Specific right-angled Triangles are not being recognized as right-angled in Cpp
I have to take the coordinates of the vertices of a triangle from the user and tell if it is a right-angled triangle or not. I'm using Pythagoras Theorem to Find out i.e. h * h = b * b + p * p But surprisingly this doesn't work for some specific right-angled triangles. Here is one such Triangle: Vertex A: (x, y) = (1, ...
The line double dist = sqrt((x-p.x)*(x-p.x) + (y-p.y)*(y-p.y)); in the Vertex::distance method gives you an approximation of a square root which is rarely going to coincide with an exact answer. This is because most real numbers can't be represented in floating point arithmetic. But in given code sample you can make d...

Do vector also initialise primitive types in c++?
I know that when working with vectors and when knowing the size of a vector beforehand (tho it might get extended), one should use myVector.reserve(# objects) instead of vector<object> myVector(# objects) since the latter does a lot of unnecessary copies as it actually initialises the objects. Does the same hold for pr...
Refer this: Which has the description: Constructs the container with count default-inserted instances of T. No copies are made. So yes, if you write vector<int> vec(10), it will default construct 10 integers with value 0.

Monte carlo integration for area under curve
I have managed to code a program that uses the monte-carlo method to estimate pi.

First, I must precise that Monte Carlo is by far not the best method to solve this problem.

C++ assigning to a object
Why the last variable c do not print anything. I know that is caused by destructors but i can't really find out why. I thought that destructors only works when is called or is the end of function, program. .....// class Int{ private: int a; public: Int(): a{0}{} Int(int s):a{s}{} Int(const Int& va) : a{va.a} ...
Your job in the destructor is to clean up any resources you've allocated or inherited ownership of as per the RAII rules of C++. It is not to delete yourself. That is not your job. Since you have no allocated resources, your job is pretty simple: ~Int(){} Nothing to it, literally. In fact you can skip having a destruc...

SFML Window not responding to inputs
I recently started working on SFML. I just created a window then later started to separating my main code. First i wrote a window class. Nothing special, just draws my window and prints mouse coordinates. #include "Window.hpp" #include <iostream> Window::Window() { SetWindow(800,600, "JUST SFML"); } void Window::...
In order to receive events (such as the mouse moving), you need to call pollEvents on the window. In your commented code, you were doing this through your Window::EventControl() method. Your new GameManager class isn't calling this, however, so you aren't receiving any events.

There are so many problems with this code, it just needs to be re-written from scratch.

SFINAE does not work for copy constructors

Unfortunately, a template constructor can't be a default, copy or move constructor. The signature of a copy constructor for MyStruct is as follows MyStruct (MyStruct const &); This function, in your second example, is implicitly deleted because you've written an explicit move constructor. Your template constructor, wi...

How to access the values of a map<string, vector<int>> in C++?

I think that with some little linear algebra your problem has an easy solution: indeed, if you store the numerical data related to your objects into a matrix A, then for each population vector p your desired result is simply p^T A (or equivalently, A^T p) where ^T denotes the transpose of a matrix or of a vector.

c++ segfault and pointers confusion (I have the feeling I'm missing something terribly obvious)

You declared a pointer to an integer, but not initialized or assigned it with any pointer (i.e. to memory address of an integer variable). int* ptr; // declaration The line above says, ptr is a pointer (that would point to memory address of an integer variable). In your case it just says it is a pointer, what it does ...

How to iterate over an unordered map's specific key's values?
I have an unordered map with a string and a vector of strings. I want to go to a specific key and iterate over all it's values. Ex. Go to key 400 and iterate over 1, 2, and 3. { 400 -> [1,2,3], 200 -> [], 13 -> [10,30] } std::unordered_map<std::string, std::vector<std::string>> mymap; myKey = 400; for(aut...
You don't need 2 loops to do this. Specifically, the outer loop that looks for the key is unnecessary. If you know that the key exists, you could simply do: for (auto const & item : mymap["400"]) // ... If you're not sure whether the key exists, you can write: if (auto it = mymap.find("400"); it != mymap.end()) ...

Separate compilation with abstract classes C++

Suppose you have an abstract class A in a header file and then you have class B in a cpp file to create an object from class A. So far we have: Class_A.h, Class_B.cpp Within the Class_B.cpp file, I have included the header Class_A.h. I wan...
Just need to organize your code. There's no hard and fast rules about how that needs to be done, but generally you define classes in header files (.h or .hpp) and implement the class in source files (.cpp). In this situation I would: Class_A.h class Class_A { public: virtual void myFunc() = 0; // Class_A is abstra...

