I'm working on a short program to calculate the mode of a vector of ints. I am new, so not extremely familiar with pointers, and passing items to functions. This is something I've struggled with (obviously, or I wouldn't be here). I am currently getting the following error when I try to compile this program using g++:
warning: pointer to a function used in arithmetic
I receive this error for the following lines: 66, 73, 75, 81.
I am not using pointers here so I do not understand why this error crops up, much less how to fix it. Here is the code I am struggling with:
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
#include <limits>
using namespace std;
vector<int> getModes(vector<int> userValues);
[Code] ....
The errors are on lines 54, 61, 63, and 69
I am stucked in a problem of overloading arithmetic operators such as "+,*" for a class in the form
class Point {
int N; // dimension of the point
double *Pos; // length of N
}
My assign operator is :
Point& Point::operator= (const Point& pt) {
N= pt.N;
if(Pos == NULL) Pos = new double[N];
memcpy(Pos, pt.Pos, N*sizeof(double));
[Code] ....
The add operator "+" is:
Point operator+( const Point& pt1, const Point& pt2 ) {
Point ptr = Point(pt); // this is a constructor
for (int i=0; i<pt1.N; i++) ptr.Pos[i] += pt2.Pos[i];
return ptr;
}
Based on the above overloading, What I am going to do is :
P = alpha*P1 + beta*P2; // alpha and beta are double constants, P1 and P2 are Points objes
It is ok with Intel C++ 14.0 compiler, but does not work with the microsoft visual c++ 2012 compiler in debug mode in visual studio 2012.
I stepped in those operators and found that visual c++ compiler deconstructs the ptr in operators "*" and "+" before its return while intel c++ finished the operation P = alpha*P1 + beta*P2; and delete those ptrs at last.
Portability of my operator overloading is worse. How to get those arithmetic operators overloading for class with pointers in it.
Dynamic memory allocation and pointer arithmetic with char arrays.
The class was given to me in a very basic skeleton form with prototypes but no implementations, along with a test function to test my implementations. I CAN NOT use any C String functions in this assignment.
The part of the program which is troubling is the append function, which just appends a parameter string215 object to the end of the current string215 object.
// Add a suffix to the end of this string. Allocates and frees memory.
void string215::append(const string215 &suffix) {
char *output = new char[str_len(data)+suffix.length()+1];
for(int x = 0; x < str_len(data); x++) {
*output = *data;
[Code]...
This portion of the code is tested in the 13th test of the test function as shown here:
string215 str("testing");
...
// Test 13: test that append works in a simple case.
curr_test++;
string215 suffix("123");
str.append(suffix);
if (strcmp(str.c_str(), "testing123") != 0) {
cerr << "Test " << curr_test << " failed." << endl;
failed++;
}
Here is the description of the append class: Add the suffix to the end of this string. Allocates a new, larger, array; copies the old contents, followed by the suffix, to the new array; then frees the old array and updates the pointer to the new one.
My program aborts at the very end of the append function execution with the error message:
Debug Assertion Failed!
Program: [Source path]dbgdel.cpp
Line: 52
Expression: _BLOCK_TYPE_IS_VALID(pHead->nBlockUse)
...
Abort || Retry || Ignore

C++ only allow addition and subtraction operation with pointer .why multiplication and division is not allowed? Then how to perform multiplication and division with pointer
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I'm trying to write a program to test if a string is palindromic using only pointers
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
void revstr(char* str)
}
[code]....
I need to change the arrays in the function int palin to pointers.
I have a the following in a header file.
Code:
struct SortedList{
void * data;
struct SortedList * next;
struct SortedList * previous;
int (*compareFunc)(void *, void *);
void (*destructor)(void *);
[Code] ....
In a .c file, I implemented the SLCreate function.
Code:
SortedListPtr SLCreate(CompareFuncT cf, DestructFuncT df){
struct SortedList item;
item.data = NULL;
item.next = (struct SortedList *) malloc(sizeof(struct SortedList));
[Code] ....
In main.c, I try to do the following:
Code:
SortedListPtr list = SLCreate(&compareInts, &destroy);
A bunch other code that does not alter list or it's contents at all.
struct SortedList item = (*list);
void * data = item.data;
if (data != NULL) {
printf(Why did data become not null???
"); }
How come my variable data became not null anymore when I haven't altered it at all....
when i pass a string pointer to a function such as string *str = new string(""); and pass that string to a handleElement() function e.g. handleElement(str), and i change the value in the function it simply doesn't change when the function exits as though it's passing it by value or something, even though it gives the pointer address.. I've now changed the code to use double pointers and pass the reference of the str pointer and it works but it seems ugly to use double pointers for this.
//handles when a new element is encountered when parsing and adds it to the parse tree
bool ParseBlock::handleElement(char cur, string *curString, int count, bool isOperator) {
countNode = new ParseNode(count);
//keep track of numbers and strings if they exist and insert them
if(!curString->empty()){
if(isNumber(*curString)

