I need help doing Proper Case and PaTeRn CaSe on this array of characters. I figured out how to convert the string from uppercase to lower case and lowercase to uppercase, but I am not sure how to target individual elements of the array when the data type of the function is a character pointer.#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <array>
#include <iterator>
using namespace std;
int getLength(char *);
void toUpper(char *);
void toLower(char *);
void toProper(char *);
void toPattern(char *);
int main()
{
char name[80];
cout << "Enter a name :";
cin >> name;
int r= getLength(name);
cout << "The length of string is :" << r;
toUpper(name);
cout << "\nThe string in Capital Letters is: " << name;
// Arbitrary element processing on the container.
toLower(name);
cout << "\nThe string in Lower Case Letters is: " << name;
toProper(name);
cout << "\nThe string in Proper Case Letters is: " << name;
toPattern(name);
cout << "\nThe string in Pattern Case Letters is: " << name;
}
void toUpper(char *p)
{
while (*p)
{
*p = (*p>='a' && *p<='z') ? *p=*p-32 : *p;
p++;
}
}
int getLength(char *p)
{
int ctr=0;
while (*p)
{
//cout << *p << " " ;
ctr++;
p++;
}
return ctr;
}
void toLower(char *p)
{
// write code to convert to small cases
while (*p)
{
*p = (*p>='A' && *p<='Z') ? *p=*p+32 : *p;
p++;
}
}
void toProper(char *p)
{
}
void toPattern(char *p)
{
}

>>54297489
"C strings"
"Raw pointers"
It always gets me when they say stuff like that.
sorry for the really dumb question.
On objects/classes, if you initialize an object in the main part of your program with say 2 variables but within the class of that object 2 other variables are created with the first 2, the object is actually pointing at all 4 variables right not just the first 2 you initialized with?
does this make sense?

No, it's self-important C-fags who pretend it's assembler++.

C is a portable assembler that is almost as good as Java's glorious JVM
>>54297521
It just depends on what your constructor is initializing. If you leave it to the compiler it won't properly initialize them.

lmfao it's the year 2016 you should be able to run eclipse on a software development machine
and i bet you can do a decent amount of things in vim because it's borderline an IDE just that you call it a text editor
and like for android you have LogCat and many other tools specifically for android in the IDE
>>54297965
You're joking, right?
>>54297986
No. Whatever monospaced font you're using in your web browse makes it look bad. Allman braces are just fine in your editor with appropriate 9-point font.
Any way to programatically overclock my hard drive?
>>54297886
Well the variables of the object are whatever is declared in the object. Initialization is what the constructor handles when the object is created.
>>54297996
it looks like shit regardless of the font
>>54298026
Only K&R Ctards say that. Whitesmiths and GNU are the truly disgusting brace styles.
>>54297996
My browser and editor use the same font. How could you assume it to be my font when I'm saying it looks bad? It literally is a complete waste of space. Christ. If you just said "It's good, I like it" I'd understand more than you're retarded "It's definitely your font"

>>54298007
>overclock my hard drive
What meme is this?
>>54297862
Okay, your code had the wrong date type in the toLower() and toUpper() functions. I changed it to just plain p and now it works. Thanks.
>>54298040
1TBS master race
>>54297948
>>54297948
It's because I left the * in the calls to toUpper and toLower.
Should be toUpper(p); rather than toUpper(*p);
Then it compiles but you need to use cin.ignore to get the full name (as well as some mistakes I did that you could correct yourself).
>>54297891
It's what I was taught when learning Java and it's how I've been doing things since.
>>54297443
I'm actually really curious, did someone from /g/ makes this?
>>54298077
Yeah I already changed that and it works fine.Enter a name :Pajeet
The length of string is :6
The string in Capital Letters is: PAJEET
The string in Lower Case Letters is: pajeet
The string in Proper Case Letters is: Pajeet
The string in Pattern Case Letters is: pAjEeT
Process returned 0 (0x0) execution time : 9.703 s

>>54298120
But it doesn't work with a space.
I'm trying to change that usingcin >> name;
cin.ignore(256, '\n');
getline(cin, name);
but getline doesn't accept a character array.
You'll need to use an equivalent (which I'm too lazy to look up right now).
Hi guys my friend Pajeet from class invited me over to his house where his family are all software developers and asked me if I would like to make mobile games with them and we are a team of 12 guys.

