Trouble with vectors...

[InNeedOfHelp]

I'm having a problem with vectors. I have a vector of type class and that class also has a vector in it and I am having problems assigning values to the vectors, I am using VC++ ver6.0

________________________


class X{
public:
vector<Y> yVect;
}

class Y{
public:
vector<Z> zVect;
}

class Z{
public:
double x;
double y;
}

when I say something like:
xVect.at(0).yVect.(0).x = 5;

I get problems! Any help please. Thank you.

You need to make some typecast!

(( Z )((( Y )xVect.at( 0 )).yVect.( 0 ))).x = 5;

No those type casts will not help

xVect.at(0).yVect.at(0).x = 5;

You have not declared xVect in the posted source but I assume it is

vector<X> xVect;

In which case


xVect.at(0) is of type X

xVect.at(0).yVect.at(0) is of type Y

xVect.at(0).yVect.at(0).x is an error since Y has no member x and would produce a compile error

I get problems!

This is a singularly unuseful statement, if you want help then describe the problem properly.

Problems at run time or compile time? If at compile time what where the compiler output errors and warnings? If at run time what was the input data what happen/was the output data?

Sorry Banfa,

that was a mistake it should have been yVect.at(0).zVect.at(0).x = 5; there is no xVect! The problem is at run time when I try the following statement it throws an exception...

yVect.at(pos).zVect.at(pos).x = 5;

I will give the full code as it may be more descriptive.

I have 3 different classes that are linked, MaterialClass, StressClass and tempDesClass. Each instance of the MaterialClass (stored in materialDatabase vector) has numerous different stresses (represented by vector of StressClass called allowableStress) and within each stress there are numerous tempDes properties (vector of tempDesClass called tempLife) as below;

class MaterialClass : public CWnd
{
public:
.......
vector<StressClass> allowableStress;
};
static vector<MaterialClass> materialDatabase;

class StressClass : public CWnd
{
public:
........
vector<TempLifeClass> tempLife;
}

class TempLifeClass : public CWnd
{
public:
double temperature;
double lifeTime;
double tempLife;
}

The static vector materialDatabase holds the materials, which should contain stresses which in turn should contain TempLifeClass variables. I try to add the stresses like so,

void MaterialClass::addStress(StressClass stress){
materialDatabase.at(i).allowableStress.at(0) = stress;
}

but this gives an exception - in the debugger stress contains the values it should but hWnd=0x00000000 for both StressClass and CWnd which I think may be the problem? Not sure how to solve it though.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thankx

OK this

void MaterialClass::addStress(StressClass stress){
materialDatabase.at(i).allowableStress.at(0) = stress;
}
 

Looks a little strange to me. Where did i (not me I know where I came from :-) ) come from. Also although this is a member function of MaterialClass you do not access any of the class data, you access an external valiable materialDatabase. And finally you are passing stress by value but stress could be very big since it contains a vector.

Something like this would be more usual/better

void MaterialClass::addStress(StressClass &stress){
    allowableStress.at(0) = stress;
}
 
...
 
materialDatabase.at(i).addStress(stress);
 
...
 

Why are you subclassing all your classes from CWnd, does your program really have a window for every instance of all these classes?


I will leave it there, I think this is going to be a long haul program.

Banfa,
I made the changes you suggested however an exception is still thrown at the line;

allowableStress.at(0) = stress;

before this line is executed the values of allowable stress are (from debugger):

allowableStress.allocator._First = 0x00000000 {StressClass hWnd = ???}
Could this be causing the problem?

Hmmm I didn't think that change would cure your problem, it is just a better way of doing it.

You could be right about the cause of the problem, taht is way I asked why you were subclass everything from CWnd.

[InNeedOfHelp]

Sorry,
I have made my classes subclasses of generic CWnd through the class wizard - I thought that was what should be done if your class didn't require any specialised functionality (from classes like CDialog etc!?!) I am new to MFC and don't really understand it, am I totally wrong in doing that?

Here is something that works, Not sure if it solves ur problem.

#include <iostream.h>
#include <vector.h>
class Z
{
public:
double x;
double y;
};

class Y
{
public:
vector<Z> zVect;
};

class X
{
public:
vector<Y> yVect;
};

int main()
{

X xVect;
xVect.yVect.at(0).zVect.at(0).x = 5;
cout<<" done "<<endl;
return 0;
}
