It says:
[Error] invalid conversion from 'int*' to 'int' [-fpermissive] on line 9 col 5.
What was asked of me to do:
Make a program that would accept array of 10 integers and determine the highest and the lowest integers from the set of integers. Use pointer variables for the highest and lowest integer.
what i did:
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int kre_arr[10];
int *kre_p;
for(int k = 0; k<=10; k++)
{
kre_p[k] = &kre_arr[k];
}
int j,temp;
cout<<"Enter 10 Integers: ";
for (*kre_p=0; *kre_p < 10; *kre_p++)
{
cin>>kre_arr[*kre_p];
}
for(*kre_p=0;*kre_p<=10;*kre_p++)
{
for(j=*kre_p+1;j<=10;j++)
{
if(kre_arr[*kre_p] > kre_arr[j])
{
temp = kre_arr[*kre_p];
kre_arr[*kre_p] = kre_arr[j];
kre_arr[j] = temp;
}
}
}
for(*kre_p=0;*kre_p<=9;*kre_p++)
{
cout<<endl<<kre_arr[*kre_p];
}
}
code i did before adding pointer i dont seem to understand pointer that much.
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int kre_arr[10];
int *kre_p;
int i,j,temp;
cout<<"Enter 10 Integers: ";
for (int i=0; i < 10; i++)
{
cin>>kre_arr[i];
}
for(i=0;i<=10;i++)
{
for(j=i+1;j<=10;j++)
{
if(kre_arr[i] > kre_arr[j])
{
temp = kre_arr[i];
kre_arr[i] = kre_arr[j];
kre_arr[j] = temp;
}
}
}
for(i=0;i<=9;i++)
{
cout<<endl<<kre_arr[i];
}
}
Looking at what you are asked to do I think you just have to determine the highest and lowest int in the array and point to. You sort the array thats slower.
I think it should look like that:
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int kre_arr[10];
int *low;
int *high;
cout<<"Enter 10 Integers: ";
for (int i=0; i < 10; i++)
{
cin>>kre_arr[i];
}
//determine the lowest
low=&kre_arr[0];
for(int i=1;i<10;i++)
{
if(kre_arr[i] < *low)
{
low=&kre_arr[i];
}
}
//determine the highest
high=&kre_arr[0];
for(int i=1;i<10;i++)
{
if(kre_arr[i] > *high)
{
high=&kre_arr[i];
}
}
cout<<"lowest: "<<*low<<"\nhighest: "<<*high;
}
kre_p[k] = &kre_arr[k];
kre_arr is array.
kre_arr[k] is integer.
&kre_arr[k] is integer address ( similar int*)
kre_p is pointer.
kre_p[k] is integer.
So, as a result, you cannot pass directly int* to int.
I guess you want kre_p+k = &kre_arr[k]
Given the state of your code, I fear for your life... So, for your overal survival, and of course in the hopes that you will learn something:
Never use 'using namespace std'. It's bad form.
You are not allocating memory for your array of pointers (kre_p). That will cause your program to crash for sure.
You don't actually need an array of pointers. Your array elements can be conveniently referred to by their offset in the array.
You are doing what appears to be a bubblesort to find the lowest and highest value. That's incredibly inefficient, and completely unnecessary.
C++ can be such a nice language. It bothers me when teachers seem to think they should be teaching it in a form that's as ugly as possible. Consider:
#include <algorithm>
#include <array>
#include <iostream>
int main () {
std::cout << "Enter 10 Integers: ";
std::array<int, 10> kre_arr;
for (auto &Val : kre_arr)
std::cin >> Val;
const int Low = *std::min_element (kre_arr.begin (), kre_arr.end ());
const int High = *std::max_element (kre_arr.begin (), kre_arr.end ());
// The assignment calls for pointers, so let's not disappoint.
const int *LowPtr = &Low;
const int *HighPtr = &High;
}

I have passed an array of size 10 to a funtion to sort the array reversely, but it's going wrong after rightly sorting first five elements of the array.
I want to sort the array 'std' reversely here,
# include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int reverse(int a[]); //funtion prototype
int main()
{
int std[10] = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9};
reverse(std);
}
int reverse(int a[]) //funtion defination
{
int index = 0;
for (int i = 9; i >= 0; i--)
{
a[index] = a[i]; //swaping values of the array
cout << a[index] << " ";
index++;
}
}
There's basically three things wrong with your code.
You aren't swapping anything
You have to swap the first half of the array with the second half, not swap the whole array. If you do that then everything gets swapped twice, so that nothing changes
You should print the reversed array after you have finished the reverse, not while you are doing the reverse.
