I have made this function in c++ to read inputs from stdin faster than cin for using in competitive programming judges.
inline int VReadNumber() {
int n = 0;
int ch = getchar_unlocked();
while(ch >= '0' && ch <= '9') {
n = (n<<3) + (n<<1) + ch - '0';
ch = getchar_unlocked();
}
return n; }
It works perfectly if all inputs are given without line breaks like
2
40 40
80
5
1 2 3 4 5
10
But it doesn't do well with line breaks in the inputs like
2
40 40
80
5
1 2 3 4 5
10
and only reads values till the line break, here until 80.
How can i make this work with line breaks? Also a usage example would be greatly appreciated.
Is it worth using this with all its "nuances" instead of scanf and such?
That's because an empty line means two consecutive non-digit (\n) characters. Your code can handle only one. Add another loop for consuming whitespace, ideally at the beginning of the function and leave the last non-digit character in the buffer.

I have a assingment were I need to code and decode txt files, for example: hello how are you? has to be coded as hel2o how are you? and aaaaaaaaaajkle as a10jkle.
while ( ! invoer.eof ( ) ) {
if (kar >= '0' && kar <= '9') {
counter = kar-48;
while (counter > 1){
uitvoer.put(vorigeKar);
counter--;
}
}else if (kar == '/'){
kar = invoer.get();
uitvoer.put(kar);
}else{
uitvoer.put(kar);
}
vorigeKar = kar;
kar = invoer.get ( );
}
but the problem I have is if need to decode a12bhr, the answer is aaaaaaaaaaaabhr but I can't seem to get the 12 as number without problems, I also can't use any strings or array's.
c++
I believe that you are making following mistake: imagine you give a32, then you read the character a and save it as vorigeKar (previous character, I am , Flemish so I understand Dutch :-) ).
Then you read 3, you understand that it is a number and you repeat vorigeKar three times, which leads to aaa. Then you read 2 and repeat vorigeKar two times, leading to aaaaa (five times, five equals 3 + 2).
You need to learn how to keep on reading numeric characters, and translate them into complete numbers (like 32, or 12 in your case).
Like #Dominique said in his answers, You're doing it wrong.
Let me tell you my logic, you can try it.
Pesudo Code + Logic:
Store word as a char array or string, so that it'll be easy to print at last
Loop{
Read - a //check if it's number by subtracting from '0'
Read - 1 //check if number = true. Store it in int res[] = res*10 + 1
//Also store the previous index in an index array(ie) index of char 'a' if you encounter a number first time.
Read - 2 //check if number = true. Store it in res = res*10 + 2
Read - b , h and so on till "space" character
If you encounter another number, then store it's previous character's index in index array and then store the number in a res[] array.
Now using index array you can get the index of your repeating character to be printed and print it for it's corresponding times which we have stored in the result array.
This goes for the second, third...etc:- numbers in your word till the end of the word
}
First, even though you say you can't use strings, you still need to know the basic principle behind how to turn a stream of digit characters into an integer.
Assuming the number is positive, here is a simple function that turns a series of digits into a number:
#include <iostream>
#include <cctype>
int runningTotal(char ch, int lastNum)
{
return lastNum * 10 + (ch -'0');
}
int main()
{
// As a test
char s[] = "a123b23cd1/";
int totalNumber = 0;
for (size_t i = 0; s[i] != '/'; ++i)
{
char digit = s[i]; // This is the character "read from the file"
if ( isdigit( digit) )
totalNumber = runningTotal(digit, totalNumber);
else
{
if ( totalNumber > 0 )
std::cout << totalNumber << "\n";
totalNumber = 0;
}
}
std::cout << totalNumber;
}
Output:
123
23
1
So what was done? The character array is the "file". I then loop for each character, building up the number. The runningTotal is a function that builds the integer from each digit character encountered. When a non-digit is found, we output that number and start the total from 0 again.
The code does not save the letter to "multiply" -- I leave that to you as homework. But the code above illustrates how to take digits and create the number from them. For using a file, you would simply replace the for loop with the reading of each character from the file.

I've been tasked with solving a rather simple problem but I'm stuck on 1 thing
Given the following file structure:
4
124 123 145 152
1400
13 23 51 24 1412 5151 52512 12412...
...
I am supposed to do various tasks with data but before doing anything with it I have to check whether int in first line corresponds to number of ints in 2nd line (same for 3rd and 4th line)
The problem is the number of elements can reach up to 150 000 and int value is between (1;2 000 000) so using getline can be problematic (afaik) as it will be resource heavy.
Cin will ignore whitespaces and \n so I will never know when line ends
I can't modify the original file and I try to use as least resources as possible.
hm not sure if i understand the question completely but why dont you use getline to store the line that contains 1400 ints as a string. Afterwards using a istringstream make sure you read 1400 ints. Maybe something like this:
getline(cin, line);
while(iss >> n && i++ < numOfInts) {}
then outside make sure i == numOfInts.
This way you'll never actually be storing 1400 ints, you'll just keep overwriting the previous integer
You can create a custom function to take the integer values, Something like this:
int getints(){
int ctr = 0;
char ch;
int sign = 1, n=0;
while(ch!='\n'){
while(ch==' ' || ch=='\t')
ch = getchar();
if(ch=='-'){
sign = -1;
ch = getchar();
}
while(ch >= '0' && ch <= '9'){
n = n*10 + ch - '0';
ch = getchar();
}
n *= sign;
++ctr;
}
return ctr;
}
This function will return the number of integers scanned in a line. Just check it with the number of integers that are supposed in a line. It basically skips all whitespace characters and terminates input after newline is found.
I am trying to figure out how to read two matrices from one file and then assign them to two different 2D arrays. The matrices are separated by a new line in the text file. I managed to get the first one to read successfully but now I cant figure out how to read the second one. The way I see it, the the line that separates the two matrices must be considered and checked for. How do I get the program to read and assign the second matrix to an array?
Both matrices and arrays are 4x4.
This is what the text file looks like:
3 4 5 7
5 16 7 12
11 12 3 9
9 8 1 12
15 4 3 6
1 12 3 12
7 8 19 9
11 12 8 5
Here is my code for the first array which works fine.
for (int y = 0; y < 4; ++y )
{
for (int x = 0; x < 4; ++x )
{
infile >> array1[x][y];
}
}
And here is my code for the array I can't figure out.
for (int y = 0; y < 4; ++y )
{
for (int x = 0; x < 4; ++x )
{
if(x == '\n' && y == '\n') //My attempt.
{
infile >> array2[x][y];
}
}
}
Here is the output:
This will check to make sure numbers in file are written to the first array.
3 4 5 7
5 16 7 12
11 12 3 9
9 8 1 12
This will check to make sure numbers in file are written to the second array.

