I had an assignment of fractions in which the user sends input as a/b, but the a and b were simple integers and not negative or floats and extracting them was easy using if else statements
But right now I'm making a complex number (calculator type) program. And I'm actually taking a string in form of a + bi (where a and b can integer or float or both).
I'm having difficulty how to go about without using a lot of extra lines.
Edited: My question was actually how to extract 'Real & Imaginary Part' from a + bi.
e.g. Input: 3.45 - 9.87 i and get float Real = 3.45 and float Imaginary = 9.87 out
I'm working in c++ and using visual studio

the iostreams library provides nicely overloaded operators, you can read the components of the expression roughly like this:
string s = "3.45 - 9.87 i";
istringstream ist( s );
double re, im;
char op, ki;
ist >> re >> op >> im >> ki;
// op == '-'
// ki == 'i'
complex<double> a( re, op == '-' ? -im : im );
From there it should be easy to support more flexible expressions as well.

Given a string output it in a specific way using recursion? [closed]

Given a string we have to output the string in a special way.
• If the string consists of one char, we output that char normally.
• Otherwise, we divide the string into two equal parts (if the number of letters in the substr is odd, the second part of the substr will be one letter longer than the first), and we output the first part twice and then the second part (according to the same rules).
For example, let's assume that we want to output the string YOGURT. We divide that string into two equal parts: YOG and URT.
How will we output the substr YOG? Again, it will be divided into two parts - Y and OG. The substr Y we output normally (but in the output of the substr YOG we will do it twice), and the substr OG we output as OOG. So the substr YOG we output as YYOOG.
Analogously, the substr URT is going to give the output UURRT. So the string YOGURT is going to be output as YYOOGYYOOGUURRT.
Length of the string can at max be 10000.
Now I tried using a non recursion way to solve this problem but it was way to slow so I have come to an conclusion I have to do this with recursion. And since I don't have that much experience with recursion I would really need some help.
This is very naturally implemented with recursion like so:
void print(std::string_view s) {
if (s.size() <= 1) std::cout << s;
else {
auto m = s.size() / 2;
print(s.substr(0, m));
print(s.substr(0, m));
print(s.substr(m));
}
}

I was trying to make a C++ program to calculate value of Pi up to 'n' decimal places using the Leibniz formula.
The number 'n' would be entered by the user.
I was successful in creating the Leibniz formula but I am having trouble with the latter part i.e value precise up to 'n' places.
The trouble :-
As more and more terms will continue to add to it, it's digits will keep on changing so how to tell if a particular digit has stopped changing despite the addition of more terms.
The code written so far :-
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
float s=0;
int w=-1;
for(float i=1;;i=i+2)
{
w=w*(-1);
s=s+w*(1/i);
cout<<s<<endl;
}
return 0;
}
It would be great if things would be kept simple since I am just a beginner at C++.
Thank you very much :)
Since you want to compute Pi up to arbitrary nth digit, you want a library for working with big float numbers; see
C++ library for big float numbers
the real trouble is that Leibniz formula is not useful in the context. The actual precision achieved can be estimated as the last term in the formula
Pi / 4 = 1/1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + ... + (-1)**(n + 1) * 1 / (2 * n - 1) + ...
If, for intance, you want Pi up to 100th digit it means that the residual (and the last term) should be less than 1e-100:
1 / (2 * n - 1) < 1e-100
2 * n - 1 > 1e100
n > 5e99
And as you can see 5e99 loops is by far too much for the modern (super-)computers

I hope you guys all are having a great day!
I have a quick question about using the while loop for competitive programming (we do not know the size of the input, so we have to read until the end of file or 0 value)
For this particular program, the program end with 2 values of 0 as "0 0", and the code I saw used this:
while (cin >> r >> n, r || n) {
// code
}
My question is about the >>> , r || n <<<< part:
Is the while loop as the same meaning as
while ( (cin >> r >> n) || (r || n) )
can I have some preferences to read more about the multi conditions for the while loop.
Please regard my dump question :( Tks you all for reading this post!
Basically.... comma has the lowest precedence and is left-associative.
Given A , B
A is evaluated
The result of A is ignored
B is evaluated
The result of B is returned as the result.
Further Reading : https://stackoverflow.com/a/19198977/3153883
So in your case, cin loads r and n. The return value from that operation is ignored. r or n happens and is the result of the whole while expression. So, a 0 0 will cause the while loop to terminate.

char *s = "1234560000000000078999";
unsigned int ss = strlen(s);
vector<int> num;
unsigned int i;
for (i=0;i<ss;i+=2)
{
num.push_back((s[i] - '0')*10 + (s[i+1] - '0'));
}
i'm trying to condense a string that only contains numbers and store it in a int vector
the idea is to take each couple of numbers int the string and combain them into one integer
the problem i had is with numbers that start with zero , for example 1107 only gets stored as 117 and 1100 as 110
the other problem i had is with even numbers ;
any sultions please
thank you
1107 does, indeed, get stored as 11 and 07. When you display the values, show two digits or you won't see the leading 0 on the 07. Same thing with 1100.
As to even numbers, yes, you have to look more carefully at the number of digits that you're dealing with. If ss is odd, start out by just storing the first digit. Then process the rest in pairs. So 117 would be stored as, essentially, 01 and 17.

I'm trying to convert the individual contents of a string to integers. I need to take each character from the string and convert it to an integer to add to another. This is not using C++11. Is there a simple way to do it?
if the characters are numbers then the numeral value of each is
num_value(c) = c - '0'
This is only possible because the characters representing numbers are in order in the ASCII table.. All you have to do is loop across the string.
"I need to take each character from the string and convert it to an integer to add to another"
In case you want to calculate the sum of digits stored in std::string object, you could do:
std::string myNum("567632");
int sum = 0;
for (size_t i = 0; i < myNum.size(); ++i)
sum += (myNum[i] - '0');
std::cout << sum;
which outputs 29 (i.e. 5 + 6 + 7 + 6 + 3 + 2)
How about std::accumulate ?
#include<string>
#include<algorithm>
//...
std::string myNum("123456789");
std::cout<<accumulate( myNum.begin(), myNum.end(), 0,
[](int sum,const char& x){return sum+=x-'0'; });
