C++ :: Using Variable In Pow Function?
Oct 15, 2014I'm trying to figure out what is wrong with this:
static_cast<int>((pow(x, counter+1)) % 10)
it says "more than one instance of overloaded function "pow" matches the argument list"

C++ :: Store Function To A Variable And Call It Using That Variable?
Oct 15, 2013I want to store few different functions to a variable for different structs/classes and then call it later using that variable, is it possible? something like
struct item {
int ID;
int special; // for function
};
item Key;
Key.special = UseKey(KEY_KING);
// now when I want to call function "UseKey(KEY_KING)" I want to use "Key.special", like this
if(iCurrRoom == ROOM_KING)
Key.special;
else if(iCurrRoom == ROOM_DRAGON)
Fireball.special;
C :: How To Assign Value From A Function To Variable
May 26, 2013Im starting with C. Like I said in the title, how do I assign the value from a function to a variable? I mean I have this function:
Code:
int EnteroAleatorio(){
rand();
return rand();
}
and I would like to assign the value of EnteroAleatorio to a variable in my main function, but when I try to do it and compile, I got the next error: non-lvalue in assignment
C++ :: Setting A Function To A Variable?
Oct 29, 2014I need to set a function to a variable of some kind. Then later in the program it needs to run the function that is set to the variable. The variable doesn't need to change after it is set to a function, it just needs to be able to be set to a function. So maybe I don't need a variable? What do I do? :3 Is this even possible? :o
Example:
if (PosRampYes == 0)
{
SomeVariableOrSomething = FirstFunction();
}
else
{
SomeVariableOrSomething = SecondFunction();
}
//later:
SomeVariableOrSomething; //so if PosRampYes is set to 0 then this line would run FirstFunction()

C++ :: Function Argument - Variable Is Being Used Without Initialized

C++ :: Possible To Change Value Of Variable In Main Using A Function?
Jan 30, 2014I'm currently writing a poker game and am trying my best to avoid using global variables. I have a few variables in int main() which i was hoping to use to store the value of each players hand. I then created a function which calculates the value of the hand but cannot get this value back into the main function.
For example:
Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void getValue(int value) {
value = 4;
[Code] ....
Is there any way i can get the value of value using this function? If not what can I do?
C :: Passing Variable From Outside Function To Main?
Nov 8, 2013This code is for a program that allows you to play a guessing game or arithmetic game and shows your total score from both as you go along. The program works fine the only problem I'm having is with the score. Is there a way to call the score value from the outside function into main?
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
//prototype functions
void menu();
[Code] .....
So trying to pass the value of score from the outer function int guessGame() into the score print statement in choice 3 of the main function? Oh and the "17 -turn_count" was just part of the requirements of the assignment.
C :: Function That Allows To Allocate Memory To Variable
Nov 8, 2013I am trying to make a function that allows me to allocate memory to a "mem" variable and setting each of its chunk's status to FREE. FREE is defined as 0. Below is my code of the function.
Code:
int allocate(mem *mm, int num_chunks, int chunk_size) {
int i;
mem *temp;
if((mm = (mem *) malloc((num_chunks + 1) * chunk_size)) == NULL){
perror("Failed to Malloc
[code]...
mem; If my function works the way it should, it should print out five 0 because that is how I set them in the function, but this is not the case. I've looked at my function for 2 hours, but I could not figure out any logical error. Now, I think my problem lies with my limited knowledge of pointer arithmetic. On the other hand, when I insert 1000 as the second argument into my function, it gives seg faults, which is not the case for smaller values like 5, 10, 15, etc.
C :: Variable Function Argument Types
Jun 12, 2013I was wondering if one could write a function that could accept one or the other variable type.
Ex: I have 2 arrays, int** and double**, and a function
Code: void PGMWrite(double** Matrix, int Matrix_dimension){.....}
Is there any way to change the function to
Code: void PGMWrite(int** Matrix || double** Matrix, int Matrix_dimension){.....}
And then have some sort of type identifier in the function that picks the correct section via an if loop? If so how, and how would I identify in the function if the input it type double or int?
C++ :: Static Variable In Member Function
Aug 27, 2014I need to keep a static variable in a member function of a class that I have many objects of. I've had some trouble with it, and when I read up I found that such variables are static across all instances. Is there any way around this?

C++ :: Member Variable Aliasing A Function?
Dec 26, 2014So, one can do stuff like this using #defines:
#include <iostream>
#include <array>
#define x arr[0]
#define y arr[1]
#define z arr[2]
class Point {
[code]....
... that is, to be able to reference the same data by "member variables" as by referencing a stl container. But defines are the devil's work - adding in a "#define x arr[0]" is a dangerous statement. I'd really like some nice clean C++ method (C++11 or C++14 are just fine) to do this without defines, but so far I'm drawing a blank. If arr wasn't an STL container, if we just wanted a pointer-based array, I could do it this way:
class Point
{
...
float x __attribute__ ((aligned (sizeof(float))));
float y __attribute__ ((aligned (sizeof(float))));
float z __attribute__ ((aligned (sizeof(float))));
float*const arr = &x;
};
... but you obviously can't do that if arr is an STL container.
The best I've come up with is to make x, y, and z function pointers, but then you can't call them like p.x, you have to call them like *p.x(), it's not very clean and I'd expect some added overhead. One could go even uglier and make x, y, and z be instances of some custom class with overridden operators that reference arr[], but that seems like it'd be just getting ridiculous in terms of overhead (both coding and performance)
C++ :: How To Pass Variable To A Function In Constructor
Jun 11, 2014In a project I am working on, I have to initialize a window and pass it as a parameter to another constructor, but before the window is initialized, it is passed as a parameter thus causing an error. Here is some code :
Game::Game()
: mWindow(sf::VideoMode(640, 480), "SFML Application", sf::Style::Close)
, mWorld(mWindow) //<---- right here is where the mWindow variable needs to be passed
{
//...
}
Is there a way to make this work???

C++ :: Holding Function In Variable And Changing It Dynamically
Jun 30, 2014I 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
struct REPLY {
string *sReply;
function<int()> special = [](){return 0;};
REPLY()
[Code] .....
And then change it back to blank function returning 0 after calling it
(reply.special)();
reply.special = [](){return 0;};
This works fine (there is no reason why it should not, right? Now, if I want to have another function, let's say
void test2(string str) {
MessageBox(NULL, str.c_str(), NULL, NULL);
}
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.
C++ :: Function That Returns Max Of A Variable Number Of Scalars
Oct 23, 2014I need to create a function that takes as an input a variable number of scalars and returns the biggest one. Just like std::max() does for 2 elements, but I need it for an undefined number of elements, can be 2, or 5, or 10 etc.. How to approach this?
What I need it for: I'm working with a bunch of vectors, maps, etc. and I need to find out which has the most elements. So I was thinking that I should end up with something like
int biggest = max(vector1.size(), vector2.size(), map1.size(), ...);

C/C++ :: Necessity Of Global Variable For Recursive Function
Nov 30, 2014If I define the variable 'total', everything works well without any problem. But if I define it inside the function 'sum', I get irrelevant results, because each time the function gets executed, the variable total gets defined again, losing its value already assigned to it.
Do I have to use a global variable? Is there any way that I can do with without using a global variable?
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int total;
int sum(int a, int B)/>{

//printf("The total is %d, a is %d, and b is %d", total, a ,B)/>;
