different transfer size!!!
My guess is that the clock_t , once it issues a fwrite command, some how stops its measurement, and it comes back again, when I am already done with fwrite. I do get the almost same measure, whether my transfer size is 32KB Byte or 16MB ! Which I was indeed expecting to see a huge difference. I wouldn't really want the exact real timing measure (well off course it will be nice to know); and all I care about is to see some difference in time whether I am doing KB transfer vs MB transfer.
Some rough measurement required of the actual time being elapsed for fwrite function?

I have union of pointer.
union {
short *two_int;
int *four_int;
double *eight_real;
char *one_ascii;
// void *v;
};
We have write function which write into file.
fwrite (r.one_ascii, 1, i, outstr);
I found one thing,When we write function, we fill only four int in following way.
r.four_int[0] = x + xoff;
r.four_int[1] = y + yoff;
So my question,we fill four_int but write one_ascii only.As is it union of pointer. So it does not matter. I am using 64bit machine and do not have any issue in 32 bit machine.

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
int main() {
[Code]....
this code asks the user to input words/strings until he enters "end."after that, the program must copy the input to a text file named read.txt...I entered 'j' and then 'end' and after that I looked at the read.txt file and here's what's in it.
Output:
Code:
j
; end
some weird characters appeared!! the characters in the text file should only be.

I'm working on a project involving nested classes and structs like this:
Code: class A {
public:class B {
public:f()
{A::C* iCanDoThis; //no errors.
iCanAlsoDoThis->root->.... //this also works fine.}private:A::C* iCannotDoThis //this is what I would like to do.
Has errors
A* iCanAlsoDoThis;};private:struct C
{..data..};
C* root;};
Is it possible make a pointer to struct C a private member of class B?

I think i am getting confused with passing structs and functions all in the same...When I run through the program (it compiles), the functions that add coins do not add, but rather just replace an old value with a new one.

What I'm trying to do :
struct foo {int x; int y;};
foo function_example(int x, int y) {
foo temp;
temp.x = x;
temp.y = y;
return temp;
}
Works as is, however when I try doing it through seperate class files :
//header file for class example_class
struct foo {int x; int y;};
foo function_example(int x, int y);
//source file for example_class
foo example_class::function_example(int x, int y) {
foo temp;
temp.x = x;
temp.y = y;
return temp;
}
I get an error telling me that foo is undefined, and that declaration of function_example(int x, int y) is incompatible with the declaration of it in the header file.

I have an assignment where I need to use pointers to do a few things and I am a little confused on the syntax of it all. My question is how do you use a pointer to point to an array of structs.
For example
struct info{
char firstName[15];
char lastName[15];
};
main() {
info person[4];
cout << "The third letter of the second persons first name is: "; // ?????
}
how would I define a pointer to point to the third letter of first name the second person in the "person" array.

What is the difference between reading from binary file between the following way:
struct aStrct{
int number;
}vars[];
while(file.good())
file.read((char*)&vars, sizeof(aStrct))
And
while(file.good())
file.read((char*)&vars[i], sizeof(aStrct))
i++;

Write a program for the following problem. You're given a file that contains a collection if IDs and scores (type int) for an exam in your computer course. You're to compute the average of these scores and assign grades to each student according to the following rule:
If a student's score is within 10 points (above or below) of the average, assign a grade of satisfactory. If a studnt's score is more than 10 points above average, assign a grade of outstanding. If a student's score is more than 10 points below average, assign a grade of unsatisfactory.
The output from your program should consist of a labeled three-column list that shows each ID, score, and corresponding grade. Use a struct to store each student's data and an array of structs to store the whole class. The struct should have a data member for id, score, and grade.
I was given the following file grades:
3313904258647075100
568888487970797094
4700504489737073100
956188698887846398
31999669100908867100
376878578059571560
82917256708274983
7754766293100784158
81469468999493954
2106984796947027100
So far, I have this much, but the output is all wrong. I also haven't tackled the grade part yet.
Code:
//grader.cpp
//Grades
#include <fstream>//required for file streams
#include <iostream>//input/output
#include <cstdlib>//for definition of EXIT_FAILURE
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
#define inFileGrades "grades.txt"//grades

I am versed in qsorting struct members within a struct instance, as in the example below:
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
using namespace std;
struct item_database {
[Code]....
What I CANT do however is to sort an array of structs by one of its members. This is a complete different problem even if it sounds similar.
In other words, the problem is this; Say we have a struct:
Code:
struct item_database {
int key;
string token;
};
Then we declare an array of this struct in the heap:
Code: item_database *idptr = new item_database[700000]; and initialize its values.
How would one go about sorting this heap array of structs by its member function "token"?
I used the following call to qsort (standard library) and call to the compare function but it doesnt work:
Code:
qsort (idptr, 1000, sizeof(string), compare);
Code: int compare (const void* a, const void* b){
if (*(char*)a >= *(char*)b)
return 1;
else
return -1;
}
Or in more lamens terms say we have the following stuct instances:
Key: Token:
1 Hello
2 World
3 How
4 Are
5 You
Then I need those structs to order according to token (alphabetically, increasing or decreasing depending whats in our compare function).....

what I am trying to do is to pass to a function the address of an array of structs, so I can later modify the items within the struct, within the array
Code:
typedef struct { //A struct of name auctionint bidder;float bid;} auction;
void myFunction (auction * auctionItem[]){(*aucItem[x]).bid = y;(*aucItem[x]).bidder = z;}
int main(){auction theItems[10];
myFunction(theItems);} Where x, y, and z can be any number.
When I try to run my code the IDE (I'm using Code::Blocks 12.11) does not give me any errors, but it does give me a warning:
warning: passing argument 3 of '<function name>' from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]
and the note:
note: expected 'struct <struct name> **' but argument is of type 'struct <struct name> *'.Also, when I run the program, it will crash and return garbage.
