what happens to pointer pt when string s is reallocated to accommodate bigger size? does it updates itself or does it points to previous s which is not used anymore?
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

string s= "aa";

I'm making a system like twitter for class called ShoutOut.com I want to be able to get the PublicShoutOut pointer pointed to by the start iterator and assign it to firstShoutOutToDisplay and secondShoutOutToDisplay because I need that in order to pass the pointers to one of my functions. When I step through the debugger the values in start are all default values like "" and so are the values in this->firstShoutOutToDisplay but the message that start points to is being output just fine.
EDIT: got rid of irrelevant code. Am I using the correct syntax to do this?
if (start != finish) {
//getting these because a shoutout needs to be passed to the function that displays
//options for a shoutout
this->firstShoutoutToDisplay = (*start);

Should i never return a pointer to a local variable. i have seen the following code in the standard text book.
Code:
struct node *add_to_list(struct node *list, int n)
{
struct node *new_node;
new_node = malloc(sizeof(struct node));
// some code here
return new_node;
}
new_node is a local pointer then why is he returning the new_node? Is it wrong or am i failing to understand something?
I am stuck at a problem where I have two pointers pointing to the same object, and I need to change an int on one of the pointers but point to the same object.
To be more specific, there is an array of Item objects. A long list of items a player can buy. Then, there is the player's inventory, a vector pointer. Whenever a player buys an item, it sets the pointer to the bought object.
The problem arises when he buys two of the same object. I tried to identify the objects with an ID, but it does nothing, because they are just pointing to the same object, and so I have no way of telling them apart.
This is further complicated by the fact that it is a polymorphic object. So, I can't simply make a new every time I buy an object, without making a hassle. Well, at least I am not familiar with that kind of code just yet.
Suppose you a class declared with a pointer initialization variable. When writing the copy constructor, how would one make a deep copy of the pointer variable? Can it be done in the same manner as automatic variables i.e. in the initialization list or in some other manner?
I am using C++ 11.
In the code below:
void test(int * i) {
i = new int;
*i = 10;
cout << "i: " << *i << endl;
[Code] ....
The outuput is:
i: 10
t: (some memory position).
If I really want to allocate an integer variable to t, i need to modify the void test(int * i) procedure to void test(int *& i).
I need to initialize a pointer variable with a knowing address. See code below, ptr is the final destination and value of ptr_address contains the address value, so I need to do something like ptr = *ptr_address.
Code:
int *ptr;
int *ptr_address;
int address;
address = 0x10000005;
ptr_address = &(address);
ptr = *ptr_address;
The problem is that compiler gives the following warning message:
warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast [enabled by default]
Is my code wrong or there is any other way to do it without receiving this compiler warning?
I don't understand how my code not run.

this question would their be a different process if they asked "declare and initialize a pointer to the variable int cost[N][N]" Here's what I have so far
[#include<stdio.h>
int main() {
int a; // Step 1
int *ptr; // Step 2
a = cost; // Step 3
ptr = &a; // Step 4
return(0);

I'm writing a delete function for a linked list, and I'm having issues with this bit of code:
void deleteNode(int data){
node* del = NULL;
t = h;
n = h;
while(n != NULL && n->_data != data){
t = n;
n = n->next;
}
}
Or more precisely, this portion:
&& n->_data != data
n is my new node variable, _data is the storage variable in the private section of my class, and data is the information being searched for that needs to be deleted. Everything works without this section of the code. My assumption is that n->_data is somehow wrong, but I don't see how. I've tried everything I can think of- using parenthesis, using the variable rather than the pointer, I've tried expressing the pointer in a different way, I've tried using my t variable rather than n, and I've found examples online that use this exact same expression without any issues.
I am having following pointer variable declaration
Code: Static double (*funcs[]) (double) = { sin,cos,tan,asin,acos};
Here funcs is an array of pointers to functions which take double as input and gives double as output with static as storage type am I right.
I am making a function that will return a pointer to a long long variable. For example, I have the next variable prototype: Code: long long funcName(long long x, int s); I want to change the return value, and the first parameter to pointers to long long.

