http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_average[^]

This program calculates Harmonic avarage in my opinion, but as i understand its not exactly corect. If i would need to make this from tousands numbers would this " b=b+1.0000000/a[i]; " be the same value as it should be or its just a bit diferent.

/* 2. Write a program which reads 10 numbers, and computes the harmonic average
*/

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
double a[10];
double b;
b=0;
for(int i=0;i<10;i++){
cin >>a[i];
b=b+1.0000000/a[i];
}
cout <<b/10;
}

I just started, all my knowlage is just pascal Smile | :)

...
This should work, but it prints Nan instead of "too few numbers" when i enter n=0 or aall a values are negative...

/* 1. Write a program which reads a number, n, and then n numbers of type double, i.e.,
input data are
n x1 x2 x3 : : : xn
The program should write out the average of the positive x-values. If the number of
positive values is less than 1, the text \too few numbers" should be written.
*/

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int n;
double a[n];
for(int i=0;i<n;i++){
cin >> a[i];
}
double sum;
int kiek;
for(int i=0;i<n;i++) {
if (a[i]>0) {
sum=sum+a[i];
kiek=kiek+1;
}
}
if (kiek<1)
cout << "too few numbers";
else
cout<< sum/kiek;
return 0;
}

This even compiles? You cannot allocate memory dynamically on the stack (the value n should be a constant and "known").

Actually, you can. See here[^].

I'm sure he knows that. His sentence is bound to the context, i.e. "you cannot allocate memory dynamically on the stack that way"

Yea i have writed
(...
int n;
cin >>n;
double a[n];
...)
earlyer, but didnt saved Smile | :)

, now this works fine:

int main() {
int n;
cin >>n;
double a[n];
for(int i=0;i<n;i++){
cin >> a[i];
}
double sum;
int kiek;
kiek=0;
sum=0;
for(int i=0;i<n;i++) {
if (a[i]>0) {
sum=sum+a[i];
kiek=kiek+1;
}
}
if (kiek<1)
cout << "too few numbers";
else
cout<< sum/kiek;
return 0;
}

did i need to enter kiek and sum begining values, and if i leave them with no beginning values they are 0 or 1 ? Smile | :)

Why didn't you answer Rajesh's question?
How can the following code

zutautas wrote:
int n;
cin >>n;
double a[n];

compile?

zutautas25-Jul-09 6:53

25-Jul-09 6:53

its a part from all code...
...
int n;
cin >>n;
double a[n];
...
i dont know how you showing just few lines instead of all text, but i do it this way Smile | :)

I show few lines that should NOT compile. I wonder why your compiler doesn't complain.

Junk characters appearing after writing buffer to file

My comment was in context with what the OP was trying to do there -- I had put the context within parenthesis in my previous post.

Hi everyone i m facing one problem while writing buffer into a file.
Actually i m using Ramanan T's NTFS undelete code for reading MFT table for files in
NTFS file system of a partition.
Undelete a file in NTFS

I m getting junk characters for small headers files of visual studio.Its reading all other formatted files like .doc,.xls or JPEG,.bmp etc properly.Even large sized cpp files also reading properly.i m reading 4kb ie one cluster at a time.

Here is the code where i m getting the junk characters.

class CErrorLog
{
public:
CErrorLog(void);
public:
Í ErrorLog(void);

WCHAR wcErrLogPath[QP_MAX_PATH];
}

I m not able to find out why that junk is coming in between for some files only

Thankx in advance for any help.....

Hi,

I have not looked at the source code at the link you provided. However I know from experience that small files under 1kb are not stored on a disk cluster on an NTFS disk. On a disk with a 4kb cluster size it would waste 3+ kilobytes. They are instead stored directly in the $MFT FRS segment. Check the source code and see if the author added special code for this sitation.

You should not trust that all source code you find on the internet is written correctly to handle all sitations.

Best Wishes,

ya David ur absolutely right that i should not depend completely on the code,but as you had asked that is there is any special provision made in this code to handle Resident files which are stored in $MFT FRS.Yes there is but still same problem is coming.Out of 100 only 2 or 3 files are being getting corrupted.Actually i dont know how to read MFT table through data runs (by using VCN's & LCN's) thats why i m using that code .If u have any idea about reading MFT table please let me know ...........

I can pass that array to COM object in C# samples correctly, but when i pass it in C# webservice i get exception.

Can enyone help me?
Is there any limitation for WebServices in using COM objects

See GetProcessTimes()[^]

What memory usage? The working set? If yes, then see GetProcessWorkingSetSize()[^].
