max value of a subsequence in a given sequnce of numbers.

[begum]

in this program they want me to find the max value of a subsequence in
a given sequnce of numbers(the sequence is represented by an array) by
using templates and pointers.also i must write a main in order to
instantiate differnt objects of my class. in this program i don't want
to find the sum!!!!. please can anyone help me?

Really? Wow. So like... you have an array? Lets see it.
Show us the array, populate it as required and then print its elements
to the screen.
No templates needed, no pointers needed, no max value needed. Just
output the array.
Lets face it, if you can't do that, how are you going to manipulate its
contents in any way?
hmm?

The header <algorithmprovides a generic function:

template<class RandomAccessIterator>
void nth_element(RandomAccessIterator first,
RandomAccessIterator nth,
RandomAccessIterator last);

using std::less, but you can also supply a comparison predicate of your own:

template<class RandomAccessIterator, class Compare>
void nth_element(RandomAccessIterator first,
RandomAccessIterator nth,
RandomAccessIterator last,
Compare comp);

So, in order to find the minimum in a range [from,to), you would do:

nth_element( from, from, to );
minimum = *from;

You can vary this to find the maximum instead.

Warning: this algorithm rearranges the sequence. Make sure that you are
allowed to do that.

i wirte only one part of program. here it is;
template <class someType>
class sum{
private:
someType arr[100];
public:
void add();
void get_sequence();
}
but i cant find how to write max value.

You have not written the implementation of the above interface? Should
not get_sequence return anything as the name "get_..." implies?

Regarding the max value, how about the following interface:

template <class someType>
class sum{
private:
someType arr[100];
public:
void add();
void get_sequence();
someType max_value() const;
}

and what about pointers. this is my main problem i have to use
pointers that's why i have problems

Well, as soon as you write some code that shows us (me at least) what
you have tried then I will be happy to give you some directions on what
is wrong. Otherwise it is diffucult for us (me at least) to guess what
your problem that you describe as "problem i have to use pointers"
really is.

<smartass>
Why not just use std::vector and std::max_element ? (they *are* templates)

{
std::vector<intVec;
std::generate_n(back_inserter(Vec), 1000, rand);
std::vector<int>::const_iterator it = max_element(Vec.begin(), Vec.end());
std::cout << "The largest element is " << *it << std::endl;
}
// [ begum, do NOT turn that in! You'll get an "F"! ]
</smartass>

Instructors should be more careful with their wording and/or students should
copy/paste the assignment (and their effort, of course.).

Being a rebel, I would turn that in, and then go to the Dean and complain "he
said 'using templates', not 'write a templated class'...".

Oops, you are right: that is much better then using nth_element. I just had
forgotten about max_element.

// [ begum, do NOT turn that in! You'll get an "F"! ]

That would be either a shame (if the instructor does it to punish the
solution because it was not taught yet) or perfectly justified (if the
instructor does it to punish copying).

I would bet you, the wording of the problem was originally much clearer and
far less ambigugus.

Being a rebel, I would turn that in, and then go to the Dean and complain
"he said 'using templates', not 'write a templated class'...".

You shouldn't make it past the associate chair of the department with that
complaint.

Hello,

* <iostream.hshould be <iostream>
* <cionio.hdoes not exist in Standard C++.
Remove it, is not needed here.
* cout, cin and endl should be qualified, e.g.
std::cout.
* sumType should be someType.
* In the add() method;
- d is not defined.
- What is ("%d",&d)?
- Should you not be adding something to the sequence?
* main should return int and not void.
* You need to difine an instance of your template class
in main and use it's methods instead of just declaring
some methods there.
Hope this helps, you have to figure out what to do in add()
by reading your favourite C++ tutorial or book.

Do yourself a favour and start with the basics. The class is not a
"Sum", its a container which happens to have a private, primitive array
as its only member. Lets call it Array for the sake of sanity. Array is
not an object, it does NOT exist, its just a blueprint.
So job#1 is how do you create an instance of that Array class?

template< typename T >
class Array
{
T arr[10];
};

int main()
{
/* create an instance of Array here */

return 0;
}

If you can't do that, its no point showing you anything. Everything
else is secondary.
