First minus last element in an array - c++

I have written some code that prints 25 random numbers between 3 and 7 and puts them into an array, and then its reverse array. How would I now subtract the first number in the array minus the last number in the array? Here is my code so far. I have the function call and prototype made; just not sure what to put in the definition exactly:
#include <time.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
using namespace std;
// Function prototypes
void showArray ( int a[ ], int size ); // shows the array in the format "int a [ ] = { 3, 7, 4, ... ,5, 6, 3, 4, 7 } "
void showBeforeIndex( int a [ ], int size, int index); // shows all array values before a specified index
int firstMinusLast ( int a[ ], int size );
// **************************************************************************************************************************************
int main ()
{
// Array and reverse array
srand((int)time(NULL));
int i=0;
const int SIZE = 25;
int randvalue[SIZE];
cout << "Making an array of 25 random integers from 3 to 7!" << endl;
for(; i < SIZE; i++)
{
randvalue[i] = rand () % 5 + 3; // random number between 3 to 7
}
cout << "Original array a [ ] = {";
showArray(randvalue, SIZE);
cout << "}" << endl;
int j = SIZE-1;
i = 0;
while( i <= j)
{
swap(randvalue[i], randvalue[j]);
i++;
j--;
}
cout << "Reversed array a [ ] = {";
showArray(randvalue, SIZE);
cout << "}" << endl;
// *******************************************************************************************************
// Function call for FIRST - LAST
int returnFirstLast = firstMinusLast (randvalue, 25);
cout << "The difference between the first and and last array elements is " << returnFirstLast << endl;
//********************************************************************************************************
return 0;
}
// Function definition for ARRAY
void showArray ( int a[ ], int size )
{
int sum = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < size; i++)
cout << a[i];
}
// Function definition for FIRST - LAST
int firstMinusLast ( int a[ ], int size )
{
int fml;
return fml;
}

In C/C++ arrays are indexed beginning with 0. So the first element is at index 0. Given that the first element of an array is at index 0, then the last element of an array is at an index equal to the size of the array minus 1. So as code:
The first element is a[0]
The last element is a[SIZE - 1]
So to get their difference:fml you simply write: fml = a[0] - a[SIZE - 1]
This seems pretty simple for a function so perhaps you are expecting something bigger or different.
Do you need the absolute value of the difference? The magnitude of change without the sign? If so, just use the absolute value function.
fml = abs(a[0] - a[SIZE-1]);
If you meant to say that you want first minus last before the reverse, then simply do this:
fml = a[SIZE-1] - a[0];
If it needs the abs then it doesn't matter which way you do the subtract.

If you already have the size of the array, and you know the array is fully populated:
int firstMinusLast ( int a[ ], int size ){
return a[0] - a[size - 1];
}

Why doesn't push_back keep working in a loop?

