So I have to write a string class, and I need help with reading from a file into a vector of string classes I've created. It somewhat works, as it reads from the file but it repeats the the word read in a few times depending on which word it's on.
// .h

}
I have overloaded the minus operator two times i.e String& operator-(const String& substr) and String& operator-(const string& substr). The cout statements in main functions are not giving the actual output. cout<<s2[0] is supposed to give 'b' in output. cout<< s2[1]; is supposed to give 'a' in output and cout<<s2[2] is supposed to give 'c' in output. But when I run this code I am not getting these actual values. What am I doing wrong?
I am defining my own string class called StringSet using a vector of strings. I am assigned to overload the >>, <<, ==, >, >=, +, += and * operators, and ran into a problem with <<. The output should be:
Welcome to stringset
hi everyone
"all" does not exist in the set.
hi
But it seems to be skipping the second and third lines. I am very new to overloading operators, so I am probably overlooking an obvious mistake.

Main function:
int main()
{
ofstream outs;
ifstream ins;
StringSet doc1, doc2, query
cout << "Welcome to stringset\n";
doc1.add("hi");
doc1.add("everyone");
outs << doc1;
doc1.remove("everyone");
doc1.remove("all");
outs << doc1;
}
If you use a variable that stores the size of the set, you should increment/decrement it when adding/removing elements. You can also change the definition of the StringSet::size():
int size() const
{
return static_cast<int>(data.size());
}
im working on a little scrabblegame which i read a txtfile and create a hashtable for all words inside. Word is a specific class which contains a vector of .
i want to create a hashmap by my own and define the length of my "Dictionary" is 50000. im using a nullpointer to reserve all index of my array. If i want to print to my hashtable, compiler tells me a segmentation fault. does any one seems the error?