When you are reading your file using the "formatted input" operator >>, the kind and amount whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines) between the items (numbers in your case) is insignificant. This means you do not get to see the empty line at all. If you need to parse a file based on its lines, consider using getline instead and parsing the single lines using a istringstream.
If on the other hand you know the size of both arrays, you can simply read the second array just as you read the first array. The extra empty line just gets ignored.
The reason your code for reading the second array does not work is that you compare the index variables to '\n', which happens to be 10 on most systems. As your index ranges from 0 to 3, the if condition is never true, so nothing gets read at all, so you are seeing a dump of uninitialized memory.
You can read the second array exactly as you read the first. The reason is that, when you start reading from a stream, at first it discards whitespaces till it encounters something that is not whitespace. Then it gets the numbers/character one by one till it encounters whitespace again. So, there is no problem with the newline and you can read the remaining array without problems.
so I'm trying to write a program that would take an input character between 0 and 127 and then output a string of numbers in the following form:
- If I input a 0, the output should be a 0
- If I input a 5, the output should be 012345
- If I input a 9, the output should be 0123456789
- If I input a 14, the output should be 012345678901234
- If I input a 27, the output should be 0123456789012345678901234567
So, I'm looking for increments of 10 characters from 0 to 9 at most and then repeat the sequence until the last number is reached. So in 27, there's actually 28 characters output due to the first 0, but the last one is still a 7.
I know I want to use for loops, but I'm having a bit of a trouble figuring out how to make this happen. I can probably use the the ASCII 48 through 57 for the output, but my problem is how I make the input work... should I static cast it to an integer and then work with that? I'm kind of hitting a wall here.
Try the following:
#include <iostream>
int main() {
char input;
std::cin >> input;
if (input >= 0 && input <= 127) {
for (int i = 0; i <= n; i++) std::cout << i % 10;
}
}
Just need general project help.
Basically I need to do this for 8 players. The numbers come from a file im supposed to call in. The first 5 numbers for for the first 5 games, the next for rebounds, and then for blocks. Im assuming I need to call in a loop to read the first name, last name, points, rebounds and blocks, process that info and then output the information.Any tips/ suggestions?
ex from the text file:
Thomas Robinson 17 28 10 16 10 11 12 13 8 9 1 1 1 0 1
ex from what I'm supposed to return that information to
Game Log
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Player Name : Thomas Robinson

I think this is homework, but since I don't know which functions can be used, and which functions can't, my answers may be can't fit the request.
At a first look, I got three ideas.
1) using ifstream::get()
ifstream in_file;
in_file.open("your_file_name.txt");
char ch;
string str = "";
while(in_file.get() != '\n')
{
str = "";
while((ch = in_file.get()) != ' ')
{
// add ch to str.
str += string(&ch, 1);
}
// push str into an array, vector, stack, etc.
/*...*/
}
in_file.close();
2) read the line into a string, and then use a split function, you can find how to implement a split function everywhere.
3) use the ifstream::getline() function, it provides a delemiter parameter.
you can find the usage of ifstream::get() and ifstream::getline() here and here
The code I provide in 1) is probably not a good practice, you should check the 'EOF' stream error, in_file.open()'s exceptions etc.
btw, the code I first wrote was an error code, you can't use str += string(ch), you should either write str += string(&ch, 1) or str += string(1, ch) or str += ch you can find string's constructors here. Sorry for the error code again.
You can parse the file with the ">>" operator pretty nicely if everything is separated by spaces and newlines. Which is how the ">>" operator works. So, yes, you need a loop. Basically you want the loop to work like this:
(I never knew you could do this in Comp Sci 1. It would've saved me so much trouble...I used to do things like what the other answer is doing.)
(I'm also assuming you know how to open a txt file as an ifstream. If not, see http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/iostream/ifstream/open/.)
int temp;
int n = 0;
int x = 1;
while(textfile >> temp) // Each time through the loop, this will make temp
// the next value in the file. It will stop when
// there's nothing more to read.
{
/* Now it's going to go from left to right through the file, so you
need some logic to put it in the right place. you know that every
five numbers start a new column, so:*/
array[x][n] = temp; //Start x at 1 because you're skipping the first column
n++;
if (n == 5) {
n = 0;
x++; //Every five values, move on to the next column
}
Now your array will have the stuff where it needs to be. Just output it according to plan.