Completely new to C++. Programmed selection sort on 1D array of arbitrary length. Want to allow user to keep inputting integers into console to make an array of desired length, to be subsequently sorted.
Can only seem to make arrays of length 2 using a while loop for adding elements. Code and example of erroneous result when inputting 6, 2, 3, and 9 shown below.
Script:
// Preprocessor directives and namespace declaration
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
// Function
void SelectionSort(int *arr, int len)
{
// Loop through index j in arr
for (int j = 0; j < len; j++) {
// Assume element j is minimum, and initialise minIndex
int min = arr[j];
int minIndex = j;
// Loop through comparisons to determine actual minimum
// (of elements after and including j)
for (int i = j; i < len; i++)
{
if (min > arr[i])
{
min = arr[i];
minIndex = i;
}
}
// Swap minimum with element j
int temp = arr[j];
arr[j] = min;
arr[minIndex] = temp;
}
// Display resulting array
for (int i = 0; i + 1 < len; i++)
{
cout << arr[i] << ", ";
}
cout << arr[len - 1] << endl;
}
// Main
int main()
{
// Explain program to user
cout << "Sort 1D array of user-inputted length/contents" << endl;
cout << "To finish array, enter -999" << endl;
// Initialise dynamic array
vector<int> vDyn (1);
vDyn[0] = 0;
cout << "Enter first element of array: ";
int firstElement = 0;
cin >> firstElement;
vDyn[0] = firstElement;
// Loop to define elements until desired length reached
bool keepGoing = true;
while (keepGoing == true)
{
cout << "Enter another element: ";
int newElement = 0;
cin >> newElement;
if (newElement != -999)
{
vDyn.push_back(newElement);
} else
{
keepGoing = false;
}
}
// Convert vector to array (dynamic to static)
int* v = &vDyn[0];
// Get array length
int len = sizeof(v) / sizeof(v[0]);
// Run SelectionSort function
SelectionSort(v, len);
return 0;
}
Terminal:
Sort 1D array of user-inputted length/contents
To finish array, enter -999
Enter first element of array: 6
Enter another element: 2
Enter another element: 3
Enter another element: 9
Enter another element: -999
2, 6
This declaration
int len = sizeof(v) / sizeof(v[0]);
is equivalent to the declaration
int len = sizeof( int * ) / sizeof( int );
because the variable v is declared like
int* v = &vDyn[0];
The size of a pointer is equal usually to 4 or 8 bytes. So the variable length will have the value either 1 or 2 and does not depend on the number of elements stored in the vector..
Instead you should use for example
size_t len = vDyn.size();
You could declare the function like
void SelectionSort(int *arr, size_t len);
and call it like
SelectionSort( vDyn.data(), vDyn.size() );
Also as in C++ there is standard function std::swap declared in the header <utility> then instead of this code snippet
// Swap minimum with element j
int temp = arr[j];
arr[j] = min;
arr[minIndex] = temp;
you could just write
if ( j != minIndex ) std::swap( arr[j], arr[minIndex] );
And the inner for loop could look like
for ( size_t i = j + 1; i < len; i++)
^^^^^
In fact your function SelectionSort is a C function. A C++ function should be more general and use iterators. In this case it could sort arrays along with other containers.
Here is a demonstration program that shows a more general function called for an array based on a vector.
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <iterator>
#include <algorithm>
template <typename ForwardIterator>
void SelectionSort( ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last )
{
for ( ; first != last; ++first )
{
auto current_min = first;
for ( auto next = std::next( first ); next != last; ++next )
{
if ( *next < *current_min ) current_min = next;
}
if ( current_min != first )
{
std::iter_swap( current_min, first );
}
}
}
int main()
{
std::vector<int> v = { 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 };
for ( const auto &item : v )
{
std::cout << item << ' ';
}
std::cout << '\n';
SelectionSort( v.data(), v.data() + v.size() );
for ( const auto &item : v )
{
std::cout << item << ' ';
}
std::cout << '\n';
}
The program output is
9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
In general you need also to write an overloaded function that accepts also a comparison function.
// Convert vector to array (dynamic to static)
int* v = &vDyn[0];
This line doesn't convert the array to anything. You merely take address of the first element in the vector.
If you want to take an underlying c-array from std::vector you are supposed to use data property of it.
Also, since the array is decayed into a pointer, it no longer contains data of its size. You should rely on std::vector properties (i.e. std::vector::size) to pass this information forward

The numbers in my bubble sort array output incorrectly after being sorted [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:
Array not playing back properly inside function - bubble sort
(1 answer)
Closed 2 years ago.
I am learning bubble sort. In my output array, the numbers in my presort array output correctly, but the second time it outputs with the sorted numbers it omits the 0 in the 10. I get an output of: Before sort: Array = {10, 2, 3, 1} After sort: Array = {1, 2, 3, 1} Any ideas?
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void showArray(int sortMe[], int size);
int main()
{
int sortMe[4] = {10, 2, 3, 1}; // Original Array
int numElements = 4;
int temp; // For swapping
cout << "Before sort: ";
showArray(sortMe, numElements);
for (int i=numElements-1; i>0; i--) { // For loop1
for(int j=0; j<i; j++) {
// Checks if the value on left is bigger than the right
if(sortMe[j] > sortMe[j+1]) {
// If bigger swap values
temp = sortMe[j];
sortMe[j] = sortMe[j+1];
sortMe[j+1] = temp;
}
}
}
cout << "After sort: ";
showArray(sortMe, numElements);
}
void showArray(int sortMe[], int size) {
// Outputs array in format array = {num1, num2, etc.}
int i = 0;
cout << "Array = {";
for (int i = 0; i < size - 1; i++) {
cout << sortMe[i] << ", ";
}
cout << sortMe[i] << "}" << endl;
}
Your problem is not the sorting, but printing. You define i two times.
If you rewrite your for loop inside the print like this your problem is solved for (; i < size - 1; i++).
The way you've written it the last element is always the element at index 0 because of int i = 0; outside of the loop.

