C++ :: Finding Location Of A Vector - How To Retrieve Random Card (1 - 52)
Aug 7, 2014
I'm doing a card game and i'm unclear on how to retrieve the card by doing vectors. after i use use srand() in main and create a rand() in a function, how can i retrieve that random card 1-52?
so far i know that i have to find the length of the card. but i don't know why i have to save the location onto another variable and erase the card of the specified index before returning the card out the function.
int location = rand() % cards.size();
I don't know why i need to do this and how do i reinitialize the variable cards into another variable?
I know how to find the occurrences of a character in a string, but I have a more specific problem.
For example, consider the string: " C 1.3825 4.0000 12.0000 1.9133 0.1853 0.9000 -1.1359 4.0000 "
I want to extract a vector that contains the positions of every first character for each number.
For the example above, the output should be a vector with elements [6 15 23 33 etc...]. These are the positions of the first character for every number.
I need to be able to do this for any arbitrary string with any arbitrary amount of numbers and characters in it (I also need to account for negative numbers).
I want to find that whether the 2d Vector table having duplicate or not. I can see lot of programs for removing duplicates by using unique STL algorithm. Which is the best way to find " is Duplicate or not " for 100,000 Records.
I just created an object who store a vector of size 7 with random numbers between 1 and 36. If i declare two objects i get different vector, but running many times the program i always get the same vectors . For example, if i declare one object, even if i run any time the program, i always get the same numbers.
You are to write a C++ program to generate random integers in the range [ LOW = 1, HIGH = 10000 ] and to store them in a vector < int > of size VEC_SIZE = 250. Then, sort the contents of the vector (in ascending order) and display it on stdout.
To sort the contents of a vector, use the sort ( ) function from the STL. In addition to the main ( ) routine, implement the following subroutines in your program:
• void genRndNums ( vector < int >& v ) : This routine generates VEC_SIZE integers and puts them in vector v. Initializes the random number generator (RNG) by calling the function srand ( ) with the seed value SEED = 1, and generates random integers by calling the function rand ( ).
• void printVec ( const vector < int >& v ) : This routine displays the contents of vector v on stdout, printing exactly NO_ITEMS = 12 numbers on a single line, except perhaps the last line. The sorted numbers need to be properly aligned on the output. For each printed number, allocate ITEM_W = 5 spaces on stdout.
Programming Notes:
• You are not allowed to use any I/O functions from the C library, such as scanf or printf. Instead, use the I/O functions from the C++ library, such as cin or cout. • Let v be a vector of integers, then the call: sort ( v.begin ( ), v.end ( ) ) sorts the elements of v in ascending order. The detailed description of the sort ( ) routine can be found on the course web site and in the course textbook. • Execute the srand ( ) function only once before generating the first random integer with the given seed value SEED. The rand ( ) function generates a random integer in the range [ 0, RAND_MAX ], where the constant value RAND_MAX is the largest random integer returned by the rand ( ) function and its value is system dependent. To normalize the return value to a value in the range [ LOW, HIGH ], execute: rand ( ) % ( HIGH – LOW + 1 ) + LOW.
I tried to sort a large numbers of vector of random integers with std::sort(), but when the number increases over 10M, std::sort returns all zero in values. Does std::sort have a limitation of input numbers?
I'm currently writing a chunk of code that will take inputs from the user and push them into a vector until 0 is entered, at which point it will break the loop and continue on with the rest of the program. This is nothing I haven't done before, but I have never encountered this error.
The code chunk looks like this:
typedef vector <int> ivec; int main() { ivec nums; int input; while (true) { cout << "Enter a positive integer, or 0 to quit" << endl;
[Code] ....
My standard testing input has been 3 5 6 3 8 (then 0 to quit), so one would expect my sequence to be 3 5 6 3 8...but instead after the 8 I get a random number value that is usually quite large and I cannot figure out where it comes from (ex. 3 5 6 3 8 201338847).
The deck of cards so it is populated with all 52 cards. Once you have populated the deck, you need to shuffle the deck. Here is a simple algorithm you might consider for this purpose:
For each card up to the middle of the deck generate a random number modulus the size of the deck, swap the current card with the card at that location done
To implement this requirement you need to implement and use the following functions:
i was reading trying to get it how to display the out put, all i got to is how to declare the arrays. How to start it also i saw some examples have " struct card"
I have to develop an application named smart client score board in c#
Main requirements for this application are that application should display the live scores, detailed score board, running commentary (in text), players and team profiles, statistics of matches, results and fixtures for cricket.
sort out websites which support rss feeds for full score card.
