Sutekh's C++ +More Thread

Thanks for the .zip, working great. As far as corner cases, ultimately I'd like to have control over them during transcription. Using your example, "Farewell cruel world..." I would like to have a tag marker for the automated count, e.g., "Farewell cruel world...[sentence]" where I deliberately manipulate the transcription to get a more accurate automated response. Ideally, [sentence] would just be a character not found in written world languages, like, "d??" ... "Farewell cruel world...d??". In this case the program would know to associate that symbol with a sentence break. Words are a lot trickier... do you count all characters? do you omit spaces? what if there are ~8 spaces in a row... (this is where the project would become very involved). I have to note every minute detail in this regard, but I'm extremely curious if a simple word/sentence counting/averaging program would aid in judging initial veracity.

For now I think words separated by a space, and a "d??" to separate sentences would be a great way to test out what, if any, correlations there are between automated and manual counting.

Thanks again Tuco, can't wait to test it out.

But if you do that you're just inventing a new programming language instead of learning the existing one you're using! It may be worth your time trying to solve those corner cases with C# instead of Sole#, but it's up to you.

Swap the value of these two variables without using a third variable

int main()
{

int a = 42;
int b = 7;

return 0;
}

void main() {
int a = 42;
int b = 7;
a += b;
b = a-b;
a -= b;
}

Code:

void main(void)
{
    int    a    =42;
    int    b    =7;

    a    =b ^ a;
    b    =a ^ b;
    a    =b ^ a;
}

Since this is in screenshots:

Sutekh is lost in the matrix. Come back to us, lion.

What's the reasoning behind void main(void)? Just readability?

Kharzette · Aug 23, 2018

I dunno! I guess I did that from habit. I think maybe back in the elder days if you left it blank it did something funny like assumed an int argument or something?

lowbrow js way to accomplish although I don't see array and scope setup being much different in other languages:
let a = 42;
let b = 7;
b = [a, a = b][0];

int main() can be called with any number of arguments, int main(void) can only be called with zero arguments. main is supposed to return 0 if it ran with no error and an error code otherwise so void main() is technically not right but it'll run of course.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;

int main() {

int a=0,b=1;
string strTemp;

cout << "enter integer a: ";
getline (cin,strTemp);
stringstream(strTemp) >> a;

cout << "enter integer b: ";
getline (cin,strTemp);
stringstream(strTemp) >> b;

cout << "a is " << a << " b is " << b << endl;

a = a ^ b;
b = a ^ b;
a = a ^ b;

cout << "after swap a is now " << a << " b is " << b << endl;
return 0;
}

uses XOR bit shifting to swap numbers, i believe there is a case where it fails when you have a very high number since you run out of bits to shift into but i don't honestly remember

Is this another "do my homework thread"?

If you don't strongly desire doing this kind of thing and figuring out answers on your own, run as far away as u can from this field of study. The textbooks/exams questions are one thing, helping clueless_PM_005 steering you wrong out of the gate is a whole nother beast.