Function to delete an element from an array not working

I wanted to write a function which upon being called deletes an element from an array given that the parameters passed in the deleteArray function were the array, its length and the value of the element to be deleted.
Tried breaking out of the for loop while transversing through the array if the element was found and then tried using i's value in another for loop to replace the current elements with their next element.
like array[j] = array[j + 1]
Here is the code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void deleteElement(int[], int, int);
int main() {
int array1[] = { 1, 4, 3, 5, 6 };
int length = sizeof(array1) / sizeof(array1[0]); //For length of array
deleteElement(array1, length, 4);
cout << "\nIn main function\n";
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
cout << array1[i];
}
return 0;
}
void deleteElement(int array2[], int length, int element) {
int i = 0;
for (int i; i < length; i++) {
if (array2[i] == element) {
for (int j = i; j < length; j++) {
array2[j] = array2[j + 1];
}
break;
}
}
if (i == (length - 1)) {
cout << ("Element doesn't exist\n");
}
cout << "Testing OP in deleteElement\n";
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
cout << array2[i];
}
}
Expected:
Testing OP in deleteElement
14356
In main function
1356
Actual:
Testing OP in deleteElement
14356
In main function
14356
The problem is rather silly:
At the beginning of deleteElement(), you define i with int i = 0;, but you redefine another variable i as a local index in each for loop. The for loop introduces a new scope, so the int i definition in the first clause of the for loop defines a new i, that shadows the variable with the same name defined in an outer scope.
for (int i; i < length; i++) {
And you do not initialize this new i variable.
There are 2 consequences:
undefined behavior in the first loop as i is uninitialized. The comparison i < length might fail right away.
the test if (i == (length - 1)) { tests the outer i variable, not the one that for iterated on. Furthermore, the test should be if (i == length) {
There are other issues:
the nested for loop iterates once too many times: when j == length - 1, accessing array[j + 1] has undefined behavior.
you do not update length, so the last element of the array is duplicated. You must pass length by reference so it is updated in the caller's scope.
Here is a corrected version:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void deleteElement(int array2[], int& length, int element);
int main() {
int array1[] = { 1, 4, 3, 5, 6 };
int length = sizeof(array1) / sizeof(array1[0]); //For length of array
deleteElement(array1, &length, 4);
cout << "\nIn main function\n";
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
cout << array1[i] << " ";
}
return 0;
}
void deleteElement(int array2[], int& length, int element) {
int i;
for (i = 0; i < length; i++) {
if (array2[i] == element)
break;
}
if (i == length) {
cout << "Element doesn't exist\n";
} else {
length -= 1;
for (; i < length; i++) {
array2[i] = array2[i + 1];
}
}
cout << "Testing OP in deleteElement\n";
for (i = 0; i < length; i++) {
cout << array2[i] << " ";
}
}
If you use the algorithm function std::remove, you can accomplish this in one or two lines of code without writing any loops whatsoever.
#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
void deleteElement(int array2[], int& length, int element)
{
int *ptr = std::remove(array2, array2 + length, element);
length = std::distance(array2, ptr);
}
int main()
{
int array1[] = { 1, 4, 3, 5, 6 };
int length = sizeof(array1) / sizeof(array1[0]); //For length of array
deleteElement(array1, length, 4);
for (int i = 0; i < length; ++i)
std::cout << array1[i];
}
Output:
1356
Note that we could have written the deleteElement function in a single line:
void deleteElement(int array2[], int& length, int element)
{
length = std::distance(array2, std::remove(array2, array2 + length, element));
}
Basically, std::remove moves the removed element to the end of the sequence, and returns a pointer to the beginning of the removed elements.
Thus to get the distance from the beginning of the array to where the removed elements are located, usage of std::distance is done to give us our new length.
To remove only the first found element, std::find can be used, and then std::copy over the elements, essentially wiping out the item:
void deleteElement(int array2[], int& length, int element)
{
int *ptr = std::find(array2, array2 + length, element);
if ( ptr != array2 + length )
{
std::copy(ptr+1,array2 + length, ptr);
--length;
}
}
int main()
{
int array1[] = { 1, 4, 3, 5, 4, 6, 9 };
int length = sizeof(array1) / sizeof(array1[0]); //For length of array
deleteElement(array1, length, 4);
for (int i = 0; i < length; ++i)
std::cout << array1[i];
}
Output:
135469
There is no need for multiple loops in deleteElement. Additionally, your removal will fail to remove all elements (e.g. 4 in your example) if your array contains more than one 4, e.g.
int array1[] = { 1, 4, 3, 4, 5 };
You can simplify your deleteElement function and handle removing multiple occurrences of element simply by keeping a count of the number of times the element is found and by using your counter as a flag to control removal, e.g.:
void deleteElement(int array2[], int& length, int element)
{
int found = 0; /* flag indicating no. element found */
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) { /* iterate over each element */
if (array2[i] == element) { /* check if matches current */
found += 1; /* increment number found */
continue; /* get next element */
}
if (found) /* if matching element found */
array2[i-found] = array2[i]; /* overwrite elements to end */
}
length -= found; /* update length based on no. found & removed */
}
Updating your example main() to show both pre-delete and post-delete, you could do something like the following:
int main (void) {
int array1[] = { 1, 4, 3, 4, 5 };
int length = sizeof array1 / sizeof *array1; //For length of array
cout << "\nBefore Delete\n";
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
cout << " " << array1[i];
cout << '\n';
deleteElement(array1, length, 4);
cout << "\nAfter Delete\n";
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
cout << " " << array1[i];
cout << '\n';
}
Example Use/Output
Which in the case where you array contains 1, 4, 3, 4, 5 would result in:
$ ./bin/array_del_elem
Before Delete
1 4 3 4 5
After Delete
1 3 5
While you are using an array of type int (of which there are many in both legacy and current code), for new code you should make use of the containers library (e.g. array or vector, etc...) which provide built in member functions to .erase() elements without you having to reinvent the wheel.
Look things over and let me know if you have further questions.
This is because the length of the array is never updated after deleting. Logically the length should decrease by 1 if the element was deleted.
To fix this, either
Pass the length by reference and decrease it by 1 if the element is actually deleted. OR
Return from the deleteElement some value which indicates that the element was deleted. And based of that, decrease the value of length in the main function.
Recalculating the array length will not help because the element is not actually deleted in memory. So the memory allocated to he array remains same.
Other issues:
The first for loop in deleteElement should run till j < length - 1.
The for loop creates a local variable i, which shadows the i variable in outer scope, so the outer i is never updated and always remains = 0