STL Priority queue with custom comparator not working as expected
I'm trying to implement Priority queue with custom operator. The algorithm tries to find the minimum increments to be done so that no two adjacent elements in array have absolute difference > 1. For this, I get the maximum element "x" in the array and modify its neighbours to x-1, then repeat the same for other elemen...
You are modifying the item after it was put into the queue and still is part of that queue. This is not supported by the priority queue and yields unspecified results. C++ STL does not offer updatable priority queue. But, seeing your use case I suspect this is competitive algorithmic programming. There are decent alter...

This is because C++17 allowed a template type argument to be deduced from the type of a non-type argument.

std::vector<>.size() returns an unsigned long which, when combined with nums.size() - 2 gives an underflow and the result is some really big number which doesn't fit your code logic. Since the expression i < nums.size() - 2 will always evaluate to true because of the underflow, you will keep iterating through the vecto...

Note that your two code snippets are not equivalent; rather, they are asking the WriteProcessMemory function to write data to different locations.

Im trying to read json file with qt c++. After reading i will do some operations. I've read my json like it, but i want to print spesific datas, which include "float". After finding them, i will assign a value each of these. Thanks for any help { "A":[ { "GPS":[ { "GPS ID":[...
Actually, you seem to already know what you need to do to handle Json data, you just have to continue to unpack your nested structures until the leaf data. I'm not sure what was your issue, you just had to continue what you were doing but anyway, I have written an example that prints in the console the inner GPS data o...

What is the role of BOOL in the given code?
Here's a c++ code to sort the data of various types using template function. Can someone elaborate what does BOOL do here? I've read about bool data type. It basically assumes only two values TRUE and FAlSE. But I've no idea, what is the role of BOOL here ? using namespace std; #include <iostream> tem...
The bool in the example is there to check wether any exchanges happened in that iteration of the for-loop. If no exchanges happened == the array is sorted, the sorting algorithm is done. Giving this function a already sorted array will show the purpose of the boolean. In the first iteration through the whole array, no ...

Clang failed to compile with unused template
There is some code in our codebase that failed to compile with clang10.

See temp#res.general-6.1 The program is ill-formed, no diagnostic required, if: (6.1) no valid specialization can be generated for a template or a substatement of a constexpr if statement within a template and the template is not instantiated, or void setAllocator(A* a) { allocator = *a; } is wrong for any T, so pr...

Redefinition of same variable in body after defining in for loop

It's just variable shadowing. Perfectly allowed, but can be confusing. There are cases where you want to shadow, and there's others where you've done it inadvertently. In this case there's no reason confusion, excepting the part of using a float as an indexed array iterator, which is usually a bad plan.

You can pass a functor as comparator to the function: template <typename Comparator> void my_sort(int a[], record r[],int n, Comparator comp) { /*...*/ if (comp(r[a[j], r[a[j+1]]) // instead of if(r[a[j]].name>r[a[j+1]].name) /*...*/ } Then you can call it with custom predicates, eg to compare name mem...

How to move a value out of a std:optional without calling the destructor?

How to move a value out of a std:optional without calling the destructor? Like you did in the example. The destructor is not called by the move.

I can think of a few approaches to your problem. Different types of components are not different C++ types. In this case, your components are just bundles of properties.

This answer focuses on compilation error you seem to be having. Bad or good practice is left for others to chime in.

As you did not state what model of STM32F4 you use, this code was tested using STM32F446RET uC. Other STM32F4 have identical timers. Setting the timer: __HAL_RCC_...

C++ Call child function from parent
I am trying to call an overriden function from the parent, and found out that it just crashes. This is quite hard to describe, so here the minimal reproducible code: #include <iostream> class A { public: A() { init1(); } void init1() { printf("1"); init2(); prin...
You can't call a derived class's overriden methods from within a base class constructor (or destructor). The derived class portion of the object doesn't exist yet. So, to answer your questions: yes A::A() is trying to call A::init2(), not B::init2(), and thus crashes from calling a pure virtual method. There are way...

In C++, finding repeated peak values in array and calculating pulse
First of all I apologise in advance, I'm very new to programming and any help at all is greatly appreciated. I am using mbed to program a microcontroller: my goal is to check an array for peak values: void peakvals(int array[],const int count);{ //count = size array = 10, meant to find peak vals in array int pe...
As I suggest in the comments, a simple function could looks like this: int count_peaks(const int array[], const int arrsize) { int peakcount=0; // NOTE: C++ index start at 0, so (arrsize-1) is the last element you can access in the array. for (int i= 1; i < arrsize - 2; ++i...

C++ call class constructor from another class
I currently have a problem when I want to declare a class in another class. The following is my code. When I call the class Shape in the main function, there is no error. It turns out to be problematic if I want to define a Shape (myshape1) in Rectangle, it pops up the error: class_constructor_derived.C:22:18: error: ‘...
The problem is that this code: Shape myshape1(a,b); //something wrong here ...looks to the compiler like a function declaration. Except that when it looks up the meaning of a and b, it find that neither one is a type, which is what it would need to be for the function declaration to be valid. The easy fix (assuming a ...

