C++ :: Storing Strings To A Vector?
Jul 13, 2014
I'm having trouble storing a string in a vector.
I keep getting the errors in lines 51-54: no suitable constructor exist to convert from
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include "Movie.h"
using namespace std;
vector <string> movieActors;
void promptForMovie(Movie & myMovie);

I am having trouble storing strings into an array. Basically I have a console program where it has an option. This is just an example;
Code:
char name[max];
char listofnames[maxname];
int counter;
....
printf("Add names
");
And how can I print it?

I have two classes, Parent and Child, where Parent contains a vector that is used to store instances of Child. When I create an instance of Parent, three instances of Child are also created in Parent's constructor and stored in the vector. I understand that push_back() creates a shallow copy of each Child instance and that Child's destructor is called each time the loop (inside Parent's constructor) iterates. The problem is that because Child's destructor is called each time the local variable child goes out of scope, the memory previously allocated in Child's constructor is destroyed and when Child's destructor is called again later on in the program to get rid of the copy stored in vector, the program crashes. I can fix this by overriding the default copy function or by storing pointers to objects instead of copies of objects. I don't really need to use vectors in this case since I always have three children in one parent but I'm doing this as a learning exercise and would prefer to use vectors.
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
class Child {
public:
Child() {
std::cout << "child constructor called" << std::endl;

I'm trying out the code below; it runs and produces the output I'd expect, but could it lead to undefined behavior?
To test with, I show the key and wait for user input; if the input doesn't match the value, the iterator is stored in the vector.
map<string, string> test;
map<string, string>::iterator it;
vector<map<string, string>::iterator> bad_input;
string input;
test["key 1"] = "value 1";
[Code] ....
I am also interested in knowing if I can use an iterator to walk through the vector? I tried
vector<map<string, string>::iterator>::iterator v_it;
for(v_it = bad_input.begin(); v_it != bad_input.end(); ++v_it)
cout << v_it-> ??
However, I couldn't figure out how to access "first" and "second" using this method. Is it possible to do so?

I've got something I'm trying to accomplish, but crashes my program.
I've got my server and client code.
Having the client send a message they type (char Chat[1024]) And the server receiving the chat (char recv_chat[1024]) only to send it to all connected clients again. Which the server sends the recv_chat.
The client receives it (char recv_chat[1024]). This works, and the client gets the right info. However, I'm trying to store it using a vector. I'm sure I've tried any way possible.
Client storing vector pseudo-code:
vector<char*> SaveChat;
int main () {
while (true) {
if (newClientConnected) {
[Code]....
This doesn't work, and crashes my application. I've tried changing the vector to string, const char*, basically anything I can with no avail.

I have a hierarchy of Actions (NonMovingActions and MovinActions each with sub-hierarchies). Actions class has an abstract function.
Code:
class Action {
public:
Action(Agent& agent, ...):agent(agent),..{}
virtual ~Action(void);
virtual bool run()=0;
[Code]...
It appears that C++ does not allow this (in Java it was possible). Compiler objects that Action class is abstract (and cannot be instantiated?!)
Code: error C2259: 'Action' : cannot instantiate abstract class
1- May I know what do I not understand here? We cannot refer to sub-class instances with a reference of parent class type?
2- Should I use vector of pointers instead or what?

I have a file where the first column shows letters, second column shows numbers.
How could I make it to print everything exactly how it is in the file – a vector/array with strings and integers?

I'm trying to write a program that reads in from a .txt file the movie title, rating, director, actors etc. All I want to do is to just sort movie titles alphabetically and print all its attributes(director, actors). I tried using sort( movies.begin(), movies.end()) method, but it doesn't work.
here's my code btw:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <fstream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <iterator>
#include "Movie.h"

I'm trying to create a database/search engine program and I'm having remove duplicate strings from a vector. I'm mostly just trying to make it so that if 2 or more movie have the same title in the database, it will remove the duplicates and just print out one copy of the movie console. I tried using the unique() command, but it doesn't seem to work.
code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>