Finding the highest number in an array of length 5

This should be really simple, but I'm used to higher level languages and am missing something. I'm just trying to make sure the input is five numbers long, and then find the highest number. Unfortunately, something goes wrong in that second part.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
bool isFiveDigits(int num) {
if (std::to_string(num).length() == 5) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
int highestInArr(int *nums) {
int highest = nums[0];
for (int i = 1; i < sizeof(nums); i++) {
int temp = nums[i];
if (temp > highest) {
highest = temp;
}
}
return highest;
}
int main() {
using namespace std;
int num;
int nums [5];
cout << "Enter a five digit number!\n";
cin >> num;
if (!isFiveDigits(num)) {
cout << "Not five digits, can you even count?";
return 1;
}
string numstr = to_string(num);
for (int i = 0; i < numstr.length(); i++) {
cout << numstr[i] << " ";
nums[i] = (int)numstr[i];
}
cout << "\n" << highestInArr(nums);
}
When this runs, I get:
Enter a five digit number!
12345
1 2 3 4 5
1424080487
Of course, 1,424,080,487 is not in [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].
You cannot pass a pointer into a function and get the size of it without template deduction. At runtime, all the function receives is a pointer. When you call sizeof(nums), you are not getting the size of the original array. You are simply getting the size of the pointer, which is the same as saying sizeof(int_ptr). Instead, you should be using a std::vector when using collections whose sizes are dynamic.
Now, you CAN receive the size by doing something like this:
#include <iostream>
template<typename num_t, size_t N>
num_t max_num(num_t(&arr)[N]) {
num_t m = (num_t)0;
for (size_t i = 0; i < N; ++i)
if (arr[i] > m)
m = arr[i];
return m;
}
int main(){
int foo[] = { 1, 5, 2, 4, 3 };
int m = max_num(foo);
std::cout << m << std::endl;
std::cin.get();
return 0;
}
However, this is not necessarily preferred and assumes that the array was created on the caller's stack. It does not work for dynamically allocated arrays that were created with new[]. If you do this multiple times with different sizes, you will have multiple implementations of the same function (that's what templates do). The same goes for using an std::array<int, N>. If you use N as a size_t template parameter, it will do the same thing.
There are two preferred options:
Send the size of the array into the function so that the caller is responsible for the size.
Use a different container such as std::vector so the callee is responsible for the size.
Example:
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
int main(){
std::vector<int> vec{ 1, 5, 2, 4, 3 };
int m = *std::max_element(std::cbegin(vec), std::cend(vec));
std::cout << m << std::endl;
std::cin.get();
return 0;
}
As for the is_5_digits, you should use the base-10 logarithm function.
#include <cmath>
// ...
int i = 12345;
size_t length = (i > 0 ? (int)log10(i) : 0) + 1;
std::cout << length << std::endl; // prints 5;
First of all, you can't simply convert a char to int just like (int)numstr[i] assuming that it will return the digit which it contains.
See, if you have a char '0', it means it's ASCII equivalent is stored, which is 48 in case of 0, 49 in case of '1' and so on.
So in order to get that digit (0,1,2,...,9), you've to substract 48 from the ASCII value.
So change this line:
nums[i] = (int)numstr[i];
to:
nums[i] = (int)numstr[i] - 48; // or nums[i] = (int)numstr[i] - '0';
