If the homework was to "implement" a stack or queue then I didn't do it, I pointed him at existing implementations. It's all very trendy at the CodeProject to harp on about homework, and I agree that you shouldn't do a students work for him: But you don't have to put him in "solitary confinement". I just pointed the dude in the right direction (or as I said, possibly the wrong direction if the alleged assignment was to implement it yourself).

Not possible, technically. A queue is a FIFO data structure whereas a stack is a LIFO data structure. Since both of these are linked lists, however, it should be easy enough to implement. Consider:

class list
{
// put things in here that are common to both data structures
};
 
class queue : public list
{
};
 
class stack : public list
{
};

Problem in Printing (Laser and DotMatrix printers)

Hi all,

In my MDI application, I've written some code for print stuff [in OnPreparePrinting(..)]. It is just a single page document with max. 20 lines of text. It works fine with Laser printer. But I am getting more space between each line in Dot Matrix printer. Where am I wrong?

I am new to MFC Printing. If anyone could suggest me something, it would be more helpful.

Thanks in advance,

about " string " " vector "

I have coded a simple program, as follows:

#include < string >
#include < vector >

using namespace std;

void main ()
{

string word;
vector < string > text;

}

When it is compiled,there are 4 warnings, and I can't solve them, what's wrong?

the warnings are:

D:\C learning\trytry\bbb.cpp(32) : warning C4786: 'std::reverse_iterator,std::allocator > const *,std::basic_string,std::allocator >,std::basic_stringar_traits,std::allocator > const &,std::basic_string,std::allocator > const *,int>' : identifier was truncated to '255' characters in the debug information

there's no problem about this...

they are warnings, not errors.

compile in release mode and they won't appear anymore.

Thanks a lot!

and indeed there is another question:

void main ()
{

string word;
vector < string > text;

while ( cin >> word)
{
text.push_back( word );
}

cout << "words read are: \n";
for ( int ix = 0; ix < text.size(); ++ix)
{
cout << text[ ix ] << ' ';
}
cout << endl;

}

when run it, I should input the words into the " string word " from the keyboard, but how to terminate the input?
how to set ( cin >> word) " false " ?

Ctrl + C

otherwise, you'll have to enter a particuliar string on the input stream, and test if the user input equals to the exiting string/condition...

Another option to disable these warnings (they are irrelevant) is to go in the properties of your project and there (in the C/C++ tab) you should be able to disable them.

Re: about " string " " vector "

this also works from code :

#pragma warning(disable : 4786)

Re: about " string " " vector "

Cedric Moonen5-Apr-06 23:51

Yes but the problem there is that the warning is coming from the STL itself, so, you have to put this pragma in each file you are dealing with vectors, strings, ...
Quite annoying, so it is easier to simply disable them in the properties of your project.

Yes, but what if you don't use precompiled headers ? Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Anyway, both solutions are correct Wink | ;)

I always use a "stdstl.h" header that includes all the STL/Boost files I need, with the necessary pragmas to disable the warnings.

even precompiled headers are disabled, you can always provide the header, can't you ?

This depends on the version of VC. In VC++ 6, even with SPs, there is a bug that does not make it possible to remove these warnings.

I'd guess you’re using MSVC6. The debug format used with this version was designed before templates became so popular and can't cope with the long symbol names generated when templates are used. You can suppress then using #pragma warning(disable : 4786). I usually put it in my "stdafx.h" file.

i just created member variable for IDC_LIST (list box) using MFC class wizard.
there i declared m_LIST of type CString.

i have just started with vc+ i have no idea how these things works.

can u plz help me in adding items to list box and deleting item from list box.

AddString() is not a member of the CString[^] class.

what did you want to do with this ?
if IDC_LIST is a CListBox, it doesn't have any sense to associate it to a CString variable !!!

explain you wished algorithm for that OnAdd() method please...

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
