Sorry, I've corrected some things.
int FindBit(BYTE* firstByte, int numBytes){
int pos = 0;
int index = 0;
BYTE current_bit = 1 << 7;
while(index != numBytes){
if((firstByte[index] & current_bit) != 0)
break;
pos++;
current_bit = current_bit >> 1;
if(current_bit == 0){
current_bit = 1 << 7;
index++;
}
}
return pos;
}
NOTE: With your example, 00001101 10110101 10110101, this function would return a 4, because the count starts from zero. So if you want the count to start at 1, you'd have to add a 1 to the return value.

Hmmm. Just for fun, here's a slightly different approach:
int FindBit(BYTE *firstByte,int numBytes)
{
int result = -1;
int index = 0;
while ((index < numBytes) &&
(firstByte[index] == 0)) {
index++;
}
if (index < numBytes) {
result = index * 8;
BYTE mask = 0x01;
while ((firstByte[index] & mask) == 0) {
mask <<= 1;
result++;
}
}
return result;
}My version of FindBit returns -1 in case there are no 1 bits. Also note that I'm assuming 'Intel' byte/bit ordering.

Can any one help me to solve this project ??
Obstacle Course
In this program you will implement the Obstacle Course specification using the Object-Oriented C++ language.
Problem Specification:
Design a program to simulate a race through an obstacle course. Racers start at the starting line and move one space at a time. The race ends when the first racer crosses the finish line.
Your program should be able to support a variety of racer classes with different movement strategies.
One type of racer always moves forward. If there's an obstacle in the way, the racer crashes into it and is out of the race.
Another moves forward unless that would mean running into an obstacle. If there is an obstacle in front of it, it always tries moving right, left, or backward, in that order.
Another moves forward unless that would mean running into an obstacle. If there is an obstacle in front of it, it randomly chooses to move right, left, or backward.
Another moves randomly, except that it never runs into an obstacle. For example, if moving right will run into an obstacle, it will randomly choose one of the directions of either forward, backward or left to move.
You should come up with at least one other type of racer strategy of your own, such as diagonal movement of forward-right, forward-left, backward-right or backward left. It will shun obstacle in its intended direction and choose the next diagonal direction as described in that order.
Your program should read in an obstacle course configuration. It should construct a number of racers and place them at the starting line. The user should be able to choose the number of racers and also to choose their types (or movement strategies). You could allow them to choose the type of each racer, or you could allow them to choose a type for each run of the simulation, and all racers in a given run would have the same type. It is optional for your program to graphically display the state of the obstacle course and obstacles and racers in it at the end of each time unit, but you are encouraged to do so. When the first racer crosses the finish line, your program should report which racer finished first, and its winning time.
The race environment should be modelled as a class in the form of a matrix that resembles a chess board. The base Racer class should contain some pure virtual function that executes the movement strategy. Each of these different Racer type is a derived class of the general base Racer class. You should develop an appropriate size of the racing matrix for this simulation program.

I'll be happy to help. I can have a working program ready in 3 days, complete with impressive graphics. I charge $250 an hour for my services and require 50% up front. The remainder is due upon delivery of the project.
As several CodeProject old-timers will attest, I'm very speedy in solving homeworks assignments, writing Computer Science term papers, and coding projects (esp. those due for final exams and thesis defenses). Feel free to contact me if you're interested!

Which amounts to what? If you work 24x7 for those three days, the total bill would be $18,000 with $9,000 being due up front. Yes?

Yes. Actually I was contemplating an 8-hour billable work day, resulting in a mere $3K, with $1.5K due up front. But of course I was being facetious, as you probably guessed.

here's my code:
void CfirstView::OnInitialUpdate()
{
CfirstView::OnInitialUpdate();
GetParentFrame()->RecalcLayout();
ResizeParentToFit();
AfxMessageBox("APN Initialized failed.");
}
however, the message box did not appear when i execute the compiled file.
can anyone help me on this one? is there some initialization i forgot to add?

Looks like you are going in a constant recursive loop. Call the base class' OnInitialUpdate.

but i am sure it is not this problem. OnInitialUpdate does not seems to be called at all....

|

Even if this is not the error you are trying to find, it is a mistake. You must call the base class for the OnInitialUpdate() call in your routine.

thanks for the reply
okay, now this sounds stupid but how do i call the base class in this case?