And another thing, in your highestInArr function, you're getting a pointer as parameter, and in the function, you're using sizeof to determine the size of the array. You can't simply do that, the sizeof will return the size of int*, which is not the size of the array, so you've to pass size as the second argument to the function, and use it in the loop.
Like this:
int highestInArr(int *nums, int size) {
// ...
for (int i = 1; i < size; i++) {
// ...
}
// ...
}

How To Shift Array Elements to right and replace the shifted index with string in Visual C++

VISUAL C++ Question
Hi,
I have array of 3 elements and I want to shift its elements to the right and replace the shifted index cell with "SHIFTED" string and this should loop until all the cells has "SHIFTED" string.
For example:
int a[x]={0,1,2};
Initial index and elements Order:
[0]=0
[1]=1
[2]=2
should become in the:
1st loop:
[0]=SHIFTED
[1]=0
[2]=1
2nd Loop:
[0]=SHIFTED
[1]=SHIFTED
[2]=0
3rd Loop:
[0]=SHIFTED
[1]=SHIFTED
[2]=SHIFTED
I know I can do that with memmove() but I don't want to use any function in it.
Would you please help me; here is my work:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int const ARRAY_SIZE=3;
int main()
{
int Array[ARRAY_SIZE];
int iniPostion,newPostion;
string x="SHIFTED";
for(iniPostion=0; iniPostion<ARRAY_SIZE; iniPostion++)
{
Array[iniPostion] = iniPostion;
cout << "Cell [" << iniPostion << "] Initial Element is: (" << Array[iniPostion] << ")" << endl;
}
cout << endl;
for(newPostion=0; newPostion<ARRAY_SIZE; newPostion++)
{
Array[newPostion]=newPostion;
cout << "Cell [" << newPostion << "] New Element is: (";
if(Array[newPostion-1]<0)
{
cout << x << ")\n";
}
else
{
cout << Array[newPostion-1] << ")" << endl;
}
}
return 0;
}
As Peter mentioned in his answer, you cannot assign a string to a int. I've assumed SHIFTED to be -1. So every time you shift you bring in a -1 in the gap created.
You need two loops. The outer loops iterates N (3) times and inner loop starts at the end of the array and copies (n-1)th element to nth position:
for(int count = 0;count < N;count++){
for(newPostion=ARRAY_SIZE-1; newPostion > count;newPostion--)
Array[newPostion]=Array[newPostion - 1]; // copy
Array[newPostion]= -1; // fill the gap.
// print.
for(iniPostion=0; iniPostion<ARRAY_SIZE; iniPostion++) {
cout << "Cell [" << iniPostion << "] Initial Element is: (" << Array[iniPostion] << ")" << endl;
}
cout<<endl;
}
Sample run:
# g++ a.cpp && ./a.out
Cell [0] Initial Element is: (0)
Cell [1] Initial Element is: (1)
Cell [2] Initial Element is: (2)
Cell [0] Initial Element is: (-1)
Cell [1] Initial Element is: (0)
Cell [2] Initial Element is: (1)
Cell [0] Initial Element is: (-1)
Cell [1] Initial Element is: (-1)
Cell [2] Initial Element is: (0)
Cell [0] Initial Element is: (-1)
Cell [1] Initial Element is: (-1)
Cell [2] Initial Element is: (-1)
It is a bit unclear, how you can expect to have string ("SHIFTED") in an array of integers.
However, for this operation you can use the rotate algorithm:
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <string>
int const ARRAY_SIZE=3;
void print(std::string* array) {
for (int i = 0; i != ARRAY_SIZE; ++i) {
std::cout << array[i] << ' ';
}
std::cout << '\n';
}
int main()
{
std::string Array[ARRAY_SIZE] = {"0", "1", "2"};
print(Array);
//the last item ends up at the beginning of the array
std::rotate(Array, Array + ARRAY_SIZE - 1, Array + ARRAY_SIZE);
//now overwrite the item that used to be last
Array[0] = "SHIFTED";
print(Array);
return 0;