I want to get or view the SIM card number from the dongle (the dongle will b already connected to the computer where the SIM card will be inserted into it) but the coding should be done by C programming / Language.
I found a card shuffling function on a long dead thread.
Code: for (int x = 52; x > 0 ; x--) { y = rand() % x; temp = deck[x]; deck[x] = deck[y]; deck[y] = temp; }
I do not understand how numbers are not repeated in the function. It seems like it would be possible to get 2 cards with the same number with the above function.
I also am getting incorrect numbers. It seems like I should only get numbers between 1 and 52 (which is what I want). However, I am getting the number 0, and some number between 1 and 52 will be missing, but I will have a total of 52 unique numbers.
I played around with using 51 instead of 52, x > 1, and changed to --x and none of those produced the desired results.
We have to ask the user to select either a Visa card type or Mastercard type. Then, we must ask the user to enter the 16 digit card number and determine if the card is valid or not using module 10. If the answer is zero then it is a valid Visa card and if the answer is zero the answer is a valid MasterCard. My problem is that the I have not separated the validation for MasterCard separate from visa.
Here is what I have so far:
#include <iostream> #include <iomanip> #include <string> using namespace std; int main() {
I'm writing a card game and I'm having trouble getting the first part of it right, which is picking out a random card from the deck and displaying it to screen. So it's supposed to display a different card every time i run the function in the program. The problem is, I keep getting the same output every time "Nine of Hearts".
This is what I have so far,
#include <iostream> using namespace std; //declare two string arrays //one holds the "suit" of the cards, the other hold the "value" string suit[] = {"Diamonds", "Hearts", "Spades", "Clubs"}; string faceValue[] = {"Two", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six", "Seven", "Eight", "Nine", "Ace", "King", "Queen", "Jack"};
[Code] ......
This is the output I keep getting every time I run the program:
Nine of Hearts
This "random selection" function I'm trying to do is meant to work as a means of shuffling the cards in the beginning of every round in the game and displaying only the top card from the deck.
I almost finished a program but am stuck on sorting the hand im dealing with qsort. sorting by the face values and if they have the same faces im suppose to follow this suit order to determine which one is greater (Clubs, Diamond, Hearts, and Spades) how would i adjust my comparator function to do this for me ?
My specific request is for retrieving values that are stored to a CompactFlash card. I am able to store values (we call them recipes) to the CompactFlash card as .csv file. I just haven't been able to figure out the code to retrieve this information back to the touchscreen.
Code: // Create a new folder if it doesn't exist CreateDirectory("/recipes"); //Create the file if it doesn't exist CreateFile("/recipes/recipe.csv"); //open the file hfile = OpenFile("/recipes/recipe.csv", 2);
[Code]....
Now with that said, I would like to retrieve these values from the .csv file.
The doubt is. I have a test_xpm function and I need to call this char array but this is so many pointers that I can't even figure out where I'm pointed to (?)
Code: int test_xpm(unsigned short xi, unsigned short yi, char *xpm[])
I tried something like read_xpm(xi, yi, *xpm[0]); but I'm guessing I need to index that array and run all those chars in order to show them.
I am struggling to finish up my game of War. There are a few problems I have ran in to. My shuffle function seems to work fine. I believe my problem lies within my game rules. When I run my code, the game usually plays all the way through but almost always ends in 'War'. I am struggling to get the game to restart after running once. I am not sure how to clear the list and start over.
I'm writing a program with two classes, one that contains a card's rank and suit and the other contains pile of these cards. I'm having trouble when it comes to adding a pile to another pile...here's what I have so far:
class Card //Card class declaration { private: int rank; //invoking rank char suit; //invoking suit public: void setCard(int r,char s); //determines card suit/rank
[Code] ....
I understand that I'm calling my pile arrays incorrectly, but I'm not sure why.
This is a playing card deck creator and shuffler i made yesterday. It is very simple now, but i believe that it could easily be implemented into a card game program of some sort.
