I have worked on this code for two days. I made several changes but can't seem to find the right combination. This is my first programming class. What is wrong with this one?

//prompt the user to enter 16 real numbers,
//one at a time. The numbers will be stored
//into a two dimensional array. This program
//will calculate the sum of each row, sum of

#include <iostream.h>
class twod
{
public:
int sumr;
int a[4][4];
int read (int a[4][4]);
int sor (int a[4][4]);
int soc (int a[4][4]);
int somd (int a[4][4]);
private:
void print(int sumr, int sumc, int d);
// call the functions
read(int a);
sumr = sor(int a[4][4]);
sumc = soc(a);
d = somd(a);
print (int sumr, int sumc, int d);
return 0;
};
int twod::read(int a[4][4])
{
int i, j;
{
for (i=0; i<=3; ++i)
{
for (j=0; j<=3; ++j)
{
cout <<"Enter an integer: " <<endl;

}
}
}
return (a[0]);
}
int twod::sor(int a[4][4])
{
int sumr = 0;
int i;
for (i=0; i<=3; ++i)
{
for (j=0; j<=3; ++j)
int sumr = sumr +a[i][i];
return (sumr);
}
}

Since you do not know the size of the array at compile time, use dynamic allocation. Remember to programmably delete the individual arrays after you are done.

I am designing a system that needs a large file and i am using memory mapped files.
My file can grow above 4GB and i do not want to map the whole file to memory at one point.
But, the application is multithreaded and multiple threads may want access to different parts of the file. What is the overhead, if there are a lot of Map and UnMap calls? I mean, i know it will be slower than it not being there  . But, have anyone experience as to the nature of overhead that this will cause.

The overhead includes performance loss and possible synchronization problems. The program could suffer a performance loss since more than one thread could be reallocation larger virtual memory.
As the threads access the mapped files, you will need to implement a synchronization algorithm. Depending on the number of processes the program creates, you will need a CRITICAL_SECTION or a mutex.
Can you implement a solution such that the program will allocate memory before creating the threads? Thus, you will not have to allocate more virtual memory as often.

Why do you need to Map and UnMap? Can't each thread Map the file, and then you synchronize access across the threads?
Regardless of whether memory mapped files are used or not you still need to handle thread synchronization, so I don't see what that has to do with it.
I thought MMF couldn't go beyond 2G, but could well be wrong on this.
What is in this 4G file???
BTW I haven't used MMF, but I am very interested in this technique and keep reading all I can find about it. I'll be very interested in your experience. Doesn't seem to me that many people are using MMF and it looks so simple and elegant, and fast.

The data is historic market data for 5 years. Depending on the number of symbols that will be there, this could be a large file. Now, the mapping will be done only on certain parts of the file, depending on the user query. There will be a small part of the file, that will be updated from real-time market data. I can maintain that part of the file always in memory and do thread sync and stuff. Actually I already have code that has a limit of 2 GB as you said (the largest that can be mapped now). But, if I change that to mapping parts of the file, then there could potentially be a number of map/unmap going on. Hence before I went ahead with this, I just wanted to know whether anyone here has idea about the overhead involved in this.
My logic was: Even if a map existed, if the data has not been queried before, it would not be in memory. So, the overhead is the actual creation of the map. But, when I unmap (the case being the data requested is not in the current map), I assume that the OS unloads the memory related to that part (although I am not sure - it could be delayed too.)
I was not planning to map and unmap. The process would be to maintain a map until there is a query that requires me to map another part.

I don't know precisely what happens when you map/unmap but my guess is that for map nothing would happen, and for unmap any writes would be delayed. Why not write some test code and then profile it.
This is some info on MMF I've been collecting.

I did a sample profiling program:
The results:
Scenario a: [map - update - unmap] in a loop - 60 us per iteration
Scenario b: map - [update in a loop] - unmap - 40 ns per update
If the update is done on two memory locations in the view more than 4 KB apart, the time in the first case goes up to 80 us.
To confirm this, I added a FlushViewofFile in the scenario b loop and the time was 11 ms!.
Now I have to draw my conclusions.
- mapping and unmapping are not that bad, if they are inevitable.
- if you can map the whole file to memory, then do it. it gives best performance
- Limit the number of FlushViewofFile calls to what is absolutely necessary.