It appears the inner loop's invariant is that j is between 0 and end-2 inclusive. Hence j will NEVER equal end (the "matching" condition).
Looks like you have a problem with your found logic.
Your for loop is defined as for(int j = 0; j < end -1; j++)
but then you test for if(j == end)
j can never be equal to end in this for loop. Consider what you're actually trying to test for in your if statement.
I think you need to declare i and j outside the loops.
I think you meant j < end and not j < end - 1
I think you need to if((i+j>=end1) || String[i+j] != other.String[j]) and not just if(String[i+j] != other.String[j])
and if(j == end) needs to be outside the inner loop.
Here is a similar implementation.
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class MyString
{
private:
string String;
unsigned int Size;
public:
MyString() {
this->String = "";
this->Size = 0;
}
MyString(string initial_value) {
this->String = initial_value;
this->Size = initial_value.length();
}
const int Find(const MyString& other);
};
const int MyString::Find(const MyString& other)
{
if (other.Size > Size)
return -1; // if the substring is greater then us, there's no way we can have it as a substring
int i = 0, j = 0;
for (i = 0; i < Size; i++)
{
for (j = 0; j < other.Size; j++)
if ( ((i + j) >= Size) || (String[i + j] != other.String[j]) ) // if they don't match, offset exceeded Size, break
break ;
if (j == other.Size) // We went through the entire substring, didn't hit break so j == Other.size
return i; // return index
}
return -1; // if we never return anything means, we didn't find it, so return -1
}
int main()
{
string temp1, temp2;
getline(std::cin, temp1, '\n');
getline(std::cin, temp2, '\n');
MyString main_string(temp1), sub_string(temp2);
cout << main_string.Find(sub_string) << endl;
return 0;
}
MyString MyString::Substring(int start, int length)
{
char* sub = new char[length + 2]; // 2 byte buffer to be safe
int i = 0;
for (i = 0; i < length; i++)
sub[i] = String[start + i];
sub[i] = '\0'; // always null terminated to be safe!
return MyString(sub);
}
if theres any bugs or issues, I apologize, haven't tested it.
Along with what everyone else said, in your Substring method you have the following bit of code:
while(start != '\0')
{
for(int i = start; i < length+1; i++)
{
sub[i] = String[i];
}
}
Take a moment to go over the logic of the while loop and ask yourself "what am I trying to achieve here, and what does this code actually do?"
I would like to implement both of these functions so that I would be able to input and output objects of my class. I have gotten the >> operator to work but not so much <<.
Here is my code in my .h file:
class MyString
{
public:
MyString();
MyString(char *message);
~MyString();
void Print();
void Copy(MyString& rhs);
int Length();
MyString& operator()(const int index, const char b);
char& operator()(const int i);
MyString& operator=(const MyString& rhs);
bool operator==(const MyString& other) const;
bool operator!=(const MyString& other) const;
const MyString operator+(const MyString& rhs) const;
MyString& operator+=(const MyString& rhs);
private:
char *String;
int Size;
};
istream& operator>>(istream& input, MyString& rhs);
ostream& operator<<(ostream& output, const MyString& rhs);
Here is my code for the two functions in my .cpp file:
MyString::MyString()
{
char temp[] = "Hello World";
int counter(0);
while(temp[counter] != '\0') {
counter++;
}
Size = counter;
String = new char [Size];
for(int i=0; i < Size; i++)
String[i] = temp[i];
}
MyString::MyString(char *message)
{
int counter(0);
while(message[counter] != '\0') {
counter++;
}
Size = counter;
String = new char [Size];
for(int i=0; i < Size; i++)
String[i] = message[i];
}
MyString::~MyString()
{
delete [] String;
}
int MyString::Length()
{
int counter(0);
while(String[counter] != '\0')
{
counter ++;
}
return (counter);
}
const MyString MyString::operator+(const MyString& rhs) const
{
char* tmp = new char[Size + rhs.Size +1];
for(int i = 0; i < Size; i++)
{
tmp[i] = String[i];
}
for(int i = 0; i < rhs.Size+1; i++)
{
tmp[i+Size] = rhs.String[i];
}
const MyString MyString::operator+(const MyString& rhs) const
{
char* tmp = new char[Size + rhs.Size +1];
for(int i = 0; i < Size; i++)
{
tmp[i] = String[i];
}
for(int i = 0; i < rhs.Size+1; i++)
{
tmp[i+Size] = rhs.String[i];
}
MyString result;
delete [] result.String;
result.String = tmp;
result.Size = Size+rhs.Size;
return result;
}
MyString& MyString::operator()(const int index, const char b)
{
if(String[index] == '\0')
{
exit(1);
}
else
{
String[index] = b;
}
}
MyString& MyString::operator=(const MyString& rhs)
{
if(this != &rhs)
{
delete [] String;
String = new char[rhs.Size];
Size = rhs.Size;
for(int i = 0; i < rhs.Size+1 ; i++)
{
String[i] = rhs.String[i];
}
}
return *this;
}
void MyString::Copy(MyString& rhs)
{
delete [] String;
Size = rhs.Size;
String = new char[rhs.Size];
String = rhs.String;
}
MyString& MyString::operator+=(const MyString& rhs)
{
char* tmp = new char[Size + rhs.Size + 1];
for(int i = 0; i < Size; i++)
{
tmp[i] = String[i];
}
for(int i = 0; i <rhs.Size+1; i++)
{
tmp[i+Size] = rhs.String[i];
}
delete [] String;
String = tmp;
Size += rhs.Size;
return *this;
}
bool MyString::operator!=(const MyString& other) const
{
return !(*this == other);
}
bool MyString::operator==(const MyString& other)const
{
if(other.Size == this->Size)
{
for(int i = 0; i < this->Size+1; i++)
{
if(&other == this)
return true;
}
}
else
return false;
}
char& MyString::operator()(const int i)
{
if( String[i] == '\0')
{
exit(1);
}
else
{
return String[i];
}
}
void MyString::Print()
{
for(int i=0; i < Size; i++)
cout << String[i];
cout << endl;
}
istream& operator>>(istream& input, MyString& rhs)
{
char* temp;
int size(256);
temp = new char[size];
input.getline(temp,size);
rhs = MyString(temp);
delete [] temp;
return input;
}
ostream& operator<<(ostream& output, const MyString& rhs)
{
char* p;
int size(256);
p = new char[size];
output << rhs.MyString(p);
delete [] p;
return output;
}
Here is how it is called in the main.cpp file:
cin >> SearchString >> TargetString; // Test of cascaded string-extraction operator<</*
if(SearchString.Find(ConstString) != -1) {
cout << ConstString << " is not in " << SearchString << endl; }
else {
cout << ConstString << " is in " << SearchString << endl;
cout << "Details of the hit: " << endl;
cout << "Starting poisition of the hit: " << SearchString.Find(ConstString) << endl;
cout << "The matching substring is: " << SearchString.Substring(SearchString.Find(ConstString), ConstString.length()); }
Again, the cin>> operator works perfectly but please help me to figure out how to output the string.
Not really sure what you are asking. The implementation depends on how you want to output the string.
For some raw output the code will most likely look like this:
output << rhs.get_data();