If your view is a CFormView, call CFormView::OnInitialUpdate() at the beginning og your OnInitialUpdate() method. Same with other types of views.

How do you read the value from a memory address using c++ ?
do you use pointer or something ?
|
|
|
|
|
What u want exactly?
If u looking for actual memory address of your volatile memory then I dont think memory address is shown by your pointer is the actual one.
Also u can manipuate data of the memory address of current process in windows at least.
If you want actual physical memory address
u please look for some windows memory management book.

You can use the * operator. But you have to tell C++ what sort of data to expect at the address, so it knows what type of variable to create, e.g.:
int memoryAddressValue = *((int *)memoryAddress);
if you know an int is at the address (which occupies 4 bytes, so this call reads the address and the next 3 addresses). Memory addresses are just bytes or data, so their meaning is open to interpretation ! This call casts the address to a pointer to an integer - (int*)memoryAddress - and then reads the value from memory - * operator.
Note: if the process doesn't have access to the address (which usually means the address is not the address of one of its variables on the stack, or is not part of the heap space defined by calling new/malloc etc) then expect an access violation exception.
Thanks,
Neil Humphreys.

thanks for the swift reply humps. I could understand your explaination better than any of those websites out there. Well you know the websites nowadays are providing more junks per piece of useful information.
well i think i understand what you mean, and that exactly is what i am trying to do.
I am trying to get a vaule from the address of another application. I suppose those address are not part of the heap space defined by my source code. So what am are the alternative now ?
* define my source code to include those address ?
well i am super confused stucked now i been bombing the internet all night with no avail... No last plea
anyone could be kind enough to offer some help to write the souce code in c++ to get the value of a WORD from a memory address finder application -- memware -- the address is 12C71560 and probably 0x12C71560 in c++ ?
well fragment of codes or even a clue as to which command would be kind enough.

Modern operating systems are designed to prevent exactly the type of access you are attempting. As a rule, each process runs in its own address space, and cannot access the address space of other processes. For example, suppose you have a variable in process A whose address is 12C71560. That address has meaning only inside process A. That same address inside process B only refers to memory that may or may not be allocated to process B.
If you are looking to establish communication between two processes, try here[^]. The topic you are looking for is inter-process communication.

Well i been searching for this one with no answer Glad to have some inputs.
I am trying to read a DWord from a memory location 0x003b9c how do i do that in code ?
indeed i just need to get a peek of the value
|

You need to use pointers.
DWORD *pointer = 0x00003b9c;
DWORD ValueAtAddress = *pointer;

Well i tried that out your code PJ Arends, but i got some errors in as follow is what is keyed into the program.
#include <stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
void main()
{
DWORD *pointer = 0x00003b9c;
DWORD ValueAtAddress = *pointer;
}
i got the following ERRORS
Compiling...
tervalor.cpp
C:\tervalor.cpp(5) : error C2065: 'DWORD' : undeclared identifier
C:\tervalor.cpp(5) : error C2065: 'pointer' : undeclared identifier
C:\tervalor.cpp(5) : error C2106: '=' : left operand must be l-value
C:\tervalor.cpp(6) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'ValueAtAddress'
C:\tervalor.cpp(6) : error C2065: 'ValueAtAddress' : undeclared identifier
C:\tervalor.cpp(6) : error C2100: illegal indirection
Error executing cl.exe.
tervalor.obj - 6 error(s), 0 warning(s)
so i correct the code to the following :
#include <stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
void main()
{
int *pointer = 0x00003b9c;
int ValueAtAddress = *pointer;
}
now i get the error as follow :
Compiling...
tervalor.cpp
C:\tervalor.cpp(5) : error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'const int' to 'int *'
Conversion from integral type to pointer type requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast
Error executing cl.exe.
tervalor.obj - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
well i am new and so think i am not going to get it but i will try. Anyway please help me understand. I like this board pretty much and i will continue to use it until i become professional and be able to help people someday.

Hi there,
I think you need to change the code to:
int *pointer = (int*) 0x00003b9c;
int ValueAtAddress = *pointer;
This is because C++ is strongly typed - and 0x00003b9c is a constant. The compiler assumes you were trying to create a "const int *" and made a typo - the (int*) "casts" the value into the required type.
Thanks,
Neil Humphreys.