It would probably be simpler and more efficient with a suitable container, such as std::deque or std::list where you could pop_back the last value and push_front the new value.
I have array of 3 elements and I want to shift its elements to the right and replace the shifted index cell with "SHIFTED" string and this should loop until all the cells has "SHIFTED" string.
This doesn't make sense at all. You have an array of numbers (integers), which of course can't contain a string. What you can do is e.g. inserting 0 or -1 to denote the shifted element.
The shifting itself can be easily implemented through a std::rotate operation.
But since all elements contain the same thing in the end, why don't you just assign them directly without all the shifting?
Here is my simple solution in plain old C
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
void main(int argc, char **argv) {
int MAX_LEN = 11;
int numOfShifts = 1;
if ( argc > 1 ) {
numOfShifts = atoi(argv[1]);
}
printf("Number of shifts = %d\n",numOfShifts);
int arr[] = { 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 };
int i;
int n; // number of shifts index
for ( n = 0; n < numOfShifts; n++ ) {
for ( i = MAX_LEN - 1; i >= 0; i-- ) {
if ( i == 0 ) {
arr[i] = -1;
} else {
arr[i] = arr[i-1];
}
}
}
// output
for( i = 0; i < MAX_LEN; i++ ) {
printf("Arr[%d] = %d\n", i, arr[i]);
}
}
This reeks of homework...
Is there a reason you can't just keep track of how many shifts you've done and just take that into account when you print?
#include <iostream>
int const ARRAY_SIZE=3;
class Shifter
{
public:
Shifter(const int* array_, size_t size_)
: array(array_), size(size_), shifts(0) {}
void Shift(size_t steps = 1) { shifts += steps; if(shifts > size) shifts = size; }
void Print(std::ostream& os) const;
private:
const int* array;
size_t size;
size_t shifts;
};
void Shifter::Print(std::ostream& os) const
{
for(size_t i = 0; i < size; ++i)
{
os << "Cell [" << i << "] = ";
if(i < shifts)
os << "SHIFTED";
else
os << array[i - shifts];
os << std::endl;
}
}
std::ostream& operator <<(std::ostream& os, const Shifter& sh)
{
sh.Print(os);
return os;
}
int main(void)
{
// Initialize the array.
int a[ARRAY_SIZE];
for(size_t iniPostion=0; iniPostion < ARRAY_SIZE; iniPostion++)
a[iniPostion] = iniPostion;
Shifter sh(a, ARRAY_SIZE);
std::cout << "Initial contents:" << std::endl;
std::cout << sh << std::endl;
// Do the shifts.
for(size_t newPostion = 0; newPostion < ARRAY_SIZE; newPostion++)
{
std::cout << "Shift by 1..." << std::endl;
sh.Shift();
std::cout << sh << std::endl;
}
return 0;
}
You can simple move memory.
// shift down
int a[ 10 ];
memmove( a, a +1, sizeof( a ) -sizeof( a[ 0 ] ) );
