I have the following code :
Code:
#ifndef TDYNAMICARRAY_H
#define TDYNAMICARRAY_H
namespace Massive {
template<class T>
T **AllocateDynamic2DArray(int nRows,int nCols)

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.
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;

I was having problems changing the value of my head node I passed it as an argument as head which would be the address. The parameter was defined as struct node *head. like this
bool deleteNode(struct node *head, struct node *delptr)
I tried manipultaing pointer values to change head node value but it did not work. I saw some code online which used pointer to pointers(in code below) to change head node value it worked I dont fully understand why. Would like better understanding of why.
Would also like to know why the argument call needed &head instead of just head.
remove = deleteNode(&head,found); opposed to remove = deleteNode(head,found);
#include "stdafx.h"
#include<iostream>
struct node{

I am attempting to implement function pointers and I am having a bit of a problem.
See the code example below; what I want to be able to do is call a function pointer from another pointer.
I'll admit that I may not be explaining this 100% correct but I am trying to implement the code inside the main function below.
class MainObject;
class SecondaryObject;

I have to write a program to print pascals triangle and stores it in a pointer to a pointer , which I am not entirely sure how to do. I also have to write the file and read it, then create a binary file. Assignment is attached. I am not the best with programming and especially with pointers. I will post my code below.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
void writePascalTriangle(char *fileName, int heightOfTriangle, int **triangle) {
FILE *fp;
fp=fopen("writePascalTriangle.txt", "w");

I'm making a system like twitter for class called ShoutOut.com I want to be able to get the PublicShoutOut pointer pointed to by the start iterator and assign it to firstShoutOutToDisplay and secondShoutOutToDisplay because I need that in order to pass the pointers to one of my functions. When I step through the debugger the values in start are all default values like "" and so are the values in this->firstShoutOutToDisplay but the message that start points to is being output just fine.
EDIT: got rid of irrelevant code. Am I using the correct syntax to do this?
if (start != finish) {
//getting these because a shoutout needs to be passed to the function that displays
//options for a shoutout
this->firstShoutoutToDisplay = (*start);

I have a function:
const void insertStuff(const void *key, const int value){
// I want to convert the void pointer into one
// of three types of pointers(int, string, or double)
switch(value){
case 0:
int *intPtr = key;
[Code] .....
But this causes an error of: "crosses initialization of int*intPtr"
What's the correct way of implementing this?
i really don't know why has a error in my code, that pass a pointer of pointer (name of a matrix with 2 dimensions). Here is the source code of a simple example where appears segmentation fault when execute (but compiles normal):
#include <stdio.h>
#define LINHAS 3
#define COLUNAS 5
float a[LINHAS][COLUNAS];
void zeros(float **p,float m, float n){
int i,j;

I need to make a copy of a string that is defined by char *full and copy it into a different pointer defined by char *duplicate. I have written code to do this however it will not work and i cannot figure it out my code is as follows:
char *duplicate = (char *)malloc(strlen(full) + 1);
strcpy(duplicate, full); /*Make second version of full*/
char *Ptr = strtok(duplicate, " "); /*Split duplicate up*/
I have a full program written but i know this is where the problem is because i have used printf statements to see where the program fails. I get no errors and it compiles successfully but it hits this point of the program and it just stops and windows automatically shuts down the program.
char *full is pointing to:
"To be, or not to be? That is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,"
I need to duplicate the string because i need to use strtok but i will need the original string later on so i need an unaltered version.
I'm trying to call a function via a function pointer, and this function pointer is inside a structure. The structure is being referenced via a structure pointer.
Code:
position = hash->(*funcHash)(idNmbr);
The function will return an int, which is what position is a type of. When I compile this code,
I get the error: error: expected identifier before ( token.
Is my syntax wrong? I'm not sure what would be throwing this error.
I create an instance of a base class (not derived class) and assign it to base class pointer. Then, I convert it to a pointer to a derived class and call methods on it.
why does it work, if there is a virtual table?
when will it fail?