Here's some code that fixes all these problems
# include <iostream>
# include <utility>
void reverse(int a[]);
int main()
{
int std[10] = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9};
reverse(std);
// print the array after reversing it
for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
std::cout << std[i] << ' ';
std::cout << '\n';
}
void reverse(int a[])
{
for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) // swap the first half of the array with the second half
{
std::swap(a[i], a[9 - i]); // real swap
}
}
Yes you can.
I usually don't use "C" style arrays anymore (they can still be useful, but the don't behave like objects). When passing "C" style arrays to functions you kind of always have to manuall pass the size of the array as well (or make assumptions). Those can lead to bugs. (not to mention pointer decay)
Here is an example :
#include <array>
#include <iostream>
// using namespace std; NO unlearn trhis
template<std::size_t N>
void reverse(std::array<int, N>& values)
{
int index = 0;
// you only should run until the middle of the array (size/2)
// or you start swapping back values.
for (int i = values.size() / 2; i >= 0; i--, index++)
{
// for swapping objects/values C++ has std::swap
// using functions like this shows WHAT you are doing by giving it a name
std::swap(values[index], values[i]);
}
}
int main()
{
std::array<int,10> values{ 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 };
reverse(values);
for (const int value : values)
{
std::cout << value << " ";
}
return 0;
}
I am new to C++. I am trying to define a binary converter function and return a pointer. Then U want to display generated binary in the main function:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int* binary_con(int n)
{
int i;
int binary[100];
for (i = 0; n > 0; i++)
{
binary[i] = n % 2;
n = n / 2;
}
return binary;
}
int main()
{
int n;
int* a;
cout << "Input the number:";
cin >> n;
a = binary_con(n);
while (*a)
{
cout << *a;
a++;
}
return 0;
}
But after I run my code, I got this:
Can anyone explain this to me?
you can't return an array from a function, the way is to pass that array as an argument to the functionm using this approach:
void binary_con(int n, int *binary)
now you have access to binary array inside your function, hence you can edit it and see the changes outside of the function without returning anything.
inside your main, instead of writing a = binary_con(n);, you should write this:
binary_con(n, a);
I am trying to use pointers whenever possible in the following code and am having difficulty figuring out how, exactly, to institute the pointers and how to return a pointer value at the end of my first function. I have done some research on the subject but none of the methods I found have been helpful so far, so I was hoping you may have some specialized tips.
Note: I am a beginner.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int mode(int *pies[], int size) {
int count = 1;
int max = 0;
int *mode=pies[0];
for (int i=0; i<size-1; i++)
{
if (pies[i] == pies[i+1])
{
count++;
if (count>max)
{
max = count;
mode = pies[i];
}
}
else
count = 1;
}
return *mode;
}
int main() {
int n;
cout<<"Input the number of people: "<<endl;
cin>>n;
int survey[n];
cout << "Enter the amount of pie eaten by each person:" << endl;
for(int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
cout <<"Person "<<(i + 1)<< ": "<<endl;
cin>>survey[i];
}
cout<<"Mode: "<<mode(survey, n)<< endl;
return 0;
}
Here is an attempt to answer.
In your main(), you call the mode() function with mode(survey, n) while int survey[n]; is an array of int, so you may use int mode(int *pies, int size) instead of int mode(int *pies[], int size) (as the array int survey[n] can be implicitly converted into pointer).
However, you need to modify two more things in your function:
int *mode=pies[0]; is wrong as pies[0] is the first element of an array of int, thus is an int, while int* mode is a pointer on an int which is incompatible. mode should be an int to receive pies[0]. The correct code is then int mode = pies[0].
Your function signature is int mode(int *pies, int size), thus, again, you should return an int. You should then just return mode;
These are only hints on how to make the code compile.
Your next step is to formalize what you would like it to do and then modify the code accordingly
NB: The correct practice is to think about what you would like to achieve first and then code afterwards (but let us say that this is for the sake of helping each other)
To get started using pointers, you may look at some simple tutorials at first:
http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/arrays/
https://www.programiz.com/c-programming/c-pointers
https://www.programiz.com/c-programming/c-pointers-arrays
https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/pointer-array-array-pointer/
https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-return-a-pointer-from-a-function-in-c/
https://www.tutorialspoint.com/cprogramming/c_return_pointer_from_functions.htm
Here is the modified code with the stated modifications above (it compiles):
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int mode(int *pies, int size) {
int count = 1;
int max = 0;
int mode=pies[0];
for (int i=0; i<size-1; i++)
{
if (pies[i] == pies[i+1])
{
count++;
if (count>max)
{
max = count;
mode = pies[i];
}
}
else
count = 1;
}
return mode;
}
int main() {
int n;
cout<<"Input the number of people: "<<endl;
cin>>n;
int survey[n];
cout << "Enter the amount of pie eaten by each person:" << endl;
for(int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
cout <<"Person "<<(i + 1)<< ": "<<endl;
cin>>survey[i];
}
cout<<"Mode: "<<mode(survey, n)<< endl;
return 0;
}
I need help with this code.