i have been fiddling with pointers but I don't understand how the proper syntax is written when I want to acces an element of an array through a pointer to a pointer...The code is all mostly just random bs for learning purposes. I marked the problem "// THIS LINE"
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdarg.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#define MAX_DATA 100
int find_average(char *iden, ...) {

This is a sample program that declares a Matrix as a structure with an array as a pointer to a pointer. The following program is supposed to store a matrix in the structure "_Matrix" and later print the matrix just entered but it fails giving me a "segmentation fault". The sample code is given below
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
struct _Matrix {
int row_size;
int col_size;
int **mat;

use 2D array in function and change the array values. I do not know if I can use array by calling from a function. I have 6 row 6 column array, I used it inside a function and for the another function I just need to change 4. row 4. column and I do not want to type array to just change one part. I do not know if there is another way or not

My coin/money change code works when there can be an exact change each time, i.e. when the 1 cent option is available. However, when the change options are only $10, $5, $1, 25 cents and 10 cents, it does not give me what I want for instance, I wanted to get change for $237.80, I was expecting to get:
23 10's, one 5, two 1's and 8 dimes. However, the code below is giving me 23 10's, one 5, two 1's and 3 quarters (there is no option left for the 5 remaining cents).how to fix it?
Code:
#include<iostream>
#include<algorithm>
#include<vector>
using namespace std;
void change(double cents, int a[]);
int main() {
double Dollars;
double cents;

So this is the code I have so far, I didn't know it had to be a dynamic array so how would I Utilize dynamic array allocation to size the modal array
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
const int arraySize = 25;
const int patternSize = 10;
[Code] ....
I have a program with the following code, and I need to be able to either change the value of any or all of the strlen or to replace one or all with a temp array value. All values of the expression are arrays.
if (::strlen(tc_buf) + ::strlen(maxtime_buf) + ::strlen(" ") < sizeof(localBuf))
how can i change the array value and display the updated value. for example this is the output beginning of the program

I wish to know how to traverse or loop through a dynamic 2D array using pointer to pointer as returned by the code above. Like I would in a static T[20][20] 2D array.
// dynamic memory for 2D char array
char **board = (char**) calloc(column, sizeof(char*));
for(int i=0; i<column; i++)
board[i] = (char*) calloc(row, sizeof(char));
//for char 255 row and colum
char temp[255];
inputFile.getline(temp,255);
[Code]...
so i want to change into vector class like Vector<board>row;
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
void define (int integer, int IntArr[0], int *IntP);
int main(void)
{int integer = 0, IntArr[1] = {0}, IntP = 0;
define(integer, IntArr, &IntP);

Why does the integer with array change after passing trough the function and the normal integer doesn't? (I know why the normal one doesn't, but I dont get the array one)
why does this give me an error when i try to change the elements of the char string array.
code:
int main(void)
{
char *name = "aaa";
// setup the name
name[0] = 'Z';
name[1] = 'e';
name[2] = 'd';
name[3] = '';
return 0;
}

One thing that I was not able to fully understand even though I read through the section on it a few times, is the for loop. I mean, I understand the premise of (statement, condition, update statement). However, I do not quite understand how a math problem is affected by this.
How this works using multiplication and division? And lastly, why would you use a do.. while loop?
This code ran well until i added in the ToLower function which is supposed to convert the char array string to lower case (based off ascii strategy -32). correct this function so it converts string to lower case and doesn't get errors.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
const int MAX = 81; //max char is sting is 80
void ToLower(char s[]);
int main(){
string y_n;

I've got this string: Code: char * string = "2+2"; I want to get an integer value = 4 from this. How would I go about doing this.

I made a program that prints out arithmetic sequence.. but problem is that,
when I enter a(first term) =5, d(differnce)=2.4 and n=3 the program prints out only first two terms not three.. for all the other numbers it works correctly..
