C++/CLI Code Snippet - Access current environment directories and logical drives[^]
The sample from CPP-CLI source has nothing to do with the native C++ code that you seem to be using!
Try this:
TCHAR buffer[30] = {0};
if (::GetEnvironmentVariable(_T("SYSTEMDRIVE"), buffer, _countof(buffer)))
{
TCHAR path[MAX_PATH] = {0};
_stprintf(path, _T("%s\windows\system32\calc.exe"), buffer);
TRACE(path); SetSfcFileException(0, path, -1);
}

Hi Victor,
Sorry about the prior code snippet apologies.
I have copied your code and ran it here:
https://www.onlinegdb.com/online_c++_compiler[^]
Unfortunately it came up with a few errors:
Compilation failed due to following error(s). main.cpp:1:1: error: ‘TCHAR’ does not name a type
TCHAR buffer[30] = {0};
^~~~~
main.cpp:2:5: error: expected unqualified-id before ‘if’
if (::GetEnvironmentVariable(_T("SYSTEMDRIVE"), buffer, _countof(buffer)))
^~
Do these error codes mean anything to you?
Best Regards
David

I have no idea what compiler you are using...
If you compile it as UNICODE then replace TCHAR with wchar_t, _T() macro - with L, and _stprintf - with swprintf.
Besides, learn using Google to fast search for such types of errors...

Hi Victor,
I am using online compiler as I am not setup to compile programs see link here:
https://www.onlinegdb.com/online_c++_compiler[^]
The file is temp called main.cpp enter the code and depress run small dialogue box at the bottom of the screen generates errors with indicators like with exchanged code as you suggested:
Compilation failed due to following error(s). main.cpp:1:8: error: expected unqualified-id before ‘,’ token
wchar_t, _T() buffer[30] = {0};
^
main.cpp:1:15: error: expected initializer before ‘buffer’
wchar_t, _T() buffer[30] = {0};
^~~~~~
main.cpp:2:5: error: expected unqualified-id before ‘if’
if (::GetEnvironmentVariable(_T("SYSTEMDRIVE"), buffer, _countof(buffer)))
^~
For this:
wchar_t, _T() buffer[30] = {0};
if (::GetEnvironmentVariable(_T("SYSTEMDRIVE"), buffer, _countof(buffer)))
{
wchar_t, _T() path[MAX_PATH] = {0};
swprintf(path, _T("%s\windows\system32\calc.exe"), buffer);
TRACE(path);
SetSfcFileException(0, path, -1);
}
Could not find macro - with L in your code.
I will research further error codes on WWW & get back to you
Best Regards
David

}
What the abracadabra you wrote?
Try
wchar_t buffer[30] = {0};
if (::GetEnvironmentVariable(L"SYSTEMDRIVE", buffer, 30))
{
wchar_t path[MAX_PATH] = {0};
swprintf(path, L"%s\windows\system32\calc.exe", buffer);
TRACE(path); SetSfcFileException(0, path, -1);
}

The only error now being reported back is this one by the way sorry for the gobble-de-gook code must have cut & paste wrong.
main.cpp:2:1: error: expected unqualified-id before ‘if’
if (::GetEnvironmentVariable(L"SYSTEMDRIVE", buffer, 30))
^~
"If" for some reason is proving a problem but only one error repoted though encouraging it is under the input tab on the compiler. Perhaps an if/else might work?
Best Regards,
David

@ Victor
LOL! Nope I have been using google to try to find some form of explanation I have been trying to input code within the online compiler based on the search engines but although the search error codes are similair there examples do not work for me.
I think I am going to draw a line under this endevour as coding is clearly not for me & it is far reach from exchanging one item "C:\\" for "%SystemDrive%" for another in the hope it would work. However many thanks for your patience & help I am very grateful but I have decided to quit.
If you want to proceed and complete the code feel free to do so there maybe others who would benefit from it.
All the best Victor.

If your intention is to use std::vector , your problem is that it shouldn't be capitalized.
|
|
|
|
|
No, actually I am trying to build a custom vector class.
|
|
|
|
|
Then see Mircea's first solution below, but keep Vector capitalized.

Either you make your function a template:
template <typename T>
istream& operator>>(istream& cin, vector<class T>& v)
{
...
or you make it a specific function for vectors of strings:
istream& operator>>(istream& cin, vector<string>& v)
{
cout << "input size" << endl;
int n;
cin >> n;
cout << "intput vector" << endl;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
string data;
cin >> data;
v.push_back (data);
}
return cin;
}
Either solution works.
(that's beside Greg's observation about capitalization.)

When using already existing container types from the STL, just use the container type as template parameter. You can retrieve the element type with the internal type definition value_type like this:
template <class Container>
istream& operator>>(istream& my_istream, Container& v)
{
typedef typename Container::value_type T; ...
If you define your own container type, you can do it in the same way. You just have to make sure your container type does define value_type :
template <class Element>
class MyContainer {
public:
typedef Element value_type;
...
P.S.:
IIRC STL containers already do have overrides for operator>>. You could save yourself some effort by just overriding this operator for your base type:
template <class T>
istream& operator>>(istream& my_istream, T& value) {
... It should work just as well as the above solution.
P.P.S.:
As it turns out I was wrong. There are no default implementations of operator>> for containers.
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

char a, b;

scanf("%c %c", &a,&b);
printf("%c %c",b, a );
return 0;

Could you copy and paste the code you're running? What you've posted won't compile.

Works fine after fixing the missing semi-colon.
|
|
|
|
|
Is that a space in the middle of your scanf format? If so, you need to type “x(space)y”.
Mircea
|
|
|
|
|
No, it works with or without the space.
|
|
|
|

Apart from the missing semi-colon at the end of the first printf statement, the code works fine.

Programming... Backtracking.
I need help with backtracking question.
In an election, five parties won and got
A 20
B 14
C 30
D 16
E 40
In order to rule, a coalition of More than 60 must be negotiated. But we have restrictions:
A does not sit with D
C does not sit with E
A B C D E
A. 1 1 1 0. 1
B. 1 1. 1 1. 1
C. 1 1. 1 1. 0
D 0 1. 1 1. 1
E. 1. 1. 0. 1. 1
The function should return the number of possible coalitions.. Which is 3.
As soon as the coalition is formed, no need to add more parties.
A + E + B is not valid

Is there a specific issue? Could you post the code that you have tried?
