unlimited zero as output while running c++ in cpp driod - c++

for (short i = 1; i < 5; i++)
for (j = 0; j > 0; j--)
cout << i << "\t";
Anybody please answer the above code.. i am getting continuous zero why is it so please explain

First off, you need to declare the variable j somewhere. Assuming you have declared j somewhere else in the program, this program as you have written it here will actually print nothing out.
Since j is set to start at 0, and 0 is not greater than 0, the
cout<<i<<"\t";
line will never actually be run. If you could provide more of your code we may be able to answer your question better. You could try setting j to start at 1 if you want it to actually print out i.

Link to Online IDE running the program
On executing the program, there is no output.
for(short i=1;i<5;i++)
This statement declares and initializes the variable i to 1, checks if it is less than 5 and then moves on to the next statement
for(j=0;j>0;j--)
This statement initializes j to 0 (Note that j has to be declared previously), and then checks if j is greater than 0. As j isn't greater than 0, it doesn't move on to the next statement, i.e. cout<<i<<"\t"; and continues the previous loop, the loop with the variable i.
The i- loop runs 4 times, and since anything isn't actually printed to the screen, you don't get any output.

First this code won't compile as you have not defined j. After you do that, it wont print anything as j is never greater than 0.
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
for(short i=1;i<5;i++)
for(short j=0;j>0;j--)
std::cout<<i<<"\t";
return 0;
}

for (j = 0; j > 0; j--)
This is a zero iteration loop. Initializes j to 0 checks if j is greater than 0.

1) If j=0, the loop undergoes 0 iterations and hence no output.
2) If j=5, you get each of the numbers from 1 to 5 printed 5 times as output.
1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5 5

Appropriate logic for this pattern

How do I print a pattern with number of rows is equal to number of stars such that if 1 star then 1 row of 1 star, 2 star then 2 rows of 2 stars and so on, provided with good logic?
Here's the output for the logic mentioned above

using mod operator you can get proper output.Java has one important arithmetical operator you may not be familiar with, %, also known as the modulus or remainder operator. The % operator returns the remainder of two numbers. For instance 10 % 3 is 1 because 10 divided by 3 leaves a remainder of 1. You can use % just as you might use any other more common operator like + or -.
I write code in java.
Execution Steps:-
for loop for declare i value to 1.loop start with value 1 and last value 5.
for loop for declare i value to 1.in this we gave condition for j is i*i.
if j value is 1 then it print star.
if j value is not 1 then it goes to else part.
in this there are again if and else part in if part we use mod operator and if its value gives 0 value then print star otherwise goto else condition.
for(int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
for(int j = 1; j <= i * i; j++) {
if(j == 1) {
System.out.println();
System.out.print("*");
} else if(j % i == 0) {
System.out.print("*");
System.out.println();
} else {
System.out.print("*");
}
}
}

count consecutive 1's in binary

I am writing code in Hackerrank. And recently the problem said, convert decimal to base 2 and then count the max consecutive 1's in the binary number. And first I come with following solution. It works fine. But I do not understand the counting part of it, even though I wrote it.
The code is
int main(){
int n,ind=0, count=0, mmax=0;
char bin[100];
cin >> n;
while(n){
if(n%2==0) {
bin[ind]='0';
n = n / 2;
ind = ind + 1;
}
else if(n%2==1) {
bin[ind]='1';
n = n / 2;
ind = ind + 1;
}
}
for(int i=0; i<=(ind-1); i++){
if(bin[i] == '1' && bin[i+1] == '1'){
count++;
if(mmax < count)
mmax = count;
}
else
count=0;
}
cout << mmax + 1 << endl;
return 0;
}
In the above code, I guess that variable mmax will give me the max consecutive number of 1's but it gives me value that has (max consecutive - 1), So I just wrote like that and submitted the code. But I am curious about. why it is working that way. I am little bit of confused the way that code works like this.
Thanks
Lets say you have this binary sequence:
11110
Your code will compare starting from the first and second:
|11|110 1 && 1 -> max = 1
1|11|10 1 && 1 -> max = 2
11|11|0 1 && 1 -> max = 3
111|10| 1 && 0 -> max = 3
you can see, that although there are 4 1's you only do 3 comparisons, so your max will always be -1 of the actual max. You can fix this by adding mmax += 1 after your for loop.
Just a little bit of trace using small example will show why.
First, lets say there is only 1 '1' in your array.
Since you require both the current position and your next position to be '1', you will always get 0 for this case.
Let's say I have "11111". At the first '1', since next position is also '1', you increment count once. This repeats until 4th '1' and you increment your count 4 times in total so far. When you reach 5th '1', your next position is not '1', thus your count stops at 4.
In general, your method is like counting gaps between fingers, given 5 fingers, you get 4 gaps.
Side note: your code will fail for the case when there is no '1' in your array.

