[Dev-C++] C++

[I.Ali <ial...@ya...>]

Hi All,

I am new to programming and decided that I would
either learn Java or C++, I went with C++ as this is
in greater demand and is a more powerful and popoular
langauge than Java, (and pays more too!).

Have I done the right thing in beginning to learn C++?
Also can anyone recommend the best way to learn C++?

Thanks all!

Ali

Re: [Dev-C++] adding nodes to the end of linked list

[Jason H. <jas...@bt...>]

I assume that add_back() adds a node to the end of the list. Yes?

The following function (untested) should do the trick, but first here's the
sequence of events you need to go through to do it. It's best to write out
in plain english what you want to happen before writing any code. It helps
prevent errors and makes you sure of what you are doing.

1. Create new node.
2. Make new node an end node (by making next NULL in your case)
3. Put data into new node.
4. Get the list (in your case the list pointer to the first node in the
list)
5. If no list exists then make new node the first one and goto 8 (exit).
    (in other words make sure list isn't NULL)
6. Find the end of the list (you didn't do that in your version)
7. Link new node onto end of list.
8. Return new node (optional, but nice), or NULL for failure.

Most of that is pretty basic, except for number 6, which needs a little more
detail.

1. Get start node in the list and make it the current one.
2. If there is no next node in current, goto 5.
3. Get the next node and make it currant.
4. Goto 2.
5. The current node is the end node.

These two numberd lists are known as Algorithms (you probably already know
this), which is a description of a sequence of events. From these you can
draw a couple of flowcharts showing the sequence of events graphically. You
can then take them and convert them to some form of pseudo code, where you
add known structures to the code i.e.  if-then-else, for-next, while-do, and
repeat-until (do-while in C/C++) loops, and such. I'll skip all that. Also
note that when you get a case of expanding out a statement in one algorithm
into another algorithm, then that new algorithm is a candidate for being
made into a function of it's own. I'm sorry if this is all old stuff to you,
but I felt you needed to understand algorithms and linked-lists better. What
you are doing shows that you aren't quite certain of what is supposed to
take place.

The code I'd make from that is as follows:

node* add_back(node *&list, int info)
// note that I'm returning a pointer
{
    node *end = new node;
    /* if new fails it should throw an exception and exit the program
        but that depends upon how up to date the compiler is
        older compilers will make the pointer NULL */
    if(end == NULL)
        return NULL; // failure

    // Initialise end
    end->next = NULL;
    end->data = info;

    node *skip = list; // get start point

    if(skip != NULL)
    {
        // find current end of list
        while(skip->next != NULL)
            skip = skip->next; // number 6

        skip->next = end; // add new end node
    }
    else
    {
        // no nodes so make list the new node
        list = end;
    }
    // All done, just return end.
    return end;
}

I hope that helps. The main thing you forgot was that you needed to find the
end of the list. I recomend that you learn more about how a linked list
works. The usual examples involve diagrams with boxes and arrows.

Jason.

PS: Yet again I've written an essay when I didn't need to. I hope all you
people apreciate how much free time I have on my hands at the moment :-D

Yeah, now you said it struck strange to me too. Then i discovered that

There is also a trial version of the C++ Builder 5 IDE at:
http://www.borland.com/bcppbuilder/trial5/trialdownload.html

See the light! :)

Also there is a free download of the C++ Builder 5 compiler only, which
is somewhat boring to setup manually. Prefer the trial download.

RE: [Dev-C++] Math error

[Brian C. B. <bcb...@ya...>]

Hi,
  The sin(x) function in math.h expects a number in Radian Measurement as a
parameter. I believe you are giving sin(x) a number in Degree Measurement
instead. So you need to convert your number from Degree Measurement to
Radian Measurement before passing it to sin(x).
  Radian Measurement is the idea of measuring in PI. There are 360 Degrees
in a circle, but only 2 * PI (or 6.28) radians in a circle. So 1 radian =
180/PI. To convert from Radian Measurement to Degree Measurement, multiply
the number in Radian Measurement by 180/PI. To convert from Degree
Measurement to Radian Measurement, multiply the number in Degree Measurement
by PI/180.
  Therefore, 1 in Degree Measurement is really 1 * PI/180 in Radian
Measurement. So try:
//--Start
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#define PI 3.1415926535897932384626433832795

void main()
{
 float f=1.0f;
 printf("The sine for %f is %f",f,sin(f * PI / 180.0));
}
//--End

For more info, see http://www.cplusplus.com/ref/cmath/sin.html. Or see a
good trig tutorial that includes examples of how the Radian and Degree
measurements work. I Hope this did not thoroughly confuse you and you can
some use of this.

