C :: Compress Array Of Characters
Mar 15, 2014
I am trying to write a function compress() that takes in an input of a 2-dimensional array (5x10) of character data, compresses each row of the array by replacing each run of character with a single character and the number of times it occurs, and prints on each line the result of compression in the function. For example, the row with data aabbcdddee may be compressed into a2b2c1d3e2.
Input (5x10 of characters):
aaacccdeee
sssseeeedd
aaaaaaaccc
eeedddasee
ddeeeeeggg
Output:
a3c3d1e3
s4e4d2
a7c3
e3d3a1s1e2
d2e5g3
I could achieve the compression part, but behind the compressed array, it printed out 5 extra lines of alien ASCI code, followed by printing out 5 times of everything .
Code:
void compress(char data[SIZE1][SIZE2])
{
int i,j, k,l ,count;
char data123;
printf("Enter your data (5x10 of characters): ");
for (i=0; i < SIZE1; i++) {
for (j=0; j < SIZE2; j++)
data[i][j] = getchar();
fflush(stdin);
}
[code]....

Code for c programming reads and compress each row of the array by replacing each character with a single character and the number of times it occurs?
I have issue in doing this.

so my question is i want to print characters,no string just an array of characters,i do this but it s not working,maybe i have to put the '' at the end?
Code:
int main() {
int i;
char ch[5];
for(i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
scanf("%c",&ch[i]);
[Code]...

I have an array of characters. I am trying to find "houston". The only way I can think of to do this is to use a for loop and check each individual character. Is there an easier way to do this?
char string[] = "Fishing tourism miami atlanta dallas houston";

You are programming a sideways scrolling shooter. This used 2D cell based maps that are very long (over 100,000 characters per row long, 24 rows of 40 characters on screen), and the only way you can get them to fit in memory is to compress each row of the map using run length encoding and to decompress each new column of the map on the right of the screen as the background moves from right to left. You maintain a list of pointers into the RLE data for each row of the screen. Columns that are scrolled off the left are discarded. This works very well and the game only just fits in the available memory. Suddenly the game designer decides that the game should also be able to scroll from left to right at any point, and for any duration. Stunned and dismayed, you explain to him that RLE compression only works in one direction, but he’s adamant. Figure out a way of doing what he wants without using much (no more that 1K of) extra memory. Explain the algorithm used for decompressing in both directions. (assume the RLE algorithm used is: a positive byte N followed by a byte B, indicates a run of N copies of B, a negative byte -N followed by N bytes indicates that those bytes should be copied directly. For example, the sequence 2,2,2,2,5,1,2,9,9,9,9,9 would be coded 4,2, -3,5,1,2, 5,9.)
how can I compress the information? My first thought was making a change to the RLE compression but i gave up on that thinking it wasn't possible.

I've been looking for some examples of handling dropped files from within a Windows compressed folder? I suspect, ultimately I may need to identify that it is a compressed folder and extract the contents, however I have not been able to find any information about identifying the file that may have been drug out of the folder onto the form (such as the file name, zip file path etc)

I have an idea which i will try to implement in C++,I want to compress file size through making my own numbering system which is 80-based number, I do really want to know whether this even possible ? I learnet that Hexadecimal uses symbols like A, B, C, D, E, F to represent 10,11,12,13,14,15 -- and that's what i want to do to my own numbering system but in a bigger scale .if possible: How can i use C++ to open a file in Hex mode ?

Assume you want to use a loop to process an array of characters starting from the beginning of the array. You want the loop to stop when you read the null terminator character from the array. Fill in the loop test condition that will make this work correctly.
index = 0;
ch = array[index];
while ( _____________________________)
{
// process the character
index++;
ch = array[index];
}

I have an array titled: char TypeOfSong[arraySize] where the array size is 15. I am reading data from a file into this array and the characters can be either 'C', 'D', 'E', or 'R'. Each of these characters stands for a word (sting) and when I output the array, I need the strings to show up, not the characters. I have been reading online and in my book but I can only find information on turning one array with the same characters into a string. How would I go about changing this character array with different characters into a sting?
The characters stand for:
C = Country
D = Dance Party
E = Elevator
R = Rock

I am currently having an issue with validating user input for a state abbreviation. I have an array where a list of abbreviations is stored to use as a comparison for whatever the user inputs. I have been able to get the list loaded properly but whenever i go to compare, it always comes back as true even if it isn't. Here is some relevant code:
static char stateTable[STATE_TABLE_SIZE][STATE_SIZE];
int main() {
char buffer[40], *testCustName[40], testState[5], testCode;
buffer[0] = '