Integer doesn't have the expected value in debugger

Like any normal C++ programmer, when I type this code...
for (int m = 0; m < 3; m++){
for (int n = 0; n < 3; n++){
if (A[m].substr(size,location) == B[n].substr(size,location)){
return false;
}
}
}
I expect the first value of m to be 0 in my iteration. (because I literally declared it as having a value of 0) However, my program was acting a tad funky, so I decided to look at it in the debugger. Interestingly, rather than having a starting value of 0, C++ decided that m should have a starting value of 32767.
Could someone explain to my why and how this could possibly happen?
Ah, templatetypedef was right. Once I stepped over to the next breakpoint its value was initialized. Thanks guys!

Incomprehensible infinite backward loop C++

I am new to C++ and I am trying to achieve a backward for loop, I founded solutions which works very well but I want to know what my version is not correct and making an infinite loop.
Here is a working version that I founded (I don't understand how we can decrease i in the condition..) :
for (unsigned i = size ; i-- > 0 ; )
{
// do stuff with i
}
Here is a version I wrote which works but don't go down to 0 (this way seems more logical to me) :
for (unsigned i = size-1 ; i > 0 ; i--)
{
// do stuff with i
}
If I say for exemple n=10, I will get this if I print i in the loop :
9
8
7
6
5
4
3
2
1
And here is the version which for me is the more logical and should go down to zero but is providing an infinite loop.
for (unsigned i = size-1 ; i >= 0 ; i--)
{
// do stuff with i
}
Could someone explain to me why the last version isn't working and what is the best choice to make ?
An unsigned number is always >= 0. (When it reaches zero a further decrement sets it to std::numeric_limits<unsigned>::max())
So your final for loop is equivalent to
for (unsigned i = size-1 ; true ; i--)
which, of course, loops forever.
In your first loop, you have i-- > 0 as the stopping condition. When i is zero, i-- is an expression with value zero (so the loop halts), despite the fact that i is then set to std::numeric_limits<unsigned>::max(). Some folk like (me included; cue the downvotes) to write i-->0 and regard --> as the slide operator. See What is the "-->" operator in C++?
The statement i >= 0 is always true because i is unsigned which means that is never below zero. If you decrease the value while i is zero, there will occur a so-called underflow and it will have a very high number.
The first version certainly gets the job done, so I would stick to it.

Need to understand for loop better - post increment operator

I was not really clear with the post increment operator that I always used with for loops.
My latest and newly acquired understanding of post increment operator is the following:
int a = 5
int b = a++ //a will increment and return back its old value 5
so b = 5
Armed with this new knowledge i decided to understand/apply it to the places where i commonly used the post increment operator as in a for loop . Now it seems like I am lost
since I am ending up with the wrong output theoretically
Consider the following code
for(int i=0 ; i< 3 ; i++)
{
std::cout << i;
}
First loop
i starts with 0 which is less than 3 so ( increment by 1 however since its i++ it returns old value 0)
so cout should display 1 // But it displays 0
Second Loop
i is now 1 which is less than 3 so i++ is applied - Now i is 2 and returns back 1
so cout should display 2 //But it display 1
Third Loop
i is now 2 which is less than 3 so i++ is applied - Now i is 3 and returns back 2
so cout should display 3 //But it display 2
Fourth Loop
i is now 3 which is not less than 3 so loop exits
Could anyone please clear my understanding and point me in the right direction.
The output should be 0,1,2 where am i going wrong ?
What you're missing is when each of those sections of the for statement happen:
for (int i = 0 ; i < 3 ; i++)
// 111111111 22222 333
The first bit happens once before any iterations are done.
The second expression is evaluated before each potential iteration and, if false, no further iterations are done.
The third bit is done at the end of each iteration, before returning to evaluate the second bit.
Now re-read that last bullet point carefully. The i++ is done at the end of an iteration, after the cout << i. And, immediately after that, the continuation condition is checked (the second part).
So the loop is effectively the same as:
{ // Outer braces just to limit scope of i, same as for loop.
int i = 0;
while (i < 3) {
cout << i;
i++;
}
}
That's why you get 0 1 2.
The semicolons in a for loop delimit three different expressions. The value of the third expression is irrelevant to the behavior of the loop. You could replace i++ with ++i and your loop would behave the same; either way, i is incremented by 1.
To observe the behavior of the increment operators, consider the following loops:
for(int i = 0 ; i++ < 3 ; ) cout << i;
/* ^^^ Nothing here! */
Note that the third expression is empty. The output is 123—0 is skipped because the test, including increment, occurs before every iteration of the loop.
How does the postincremented loop behave compared to a similar one with the preincrement operator?
for(int i = 0 ; ++i < 3 ; ) cout << i;
Now the output is 12—3 is not printed because the conditional test sees the value 3 as soon as it is incremented to that, so the loop exits.
You just need to know that the statement int i = 0 is executed first , i.e , i takes first the value 0 , checks if the condition is true and then what the loop body is executed .
Then , i is incremented.
