Any way to create a variable using a variable in the name? So E.g. if you wanted to create an int named nr(x), and x was 1, you would get an int variable named nr1? How would you do this?
View 10 RepliesI have defined a class in a header file; just the class, no templates involved. I have a program where I'm reading in data in string format. Each string consists of a word, a delimiter, and a variable name. Example:
cajun/mustard
I want to take that string and make it the variable name of that class type. It would be implemented along the lines of:
Code:
string str;
//read/process string here, get:
str = "mustard";
createName(str);
//pass string to creator function When the function is called, I should get the variable:
Class mustard;
Thing is, I'm not supposed to know beforehand what the variable names are, only that I create them as they are read in. It could be mustard, it could be Maynard_James_Keenan, it could even be bazinga.
My problem is, what do I do for createName()? I've looked into the concepts of pairing, Factory implementation, and maps, but I don't think they answer my question.
(P.S. if I run into the same variable name being read in twice, what steps can I take to make sure that a duplicate variable isn't created? Do I need to add in code, or does the compiler know to watch for multiple variables of the same name?)
How do you prompt the user to enter the number of elements for the array and use that information to creatr a variable length array? And then how do you prompt the user to enter in a number for each element of the array and scan in the appropriate numbers? the numbers are double precision floating point.
for example,
Enter the numbe of elements in the array: 3
Enter element 0: 3
Enter element 1: -1
Enter element 2: 4
I know it starts with
int main() {
double N;
int a[size];
printf("Enter the number of elements in the array:" );
scanf("%f", &size);
//I'm pretty sure this is wrong
I'm attempting to split a large binary file into smaller manageable files for analysis. I've written most of the software but I'm stuck in a couple of places.
1. The binary file is split by looking at a couple of bytes to determine when to create a new file or continue appending to the current new file. The question is when I need to create a new file, how can I dynamically sign it a name? My intention is to rename each subfile by: "original_name" + new section id + ".log".
2. The start of each section is determined by a specific pattern (6 bytes of FF's). I'm running into an issue where the pattern check is checking for 5 bytes instead of 6 because the for..loop doesn't increment for one instance.
I've attached the code I have so far.
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;
int append_to_file(FILE *f,long sec_start, long sec_end)

I am making two classes using the juce library [URL] ....
this is a problem that has now come up after solving an earlier problem i posted but its a completely seperate issue.
i have a class for loading a file when i button is clicked that seems to work. Here is the function in my LoadButton cpp:
void LoadButton::buttonClicked(Button* button)
{
FileChooser pedoFileChooser ("Choose an Audio File", File::nonexistent, String::empty, true);
if (pedoFileChooser.browseForFileToOpen())
{
File pedoFile (pedoFileChooser.getResult());
}
}
I want to be able to then use the file stored in pedoFile in the cpp of another class called PlayButton. I tried doing this with a pointer? not sure if that's correct way of doing it (i know very little about C++ or programming) by changing the function to this. I'm getting the error invalid initialisation of non-const reference of type 'juce::File*&' from a temporary of type 'juce::File'
void LoadButton::buttonClicked(Button* button)
{
FileChooser pedoFileChooser ("Choose an Audio File", File::nonexistent, String::empty, true);
if (pedoFileChooser.browseForFileToOpen())
{
File* &pedoFile = (pedoFileChooser.getResult());
}
}
In the following code:
#include <iostream> // For stream I/O
using namespace std;
int function(int a) {
return a;
}
int main() {
function(int b);
}
Why is creating a variable inside the function argument list not allowed. Any reason other then for the language syntax or just for the language syntax?
I am doing a piece of gui code on some embedded system.
I'm trying to find a way of eliminating the local variable kEvent:
Code:
EVENT kEvent;
....
Code:
kEvent = EVENT_UPSTREAM;
xStatus = xQueueSendToBack(getEventProcessorQueue(),&kEvent, 0 );
....
I tried this, it doesn't work:
Code:
xStatus = xQueueSendToBack(getEventProcessorQueue(),(EVENT *)EVENT_UPSTREAM, 0 );
Shouldn't this work?
I receive messages over a bus. Suppose there is a function to read the messages storing them into a struct defined as follows:
typedef struct
{
ULONG timestamp;
BYTE ID;
BYTE data_length;
BYTE data[8];
} MSG_FRAME;
Depending on the message ID different messages represent different values for one project.For example msg with ID 10 can include in the 8 bytes something like:
width: 6 bits
height: 6 bits
actpos: 12 bits
maxpos: 12 bits
minpos: 12 bits
range: 16 bits
total: 64 bits = 8 bytes
Printing the message is no big deal. But here comes the tricky part. I want to print out the specific information hidden in the 8 bytes. I can define the structures for every msg ID and compile the program with this "special" header file, but I want to do it during runtime of the program, loading the information regarding the msgs, because i can have different projects where the information for different msg IDs can differ.
I've a non-C file, where basically all the information is written. Lets stay frame named
GetStatus{
bit 0 - 7 width
bit 8 - 15 height
.
.
}
etc.
How to read it on runtime and decode the messages? On runtime I'm not able to create variables and structures anymore!
I'm expected to get a starting minimum input, and also an ending maximum output (for example: 21, and 25). From here, i have to give output using all the numbers (in a row) between the min and max numbers.
(for the same example:
21
22
23
24
25)
I assumed I would want to create an array using a variable, but i'm not sure of that either.
Define a constant PI that has a value of 3.14159
- Create a double variable, Radius with an initial value of 10
- Create two double variables. Circum and Area, without initialization
- Using the following formulas, compute circumference and area of the circle:
circumference = pi * r * 2 (here, r means radius)
area = pi * r * r
- Display the result using three variables (numbers must come from variables)
- Expected output: (Don’t forget to display the period at the end of the first line)
Circle with radius of 10.
Circumference = 62.8318 Area = 314.159
I've got 2 classes, Store and Transaction and I would like to create a priority queue of objects Transaction as a variable of Store class.
My store.h
#ifndef __STORE_H_INCLUDED__
#define __STORE_H_INCLUDED__
#include <queue>
using namespace std;
#include "Transaction.h"
struct TransactionCompare;

