Dear friends,

I am new to C++ programming and I am having some difficulty using a piece of 
code I have found on the web. All it does, is sorting an array of pairs 
(a,b) in an increasing order. In the present code, the output is also pairs 
(a,b) where only the "a" elements are ordered.  My question is:  How can I 
extract from the output only the arrays of "a's" or the array of "b's" 
separately?
I would appreciate if you could help me or refer me a specific site where I 
could understand better the realated issues.

Regards,

Alberto

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>

   int chr;

   associate(double n, int c) : num(n), chr(c){};
   associate() : num(0), chr('\0'){};
};

bool operator<(const associate &x, const associate &y)
{
   return x.num < y.num;
}


ostream& operator<<(ostream &s, const associate &x)
{
   return s << "<" << x.num << ";" << x.chr << ">";
}

int main ()
{
   vector<associate>::iterator i, j, k;

   		  double *A = new double[5];
   		  int *B = new int[5];

But the question here is:

Is it the source code that should be converted to HTML format, or do the
OP want to create HTML data dynamically?

If it's the second alternative, it is enough to just insert HTML tags in
the data that is printed or written to file.

I recommend you to use a special form of polynomial interpolation, the 
"spline interpolation".
After understanding the mathematical background, it is relatively easy 
to implement a spline function into a given computer language like C or 
C++. Years ago I implemented it even in assembler for an embedded 
real-time system with very restricted hardware ressources, later in C, 
when RAM and EEPROM together with the 8/16-bit microcontroller become 
cheaper.


http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spline

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spline-Interpolation


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spline_%28mathematics%29

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spline_interpolation




If you are too lazy to implement it by your own, you could try to use 
the GSL (GNU Scientific Library).

The GNU Scientific Library (GSL) is a numerical library for C and C++ 
programmers.
It is free software under the GNU General Public License.
The library provides a wide range of mathematical routines such as 
interpolation, polynomials, random number generators, special functions 
and least-squares fitting. There are over 1000 functions in total with 
an extensive test suite.

http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/

http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/html_node/

http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/html_node/Interpolation.html




Another possibility for your purpose could be Scilab / Scicos, an "open 
source" scientific math package, IMHO written in C / C++ and its source 
code free available. You could try to extract pieces of the source code 
that you need.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scilab




To try an example with your values (points in your graph) there is a 
spline calculator, written in Java, that you could take a look at:

http://www.arndt-bruenner.de/mathe/scripts/kubspline.htm#rechner




I hope your German is better then my English   ;-)

Hi,

These links are indeed interesting about Free Software, but freeware is
something different, and isn't the subject of this discussion
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeware#Comparison_with_other_terms

For standard C++ programs, you shouldn't need anything more than Dev-cpp,
unless you are using third-party libraries

Gtk/gtkmm, I managed to use with no major problems with Dev-cpp: simply
install the libraries, configured and used pkg-config to get the adequate
compiler/linker flags, and inserted them into the project's options.

Qt, I am not very familiar with, however I believe there is an IDE included.
(QtDesigner, anyone?)

Yours,
Jonathan

You can see below website to understand freeware:

Extract from GNU:
When we speak of "free software", we're talking about freedom, not price.
(Think of "free speech", not "free beer".) Specifically, it means that a

I have a few points on a graph, and would like a C++ function that 
calculates a best fit equation such as a n degree polynomial.

Are there functions already available to do this, or any ideas how I would 
write one.
I've checked on the web but can't seem to find anything useful.

Thanks,
Pete

Hello everyone

Hope everyone is in good health.


I have recently downloaded the Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2 IDE bundled with open source 
MinGW compiler. I want to write

--Standard C++ Applications
--Qt Applications

Can you please tell me a step by step procedure, what other things(i.e; 
tools, libraries etc.) i need to write the desired applications.

I have no knowledge of open source tools/compilers/libraries (MinGW, GCC 
etc.).

Currently i am using Microsoft Visual C++, but now i want write open source 
application, therefore i want to use open source tools/compilers/libraries.

I am using Microsoft Windows XP Pro SP2.

Please help me for the above problem. Looking for your kind response.


Best Regards

Muhammad Ammar

Hi,

Sorry for the silly question, but I've not find the solution throw googling.

How can I use dll files in a Dev-C++ project. I need to use functions
declared in a dll file and I didn't found how can I do it.

