Define triangle class

Well, I am comming along more and more with this program, but I could still obviously use some help. I am going to put the specifications in full out here.

Define a class for triagnles. A triangle is defined by three sides. Class should have following capabilities:

A constructor that will allow definining a triangle. (float side1, float side2, float side3). The constructor is to call Order to place the sides in order from smallest to largest.

A constructo with no arguments: initialize the three sides to zero.

Public member functions needed.

void SetTriangle(float side1, float side2, float side3);
bool IsEquilateral();
bool IsIsosceles();
bool IsScalene();
bool IsRight();
bool IsAcute();
bool IsObtuse();
friend Triangle Copy(Triangle triangle1);
friend bool operator ==(const Triangle& triangle1, const Triangle& triangle2);
friend ostream& operator <<(ostream& outs, Triangle& the_triangle);

Private member functions needed.

void Order;
void Swap;

I need to write a program that will define triangle1, triangle2, triangle3, triangle4

am to define a class for triangles, and once I have defined it I need to do tese procedurse:

The constructor (with sides) is to call order to order the sides from smallest to largest.
and
The SetTriangle function is to call order to order the sides from smallest to largest

and then display the sides and the type it is... scalene and right, isosceles and acute, ....

I think I may need to give more detail. Triangle1 will not have any values defined. Triangle2 has sides 6.0, 6.0, 6.0. Triangle3: 5.0, 4.0, 3.0. Triangle4: 6.0, 4.0, 4.0

And then for Triangles 2, 4, and 4... I

1) Use friend operator function << to display the three sides of each

2) Test to see if the triangle is Equilateral, Isosceles, or Scalene. When one of the functions returns true, display message. Message should not be displayed within function.

3) Test to see if Right, Acute, Obtuse

For the copy test

1) Use the friend copy function to copy triangle 4 to triangle 1

2) Use friend operator function << to display the three sides of triangle 4 and triangle 1.

3)Use friend operator function == to see if triangle 1 is equal to triangle 4. If the two are, display " are equal", otherwise " are not equal.

For another == test, do the following

1)Use friend operator function << to display three sides of triangle2 and triangle3.

2)Use friend operator function ++ to see if triangle2 is equal to triangle3 and display appropriate message

For the SetTriangle test, do the following:

1)set Triangle3's sides to (5, 4, 3 (in that order))

2)use friend operator function << to disply the three sides of triangle3.

There are all the specifications and what not. It has been like a week... and I have only gotten as far as this Could I please get some help all around on this one. I would so much appreciate it. Please, could I get some help. I have done this much on my own, and now I have just gotten stuck and don't really have a clue as what to do.

My code is

#include <iostream.h><br />

public:<br />
	friend Triangle Copy(Triangle triangle1);<br />

OK, let me see, if i understood you correctly.

You want to use an overloaded operator << . But what you have done, is only using the normal output of an float.

The overloading would look like this:

ostream& operator<< (ostream& ostr, CTriangle& triangle)
{
   ostr << "Side1 = " << triangle.side1 << endl
        << "Side2 = " << triangle.side2 << endl
        << "Side3 = " << triangle.side3 << endl;
   return ostr;
}

The overloaded operator== looks like this:

bool operator ==(const CTriangle& tri1, const CTriangle& tri2)
{
   if (tri1.side1 == tri2.side1
       && tri1.side2 == tri2.side2 
       && tri1.side3 == tri2.side3)
      return true;
   else
      return false;
}

My personal advice:
You should divide your program into three files.
-----------------------
First file -
a file containing the declaration of the triangle class. Name this file triangle.h
!! Remember that triangle is a class, so name the class CTriangle. !!
-----------------------
Second file -
Name this file triangle.cpp

include your triangle.h by using
#include "triangle.h"

Now put all the definitions of your CTriangle class in here (for instance yout get-functions etc. and the overloaded operators). Don't forget neccessary inclusions like iostream.h

-----------------------
Third file -
name this file main.cpp

include your triangle.h by using

#include "triangle.h"
#include <iostream.h>

void main()
{
  CTriangle triangle1, triangle2(5.0, 4.0, 3.0), triangle3(6.0, 4.0, 4.0);
  cout << "Display triangle 1:\n";
  cout << triangle1 ;

  cout << "Display triangle 2:\n";
  cout << triangle2 ;

  cout << "Display triangle 3:\n";
  cout << triangle3;

  if (triangle2 == triangle3)
    cout << "identical" << endl;
  else
    cout << "not identical" << endl;
<

}

I havent compiled it, but this should work. Test it by changing the values of the triangle2 and triangle3.

Hope this helps

Floating point calculation

heres my problem

float r=10.3;
int x=10;
int z=ceil(r*x) gives me 104 . I need 103

I need output to be converted as
if product = 103.1 o/p = 104
if product = 103.0 o/p=104
if product = 103.5 o/p = 104
Basically i dont want it to take the upper no if the product can be equivalently represented by an integer
what i mean is 103.0 is actually 103
but 103.1 isnt 103

Hi
double r=10.3;
int x=10;
int z= ::ceil(r*x);
will give 103

It's most likely round off error.
internally it figures that it is 103.0000000000001 and so it rounds up to 104. Look into the IEEE format used to store floats to figure out why.

XML parsing with DOM??

hi all,

i have an XML file..where i have some data as
<keywords>
<keyword>.net
<keyword>0% credit card
<keyword>0% interest credit card
<keyword>1 800 contacts
<keyword>1 800 flower
<keyword>1-800 flower
<keyword>1-800-flowers

I want to perform a search over this XML file as if i have "1-800-flowers". I dont want it to go thru each element and then reach there..it is a slow process as it goes in loop for each keyword tag..is there any way where i can perform a fast search for the data i have..so that it is fast..i am using VC++ with MSXML..Please help me out..
Thanks a lot in advance..
regards,

Himanshu

net
0% credit card
0% interest credit card
1 800 contacts
1 800 flower
1-800 flower
1-800-flowers

all this is the data embedded between tags that have the same name
like
<MYTAG>1 800 blah 1 </MYTAG>
<MYTAG>1 800 blah 2 </MYTAG>
<MYTAG>1 800 blah 3 </MYTAG>
<MYTAG>1 800 blah 4</MYTAG>

Then I am afraid u ll have to go thru each node and find out . if the tags are unique u can do a "getElementsByTagName" defined by DOM .

Engineering is the effort !

You could use XPath (Xalan). Not sure how compatible it is with MSXML. I use Xerces to parse XML.

using namespace std

Could you tell me what is its meaning?

Anand Paranjpe9-Oct-03 20:15

9-Oct-03 20:15

Hi,

"using namespace std;" means in ur program u r using namespace called as "std" provided by microsoft. all STL functionality u will get under this namespace.
Why we use namespaces? Smile | :)

To avoid name collision.
Compiler tries to interpret objects or function calls user namespace if specified else searches in global namespace by default.

More info is given in MSDN. Smile | :)

Mutexes and Critical Sections are logically the same, but critical sections are cheaper/faster in exchange for only working within the same process.

Semaphores are counters, they have a value that can be incremented and decremented.
