copy strings program without strCopy()

20 New Member
I am doing private studies on c++ and have no tutors. Can someone help me with the following. I will write exams end of the year in c++

5. rewrite the following code correcting all problems found

void calculatevalues (const int &a, float *b, int &c)

{
d = 20.4;

if (*a =0)

*a += 1
c = a +d;

else

b= c/d ;

c= a- b +d;

}

Hint if a =4, b =0.0 and c=5 when this function is called, their values when this fucntion returns should be a=4, b=0.25 and c= 24.15

6 a The string class in the standard c++ library is a template for any type character of character representation.

write a function called copy which takes two parameters of the string type. The first parameter is the source string ( or the string to be copied) and the second parameter is the target string ( or the string that recieves the copy). This function need not return anything.

One is not allowed to use the fuction strcpy (.....)!

b show how you would use (or call) your fucntion by writting a code to cpy one string into another

please use code tag to list the coding.

  1. void calculatevalues (const int &a, float *b, int &c)
  2. {
  3. float d = 20.4;  
  4.  
  5. if (*a =0) {
  6.  
  7. *a += 1;
  8. c = a + d;
  9. } else {
  10.  
  11. b = c/d ;
  12. c = a - b + d;
  13. }
  14.  
the errors mostly were syntaxz error?

the calculation you fix it yourself or some other ppl would help you by then.

all the best.

I'm planning to develop a .NET application using C#, in order to sell it as a shareware and/or as a full package, so I'll need a good way to protect it against piracy. I know some ways to protect it (activation, serial keys, etc.), but my concern is: how can any copy protection mechanism work when you can always disassemble it and read the source code? Even if I use a native C++ DLL for my copy protection, the point where it's called from...

What is the "best" way to copy a vector of strings to an array of character strings? By "best", I mean most elegantly/tersely written, but without any sacrifice in performance. I'm writing an application using C++ and the STL for handling my data. Unfortunately, I must interact with a (vanilla) C API. I use vectors of strings (for simplicity and less memory hassle), but the function calls for this API require arrays of character...

Hello, I have encountered a strange problem and I hope you can help me to understand it. What I want to do is to pass an array of chars to a function that will split it up (on every location where a * occurs in the string). This split function should allocate a 2D array of chars and put the split results in different rows. The listing below shows how I started to work on this. To keep the program simple and help focus the program the...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