Gtk::StatusIcon system tray alignment issues
I'm creating a Gtk::StatusIcon object from a PNG file but the system tray icon displays in the center of the system tray. How can I get this system tray icon alignment over to the right side by default. I've looked at the GTK::StatusIcon API but did not see anything. Glib::RefPtr<Gtk::StatusIcon> m_status_icon; m_statu...
From the official documentation, this does not seem possible in Gtkmm, or GTK+ (nothing in the API gives you such control). Also, note that Gtk::StatusIcon is deprecated in favor of plateform specific APIs.

static_assert usage in C++ vs C
This is a part of a huge project, so I post an excerpt from a cc file (only one static_assert is needed in the real code, I just experimented with it): namespace large { static_assert(sizeof(void *) == 4, "64-bit code generation is not supported."); // A namespace fake_n { static_assert(sizeof(void *) == 4, "64-bi...
Something in one of your headers appears to be doing #define static_assert _Static_assert, which fails in C++ because _Static_assert is a (reserved) identifier with no special meaning; in particular it doesn't perform a static assertion. I get the same errors in an example by manually adding #define static_assert _St...

Implementing custom iterator in struct for custom linked list type
I have a linked list using std::list, that is of custom type "node" (std::list<node>) which is implemented through struct node { std::string pname; int time; }; I am wondering how I can create an iterator so that I can loop through my linked list to be able to print out the contents of 'pname' and 'time', or i...

I figured out the solution for the issue. First of all, I do not need to install a separate gsl library to use with R. So, I removed the gsl library I installed earlier into C:\R_soft\R\local323. Then I opened the msys2 shell in rtools and ran pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gsl. This installs gsl library to mingw64 folder...

Switch statement only executes last case?
I'm trying to execute a switch statement, but it will only execute the last case, excluding the default.

But if I remove case 3, it executes cas...
You need to break properly. switch (n) { case 1: /* code here */ break; case 2: /* code here */ break; case 3: /* code here */ break; default: /* code here */ break; } If you forget a break statement, it will fall through to the next case.

I am struggling a bit with run time analysis and wanted to see if got those right.

Time complexity of f1 is correct. But in f2, for (i = 0; i < n; i++) ---> time complexity = n for (j = 1; j <= arr[i]; j++) ---> time complexity = n c++; the second for loop runs exactly for a[i] number of times for each i, but you have initialised arr[i] = 7; in previous for loop. for (i = 0; i < ...

c++ change an object value in another class
I'd like to change the object brain in class Robot, not in main function.

You cannot do inline member initialization in a procedural way like you're attempting. You must either define a constructor for RobotBrain that initializes the value, or a constructor for Robot that performs the non-encapsulated approach you're doing. Option A: class RobotBrain { public: int brainData = 10; Robo...

Thank you all guys. I finally solve this problem. It occurred when debug mode has been changed x86 to x64 in VS. but I still dont know why these exceptions occurred when debug mode is x64, I just guess that's maybe occurred when last debugging is proceeded on x86 mode at the same project.

sin(PI/2) ... it gives me 0.9999997 rather than 1.0000000 For values outside [-pi/4...+pi/4] the Taylor's sin/cos series converges slowly and suffers from cancelations of terms and overflow of int factorial(int n)**.

You need to transfer (move) a unique_ptr into the vector slot instead of pushing a raw pointer. Instead of this: COR *temp = new COR{tmp1, tmp2}; v.push_back(temp); This: std::unique_ptr<COR> uptr = unique_ptr<COR>(new COR{ tmp1, tmp2 }); v.push_back(std::move(uptr)); Or better yet, take advantage of ...

Lambdas are just syntactic sugar for objects with an overloaded operator().

Is it good practice to initialize a member variable of a class in the header file?
Let's say I have a pointer and I want it to be initialized to nullptr. Which option would be better, to create a constructor that sets that member variable to nullptr or just initialize it in the declaration on the header file to nullptr. Is there any differences at all? Is the latter considered bad practice? Thanks in...
Initializing a member in the class body is completely equivalent to doing it in the member initializer list in the construcor. (But if you provide initializers in both places, member-init-list overrides initializers in class body.) Initializing in the class body whenever possible is a good practice, because it's less e...

erase takes an iterator. You have that iterator, it's called a. But you then convert the iterator a into an offset relative to begin(). erase does not have an overload which takes an offset. The Standard Library has alternatives if the vectors would be sorted, but we don't see the calling code so we can't assume that.