I thought that C++0x made it possible for vectors to be initialized with an initializer list, such as:
Code: vector<vector<string> > vv {{"hello", "goodbye", ""}};
I tried this syntax in both VS 2010 & VS 2012 Express For Desktop, and I get the same error in both compilers:
compiler error: non-aggregates cannot be initialized with initializer list
To put the code above in context, I'm going to have a .txt file with hundreds of thousands of string arrays, in initializer list format, such as:
{"string","string","string","","",""},{"string","string","string","","",""},{"string","string","string","","",""}...and so on
The first 3 strings in each array will be non-zero in length, and the last 3 strings in each array will be empty, as shown above.
I want to be able to cut and paste the arrays right into the declaration, either with:
string arrayOfArrays[0][6] = {{"string","string","string","","",""},{"string","string","string","","",""},{"string","string","string","","",""}...and so on };
or
vector<vector<string> > vecOfVectors = {{"string","string","string","","",""},{"string","string","string","","",""},{"string","string","string","","",""}...and so on };
I know I can do the first, but apparently the second declaration method with vectors won't work. I would like to work with vectors, but I'm not sure about the initialization. The .txt file will be what it is, so the initialization will have to be able to work with its 'array-like initializer' format.

How could I search a vector element with multiple strings
i.e. vector.at(i) = This is a test
How could I search that to look for the word "test" in that element?

I have a vector of
strings.vector input;
bob
sam
bob
sammom
aardvark
money
aardvark
wanted
I need to remove the duplicates but each part of the vector corresponds to the next location. They are pairs.
ex. bob corresponds to the its definition, which is sam.
I need to keep the first instance, so keep bob and sam, but remove the second instance of bob, so remove bob and sammon. Only the first instance of the pair need to kept.
It doesn't matter if the sam and sammon don't match, all that matters is the first part of the pair.
The vector is already in alphabetical order. I can't use the algorithm library.

The code is supposed to take either an int or a string (and their respective vectors) and insert a given int or string into the vector in ascending order. My code works properly for ints, but it's having a problem with strings.
The order I get with the strings given is
penguin
banana
great
jungle
For some reason comparing penguin to banana/great doesn't give the expected result. The template attached only includes the function and the private vectors needed for the function.
template<class T>
class orderedList {
public:
void insert(const T& item);
private:
vector<T> list;
int total = 0;

I have read that the Erase-remove idiom is the way to go. I have a rough understanding of how this works but am unsure whether I can implement a match-counter along with it.
For counting alone, I would use something like this:
Code:
std::vector<std::string> v; // contains duplicate strings in different elements
std::string term = "foo"; // search term, changing at runtime as well
unsigned int matches = 0;
for( auto e : v ) {
if( e == term ) {
[Code] .....
I'm not sure how (or if) I can combine the two things. That is, I don't know how to integrate a function comparing two (changing) strings into the remove_if() method. Nor do I know how to increment a counter during iteration.
The vector is extremely large, so speed is paramount. I think there are many other avenues for optimization, but decreasing the vector's size for each consecutive search could deliver a big speed boost for subsequent searches I imagine, as traversing it holds the biggest cost.

I am programming a translator, and I have it so that it detects words with spaces both in front of and behind them, so I did "string.append(space);" where space equals " ". That added a space to the end, but I still need a space added to the front.

I have a problem who must print the sentences who have lenght more than 20 characters. I dont know why, but it prints just the first words. Look what i made.
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main()
[Code]....
For instance :
Give the number of sentences : 3
First sentence : I like the website bytes.com
Second sentence : I like more the website bytes.com
Third sentence : bytes.com
After I compile the program it should print the first two sentences.

I have a cpp app that reads in a number of files and writes revised output. The app doesn't seem to be able to open a file with a ' in the file name, such as,
N,N'-dimethylethylenediamine.mol
This is the function that opens the file :
Code:
// opens mol file, reads in rows to string vector and returns vector
vector<string> get_mol_file(string& filePath) {
vector<string> mol_file;
string new_mol_line;
// create an input stream and open the mol file
ifstream read_mol_input;
read_mol_input.open( filePath.c_str() );
[Code] ....
The path to the file is passed as a cpp string and the c version is used to open the file. Do I need to handle this as a special case? It is possible that there could be " as well, parenthesis, etc.

