C++ :: Why Default Argument For The Last Parameter Is Mandatory
Dec 1, 2014
I faced a compilation error in the following code :
Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void addition(int a, int b = 2, int c);
int main()
[Code]......
My question is that when i have called addition() with the 3rd argument, then what is the necessity of having the default argument for the 3rd parameter ?
bool validateNumber(string& text, int min = 0, int max = -1, bool useMin = true, bool getValid = true)
The code takes the string text, and checks the make sure that the input is valid and safe to convert and use as a number. However, sometimes there is not min, and sometimes there is no max. The lack of min is done by using the parameter useMin, while the lack of max is done by max < min.
My predicament is the following call: validateNumber(text, -2);
Now, max will be used, even though I don't want it. Ideally, I would want to do something like... int max = (min - 1), ... but that doesn't work. I also can't check to see if the parameter hasn't been changed (that I know of), because the following call would make it look like it hasn't validateNumber(text, -2, -1);
So the question is, is there a way to do what I want, without having to add in a bool useMax parameter? Or is this my only option? I don't want to do that for simplicity, but if I have to, I have to.
I am writing a text-based rpg and I'm having some issues trying to pass the player struct to a function. First, here are the relevant code snippets. Also, Player.c and Player.h aren't completed but the relevant function is. I just run tests every now and then to see if everything is working right.
1. line 33 in Monster.h, the void Attack_Monster_Types(Monster* m, Player* p) the ide says missing ')' before '*', missing '{' before '*' and 'Player' name in formal parameter list illegal
2. line 18 in main.c when the attack function is called. it says 'Attack_Monster_Types' Undefined; assuming extern returning int.
I believe I have all the right headers included so I'm not sure what to do ....
i have this Stealth Injector source from internet so this program is for injecting .dll to an .exe this program was made by someone to used for cheating in online game but i need to use this program in my private server game online to tell the game client .exe the server IP, that is stored in a dll file.. the problem is i don't want the player to directly execute this program, but they need to run the game patcher first to do the patch.. so i need to put some secret parameter argument that will block player from direct execute..
i know nothing about c++ i only know that you need to use main(int argc, char *argv[]) i've try to put something like this
Code: int main(int argc, char* argv[]){ stringstream sparam; string param;
[Code].....
the code works fine but the rest of code won't executed..
i've attached the cpp and header files for you guys to check source.rar
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
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);
My errors are at the end of the program in two function calls within the definition of the InsertByValue function. g++ does not seem to recognize NumArray as a valid parameter.
#include <iostream> #include <assert.h> using namespace std; const int CAPACITY = 20;
/* Displays the content of an int array, both the array and the size of array will be passed as parameters to the function @param array: gives the array to be displayed @param array_size: gives the number of elements in the array */ void DisplayArray (int array[], int array_size);
but I can't seem to extend this to 64-bits. I've tried #if __SIZEOF_POINTER__ == 4 enum constants { UNDEFDATA = 0xDeadBeef }; }; // enum constants #elif __SIZEOF_POINTER__ == 8 enum constants { UNDEFDATA = 0xDeadBeefDeadBeef }; #endif
with: if (ptr == UNDEFINED)
but get a message saying the '==' is undefined (I understand this)
Is there any way to setup so that I can change the size of my constants so that the comparisons will always work correctly? I've tried a 'typedef' but the compiler complains at
'typedef unsigned long long ADDR' // won't accept, and static const SlipCellBase * const TEMPORARY = (SlipCellBase&)0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF; // illegal conversion
First I wrote a Binary-tree class to draw a binary tree on the window. The nodes were small circles. Then I become wanted to change the shape of the nodes from circles to triangles by another class, Binary-tree-derived which is derived from Binary-tree class. I wrote the below code to do the job but I get two errors about constructors. First, code:
/* The binary-tree class, one of the topics that has been said in Programming Principles and Practice using C++ book by Biarne Stroustrup. This code is written by R Abbasi (s.rabbasi@yahoo.com) */ #include <Simple_window.h>
[Code].....