Thanks in advance

You can use the Win32 API to do GUI programming, or you can use the  wxWidg=
ets library. I would strongly suggest the wxWidgets library. It makes GUI p=
rogramming quite easy with some practice. I would also suggest the  "wxDev-=
C++ IDE". It uses the wxWigets library to do form editing making GUI progra=
mming even easier.=20
Good luck!

The overhead might be expensive for an application that needs to use
system("pause") in a loop. But as a final call before hanging there,
waiting for the execution to end, you can ignore the cost. Even in a
global perspective, the inefficiency is minimal compared to applications
written in some other languages.

Indeed, in a general case, (and esp. in Unix), there are tools that are
easily used this way (and are definitely designed to).
In the case of system('pause'), however, it's really an overkill, since the
command only does something trivial to do in code (plus the overhead...)

Calling system functions isn't necessarily extra unsafe, and it isn't as
simple as being bad if the OS does some of the work.

When developing for unix, the majority of all command-line utilities are
intended for interaction with other applications. Either externally - by
letting the user piping data between the applications - or internally, by
making use of popen() to directly read the output of other applications.

It should be noted, that in an M$ world, it is practically impossible to
write a truly portable application. Why? M$ have decided to rename a large
number of standard C functions - giving them an initial '_' character in
the name.

Indeed, system('pause') is rather messy (plus it's not really portable)
I usually do a system('pause') as a quick fix in the early stages of setting
up a program, I guess I'll use cin.get() from now on :)

This would make the program so:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
  //say hello :)
  cout<<"Hello World!\n";

  //wait for user keypress
  int pressed = cin.get();

  //ignores an extra keypress
  cin.ignore();

  /*
    do some more things here
  */
}

But why should I ignore an extra character in the input, since the cin.get()
will eat the key the user pressed?
could it be a '\n' vs. '\r\n' issue ?

Hi,
I'm not sure this is the exact problem, but the code you posted isn't the
correct way to use system("pause"):
It should be inside the 'main', like so

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
  cout<<"Hello World!\n";
  system("pause");
}

why dev-cpp didn't warn you loudly, I don't know...
Also, if writing twice the same program doesn't seem to yield the same
results, I'd try to make sure the program is getting recompiled properly
(try deleting all the .exe, .o, and Makefile.win, also, try make clean
[Rebuild all in dev-ccp I think])

<Morpheus> linux, c'est une question de VI ou de MORE

(pwm and Aamynuttal, please ignore this message)Hi!I\'ve a very unique problem about execution of Cpp. I entered the code and the source was compiled without any errors. The windows application was created, but didn\'t open (or it opened for a split second and closed). I tried system(\"pause\"); the result was that an application opened, saying \"press any key to continue\", but the expected output was not there. The simple code was:#include <iostream>using namespace std;int main(){  cout<<\"Hello World!\\n\";}system(\"pause\") didn\'t print \"Hello World\". Then I tried:modifying cout<<\"Hello World!\\n\";but that, too didn\'t work.When I triedcin.get();the application started running in the desired way.Then, I had deleted that application and source file.When I again wrote the same program with cin.get(); it didn\'t work! (didn\'t open!) I\'m wondering what creates such a problem.Please Help!

 (per westermark, please ignore this message. I\'ve already sent another) Hi!I am new to programming languages. I had chosen DevCpp as a compiler. I tried to get the output of examples given in tutorials. It was successfully compiled and a Windows Application(.exe) was created in the path I selected. But when I clicked on execute or run, the application didn\'t open. I tried the \"run\" option on the Start menu. It didn\'t alert that path was incorrect, but still didn\'t open the application. I tried double-clicking also. I had tried many codes, but the application didn\'t open.I used, namespace std. and #include <iostream>. I also added the following:<#include <stdlib.h>system(\"pause\")A ms-dos window opened on this, but my codes were not executed. PLEASE HELP!With regards,Dave (Devashsish Shanker)

Hello,

Does anyone on this list know how to retrieve a list of all the host =
names that are currently in the local network, preferably using Winsock? =
I'm trying to make a little program that will allow you to connect to =
someone in your local network and send a message to them, without having =
to manually exchange IP addresses. Any info on this?

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Philip Bennefall

Are you sure that the application doesn't open and then immediately
closes?

If you want to see the output of the application, you must either run it
from the command line, or add something like:

#include <stdlib.h>

and then perform the following call before main() returns:

system("pause");

I have just started doing programming languages. I used the Dev-C 4 as a compiler. The problem is that when I clicked on execute or run, the windows application did not run. Although, the file is successfully compiled with no errorI typed a very simple program and the Windows App didn\'t open:// my second program in C  

#include 

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
  cout
