[Solved] Why does a C++ pointer to char act as a character string despite the lack of a null terminator?

[ad_1] This operator+ is used here (a pointer to single char that is not null-terminated is not really suitable). Yes, most definitely undefined behavior. lhs – string, character, or pointer to the first character in a null-terminated array Just make std::string the common type to fix it: ((d == ‘\0’) ? std::string(“null character”) : std::string(1, … Read more

[Solved] Pop() function for stack in C

[ad_1] It would help to see how you push items onto the stack. If you’re really calling pop without a push first, well, then it’s not supposed to do anything, is it? This bit makes me nervous: Node *aux,*prev; prev = *stack; aux = prev->next; if(aux == NULL) { free(prev); return; } You set prev … Read more

[Solved] C++ Pointers or References [closed]

[ad_1] I don’t really understand exactly what you are asking, but it sounds like you want to have a way to get the album from a PlaylistTrack. class PlaylistTrack : public Track { public: PlaylistTrack(Album * owner){ m_owner = owner; } Album* getAlbum(){return m_owner;} private: Album* m_owner; } int main() { Album albumA; PlaylistTrack newTrack(&albumA); … Read more

[Solved] Write to dynamic array

[ad_1] I eventually figured it out. As I kept saying, the problem was in how I was populating the array. Here’s an entire section of code using a for loop which correctly populates my pointer array: #include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <string> #include <new> using namespace std; int main() { int * arraySize; arraySize = … Read more

[Solved] How can I access an array in C

[ad_1] You have a few errors, can you try this: void load(char *name, float *share, float *buyprice, float *currprice) { printf(“Enter stock name”); gets(name); printf(“Enter share, buyprice, currprice”); scanf(“%f %f %f”, share, buyprice, currprice); // changes: removed &* } void calc(float share, float buyprice, float currprice, float *buytotal, float *currtotal, float *profit) { *buytotal = … Read more

[Solved] In char x[10]=”hello” , why cout

[ad_1] It prints “Hello” because operator << has an overload for const char* (which is what you’re passing if you pass x) that prints out a single char and moves to the next char until a NUL-character is found. “Hello” has a compiled-added NUL-character at the end, so your string is actually “Hello\0”. To get … Read more

[Solved] Printing pointer to pointer [closed]

[ad_1] You declared a as an array of int**, so *a is not a pointer to int but a pointer to pointer to int. Incrementing a pointer adds the size of the data type it points to, so ++*a advances the value at at a[0] by the size of a pointer. What you actually stored … Read more

[Solved] string literal pointer issue passing to nested functions

[ad_1] In C, string operations cannot have a convenient interface, because of memory management. If a function receives a string, and converts it to another string, you should decide how to declare its interface. The simplest interface is in-place (strtok uses it); you can use it only if the output is somehow smaller than input: … Read more
