Frustrating syntax problem

9 New Member
At this point in life, I thought syntax wouldn't be a problem, but it is. I'm trying to write yet another school program, but keep getting compile errors in the main function when I try to pass an array of structs to any other function. The error is operand expected instead of ",", and at this point I've managed to get it down to one error. What am I doing wrong? I've tried everything. Here are the two lines in their current form:

count(AofS[0], count&, total&);
print(AofS[0]);

Like I said this is the only error I'm getting and it's frustrating me. This program is late because of this one little problem...

You didn't post the function prototypes of these functions you are calling so this may be an incomplete answer.

1) a count& is a reference. Did you mean to pass the address of count? Like maybe it should be &count??

2) if these functions are passed an array of structs, you can just use the array name. In C++, the array name is the address of element 0. So you could pass the address of element 0 as &AofS[0] instead of using the array name.

It all comes down to the function prototype (which you didn't post) because it is there the type of the arguments is defined.

void count(frequency , int&, int&);
void print(frequency );

Those are the prototypes. Frequency is a struct in a header file.

So then you call the function this way:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. count(AofS, count, total);
  2. //or
  3. count(&AofS[0], count, total);
  4.  
Your print function only has one argument for the array. How does it know how many elements are in the array? Or does it just print one element?

I think everyone who used Python will agree that its syntax is the best thing going for it. It is very readable and easy for everyone to learn. But, Python does not a have very good macro capabilities, unfortunately. I'd like to know if it may be possible to add a powerful macro system to Python, while keeping its amazing syntax, and if it could be possible to add Pythonistic syntax to Lisp or Scheme, while keeping all of the...

Hi I have a very frustrating problem. I had a perfectly working app with a sub form on a main form. I added a few fields in tables here and there and now I can not enter data on in the sub form for some of the main form records. The sub form simply does not accept any keys. Also the drop downs drop but when I click to select nothing happens and drop down list just remains dropped. What could be the reason for this? Driving me crazy.

Hi, I have a very strange and frustrating error. I developed an application, tested it and it works fine. Then i deploy it to another machine ( no installation, direct file transfer ) but it doesn't work. I have errors like parsing the querystring differently etc.Even on firefox there are mismatches in logic. I have been trying for long to fix it, but unsuccessfully. Its very frustrating because i can see it work on my machine. Thanks

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
