C++ :: Writing A Program That Finds The Probability Of Moves?
Sep 13, 2013
I'm writing a program that finds the probability of moves a Knight can make on a chess board. The program asks the user to enter the row and the column and the program is supposed to output how many possible moves the Knight can make, but the output is wrong. Example(if I enter row 1 and column 1 the output is 8 and it should be 2) I know the problem is with my if statements.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int chess(int a, int b) {
int x =a;
int y = b;
int sum=0;

My tasks was to write a program which finds difference between two arrays (elements which are in first array but not in second and vice-versa). Program works, but something wrong is with the memory allocation for array.
My code is:
main.c Code: #include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "header.h"

Write a C program that takes multiple integers from the user and finds the minimum value. The numbers entered by the user are positive integers. When the user is done entering all the numbers, the user enters the sentinel value of -1.
This is a sample output. Notice how the program prints a counter (1, 2, 3, ) for user keep track of how many numbers were entered so far. Include this feature in your program.
I have tried different ways to get the result from while loops, do while, and if-else statements. We have not done any max/min problem in class and the book was kind of vague. We have not learned arrays yet in class and I can't figure a way to compare the integers the user inputs as it is an infinite(from what I am reading) amount aloud. The problem I am seeing is the loop works and stops with the sentinel value but the INT_MIN is using the sentinel value. I also have not addressed the input of negative numbers yet with the first program I wrote, maybe one of my problems.
Code:
/*File:HW2Q3.c,
A C program that takes multiple integers from the user and finds the minimum value. The numbers entered by the user are positive integers. When the user is done entering all the numbers, the user enters the sentinel value of -1.*/
/*header files*/
#include<stdio.h>
#include<limits.h>
/*****start program*****/
int main() {
[Code] ....
I have also tried this way as well, min value still comes back as -1 the sentinel value, and the else statement is being ignored. I am sure it is something silly but I am lost and confused at this point.
Code:
/*File:HW2Q3.c,
A C program that takes multiple integers from the user and finds the minimum value. The numbers entered by the user are positive integers. When the user is done entering all the numbers, the user enters the sentinel value of -1.*/
/*header files*/
#include<stdio.h>
#include<limits.h>

I am currently making pong using visual C++ with the SDL libary. I find that the ball moves too fast for the players and needs to slow down. The code for the movement is in a while loop and vairies speeds 1 - 2 (X and Y).
CODE:
//ball movement{
ballX += speedX;
ballY += speedY;
//}
ballX and ballY is the position of the ball.
speedX and speedY are the speeds. these change from 1 - 2
How to make the ball move less than one pixel or something along those lines.

Ok so I have a function call that moves an Entity from one vector to another, and if one doesn't exist then it creates one and moves it:
std::vector<std::unique_ptr<Entity>> ActiveEntities;
std::vector<std::unique_ptr<Entity>> EntityPool;
// Creates a generic entity in the entity pool
void EntityManager::CreateEntity() {
[Code] .....
In this case it checks the entity pool for an entity, if one exists it moves it to the active entities and then returns the unique id, if one doesn't exist it creates one then calls itself to run the check again to verify and move the new entity.
My question is, is this a valid form of recursion since it only incurs a single loop of recursion, or should I reform the entire system to work differently? If so, how do you set this up in a way that does not cause recursion?

I have a question concerning the CDialogBar (:CControlBar).
I have a MDI application with a dockable toolbox (CDialogBar).
The user is able/allowed to move the DialogBar and to dock it at the right or left side When I dock at the left side, the content of my mdi-application (so all other open windows) are moved right (so the dockable bar moves the windows).
If i dock at the right side, nothing changes.
How can I change the behaviour of the bar, that the windows inside the application keep the same position when I dock left ?
(Problem is, that my windows are aligned on the right side of the application). When I dock the bar on the left, the windows are getting moved in the not visible area.)

