You can use MakeReverse to reverse a CString.
|
|
|
|
|
use this code:
TCHAR arrCharacters[1024];<br />
CString sMyString;<br />
<br />
sMyString = "hello";<br />
<br />
for (int i = sMyString.GetLength(); i >= 0; i--)<br />
arrCharacters[i] = sMyString.GetAt(i);<br />

When I used the MakeReverse I got an error saying that the = sign was invalid. If I typed m_String.MakeReverse, or m_String = m_String.MakeReverse, it just gave me back the input from the text box. I even tried making a separate CString, such as, CString String; String = m_String; String.MakeReverse; m_Answer = String; Please help. And thank you for the responses.
UpdateData(TRUE);
m_String.MakeReverse;
m_Answer += m_String;
UpdateData(FALSE);

I assume you mean
strString.MakeReverse();
this method reverses the string internally, you don't set a new string equal to it.

Right now my Serial Library works. i can read/write correctly, However i do not think I am doing it optimally and I know that I am not doing it the overlapped way. So maybe you could help me to optimize my serial read/write function so that it is done correctly. Right now i am using a for loop to read X number of bytes from the port. Problem with this method is that it will loop forever if X # of bytes are never read.
What I want to be able to do is read from the port until there is no more bytes to read. That way i dont always need to know how many bytes I need to read and the read wont block the program flow indefinitely.
Below is a sample of how i would currently read from the port:
<br />
for( Size = 0; Size < 5 ; )
{
ReadFile(hComm, &Buf, 1, &IncomingReadSize, NULL);
if(IncomingReadSize > 0)
{<br />
Size += IncomingReadSize;
packetbuf[x] = Buf;
x++;
}<br />
}
This just seems horribly inefficient to me. Anyone else think so?

I am very new to the C++ programming scene and I am kind of lost on this one and need some help. I will post the code I have so far and maybe somebody can set me straight as to what I am doing wrong. The program should use a random number to simulate the first die and a second random number to simulate a second die. Then the program should calculate the sum of those two numbers. Each die can show an interger value from 1 to 6, so the sum of the two values will vary from 2 to 12, with 7 being the most frequent sum and 2 and 12 being the least frequent sums. The program should roll the dice 36,000 times. It should use a single-subscripted array to tally the numbers of times each possible sum appears. The results should be in tabular format. This one is really throwing me so if somebody could show me the right way to do this it would be a big relief.
#include "stdafx.h"
#using <mscorlib.dll>
using namespace System;
int _tmain()
{
Random *randomNumber = new Random();
int die1,
die2;
int frequency __gc[] = new int __gc[13];
double total;
//roll dice, calculate sum and display results
int RollDice(Random *randomNumber)
{
int die1, die2, workSum;
die1 = randomNumber->Next(1, 7);
die2 = randomNumber->Next(1, 7);
workSum = die1 + die2;
Console::WriteLine(S"Player rolled {0} + {1} = {2}",
die1.ToString(), die2.ToString(), workSum.ToString() );
return workSum;
} //end function RollDice
for (int roll = 1; roll <= 36000; roll++){
die1 = randomNumber->Next(2, 13);
++frequency[die1];
die2 = randomNumber->Next(2, 13);
++frequency[die2];
} //end of loop
total = 0;
for (int i = 1; i < 13; i++)
total += frequency[i];
Console::WriteLine(S"Face\tFrequency\tPercent");
//output frequency values
for (int x = 1; x < frequency->Length; x++)
Console::WriteLine(S"{0}\t{1}\t\t{2}%", x.ToString(),
frequency[x].ToString(),
(frequency[x]/total * 100).ToString("N") );
return 0;
} //end _tmain

What's exactly the problem you are experiencing? Don't expect anyone to do your homework. Post specific questions and somebody might help.
Do you actually have the entire RollDice function defined inside the _tmain function, or was just an error while pasting the code in your post? Where is RollDice being called?

I didn't ask anybody to do it for me. What I asked for was some help in doing it the right way. Not some egomaniac full of himself who just wants to make it hard on somebody trying to learn the right way.
Anyway, I did it myself, it was less aggravation than dealing with people like you.
#include "stdafx.h"
#using <mscorlib.dll>
using namespace System;
int _tmain()
{
//initializing variables
Random *randomNumber = new Random();
int face1;
int face2;
int sum;
const int ARRAY_SIZE = 13;
int frequency__gc[ARRAY_SIZE];
double total;
//simulating the rolling of the two dice
for (int roll = 1; roll<=36000; roll++)
{
face1 = randomNumber->Next(1,7);
face2 = randomNumber->Next(1,7);
sum = face1 + face2;
++frequency__gc[sum];
}
total = 0;
for (int i= 1; i < 13; i++)
total += frequency__gc[ i ];
Console::WriteLine(S"Sum:\tFrequency:");
//output the sum and frequency values
for (int x = 2; x < ARRAY_SIZE; x++)
Console::WriteLine(S"{0}\t{1}", x.ToString(),
frequency__gc[ x ].ToString());
return 0;
}