Lets say that I have a vector of vector of integers. <1,2,3,4> , <5,6,7,8>, <10,11,12,13>
How do I make a function that creates vector of vector of every different integers?
<1,5,10> , <1,5,11>, <1,5,12>, <1,5,13>
<1,6,10> , <1,6,11>, <1,6,12>, <1,6,13>
<1,7,10> , <1,7,11>, <1,7,12>, <1,7,13>
<1,8,10>, <1,8,11>, <1,8,12>, <1,8, 13>
<2,5,10>, <2,5,11>, <2,5,12>, <2,5,13>
and so on...

I have asked a related question before, and it was resolved successfully. In the past, when I wanted to use std::max_element in order to find the maximum element (or even sort by using std::sort) of a vector of structures according to one of the members of the structure, all I had to do was to insert a specially designed comparison function as the third argument of the function std::max::element. But the latter comparison function naturally accepts two arguments internally.
For instance, here is a test program that successfully finds the maximum according to just one member of the structure:
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
[Code] ....
And the output was this, as expected:
Maximum element S.a of vector<S> vec is at: 9
[I]max element of vec.a between slot 3 and slot 6 is: 6, and its index is: 6 vec[6].a = 6
[I]max element of vec.a between slot 4 and slot 7 is: 7, and its index is: 7 vec[7].a = 7
[I]max element of vec.a between slot 5 and slot 8 is: 8, and its index is: 8 vec[8].a = 8
[I]max element of vec.a between slot 6 and slot 9 is: 9, and its index is: 9 vec[9].a = 9
However, I now need to search and find an element of vector<myStruct> according to just one member of myStruct, instead of finding the maximum or sorting as before. This presents a problem because the function std::find does not accept such a comparison function as its third argument.
This was the description of the std::find function that I found: find - C++ Reference
Code:
template <class InputIterator, class T> InputIterator find (InputIterator first, InputIterator last, const T& val);
I could also find another function called std::find_if, but this only accepts a unary predicate like this: find_if - C++ Reference
Code:
template <class InputIterator, class UnaryPredicate> InputIterator find_if (InputIterator first, InputIterator last, UnaryPredicate pred);
And once again this is either inadequate of I don't see how to use it directly, because for the third argument I would like to insert a function that takes two arguments with a syntax like this:
Code:
int x=7;
std::vector<S>::iterator result;
result = std::find(vec.begin(), vec.end(), []( const (int x, const S & S_1) { return ( x == S_1.a ) ; } ) ;
Is there another std function that I can use to make search and find an element according to just one member of myStruct?
Or perhaps there is a clever way to pass two arguments to the unary predicate.

I have a project to do in C and coming form Java I miss all the included features that are missing from C! I need to be able to store key value pairs in an quick and memory efficient manner. I've looked up using hash maps but I'm very new to C so don't really understand even the basic ones. I've looked at using a multi-dimensional array as I'm more comfortable with arrays but I'm unsure if that would count as a memory efficient and quick method?

So i'm creating bank system. Where I have function that reads the text file (balance), and I make a deposit, which adds what was in the balance = deposit + balance.
But this is what is happening. In my text file i have number 10. Function balance works fine and reads 10 from the text file.
When I make a deposit add a value to the balance, if i add 7, the new balance is 17. And i check the text file shows me is 17. Which is correct.
The problem is here. If i make another deposit, without closing the program, for example i add 5 to the balance, the new balance should be 22 = 17(balance) + 5(deposit), because 17 was store on the text file and it was the balance that was store on the text file on the last time. But it shows me 15, it adds the balance that the program first started which was 10(balance) + 5(deposit), but should had had be 17 + 5.
When I close the program the value on the text file, is 15, that was the last sum that i did.
int main()
{
double balance = 0;
balance = currentBalance(balance);
menu(balance);
[Code].....