Get everything in writing, EVERYTHING.
In C, does anyone know how can i convert an octal number to int?
maybe sscanf?
example:int array[012] // 012 is in octal which is 10 in base 2
// converted to int becomesint array[10]
>>54298274
even by your logic that is still a lot of programming power
>>54298296
Your octal numbers are integer literals?
haha good luck m8

https://ideone.com/UeDXfG
>>54298319
Is this why all the old people computer scams are based in India?
>>54298296
I don't understand your question.
Are you trying to convert a string which contains an octal number or something?
If you're talking about numbers in your source code, all of the integer literals are already ints regardless. You just chose to represent them differently.

indians don't give a shit about anyone, and they most certainly don't give a shit about invading other countries and displacing their workers by working for literal scraps

>>54298343
basically i'm writing a mini compiler and when reading the file, the size of an array might be in octal, so i want to print the array size in int not octal
>>54298296
If your octal numbers are represented as integer literals in your code, you need to convert them to a string and then convert the string representation of the octal number to an integer.
>>54298376
yes! this is what i'm looking for!
how do i do it?
>>54298365
lol they're gonna cut you off and take your name off the project the moment your app reaches $100 a day in revenue.
>>54298371
>so i want to print the array size in int not octal
"print in int" doesn't mean anything. Do you mean print in decimal (base 10)?
>>54298365
you could hire 100 indians and you wouldn't have to share profits with them
>>54298398
yes i meant that
>>54298397
>>54298400
That would cost too much I have it for free
>>54298393
something like
char buff[20];
sprintf(buff, "%d", octal_value);
int val = convert_oct_to_int(buff);
as for convert_oct_to_int() you figure it out.
google can easily tell you how to convert a number from one base to another

clearly, the index that holds the "about you" string is an unsigned char that only goes up to 255.

divide them into teams of 5 and have them make one mobile game every two weeks, giving them enough time to really polish each game. 50 of the pajeets would be an idea committee, made up by 5 teams of 10 idea subcommittees, 10 more pajeets would be an approval committee for ideas, and there would be a design committee of 50 more pajeets. 1,000 pajeets would be for QA.

That's still going up to 255 starting from 0.
>>54299008
0 to 255 is 256 indices, giving room for 256 bytes you stupid fuck.
What you're saying in >>54298919 is technically correct however it's got absolutely nothing to do with why he said to do it in 255 bytes or less.
The reason is because of the null terminator, not the size of the index.

Hey guys,
I'm kind of interested in doing competitive programming, just for fun. There are a lot of websites that let you practice problems and participate in online competitions, but there are quite a lot of them out there.
>topcoder
>codeforces
>hackerrank
>many others
For you guys who participate in these competitions, what is your favorite website to use for competitions and practice?
I know that there are a lot of problem-only sites, like project euler and such, but I'm interested in something that allows me to do online competitions.
Currently working on a C# project that buys something automatically without needing other userinformation than the input in the program itself.
So far I've been successfull in implementing selenium using chrome as the webdriver.
But I need it to check every 2 seconds if the html has been updated, can this be done with the HTML agility pack? Does anyone know?

Since it's competition the most popular sites are going to be the best. Codeforces and topcoder are two of the most competitive.

>>54299204
I do work on my own projects, but it sounds fun to do short, purely algorithmic puzzles in a competition from time to time.
>>54299147
What's the point of a competition? Do you need to solve the problem before everyone else does? Does your program need to run faster than everyone else's? Are your submissions graded on some esoteric code style guidelines?
newbie here, how do i get the first digit of an int in Cint test = 45651;

>>54299240
Generally, you have a set amount of time to solve a problem. Your "score" usually depends on how fast your solution runs and how many test cases it passes, and code style doesn't matter.

because Microsoft didnt write C++ and doesnt make money off of it. They would get no advantage of shipping a competing language's compiler.

