C :: Functions To Prove Variables Not Changing By Another Function
Jul 8, 2013
It is said that variables in a function cannot be changed by another function. Only by using pointers can variable values be changed. I am writing some functions to try to prove this theory, but I can't get it right.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void){
int x = 10;
printf("default x value is %d ",x);
[Code] ......
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
void try1(int x){
printf("x in try1 is %d
", x);
x++;
printf("x in try1 after ++ is %d
I need making my main function to run while not having any if or for statements. It can only declare variables and functions. Since my main function has command line arguments, how to so.
// This program counts all the words in a given file.
So I need to make a main function have no if/for/etc. statements so I need to move it to another function and call it in main. The problem is that it's a command line argument function so I'm confused on how it works. Here's an example:
Code:
#include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { printf("The program name %s", argv[0]); if (argc == 2) { printf("Argument supplied is %s", argv[1]); } else if (argc > 2) { printf("Too many arguments");} else { printf("One argument");} }
How can i make this into two functions with main only declaring variables and calling other functions?
I want to make a basic RPG text based games with multiple classes. but I wan to know how In one class I make a variable and in another and can call the variable.
for exmaple
class2: int hi = 1; class1: class2 a; hi = 2; cout << hi; 2
Every time screen2() runs it always outputs "Numbers entered were 0 and 0". I want the numbers that were entered in by the user in screen1() to be displayed.
I have this code where I am trying to retrieve the contents of the variable dev1 and dev2. for some reason when i compile and run I am getting 0 and 0.
I'm truing to write a function that gets an array of arrays, and returns an array. I placed the code I'm using below, but I'm getting all kinds of errors. How is the right way to do this?
Now the book says to take the following program and add a member function to the CarType class which prints the values of all of its data members. Add two more data members which are relevant for cars. Add the use of these data members to the program (to the assignment statements for MyCar, to the operator prompt and input inside the getYourCar function, and to the print function you have created).
Here is my code. Whenever I run it, it takes my assigned variables in MyCar and prints those instead of the one which the user is inputting.
#include <iostream> #include <iomanip> #include <string> using namespace std; using namespace std; struct CarType { string maker;
I have a project for class where I have to create a structure and get user input for 3 structure variable arrays of 10. I am trying to figure out how I can use the same function to fill my different section of variables.
My Structure is an employee file of ID number, name, hours, payrate, and then gross pay. I have to create a function for each input function. I am confused on how to pass the structure variable so that I do not have to write 3 functions for each input. I would like to be able to get all the info for the first structure variable and then recall the same 5 functions for the next before moving along. I hope that I have been able to make this clear. Here is my code:
There are, or course, better ways to do this, but I need to stick to some rules:
(1) Use only pointer variables and not arrays or structs. (2) Use the three functions shown--regardless of easier methods.
The program should ask for some input, operate on those numbers, and then display the results. I know I am confused over these things:
(1) All that syntax using '*' and '&' or neither. (2) How to use the char type correctly. (3) How to use a char type input as an operator (a + b). (4) How to use the pointer of the operator variable (+,-,*,/) in an actual equation.
I know how to make a namespace i just want to know why someone would. because it just seems like a way to show a bunch of variables and functions into a compact area.
I was talking to someone earlier about how to change the value of something from a function, and they said what was needed was to use a ** to change something, and was wondering if I could get a walk - through of what happens. I understand a single pointer well enough, but a pointer through a pointer is kind of confusing to me. Here is a simple example.
Code: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #define SIZE 5 int add(int ** TOP, int * stack);
int *stack = NULL;
[Code] ....
Why is it that when the program prints the address of TOP in main, it is different than the address of TOP in the function? Is it because it is a different instance of TOP because it is in the function? When I put the number on *TOP, and come out of the function back to main, it then says the address of TOP is the number entered into *TOP, and am not sure why. And the **TOP ++ at the end I am thinking it increments malloc by 1, therefore bringing the pointer TOP up to point at the next element, or am I completely off base there?
I have the following void function devised to assign "+1" or "-1" to each element of a matrix at random. While the function does what I want, when I print the values of the matrix all are set to zero:
#include <vector> #include "aRand.h" #include <iostream> void initConfig(std::vector<std::vector<int> > premat, int nL, int nN) { int * pnRand; pnRand = 0;
[Code]...
The function pnRand_plus returns a pointer to an array of random numbers from 1 to 100, with seed time(NULL) + i. The values printed in main are zero, despite the values printed during the function run are fine (-1s and +1s).
I need a variable that will just hold a function that I can change in the middle of the application, even to different function type with different amount of parameters ... is this even possible? At the moment I have this
How do I point this one to the variable special, when I want to call it like that (or something similar)
(reply.special)("test string");
is this even possible? if so, how? i tried to create function pointer (didnt compile at all) or use template (neither did this) and how to do this as I discovered functional lib just a while ago.
I am an IT student currently learning linked list. I have a problem with my code here. After I call addFront() my list doesn't change when I display it. How do I somewhat change/fill my list without changing the function type? I know it works on pointers still messed up with linked list.
#include <iostream> struct Object { int size; // Want to avoid this because size is (almost always) constant Object (int s): size(s) {} // for every Object subtype.
[Code] ....
I want this:
#include <iostream> struct Object { virtual int getSize() const = 0; }; struct Block: Object { int getSize() const {return 5;} // always 5, except once in a blue moon it may change
[Code] ....
The Decorator Pattern works (getSize() can then return 6) but it is a poor choice for my program because it will cause more problems (due to many containers holding its old address, among other things. Any way to achieve this without any change of address, and without creating new storage somewhere, either inside the class or outside the class (too much responsibility to follow that stored value for the rest of the program just for this rare change, and creating a data member uses up too much memory for the many, many Block instances)?
ok I have a class Player with lots of variables and im gonna call a function to checkXp, if I call it with the whole player object does it use a lot more memory then if I just passed the couple things I need?
ex checkXP(Player* play) // this is a whole object of player or checkXP(play->getXP(), play->getLVL()) // the variables I want.
I just realized I may not be able to modify anything from player in the checkXP() function
question 1: does passing the whole object use more memory question 2: if I passed as just the variables I need, I wont be able to modify anything of object play?
In my program I created three separate return functions. Each function is labeled:
int boxes(int x, int y); int leftOver(int x, int y); double avgItemsShipped(int x, int y, int z);
Is it bad programming practice to use 'x' and 'y' in all of my functions? Should I use the this keyword inside the function? We use this often in my Java class and I know it exists in C++, but I haven't actually seen it used (or used it myself yet).
This is a c program that is failing to compile. The error occurs in the calcLabs() function. The error called out is (btw, I'm using VS 2010): Error4error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'type'
I don't understand why the compiler is not letting me declare variables in the calcLabs() function!