Sincerely,
Brian Becker

hi, this is part of my code and i have to use struct... but my add_back

understand what's wrong.
thanks for helping

struct node

RE: [Dev-C++] how do you install Borland free compiler?

[Ioannis V. <no...@ya...>]

In ANSI C++ cout is defined in the std namespace, which you can declare
there by using namespace std; declaration and use cout alone. But even
those for loops will not compile in VC++ 6. The compiler is *broken*. It
doesn't support almost at all templates, not the proper ANSI C++ header
files, e.t.c..
=20
 The code that i sent you is ANSI C++, is not using any Borland C++
specific extensions.

But why would I bother with std::cout ? Why not just cout<< ?

I always see Borland-specific bits in books and tutorials, telling the
reader to do something different if they're using borland. Surely there
can't be too much difference between the compilers.

summary of what is going on. BC++ Builder has a RAD like that of VB only
that it is 1000 times better, because it has components for anything.
Also its compiler is highly ANSI C++ compliant. In contrary VC++ IDE is
ancient, it has no RAD. Also VC++'s compiler is broken for ANSI C++. For
example the following code i think it will not compile:
=20
#include <iostream>
=20
int main()
{
 for(int i=3D0; i<5; i++)
    std::cout<<i;
   =20
 std::cout<<std::endl;
=20
 for(int i=3D0; i<5; i++)
   std::cout<<"It doesn't compile!\n";
}
=20
=20
That's my last email on this issue.

Bollocks I say lol ;)

If Borland had wanted me to buy their version (which I was going to do)
they shouldn't have had that free command line tools as their trial
download. It reflected bad on them, so I went and got VC++ just to spite
them lol.

And I've not regretted it - It does what I need it to do, and it does it
well.

Sorted.

Hello,
I've rearranged your code a bit (it is attached to this post), it should be 
safe as far as memory leakage is concerned.

Re: [Dev-C++] my delete function in my linked list

[Luigi S. <gi...@li...>]

Hi

AFAIK it is common practice to use pointers instead of references when a 
functions needs to change some of its parameters, the reason is the one 
pointed out by Jason:
when a routine requires a reference parameter, the user may not think that 
it will be modified, on the other hand passing a pointer (of course non 
const) stresses the fact that the parameter will be changed.

To make it clearer, one should use: "void swap(int *pa, int *pb);"
instead of "void swap (int &a, int &b);"

Of course there are cases when you are forced to use references: 
overloading the stream insertion operator (">>")is one of these; more 
often, for efficiency reasons, one finds some parameter passed as a const 
referece: this is safe because of the const.

IMHO you should have bought Borland C++ Builder. That way you don't have =
to deal the command line. AFAIK the Borland compiler is the most =
standards compliant compiler available.

Micro$oft!!!! boooo... sssss!

please help, thanks


2. From the bin directory of your installation:
   a. Add "c:\Borland\Bcc55"
      to the existing path
   b. Create a bcc32.cfg file which will set
      the compiler options for the Include
      and Lib paths (-I and -L switches to
      compiler) by adding these lines:
      -I"c:\Borland\Bcc55\include"
      -L"c:\Borland\Bcc55\lib"
   c. Create an ilink32.cfg file which will set
      the linker option for the Lib path by

Re: [Dev-C++] [Dec-C++]eof() function and type variable from file input

[Jason H. <jas...@bt...>]

No offence, but I'm having trouble working through your english. From what I
can gather you have a file which you need to read through and re-output in a
different format.

If you could provide an example of a valid input file (3 or 4 lines) and the
output file that it would convert to. You don't have to provide actual data,
just make it up if it's confidential. Maybe then we could work up something
that might work.

I don't know of any standard functions that determine for you whether
something is a float, int or string of somesort. It is assumed you would
know the file format or be able to work it out for yourself. It depends upon
how you choose to represent your data in the end.

I am currently working on a program that takes in a file and outputs
something else depending upon the contents of the input file. So all that
needs to be different is the code that deciphers the input and produces the
output.

Also Dev-C++ is just an environment for developing programs, the standard
compiler is MinGW, which isn't totally standards compliant but works well
enough.

Jason.
