I have a big problem with searching a solution for getting access on getters and setters of the derived classes of an interface.
Interface:
class IfParam
{
public:
IfParam();
};
Now I have a derived class for each needed datatype. E.g.
class Int32Param: public IfParam
{
public:
Int32Param();
Int32Param(IfParam* l_param);
int getValue();
void setValue(int l_value);
private:
[Code]...
My Problem now ist getting access to the getters/setters over the interface. I wish I could initialize the Params like this:
IfParam* param = new Int32Param();
param.setValue(12);
IfParam* param = new StringParam();
param.setValue("String");
But to have access to the getter/setter I have to declaire the functions in the interface as generic functions. But how? I tried to use temlates, but then i have to declaire IfParam as IfParam<int>. Thats a problem because in my original program I do not know which TypeParam the IfParam interface will be initialized with when I create the pointer.
I need to access the functions of the derived classes from a vector of objects of base classes (can't believe I wrote it). Here a Diagram for you to understand:
So as you see, I need the function Use() from the Usable class, to be able to be called from the vector like:
Say in my main class, I have a function fight(Player p1, Player p2) and I would like to do something like this in the fight function, given that p1 is the human and p2 is the computer:
//function fight() fight(Player p1, Player p2) { p1.func2(); } //using function fight() fight(human, computer);
When I compile the program, I got this: error: ‘class Player’ has no member named 'func2()' What can I do to allow p1 to call func2 inside fight()? I'm not allowed to use pointers as the parameter for fight() and have to use the signature fight(Player p1, Player p2).
The compiler creates virtual table for the base class and also for the derived class whether we override it or not.
That means each class has separate virtual table. when we get the size of the each class with out any data members... the size of base is -- 4 bytes(64 bit) and the size of derived is -- 1
The size of base class 4 is correct since it creates the virtual pointer internally and its size is member data + virtual pointer, but it in this case I have included any data members so it has given 4 byts.
But why in case of derived is 1 byte, since it the derived class has overridden the virtual function from base, this will also contains the virtual pointer which will be pointing to derived class Vtable, it the size of the class suppose to be 4 instead of 1 byte.
I'm a little confused by my programming assignment this week. I've been working at it Wednesday and I've made progress but I'm still confused as to how I'm supposed to do this. The class I made is called Stack, and it's derived from a template class called StackADT. We also utilize a class called unorderedLinkedList, which is derived from a class called linkedList.
We're supposed to implement all of the virtual functions from stackADT in the Stack class. The Stack data is stored in a an unorderedLinkedList, so what I'm confused by is how to implement a few of the Stack functions because there are no functions in unorderedLinkedList which we could call to manipulate the data.
As you can see from my attached code, I'm really confused by how I'm supposed to implement the pop() and top() functions, and I also think my initializeList() function is wrong. We don't have any similar functions in unorderedLinkedList to call, so I'm at a loss of how i'd access my unorderedLinkedList. My initial thought was to call the similar functions in the class that unorderedLinkedList was derived from, linkedList, but I'm unsure of this is what we're supposed to do, or if theres actually a way to access my unorderedLinkedList without having to use the functions from the base class.
NOTE: We're not allowed to modify stackADT, unorderedLinkedList, and linkedList.
Stack.h
#include "stackADT.h" #include "unorderedLinkedList.h" template<class Type> class Stack: public stackADT<Type>{ template <class T> struct nodeType { T info; nodeType<T> *link;
Suppose I make a class, something like having the constructor being invoked first makes sense, I don't have a problem with that. But, how could I limit access to functions until certain functions are called? Perhaps this isn't built into the language so you can't. And maybe this problem never comes up. For example if you have a set() and get() functions, if they are both public functions, there doesn't seem to be a way for the compiler at least now if set() never gets called you shouldn't call get(). I just see this as error prone if you need to use libraries, you have to know not to do it from documentation instead of something the compiler can check.
I would like to access (use) a (virtual) method declared in a base class via a pointer to an object belonging to a derived class, which overrides the base method. Is it possible? Up to now I have not been successful. I am including a program with a more detailed description.
// declare a base class T0 with virtual function P, and a derived // class T1 which overrides P; declare two ptrs, to T0 and T1, // and generate corresponding objects; calling P via the two // ptrs gives expected result; however I would like to take // ptr to T1 object & execute the base function (declared // in T0); is it possible? I tried all possible casts but nothing // works; no matter how I cast the pt1 ptr, I always end up executing // the overriding function (declared in T1) // actual output (debian 7, gcc 4.7.2-5):
A static function can be called in relation to a particular object by a statement such as the following:
aBox.Afunction(10);
The function has no access to the non-static members of aBox. The same function could also be called without reference to an object. In this case, the statement would be:
CBox::Afunction(10);
where CBox is the class name. Using the class name and the scope resolution operator tells the compiler to which class Afunction() belongs."
#include <iostream> #include "curve1.h" #include "curve2.h" using namespace std; int main() { Curve1 curve1Obj; Curve2 curve2Obj;
[Code]...
Base class Score has two derived classes Curve1 and Curve2. There are two curve() functions, one is in Curve1 and other in Curve2 classes. getSize() returns the value of iSize.