Just to put this into context, what you did was to describe your homework assignment, along with 50+ lines of code and this phrase:
bartman1437 wrote:

That is, no indication of what exactly was your problem, what errors you were getting, or any specific question; just a general "if somebody could show me the right way to do this."
My response was precisely pointing that out, and although in a shorter way, not very different than what is said in this FAQ - What's the best way to ask a question about code, so that I get a good answer?[^]. For the record, these were my exact words:
Jose Lamas Rios wrote:

Concise and to the point. I don't think anyone would take offense to that; it wasn't my intention in any case.
After that, I nonetheless suggested you some things that, on a quick first sight, seemed wrong. I was even polite enough to allow for the possibility that the error was only at composing your post and not in the actual code:
Jose Lamas Rios wrote:

And that was it. Nothing else was in my response to your post. Granted, I didn't take the time to cut and paste your post into a source file, compile it, fix whatever errors it had, and present it back to you as working code. But I don't think I was expected to do that, was I?
So, it was a big surprise for me to read the following in your reply:
bartman1437 wrote:

You did it yourself? Good! That was the idea in the first place. As for the rest, you won't get any further response. I don't get into name calling or flame fests.
Good luck,

in my app, there are many files. when I pause, it is not inside file1.cpp, but stoped in file2.cpp.
I think this matters. if it stoped in file1.cpp I can see this variable.

Yeah, I guessed that was probably the case. It made no sense to me, and I'm sure a lot of other people, due to the nature of the post. He should comment under his current post, obviously.

Hello Graus,
Can you please provide me some suggestions regarding VC++, MFC as I want to learn more of C++ and MFC. I am already into VC++,MFC but wants to learn more so that I can help people in solving their problems. If possible, can you provide me ur MSN mail id so that when time permits I can learn from you.
Thanking you,
Regards,
Neelesh K J Jain.

There are tons of MFC articles on this site, just go to the articles section.

I answer about 20-40 questions a day. Can you imagine if I gave all those people my MSN ? But by all means, ask here and I'll be one of many people happy to help you.

buf_balance is a globel variable. when defined in file1.cpp
int buf_balance;
then i run app in debug mode. I pause the app, want to check the value of buf_balance. but I got error in my watch list.
Why can't I see this variable?
Thank you in advance.

I tried this in VC6, but it shows the value of global variables correctly...
did you pause the app or set a breakpoint? try with a breakpoint at the place you want to debug (or use DebugBreak())
also try rebuilding everything and try again

replying to your post in a separate thread above,

I think this matters. if it stoped in file1.cpp I can see this variable.
that shouldn't make a difference. I could see global variables in the watch window no matter which file the debugger is stopped in 
try restoring project settings to default in Project - Settings, C/C++ & Link tabs, settings related to debug information
(my OS is not in english, so I can't give the exact settings...)

In don't think that you gave it global scope. Did you use an extern declaration in the headerfile? Did you include the definition in file2.cpp? The reason why the debugger can't see your variable is that it does not know its definition.

Hi...
This feels like a stupid question, but does anybody know why it is better to use a loop like this to advance a pointer
int i;
BYTE *pointer; int count; int increment;
for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
pointer += increment;
}
than simply advance the pointer in a single step
pointer += increment * count;
I found this in some code which used to run in both user mode and kernel mode. I think it was written by an experienced programmer, and probably isn't a mere  ...

I can see some differences between them:
1. (increment * count) might overflow in cases in which the for loop would work without problems
2. If count is negative, the for loop won't alter the pointer; in the alternative, it will always be modified unless either increment or count is zero.
Still, even if I wanted to cover those cases, I wouldn't do it that way. Are you sure that's exactly how the code was written? Maybe if you give us some more context?

I don't think overflow is a problem. all values are well within range for all practical purposes
Jose Lamas Rios wrote:

I didn't think of that. increment can in fact be either positive or negative (intentionally, to move the pointer forward or backward) but as you say, there are better ways, like using the absolute value of count
Jose Lamas Rios wrote:

this is a part of code used to copy data from a bitmap. the pointer is the bitmap buffer, and increment is the number of bytes to move to the next line. count is used to skip certain lines.
and it was written like this
if (count != 0) {
if (count == 1) {
pointer += increment;
} else {
for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
pointer += increment;
}
}
}
I skipped the first if conditions in the original post...
they are used because count is often 0 or 1 (I think), but why use the loop?