What I want is to make a parametric constructor and initialise/set the value of array in it.
Question: Make a class with arrays of integers and initialise it in a constructor. Then find the smallest and largest numbers using functions.
But I am stuck at how to initialise the array in the constructor.
I want to take data input in both ways
(1) By user, using cin
(2) By giving my own values
class Numbers
{
int Arr[3];
public:
Numbers() //default constructor
{
for (int i=0 ; i<=2 ; i++)
{
Arr[i]=0;
}
}
Numbers(int arr[]) //parameteric constructor
{
for (int i=0;i<=2;i++)
{
Arr[i]=arr[i];
}
}
};
int main()
{
int aro[3] = {0,10,5};
Numbers obj (aro);
return ;
}
The solution is pretty simple. I've made a new program from start again (for sake of understanding). According to your requirement, you wants to get input of array elements from the user dynamically and assign them to a constructor and use a method to print the highest value.
Consider the following code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
const int N = 100;
class Numbers
{
int largest = 0;
public:
Numbers(int, int[]);
void showHighest(void)
{
cout << largest << endl;
}
};
Numbers::Numbers(int size, int arr[])
{
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
if (arr[i] > largest)
{
largest = arr[i];
}
}
}
int main(void)
{
int arrays[N], total;
cout << "How many elements? (starts from zero) ";
cin >> total;
for (int i = 0; i < total; i++)
{
cout << "Element " << i << ": ";
cin >> arrays[i];
}
Numbers n(total, arrays);
n.showHighest();
return 0;
}
Output
How many elements? (starts from zero) 3
Element 0: 12
Element 1: 16
Element 2: 11
16
Note: I've initialized a constant number of maximum elements, you can modify it. No vectors, etc. required to achieve so. You can either use your own values by removing the total and its followed statements and use only int arrays[<num>] = {...} instead. You're done!
Enjoy coding!
I suggest to use std::vector<int> or std::array<int>.
If you want initialize with custom values you can do std::vector<int> m_vec {0, 1, 2};
Thank you so much for your help. I was basically confused about how to use arrays in a constructor and use setters/getters for arrays in a class. But you all helped a lot. Thanks again.
Numbers(int arr[])
{
for (int i=0;i<=9;i++)
{
Arr[i]=arr[i];
}
Largest=Arr[0];
Smallest=Arr[0];
}
void Largest_Number()
{
header_top("Largest Number");
Largest=Arr[0]; //Using this so we make largest value as index zero
for (int i=0 ; i<=9 ; i++)
{
if(Arr[i]>Largest)
{
setLargest( Arr[i] );
}
}
cout<<"Largest Number: "<<getLargest()<<endl;
}
I want to enter n times values for c and e arrays. The following program doesn't allow me to even enter the value of 'n'. Could you tell me where is the mistake?
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int n,c[n],e[n];
cin>>n;
for(int i=0;i<n;i++){
cin>>c[i]>>e[i];
}
return 0;
}
"n" should be defined before using it to fix array size. Also, const int or constant should be used to declare array size not plain int.
In order to use plain datatype, you can initialize array dynamically like
vector<int> a(n); or
int a = new int[n]
int n,c[n],e[n];
This declaration creates arrays c and e on stack with random size, because n as an automatic variable is initialized with random value. Instead you need to dynamically create arrays on heap or use std::vector.
Example:
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
int main() {
// your code goes here
int n;
vector<int> v;
std::cin >> n;
v.resize( n);
for( int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
cin >> v[i];
}
for( int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
cout << v[i];
}
return 0;
}
http://ideone.com/QhgfNv
In the line of
int n,c[n],e[n];
Computer don't know the exact value of 'n', so it can't alloc memory of array.
The simplest solution is create array with fixed number, and check n after you know the value of n as follows:
int n, c[1024], e[1024];
cin >> n;
if (n > 1024) { /* error */ }
The other way is malloc memory after u know the value of n:
int n;
cin >> n;
int *c = new int[n];
int *e = new int[n];
xxxx
delete [] c;
delete [] e;
You can try something like this:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int temp = 100; /*Random value*/
int c[temp];
int e[temp];
int n;
cin>>n;
for(int i=0;i<n;i++){
cin>>c[i]>>e[i];
}
return 0;
}
Now, I chose temp as 100, but you can do big as your int can store. Now, if n is lower than temp, your for cycle will let you save your values without troubles.