They let you graduate with just algebra 1? Grab a text book. You need a good handle on algebra to be a good programmer. Don't listen to the memer who say you need more.
>>54299447
>real math or engineering
Not him, but what does this mean?
Math for engineering fields is just calculus and some related diff. eq stuff. At the undergrad level, it's just rote memorization.
CS Math (aka discrete, combinatorics, graph theory, algorithms, etc) are actually fun, and give you cool new insights.
Your "real math" is pajeet-tier memorization nonsense that is only taught or studied for its practical applications. It has no inherent mathematical value. Any moron can memorize integration techniques and ordinary differential equation forms.

Yeah, but of the remaining applications, why are so few written in Java?
>>54299545
Are you retarded?
>>54299533
I occasionally run into applications that use Java, although it's rare and not very pleasing. I honestly think Java is only acceptable if you're trying to be portable to Android. If you're making a GUI application, use Qt or WinForms (I think? Not familiar with windows), if you're making a game, use C++, Java is too slow for modern games.
So yeah, Java is sort of dying for desktop applications. It's still used in a heck of a lot of places, probably things like servers and whatnot. I don't really know.

What constitutes a good handle of algebra?
Point slope, graphing part and factorizations?
Because i've never used that stuff.
>>54299595
Java is great for modern games plenty of successful games made with Libgdx.
What is floor and ceiling used for?
>>54299606
That's true, but there's no fun in that.
There is certainly value in being able to correctly implement database applications or CRUD android apps, but doing a lot of that will quickly burn you out and turn you off from programming.
Cool math is where it's at.

>>54299649
Cool math is usually very difficult and requires extreme willpower and effort to understand which is not worth the time learning it. Instead if you want to program you are better off spending time becoming really good at logic and then starting making small projects which you learn the most from programming

>>54299673
>Cool math is usually very difficult and requires extreme willpower
not really. for example, most people know that the area of a triangle is 1/2 base * height. that's applied math. real math is figuring out why its 1/2 and not some other number, like 1/3. and no, you dont need integrals or anything complicated like that.

What? For me, only some CS courses require calc, but they all require discrete maths at least, some of the higher ones need linear algebra and whatnot. I'm thinking if he takes the classes that are prereqs for his CS classes, he will be fine.

I'm ECE. We had to take two years of CS math (discrete logic, combinatorics, graph theory, set theory, algorithmic analysis), Calc I, II, and III, LA, Stochatics, and DE. Plus we learned about Fourier and Laplace transforms in Signal Processing and AC Circuit analysis.
There is no way you aren't a second year, algorithmic analysis usually requires a lot of calculus and stats, neither which you mentioned.
>>54299621
Depends upon the problem. It's not that algebra itself is necessary, butyou need algebra to study the higher-level CS maths. Even if you don't "study" them you'll use them day-to-day as a programmer. If you don't have a grasp of algebra you won't know where to start when it comes to such problems. I guess my recommendation is to learn as you go. Just wikipedia or ask someone if you don't know something.

>>54299708
what's the highest math you've taken? calculus 1?
math is very complex and filled with nuances and rules
it not only requires base hard knowledge but also logical understanding of how to fit functions together to effectively model whatever it is you're doing
>>54299774
Is that for your CS program? Sounds good. I only have to take up to calc III and three other maths. I'm glad your university keeps retards from getting CS degrees.
>>54299774
Depends on program for me I only had to take Discrete Math you will have to take some kind of applied computing math course. You can't avoid math for computer degrees
>>54299777
>math is very complex and filled with nuances and rules
exactly, thank you based anon for saying what no one else seems to be able
there is ALWAYS more math, and it only gets more and more interesting as you go deeper
>>54299732
they are pretty simple if you think about it creatively, just most people are conditioned to hate thinking about numbers by a terrible mathematics education system. for example i bet you gave the triangle problem no more than 5 seconds thought.
>>54299759

Quick pajeet (Java) question:class MyClass {

}
class MyClass {
int x;
public MyClass() {
x = 10;
}

What's the difference?
>>54299814
They are not simple and known to be difficult to do