I just started learning C++ a week ago and have been stuck on a project for the past 2 days now. I am building a limited purpose calculator which finds the value of one of five operations. Visual studio doesn't underline any errors in my program but every time I try to run it I get an error message. I believe it has something to do with the if/else but Im not sure.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
int a;
int b;
int sum = a + b;

I'm currently finishing writing some small application. I want to be able to log important information about the program execution to a logfile, and I have several questions.
First of all - I'd prefer to make the part that logs information to a file separate from the code I've already written. So, what interface should I expose to the rest of the program? Is one function void log(const char*); enough?
Another thing that came to my mind; my program runs two threads, and I want to be able to write to the log file from both threads, so the question is: Should I make sure that the writing to the file is mutually exclusive?
And if so, whose responsibility is it to make the logging to the file thread-safe? The actual part that does the logging (void log(const char*) for that matter), or the parts of the program that calls log(const char*) ?
And lastly, and probably less importantly, where is it customary to save the logfile? (the user's home folder maybe?)

Ive been writing this code all day and these errors have been killing.
Instructions:
Car Class:
Write a class named Car that has the following:
year. An int that holds the cars model year.
make. A string object that holds the make of car.
speed. An int that holds the cars current speed.
In addition, the class should have the following member functions.
Constructor. The constructor should accept the car's year and make as arguments and assign these values to a object's year and make member variables. The constructor should initialize the speed member variable to 0.
Accessors. Appropriate accessor functions should be created to allow values to be retrieved from an object's year, make, and speed member variables.
accelerate. the accelerate function should add 5 to the speed member variable each time it is called.
brake. The brake function should subtract 5 from the speed member variable each time it is called.
Demonstrate the class in a program that creates a Car object, and then calls accelerate function five times. After each call to the accelerate function, get the current speed of the car and display it. The, call the brake function five times. After each call to the brake function, get the current speed of the car and display it.
Errors: error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'stringm'
error C2533: 'Car::{ctor}' : constructors not allowed a return type
error C2511: 'Car::Car(int)' : overloaded member function not found in 'Car'
see declaration of 'Car'
fatal error C1903: unable to recover from previous error(s); stopping compilation

I have been asked to write a program to grade several multiple-choice exams. The exam has less than 80 questions, each answered with a letter in the range of ‘a’ through ‘f’. The data are stored on several files such as exam1.dat where the first line is the key, consisting of a string of n characters (0<n < 80). The remaining lines on the file are exam answers, and consist of a student ID number, a space, and a string of n characters.
The program should have a while loop in the main routine to ask users input a data file name through keyboard. In this way, the program has a capability of repeatedly asking for a new data file in each while loop until users input a key word “exit”. Once “exit” is encountered, the while loop terminates and your program ends. A typical input exam data file (exam1.dat) looks like:
abcdefabcdefabcdefab
1234567 abcdefabcdefabcdefab
9876543 abddefbbbdefcbcdefac
5554446 abcdefabcdefabcdef
4445556 abcdefabcdefabcdefabcd
Apply strlen( ) or the length( ) of string to the first line of the above data file for determining the number of questions in the problem. If a student gives more answers than necessary, the extra answers will be automatically truncated. On the other hand, if a student provides less number of answers, the remaining unanswered questions are considered as being answered wrongly.
After users input an exam data file, your program should ask users to input another grade-curving file name (e.g., gradeCurving.dat). This second file contains the information to convert a percentile score to a curved grade in levels of ‘A’ through ‘E’. For instance, a grade-curving file takes the following format: a curved alphabetic grade, a space, a percentile grade served as marker.
A 90
B 80
C 70
D 60
E 50
The above information means that ‘A’ = 90 through 100; ‘B’=80 through 89; ‘C’=70 through 79; ‘D’ = 60 through 69; “E”=50 through 59; For the remaining grades, you can assign an ‘F’.
Furthermore, in each while loop in the main routine, your program should ask users to input an output file name such as score1.dat. The output file will store the scores for each student in a format: student ID number, a space, a percentile score, and a curved grade in ‘A’ though ‘E’. The program should also compute and display the following statistics for the graded answers: Average score, Maximum score, and Minimum score.
A typical output on a data file looks like:
1234567 90% A
9876543 85% B
5554446 95% A
4445556 75% C
5551112 80% B
Statistics:
Average Score: 85%
Minimum Score: 95%
Maximum Score: 75%
This Is what I have so far. It compiles fine and everything but when I input the files it says "There was an error opening the corresponding files. Check input name perhaps?" and it exits out ....
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <assert.h>
using namespace std;
int openfiles(ifstream& infile, ifstream& curvingfile, ofstream& outfile);
void Size(ofstream&,int,string);