Hi Thomas, Thanks for that - very interesting, and good to boot. My main interest in MMF is in database code (BTree etc.) where instead of managing my own cache (which I do now), get rid of that and use MMF. This greatly simplifies my code and lets the OS cache look after caching instead of me. It also skips having to move data back and forth between my app<->cache<->disk file, which should also help improve performance, even if just by a small amount.
The main issue is whose cache provides optimal performance. I've heard and read that for some large database/file systems using your own caching can actually hinder performance. All very interesting stuff indeed.

Hi All,
I need to pass a parameter to a method which takes the value as LPCWSTR.But the data is in the simple character string char[10].How do I convert the data type by type casting.
Thanks

Simple typecasting won't work. You can use:
USES_CONVERSION;
CallSomeMethodThatAcceptsWideString( A2W( pszSomeCharArray ) );

Hi all,
I am writing an application on Win98.
I have problems with my RegisterClass .
I get "0" value when I call RegisterClass method and "GetLastError" method give 0x0000078 (decimal 120) value.
This code has worked fine in another application.
Why I get such a strange behaviour?
Code follows as below:
BOOL
InitApplication( HANDLE hInstance )
/*++
This function initializes window data and registers the window class
--*/
{
WNDCLASS wc;
BOOL tmp = FALSE;
DWORD result;
// Fill in window class structure with parameters that describe the
// main window.
wc.style = 0; // Class style(s).
wc.lpfnWndProc = MainWndProc; // Function to retrieve messages for
// windows of this class.
wc.cbClsExtra = 0; // No per-class extra data.
wc.cbWndExtra = 0; // No window extra data
wc.hInstance = hInstance; // Application that owns the class.
wc.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
wc.hbrBackground = GetStockObject(WHITE_BRUSH);
wc.lpszMenuName = "CexmplMenu"; // Name of menu resource in .RC file.
wc.lpszClassName = "CexmplWClass"; // Name used in call to CreateWindow.
// Register the window class and return success/failure code.
//
tmp = RegisterClass(&wc);
result = GetLastError();
// MessageBox(NULL,
return (tmp);
}
Any comments?
regards
Saekth

The error you're being returned is ERROR_CALL_NOT_IMPLEMENTED. Are you by chance writing an NT service or something exotical like a device driver?

hi there. i am new to this forum.
i was wondering if there was a way you could use C++ to retrieve an image off the web and store it in a file? For Instance, if i want a hurricane image off of weather.com then it would be neat if there was a C++ call or calls to allow you to grab that image(.jpeg or bitmap or whatever) off the web at any given point and store it in a folder or wherever.
Is this possible?  PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

You can use WinInet calls (starting with InternetOpenUrl or HttpOpenRequest), or use URLDownloadToFile to have IE do it for you. (See this article[^] for more info)

Sure, anything is possible. Internet Explorer, after all, is just C++ under the hood. That said, it's not a trivial task  If you're not against using MFC, take a look at CInternetSession, CHttpConnection, and CHttpFile. If the name of the JPG you're looking for constantly changes, you'll have to parse the containing HTML to figure it out every time. If the name stays the same, you're golden and only have to pull down that single file.

hey thanks all to have replyed so far  .
well in fact this is my situation in more detail. i am looking to get the picture off the web of the current hurricane over cuba and heading into the Gulf of Mexico. The Picture from this website changes every 15 mins, coming from a satellite picture. so what i want to do is for my C++ program to be able to go out to this site and grab the NEW "frame" or updated frame of the picture. the name of the file doesnt change i dont think but of course where the hurricane is does. every 15 mins i want to store the pics in a folder and then i can use them later for whatever i want. if i have been unclear this here is the link where i am looking at.

This wont compile:
{
char * dataBaseName = "abc";
BSTR b_dataBaseName = SysAllocString (dataBaseName);
}
error is:
SysAllocString' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'char *' to 'const unsigned short *'
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