What's that at your Uni? Vector and Multivariable Calc for me. Hell on Earth.
Is there a crash course for linear algebra somewhere?
my opengl book assumes i know it already.
>>54299811
>there is ALWAYS more math, and it only gets more and more interesting as you go deeper
Most math is of interest only to mathematicians. I'm not saying it's not cool, it's just not entirely relevant to everyone else.
>>54299829
The constructor initializes x to 10 in the second MyClass but they are equal
>>54299836
i gave you an example of a very simple one. like all things, some math questions are harder than others but many are very easy and have interesting solutions
>>54299719
The documentation was like 30 pages but essentially it was a program that had to create and manage a database using c++ with specific functionality. The biggest emphasis was on style more than anything. Trust me anon, it's boring unless you want to practice your professionalism.
>>54299814
I'm not trying to be condescending here, but I think that because you have yet to be exposed to difficult math, you don't understand how far the rabbit hole really goes. There are mathematical proofs you will have to do that are beyond your current imagination.
>>54299852
>>54299874
Alright, thanks.
>>54299853
The syllabus lists these topics: Vector functions, partial derivatives, multiple integrals, vector calculus
>>54299869
true most things were discovered out of pure interest first and applications were only realized later when other folks drew parallels to real life. thats what the applied mathematicians are for and they are based people ill tell you that.
imaginary numbers are a meme
>>54299962
This.
I don't understand how a grown adult could look at his body of work, refuse to admit that it's all wrong and just duct taped some shit about "imaginary" numbers to save face.
I bet hawking radiation is the same deal.
>>54299936
Yeah, the last bit is killer. Luckily the rest was easy. Did kind of struggle with the 3D shit at the beginning, hard to visualize. Power series in Calc II didn't bode well with me either. It would have been easier if they didn't try to stuff both of those things into the last two weeks of class.
>>54299962
lol ur dumb 4 reaLZ XD
>>54299937
I guess. They do love their ivory tower, though. At the very least, unlike other ""research-only"" degrees, they're smart enough not to turn into commies.
That's a pretty common problem for people that spend too much time in academia.
>>54299994
Completely agree about the series at the end of calc II. Everything else was fine but that. The first time I took it (in HS, I didn't fail and then retake lol) we did Taylor series first, but at uni we talked about it for half a class.
>>54299750
Fourth year, I took finished all my calculus and stats a long time ago.
I wouldn't consider calculus to be CS math at all (even though it's required for the degree), because it's so far removed from the actual subject matter. You're right that it is is needed for ECE, but has no place in CS. Statistics are better than calculus IMO, but still fall outside the realm of what should be considered CS, unless you are interested in machine learning.
Only a few, extremely specific subfields of algorithm analysis require more calculus and stats that what should be common sense.

There is literally nothing wrong with being a commie without them there would be no free software. Checkmate all of fucking /g/
>>54299936
why do you think that anon? i love absurd mathematical solutions. especially those generated by a computer that no human could possibly decipher. i just think most people's possible love for mathematics was destroyed somewhere between memorizing multiplication tables and "solve for x," and "integrate by y". there's a whole world of math that most people are never exposed too.
>>54300087

Usually I don't have limits with regards to jokes, but this is something I think is sacred. Hundreds of millions of people have died directly as a result of communism and socialism. There is no other human creation near as deadly.

Also, I'm filtering you, because you're exceedingly stupid.

you sound like a politician who rehearsed this line. there's no way you actually believe that jokes about communism of all things cross the line. jokes about tabs vs spaces, though? that's going too far.
>>54300014
Seems like they should go back to the trivium model: year-long math and literature/philosophy courses every year that build upon where that particular class left off in the previous class. Obviously it would be split up by school: Engineering, Computer Science, Business, Art, etc. and would focus on skills in those areas.
>>54300076
We went through part of the TAOCP Vol. 1 for our Advanced Data and Algo class. The first real example in that book uses fucking series. There is no way you sincerely believe that.

even though you're just joking, even perfect communism is really miserable
imagine everyone having the same resources. Imagine trying to get more of those resources (like bread) and getting murdered by whatever government is enforcing the communism (which is necessary since people don't naturally share things selflessly)
all of those nice products you like to use like a good computer or peanut butter don't really exist in communist worlds

it's an incomplete definition -- you can create classB's but not access anything in them (but you can use functions that are friends of them if you have access to those functions)
This is entirely a guess based on incomplete struct declarations in C