I am required to write a program which, when given an nxn 2D array of char, and the specified coordinates of a specific point in that array, returns thelargest number of horizontal, vertical or diagonal contiguous (side-by-side) sequence of points of that same char value that intersects with the given point.
The way I took on this problem was to:
1) First find out the number of points with the same char value up, down, right, left, north-east, north-west, south-east, and south-west of the given point.
2)Add up+down+1(the one is for the point itself), north-west+south-east+1, etc...
3) Finally I compared the four values (updown, rightleft, NESW, NWSE) and returned the largest one.
Well, that's how the program is supposed to work in theory but as you can probably guess it doesn't work. In addition to telling me what I'm doing wrong, is there a simpler way to do what I am trying to accomplish?
Here's the code:
Code:
int findLongest(char **board, int n, int row, int col)
{
char current;
int rightleft, updown, NESW, NWSE;
int r, c, c1=0, c2=0, c3=0, c4=0, c5=0, c6=0, c7=0, c8=0, d;
int t1=1, t2=1, t3=1, t4=1, t5=1, t6=1, t7=1, t8=1;
current=board[row][col];
//check Above: col remains the same
for(r=row-1;r>=0||t1!=0;r--)
//with the condition r>=0 I made sure not to accidentally check values outside of the array

I have an assignment which requires me to do the following:
Required to write a function that finds an integer in an array and returns its corresponding index. The function must be called findNumber. It must have FOUR parameters:
- The first parameter is the array to be searched
- The second parameter is the integer to be found within the array
- The third parameter is the size of the array
- The fourth parameter is an integer that indicates whether the array is sorted. A value of 1 means the array is sorted; a value of zero means the array is not sorted.
Since a function can only return one value(To return the position of a required integer in an array in this instance) I have tried to make use of pointers to try and return a value stating whether the array is sorted or not.This is my code : (It compiles perfectly but it does not produce any outputs)
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#define SIZE 10
size_t findNumber(int *sort, const int array[],int key,size_t size);
int main(void){
int a[SIZE];
size_t x;

Create a program that finds all numbers in an array that show up exactly 5 times. I am trying to solve this issue by making a frequency distribution via two loops and two arrays, but I am having trouble getting my loop to not recount a number it has already counted.
For example, if you enter ten 1's into the "entered Numbers" array I want it to store a count of 10 in frequencyarray[1]. Instead it is storing
frequencyarray[0]10
frequencyarray[1]9
frequencyarray[2]8
etc...

i need the output to display the product of every whole number from 1-3 in a table format.
this is the code i have so far. i know some brackets are missing but i just pasted the meat of the code. when i run the program i keep getting the number 1 displayed in a straight line going on forever
int multiply1 = 1;
int multiply2 = 1;
while(num1<=3)
{ // num1*num2;
//num1 = 0;
while(num2<=3)
{ Console.WriteLine(multiply1*multiply2);
if(num1>=3)
{ Console.Write();

write a program that computes the factorial of a number and displays it. A factorial of a number (written N!) is defined as N * (N-1) * (N-2) * (N-3) ... *1 In other words, 5! = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120 and 3! = 3 * 2 * 1 + 6.
Example of output 15 is 1.30767e+012
Can't get it to display error when user enters a number lower than 2 or higher 60.
