my this code is throwing exception at line
resMat[i][j] = matp[i][j];
// code begins here
#include <iostream>
#define MOD 1000000007
#define LL long long
using namespace std;
int mat[6][64][64],mat2[2][2], mat4[4][4], mat8[8][8], mat16[16][16], mat32[32][32], mat64[64][64];
int **point[6];
int resMat[64][64];
void fooMatrix(int **matp, int size)
{
int i,j;
// find canFollow of all matrixes
for(i=0;i<size;++i)
{
for(j=0;j<size;++j)
{
// throwing exception here
resMat[i][j] = matp[i][j];
}
}
}
int main()
{
point[0] = (int **)mat2;
point[1] = (int **)mat4;
point[2] = (int **)mat8;
point[3] = (int **)mat16;
point[4] = (int **)mat32;
point[5] = (int **)mat64;
LL a,b,res;
scanf("%lld %lld",&a,&b);
fooMatrix(point[a-1],1<<a);
return 0;
}
i want to process on different sized matrices of int in my function fooMatrix like say store it in resMat. Help me resolve this issue.
I am using DevC++ (g++ compiler) in windows.

Answer 1

Reading from the comments and links above i learnt this :
matrix represntation [][] and pointers representation ** is different. Compiler was giving me warning.
2d matrix is not array of pointers. so look at the code below
#include <stdio.h>
#define MOD 1000000007
#define LL long long
int mat[6][64][64],mat2[2][2], mat4[4][4], mat8[8][8], mat16[16][16], mat32[32][32], mat64[64][64];
// see this is array of single pointer
int *point[6];
int resMat[64][64];
void fooMatrix(int *matp, int size)
{
int i,j;
// find canFollow of all matrixes
for(i=0;i<size;++i)
{
for(j=0;j<size;++j)
{
// this is how we would access the matrix.
resMat[i][j] = matp[i*size+j];
}
}
}
int main()
{
point[0] = &mat2[0][0];
point[1] = &mat4[0][0];
point[2] = &mat8[0][0];
point[3] = &mat16[0][0];
point[4] = &mat32[0][0];
point[5] = &mat64[0][0];
LL a,b,res;
scanf("%lld %lld",&a,&b);
fooMatrix(point[a-1],1<<a);
return 0;
}

Instead of using matrices, you will have to use dynamically allocated arrays of pointers to arrays.
You can replace the declarations at the top of the file with the following:
int** newMat(int a, int b){
int** result = new int*[a];
for(int i=0; i<a; ++i)
result[i] = new int[b];
return result;
}
int** mat2 = newMat(2,2);
int** mat4 = newMat(4,4);
int** mat8 = newMat(8,8);
int** mat16 = newMat(16,16);
int** mat32 = newMat(32,32);
int** mat64 = newMat(64,64);
int*** point = new int**[6];
int** resMat= newMat(64,64);
And then change the assignments at the top of main with:
point[0] = mat2;
point[1] = mat4;
point[2] = mat8;
point[3] = mat16;
point[4] = mat32;
point[5] = mat64;