Errors are:

How do you write a default constructor?I need to use a default constructor that will initialize the data members: - salesPerson to “Unknown” - noOfWeek to 13 - amount to point to an array of thirteen 0.00s.
This is my weeklysales class
class WeeklySales { char* salesPerson; double* amount; // Pointer to an array int noOfWeek; // Size of the array };
A compiler auto created default constructor is called a synthesized default constructor. It will initialize the built-in members to 0 or not depends on where the class object is defined? if I define a class
class point{ public: double x, y; };
if I define point point1; in global scope then point1.x and point1.y will be initialized to 0, if I define point point2; in a local scope, then its x and y won't be initialized? If it is like this, then I believe if there are built-in type members in a class, then the synthesized default constructor is almost useless!
I have an inherited class that essentially manages a Qt Window.
It is as follows (prototype below):
class QTMyOpenGLWindow : public QWindow, protected QOpenGLFunctions { Q_OBJECT
[Code] ....
Now, I can understand the confusion of the compiler, but the functionality as I laid it out works for me (I can create the class with just specifying the parent and also have the option of preventing auto-initialization when creating). But, is there a better approach?
That would throw a compile error, since the first argument that is being passed to the function (value) is considered the first argument in the declaration (a), which is of type t1. So, is there a way to force my function to consider value as the second argument instead of the first one? I am aware that this could be done using overloading, but the larger the amount of arguments, the larger amount of possibilities, so it might end up with a huge list of overloads. The best case scenario would be being able to set things like:
void function(t1 a=16,t1 b=0,t2 c=1){/*body*/}; function(b=3,a=0); but I'm not aware of such feature in C++.
Would it be possible to design some sort of macro system to take care of this?
So a long time ago I messed around with DirectX but I don't remember where it gets placed by default. I want to just get rid of the SDK and get the up to date version of it.
I have developed an application in C++ that creates some text files in a directory chosen by the user.
How can I ask the user set a Default Directory Path (and some other default parameters) so that she doesn't have to enter the same data in the GUI everytime the application is run.
The application has been developed using Qt Creator.
I've been pondering which of these 2 approaches would make for the best interface for a library: Defining custom exceptions with specific names for different error scenarios but with standard behaviour, or simply using the predefined exceptions from the STL.
This is my current approach: Code: namespace rpp { class ConnectionError : public std::exception { public: ConnectionError(const std::string &p_err);
[Code] .....
This seems to make for more descriptive code but it adds no functionality and the implementations are completely identical, which seems "off" to me, somehow.
To my best understanding, the compiler will provide me with a deafult constructor only if there are no any user defined constructors, at all. Now consider the following code:
Code: class MyClass { private: int m_data; public: MyClass(int init):m_data(init){cout<<"Ctr called"<<endl;}
[Code] ....
How is it that suddenly, there is a default constructor?
Same solution that I was having compiler errors on yesterday. We're working with inheritance and the program is supposed to be to create and display information for default Employee objects, Hourly Employee objects and Salaried Employee objects. Everything compiles as is, but I'm running into two issues that I can't figure out.
1) In both the hourly and salaried objects, the wage, hours, and management level attributes all displaying their default values. I'm almost positive that this has something to do with the str to int and str to double conversions that I'm using (currently have atoi and atof in the file, but I've also tried stringstream, but still had to same problem). Any thoughts as to what I'm missing?
2) the assignment calls for the Benefit benefit member in Employee.h to be protected. However this makes the member unaccessible when I try to use it in the EmployeeMain.cpp in order to set the input for the Benefit class members. I had to make the Benefit benefit member public again to get it to compile. How would I set the input for the Benefit class members while the Benefit benefit member is protected?
I would like to write a program that gives you a few default values. Now you can keep these values by pressing the enter key or you can change them by just typing in new ones and confirm the new values by pressing the enter key again.
Thats as far as i got on my own but it doesn't really work. what i can do to fix this.
Code:
#include<stdio.h> #include <conio.h> int getInt(int min, int max); int main () { int a[3] = {3,4}; int b; int code;