The error im getting with this set up is
error C2664: 'bool TransactionCompare::operator ()(const Transaction &,const Transaction &)

I would like to convert a float or double variable into unsigned char variable and back.
float number_float = 23.453f;
unsigned char* number_char = (unsigned char*)malloc(sizeof(float));
number_char = reinterpret_cast<unsigned char*> (&number_float);
float* number_float_0 = reinterpret_cast<float*>(&number_char);
I am not getting the same value back.. why?
I am having trouble compiling my interface. I am trying to store a reference variable as a member variable of the interface object. Compiler says that the variable has not be initiated correctly.
LCD inherits from VisualInterface which is expecting a DisplayDriver object to be passed in (DisplayDriver is another interface, but thats not important).
I pass the displayDriver object in when LCD is instantiated in maininterfaces.zip
I was pasing it before as a pointer but was told that this could cause me problems with memory leaks and a reference was better, but now I cant seem to get it to compile.
This problem is best explained by looking at its output below. I stored 15 different values but when retrieved some are wrong.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class A {
public:
int ** pointer;
[Code] ....
I need to store and retrieve the 15 different values correctly. How to solve this? The main thing is, I need to store the pointer in class A objects.
I have to write a loop assigning a variable x to all positions of a string variable and I'm stuck. I don't have extensive experience with arrays and I'm also a bit confused about C-String. The problem is below.
"Given the following declaration and initialization of the string variable, write a loop to assign 'X' to all positions of this string variable, keeping the length the same.
char our_string[15] = "Hi there!";
(Please note this is a 'C-string', not C++ standard string.)"
I need to transform a local variable into a global variable so I can use it in one of my functions. I thought about passing the value as a parameter to this function but I can do this since the function is called inside the while loop and this variable counts how many times the while loop does (so the final value is outside the loop). Example to visualize better:
Code:
while(condition) {
function(parameter1, parameter2);
count = count + 1;
}
printf("%d
", count);
So, I need to transform the final value of "count" into a global variable. Can I do this?
I 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;
I've been experimenting with pointers and am getting the below error.
'error: cannot convert 'int**' to 'int*' in assignment'
I thought it was ok to assign a variable address to another variable. Line 18 is where I get the error.
I am trying to show the progression of memory as I increment it as I have done on line 17 and again, I don't know why I don't see a progression through memory locations when output to the console on line 20.

my goal:
have 1 program handle the UI
have that program store variables to a DLL
have the 2nd program grab the stored variables to reform some number crunching, without interfering with the UI program, and once done, have it drop the answers back into that DLL, so that the UI can grab it when it's ready.
I have made the 2 programs, + dll
What I've Achieved:
the first program accesses the dll, and loads up a variable (and stays connected to the dll, so that the Dll instance doesn't reset)
I've gotten the DLL to output the variable to make sure it's received it, and stored it to it's own global variable.
the second program connects to the dll successfully, but when it tries to retrieve the data, it returns 0's (NULL's)
My research:from what I've read, so long the dll is connected to a program, all additional programs will attach to the same instance.
how do I make the global variable in the dll be accessible to both programs? (without resorting to saving it to the HDD Idealy)
//I dont understand this why does "<< "

I am attaching a sample project. Basically what this project does is that I initialize a variable map<CString, bool*> m_mapTest in CView::OnInitialUpdate and then pass the variable to CDocument class. On the other hand, within the function OnSaveDocument defined in CDocument I check m_mapTest. To my surprise, the CString part of m_mapTest is correct but the bool* part of m_mapTest is wrong(I pass an array of bool in CView::OnInitialUpdate).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm fairly new to C++ and have begun working with pointers. I wish to create am array called sigmaf_point that reads data from a text file. I have managed to get that working, but when it comes to using this pointer I come across some problems. The array is created as such:
Code:
double sigma [5];
double *sigmaf_point = sigma;
void read(double *&sigmaf_point)
string s;
ifstream Dfile;
std::stringstream out;

I then create a coordinate system inside the main file, as the program I am writing is about modelling the movement of atoms, which requires you to know the coordinates:
Code:
int main();
double **coords_fluid = new double*[5000];
for (int i = 0; i < n_atoms_methane; i++) {
coords_fluid[i] = new double[4];
}
Now, the problem arises when I want to calculate a new variable as so:
Code:
for (int i = 0; i <= n_atoms-1; i++) {
sf1=sigmaf_point(coords_fluid[i][3]);
}
I get the error C2064: term does not evaluate to a function taking 1 arguments, and a red line under sigmaf_point that says it must be pointer to function type. I am a bit confused about this.

Can local variable be passed as the parameter for a new created thread procedure? Here is the example code:
Code:
void CDLG::some_function()
{
CString strFileName="abc.doc";
//local variable, can it be valid for being passed into the following new thread???
//Can strFileName still be accessed from within the stack of thread procedure?
::AfxBeginThread(ProcessContentThread,(LPVOID)&strFileName);
}
[Code]...
There is another method using variable on the heap,
Code:
void CDLG::some_function()
{
CString strFileName="abc.doc";
CString* pstrFN=new CString(strFileName);
::AfxBeginThread(ProcessContentThread,(LPVOID)pstrFN);
}
[Code]...
I test these code, both methods work as expected, but I doubt whether the first method is a good way. OR if only the second method is the correct way to pass a parameter to a thread.
