 Posted: Wed Apr 01, 2009 1:53 pm Post subject: [C++] Creating Arrays of Structures |
 |
|
I'm a little confused as to how to pass arrays as parameters in functions.
Here's what i've got so far(This code compiles fine, i haven't set up arrays yet seeing as i can never get it to compile correctly.)
| Code: |
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
struct student{
string name;
int age;
short ID;
};
string set_name();
int set_age();
short login();
int myInt;
int choice;
string myStr;
short myShort;
int main(){
student stud;
student* stu;
stu=&stud;
for(int x=0; x<25; x++){
cout<<"\nWould you like to create a new account, or login to an old one?"<<endl;
cout<<"\nCreate = 1, Login = 2"<<endl;
cin>>choice;
if(choice==1)
{
stu->name = set_name();
stu->age = set_age();
cout<<"\nPlease enter your desired ID# ";
cin>>stu->ID;
cout<<"\nYour user ID is: "<<stu->ID;
x++;
}
if(choice==2)
{
login();
if(login()==stu->ID){
cout<<"\nCongrats you have logged in";
cout<<"\nYour info is as follows: "<<endl;
cout<<"\nName: "<<stu->name<<endl;
cout<<"Age : "<<stu->age<<endl;
cout<<"ID : "<<stu->ID<<endl;
}
else
cout<<"\nIncorrect login ID";
}
}
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
int set_age(){
cout<<"\nPlease enter your age ";
cin>>myInt;
return(myInt);
}
short login(){
cout<<"\nPlease enter your ID# ";
cin>>myShort;
return(myShort);
}
string set_name(){
cout<<"\nPlease enter your name ";
cin>>myStr;
return(myStr);
}

Any help as to how i would make an array of the structures, and be able to store multiple sets of data would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not reading your code.
Anyway,
When arrays are defined, they are basically pointers, and the number inside the brackets is the the allocation it will receive. (sizeof(type)*number)
If you want to pass an array, all you have to put in the parameters of the prototype is a reference to the array, and since arrays are already referenced (aka pointers) you can just do something like this:
| Code: |
void SetBuffer(int *buff, int iToSet)
{
for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
buff[i] = iToSet;
}
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
int buffer[4];
SetBuffer(buffer,6);
printf("[0]: %i\n[1]: %i\n[2]: %i\n[3]: %i",buffer[0],buffer[1],buffer[2],buffer[3]);
Sleep(10000);
return 0;
}
|
Something like that would work.
**EDIT:
Didn't see the other question..
You can make arrays a number of ways...
| Code: |
student *stu;
stu = (student*)malloc(15 * sizeof(student));
free(stu); //remember to free when done, or you will get memory leaks

when i read array of structures, do you mean lists on C?
if then, i have made this for school as a homework long time ago
| Code: |
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <conio.h>
typedef struct nodo {
int numero;
char letra;
struct nodo *proximo;
}NODO;
NODO *primero = NULL;
int empty(nodo *primero){
if (primero == NULL)
return TRUE;
else
return FALSE;
}
nodo *insert(nodo *primero,int num,char let){
nodo *nuevo, *aux;
nuevo=(nodo*)malloc(sizeof(nodo));
nuevo->numero=num;
nuevo->letra=let;
if(primero == NULL){
nuevo->proximo=primero;
primero=nuevo;
}
else{
aux=primero;
while(aux->proximo != NULL)
aux=aux->proximo;
aux->proximo=nuevo;
nuevo->proximo=NULL;
}
return (primero);
}
... |
and in the main when it ask for number and letter
| Code: |
printf("Numero a agregar a lista: ");
scanf("%d",&numeroinput);
printf("Letra a agregar a lista: ");
scanf("%s",&letrainput);
primero=insert(primero, numeroinput, letrainput);
|
this will create something liek this (where A represent a struct and where -> represent this points to)
A->A->A->A->A->NULL

If you are using C++, I would recommend you use the STL Containers. They are pretty efficient speed wise, just mind the bloat that can occur if you don't use them properly (as with everything template'd). |