My base class header score.h looks like this:
#ifndef SCORE_H #define SCORE_H class Score { private: int *ipScore; float fAverage; int iSize;
[Code]...
You can see that I have used curve1Obj to enter scores, calculate average and output. So if I call getSize() function with cuve1Obj, it gives the right size that I took from user in enterScores() function. Also the result is same if I call getSize() in score.cpp definition file in any of the functions (obviously). .....
The problem is when I call curve() function of Curve2 class in main (line 23) with the object curve2Obj, it creates a new set of ipScore, fAverage and iSize (i think?) with garbage values. So when I call getSize() in curve() definition in curve2.cpp, it outputs the garbage. .....
How can I cause it to return the old values that are set in curve1.cpp?
Here is my curve2.cpp
#include <iostream> #include "curve2.h" using namespace std; void Curve2::curve() { cout << "getSize() returns: " << getSize() << endl; // out comes the garbage }
Can I use a function to simply put values from old to new variables? If yes then how?
In this book, item 3 is about never treat arrays polymorphically. In the latter part of this item, the author talks about the result of deleting an array of derived class objects through a base class pointer is undefined. What does it mean? I have an example here,
Code: class B { public: B():_y(1){} virtual ~B() { cout<<"~B()"<<endl;
[Code] ....
This sample code does exactly what I want. So does the author mean the way I did is undefined?
#include <iostream> using namespace std; class superclass; class subclass1; class subclass2;
[Code] ....
As you can see I want to create a dynamically allocated storage of references to a parent class each of which can then point to a child class, how ever I do not know how to extract the child class out again from that array so i may access its variable b.
So I have a base class, lets call it base. In base I have a virtual function called update(), update just couts "base" then I have a class derived from base called derived;
it has a function called update(), update just couts "derived" then I create a vector called Vec it's initialised like this:
std::vector<base> Vec;
then I add an element into it like this
Derived DerElement; Vec.push_back(DerElement);
then when I type:
for (int i=0; i<Vec.size(); i++) { Vec.at(i).Update(); }
It outputs:
Derived DerElement2; DerElement2.Update();
and it outputs this:
#include <iostream> #include <vector> class Base { public: virtual void Update() {
I have an example where I have a variable belonging to a base class, but I would like to tell the compiler that it actually belongs to a derived class. How can I do this?
// base class: R0 // derived class: R1 // see function SetR1 for the problem class R0 { public: int a;
I just wondering if a base class can call the overridden function from a Derived class?
Here's an example:
//Base Class H class BaseClass { public: BaseClass(); virtual ~BaseClass(); virtual void functionA();
[Code] ....
So basically, when I am creating a new object of Derived class, it will initialize BaseClass and the BaseClass will call functionA but I want it to call the function overridden by Derived class.
I know that if I call newObj->functionA it will call the overridden function. Right now I want the base class to call the overridden function "this->functionA(); in BaseClass" during its initialization. Is it possible to do that?
if we don't provide the acces modifiers for base class and we need to manipulate the private data of base class in derived class. Is there anyway to acces the private data members? Here's a coding example
class A { private : int a; }; class B : public class A { public : void displayA() { cout<<a<<endl; } };
how i can acces the a of base class A in derived class B without acces modifiers.
Basically, I have a base class called MainShop and it has 3 derived classes which are SwordShop, SpellBookShop and BowShop. I want the base class to be able to call a function from one of the derived classes but no matter what i do, it doesn't seem to work!
I have two other derived classes, but its basically the same concept. I have a function in one of the derived classes and i would like to call it from the base class. This is one my derived classes:
My question is while I'm reading this book step by step line by line, I reached this example. Building classes then derived classes. How can I add derived class from a class which is already existed. In other words, I have Person Class (which is my base class) and after implementing this class, I would like to create Student Class ( which is my derived class). How can I do that from using Solution Explorer window? I can add base class and derived class together by right click on my project and then add new item then adding class + base class I know that but what if my class in this case existed and I want only to add base class? I know how to add cpp. file and h. file but I want to take advantage of using the formal style if it exists in this case.
I'm trying to call a function on a derived class that's in a vector of it's base class. I've made the code really simple for illustration purposes:
class Sprite { virtual void update(); } class Enemy : public Sprite { virtual void update();
[Code] ....
I want to be able to just call update() on the items in the vector and the derived class update() functions be called. Currently, it always calls the Sprite update, which makes sense, but it's not what I want. Is there a way to call the derived update function without knowing the type of the derived class?
I have the following code which will find the minimum size queue among a vector of queues and the minimimum size queue will enqueue(push) the int
std::vector<std::queue<int> > q void enqueue(){ int min_index = 1; std::size_t size = q.size(); for( i=2; i<size; i++) //accessing loop of queues if(q[min_index].size() > q[i].size()) min_index = i; // Now q[min_index] is the shortest queue q[min_index].push(int) }
Now my another paradigm is to do the dequeue(pop) operation in another function(shown below), bt i need to access all vector of queues declared in enqueue() function. how can i access the loop of queues given in the enqueue() function?
void dequeue(){ //q.pop operation , access all the queues in the loop of queues } willq[i].pop(int);
Access all the queues in the enqueue function and does the pop operation?