These codes give these errors:
error: request for member 'character' in '* ptr', which is of non-class type 'datastructure*'
error: request for member 'character' in '* ptr', which is of non-class type 'datastructure*'
These errors are related to

I want to access "character" data inside the structure "trial" by a pointer to pointer "ptr" inside function "function",but I couldn't find a way to do this.
In my refference book I have got a example with a part saying to access the a[4][0] element of the array (named a) with pointer this can be written:
*((int*)a+4)
I wonder if the cast is really required. The book says it is required so that the pointer arithmetic can be done properly. However I am not sure about it. When I work with pointers defined by myself I don't use casts similar to this one. Is there a difference between a self defined pointer and array name?
I have written this code, and at first glance it does what I want, however I am worried that
a) I am overwriting the array that is apssed from chord.getPattern()
b) Im getting a memory leak that I want to get rid of, and
c) is there generally a /what is the neater way to do it:
Code:
uint8_t* ChordBuilder::invert(uint8_t count, Chord chord) {
temp = chord.getPattern();
chord.invert(true);
//TODO count is how many times to invert. Moves root aswell however
for (uint8_t i = 0; i < count; i++){
[Code] ....
temp is a member variable of ChordBuilder - and is expressed as: Code: uint8_t* temp; I dont want the pattern that chord stores, and passes with getPattern() to change - I fear it is at the moment?
I would rather not use the "new" but I cant think how to get rid of it, however Im not sure where I would need to put the "delete"?
What is the correct method of declaring pointer to multidimensional array
Code:
int array[3][4];
int *p = array;
The above code works but it shows warning. Is it an invalid way of using the pointer? the array is an address then why am i getting warning?
I have the following situation:
Code:
void myFun(float *pfMyPtr) {
float Val[] = {0.234, 0,432, 0.322, 0762, 0.984};
pfMyPtr = Val;
}
int main() {
float *pfPtr;
pfPtr = (float*) calloc (5,sizeof(float));
myFun(pfPtr);
}
I would like pfPtr to contain the values of array Val. What am I missing here?
int * ptr = new int[5];
p += 2; //p now stores address of 3rd element in array
delete [] p;
what will be deleted??? all 5 elements or just 3rd, 4th and 5th elements of array(in result making a memory leak)
Why would you ever assign a pointer to an existing array?Take this link for example. URL....I understand that pointers use dynamic memory allocation so they are much more flexible then a built in array, but if you already have an existing array, don't you already have static memory allocation for that array? Why bother assigning a pointer? Regardless of the pointer, doesn't the program still allocate static memory to the array anyway?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm given a .cpp file (for homework), this file populates an array from a file, that contains only numbers, using the standard method of populating an array but I'm supposed to modify it so that the array gets populated using a pointer, pretty simple right? Not so for me, I think I'm still confused on the concept of pointers. Here's what I have so far...
int main()
{
const int MAX_SIZE = 10;
[Code].....
I like to use a Pointer to char array. And then I would like to do a Pointer Arithmetic by incrementing the Pointer. Finally I would like to see the Addresses of the Pointer to each of the char Array Elements. I had created a program below, but I am not getting any Addresses from my Pointer.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
int ArraySize;
char ch[]= "This is a Char Pointer";
char* iPtr = ch;
[Code] ....
I'm just trying to get a handle on the uses of pointers here. Though clearly from my errors I'm missing a key concept. Here is my code: (You can assume that the array, "array_size" has values in it, I did this part in another function)
int main() {
bool **ptr_array;
int num;
int *array_size;
cin>>num;
[Code] ....
Once the program reaches the word[num] = false; some unhandled exceptions pop up.
I simplified my code a bit from my actual program and mixed up the loops, now the code should be in its correct form.
How would I go about having a pointer to an array element specificity a character in a c-string.Every thing I try will not even build.An array is already a pointer to the first location of the array right?
char *pHead;
char *pTail;
pHead = sentence[0]; <=== This wont build
pHead = &sentence[0];
pHead = sentence[0]*;
*pHead = sentence[0]; <===== this builds but is not storing anything
int sum(int (*ar2)[4], int size);
// I dont know what the ar2 is going on
int main(){
int data[3][4] = {{1,2,3,4},{5,6,7,8},{9,10,11,12}};
int total = sum(data, 3)
return 0;
}
I was struggling the last 2 days with this C script supposing to open a list of strings (input as fopen(argv[1])and allowing to access to any element of the list. I created an array *gcm[10000] and a pointer *(*gcm_ptr[10000] = &gcm. However, when I try to list whatever n[i], it always gives me the last entry.
View 4 Replies View RelatedAlright, so I have a code that's not giving me errors, but it doesn't seem to retain what I put into an array. Not sure If I'm missing something...
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main (void)
{
const char *pointer;
const char alphabet[] = "ABCDEFG";
pointer = &alphabet[5];
printf("pointing to %c of the alphabet
", pointer);
return 0;
}
Trying to get my pointer to return the letter in the [5] spot or "F". Not receiving any errors when compiling, but I seem to get different answers every time I run it.