I'm having to do a little c++ (coming from java) and don't understand the syntax of the following declaration
Code:
SensorBase* const sensor(mSensors[i]);
It looks like it's declaring a const pointer to a SensorBase object but I don't understand how that applies to sensor(mSensors[i]) which looks like a function??
I'm fairly new to C++ and have begun working with pointers. I wish to create am array called sigmaf_point that reads data from a text file. I have managed to get that working, but when it comes to using this pointer I come across some problems. The array is created as such:
Code:
double sigma [5];
double *sigmaf_point = sigma;
void read(double *&sigmaf_point)
string s;
ifstream Dfile;
std::stringstream out;
[Code] .....
I then create a coordinate system inside the main file, as the program I am writing is about modelling the movement of atoms, which requires you to know the coordinates:
Code:
int main();
double **coords_fluid = new double*[5000];
for (int i = 0; i < n_atoms_methane; i++) {
coords_fluid[i] = new double[4];
}
Now, the problem arises when I want to calculate a new variable as so:
Code:
for (int i = 0; i <= n_atoms-1; i++) {
sf1=sigmaf_point(coords_fluid[i][3]);
}
I get the error C2064: term does not evaluate to a function taking 1 arguments, and a red line under sigmaf_point that says it must be pointer to function type. I am a bit confused about this.
i am trying to create the assignment operator for a class that uses a pointer for it's private variable. The error is saying expected constructor, deconstructor, or type conversion before "operator.

If I have a pointer variable indicating memory location in which we have stored what user entered and the pointer is of type volatile if the user gives the character 'a' twice , then this character will not be fetched twice from the memory but only when the character is changed???
This is the one meaning of the volatile? the other is that the value will be changed without the program itself change it?
I would like to convert a float or double variable into unsigned char variable and back.
float number_float = 23.453f;
unsigned char* number_char = (unsigned char*)malloc(sizeof(float));
number_char = reinterpret_cast<unsigned char*> (&number_float);
float* number_float_0 = reinterpret_cast<float*>(&number_char);
I am not getting the same value back.. why?
I am having trouble compiling my interface. I am trying to store a reference variable as a member variable of the interface object. Compiler says that the variable has not be initiated correctly.
LCD inherits from VisualInterface which is expecting a DisplayDriver object to be passed in (DisplayDriver is another interface, but thats not important).
I pass the displayDriver object in when LCD is instantiated in maininterfaces.zip
I was pasing it before as a pointer but was told that this could cause me problems with memory leaks and a reference was better, but now I cant seem to get it to compile.
This problem is best explained by looking at its output below. I stored 15 different values but when retrieved some are wrong.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class A {
public:
int ** pointer;
[Code] ....
I need to store and retrieve the 15 different values correctly. How to solve this? The main thing is, I need to store the pointer in class A objects.
I have to write a loop assigning a variable x to all positions of a string variable and I'm stuck. I don't have extensive experience with arrays and I'm also a bit confused about C-String. The problem is below.
"Given the following declaration and initialization of the string variable, write a loop to assign 'X' to all positions of this string variable, keeping the length the same.
char our_string[15] = "Hi there!";
(Please note this is a 'C-string', not C++ standard string.)"
I was having problems changing the value of my head node I passed it as an argument as head which would be the address. The parameter was defined as struct node *head. like this
bool deleteNode(struct node *head, struct node *delptr)
I tried manipultaing pointer values to change head node value but it did not work. I saw some code online which used pointer to pointers(in code below) to change head node value it worked I dont fully understand why. Would like better understanding of why.
Would also like to know why the argument call needed &head instead of just head.
remove = deleteNode(&head,found); opposed to remove = deleteNode(head,found);

I have to write a program to print pascals triangle and stores it in a pointer to a pointer , which I am not entirely sure how to do. I also have to write the file and read it, then create a binary file. Assignment is attached. I am not the best with programming and especially with pointers. I will post my code below.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
void writePascalTriangle(char *fileName, int heightOfTriangle, int **triangle) {
FILE *fp;
fp=fopen("writePascalTriangle.txt", "w");

But this causes an error of: "crosses initialization of int*intPtr"
What's the correct way of implementing this?
