You do it be creating a loop, using a do, while or for statement. In pseudo code something like:
Set a retry count
While retry is not zero
Check password
If password is correct
Then break
Else
retry = retry - 1
If retry is zero
Then display error message
End While
See if you can turn that into C code.

To continue the prompting until the correct password is entered, you'll need to use a loop. Something like:
do
{
...
} while (password != 12345);

write a program to find voltage when enter current and resistor value using the following formula:voltage=current x resistor
#include<stdio.h>
float main()
{
float current,resistor,voltage;
printf("Enter the current value:");
scanf("%f",¤t);
printf("Enter the resistor value:");
scanf("%f",&resistor);
voltage = current*resistor;
{
printf("Total voltage=%2f V");
}
return 0;
}
i try this but i cant find the correct output..
please help me..i am a student..

You forgot to pass the voltage argument to printf:
printf("Total voltage=%f V\n", voltage);
Note also that the return value of main() is int by definition and can not be float.

That, and there's some weird line, although it may just be a case of messed up copy/pasting:
scanf("%f",¤t);
should be:
scanf("%f",¤t);

When you don't understand what your code is doing or why it does what it does, the answer is debugger.
Use the debugger to see what your code is doing. It allow you to execute lines 1 by 1 and to inspect variables as it execute, it is an incredible learning tool.
Debugger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[^]
Mastering Debugging in Visual Studio 2010 - A Beginner's Guide[^]
The debugger is here to show you what your code is doing and your task is to compare with what it should do.
There is no magic in the debugger, it don't find bugs, it just help you to. When the code don't do what is expected, you are close to a bug.

Hello all & Thanks for reading this,
-I would have a question on you:
-I have created a small application on MFC/C++ that draw different geometric shapes on screen using the mouse (like Paint). These shapes can be moved and rotated,
so, I had to keep all these created shapes in a vector and draw all of them in OnDraw().
-My problem is, when I create many shapes (more than 50-60) and I try to move/rotate one of the shapes, these movements/rotations become very-very slow.
-Could you give me some tips in order to make my application faster when moving/rotating?
OnDraw(CDC* pDC)
{
for (int i = 0; i < numberObjects; i++)
objects[i]->DrawShape(pDC);
}
Many thanks!

You are basically building a version of windows within windows 
Buffering won't really help you that much, the problem is you are redrawing 50 shapes when you move one shape (look at your code you do 1..numberObjects) and most of the time you don't need to redraw them. What you need to do is calculate what shapes overlap where your shape to move is now, and what shapes overlap the move shape in it's new position. Then you only need to draw those limited shapes. Much of the time you only needed to redraw probably 1-3 shapes but you are drawing everything.
You can then get even smarter like windows and do only redraw partial areas. Do you see the next step from above in those cases you do have to redraw from above often you don't have to redraw the entire thing just a limited area. So you are minimizing the redrawing.
If you aren't going to have thousands I can give a quick hack which is to put each shape on it's own child window. That child window has frames off and have no background color and simply draws that shape just like your code does on the one parent window. Do you get what will happen the window is transparent except the area you draw on, in the old days we called them sprites. To move the shape just issue a window MoveWindow command to that child window handle and it will move and do minimum overlapping window redraws for you for free ..... because that is what windows does with a window move
I will give you the other thing about that trick the selection of the shapes is a lot easier probably than you current code because windows will sort all the overlapping for you.
That all said the often better way to do this is to simply XOR draw a rectangle representing the object and move just the XOR box with the mouse. When you get to where you want it you do the release and only then redraw everything. I assume you know the trick with XOR drawing if not

Nice tips @Leon, many thanks for your help!

No worries and since you came back can I offer you a piece of code that can very quickly reject all the trivial shape areas that do not require drawing when moving in your current code.
You need to set the "dragging" flag to TRUE when you are moving a shape and set it back to FALSE when done dragging. I don't have the structures so you need to feed in x1,y1,x2,y2 into the two /* xxxxx */. So for each Area x1,y1 needs to be top left corner, x2,y2 lower right corner of the on screen minimum box around the shape. It puts an extra very fast test on redrawing a shape if the flag is set and I will leave you to work out what it does but it is commented
BOOL CanAreasOverlap (int Area1_x1, int Area1_y1, int Area1_x2, int Area1_y2, int Area2_x1, int Area2_y1, int Area2_x2, int Area2_y2){
if (Area1_x1 > Area2_x2) return (FALSE);
if (Area1_x2 < Area2_x1) return (FALSE);
if (Area1_y1 > Area2_y2) return (FALSE);
if (Area1_y2 < Area2_y1) return (FALSE);
return (TRUE);
}
BOOL dragging = FALSE;
OnDraw(CDC* pDC){
for (int i = 0; i < numberObjects; i++){
if ((!dragging) || CanAreasOverlap(, )) {
objects[i]->DrawShape(pDC);
}
}
}
When you drag a shape and go to redraw

If constructor is throwing any execpetion after allocating some memory (using new) on heap then how can we free that allocated memory.
|
|
|
|
|
Ideally you avoid any activity that would throw an exception in the constructor. Instead of using new on the constructor. Mark the pointers as nullptr and then have a separate init function.
But you might try
new (std::nothrow)
which will eat the exception and instead return nullptr.
or you can do something like.
try {
ptr = new char[100];
} catch(std::bad_alloc& e) {
}
But overall, is a bad idea to throw on a constructor.
|
|
|
|
|
Move the memory allocation to a class of its own so that the new happens in its constructor and delete happens in its destructor. That should be the only responsibility of the allocating class.
In the class whos constructor throws, create an object of the allocating class on the stack.
Since destructors are only called for objects that are fully constructed, the allocating class destructor is always guaranteed to be called.

I need to send a string or char to a "POS Receipt Printer" via USB.
My problem is how to establish a communication with the printer by USB port in C++ (I'm using MFC)
I tried this:
HANDLE dev = CreateFile(
"\\\\.\\USB001",
GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE,
FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE,
NULL,
OPEN_EXISTING,
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,
NULL);
if(dev!=INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
DWORD dwWritten = 0;
LPCSTR lpszTest = "Hello world!";
::WriteFile(dev, lpszTest, strlen(lpszTest), &dwWritten, NULL);
::CloseHandle(dev);
}
but, it returns by GetLastError() a value = 2 (Can not find the specified file)
Also, I tried this:
HANDLE dev;
CString s("\\\\.\\USB001");
LPWSTR p=(LPWSTR)(LPCTSTR)s;
if(OpenPort(p,(PHANDLE)&dev))
{
CString str = "Hello world!";
LPBYTE pByte = new BYTE[str.GetLength()+1];
memcpy(pByte,(VOID*)LPCTSTR(str),str.GetLength());
LPDWORD r;
r=0;
WritePort(dev,pByte,6,r);
delete [] pByte;
}
But I got frustrated,
due that OpenPort and WritePort belongs to #include <winsplp.h> and <winspool.h> , so it generates a lot of dependencies (libs,dlls) that escapes my knowledge.
If anyone can help me, I will be really grateful.

To open a handle to a USB device, you have to use the SetupDixxx APIs to enumerate and find the device.
Here is an example for enumerating USB devices - http://www.velleman.eu/images/tmp/usbfind.c[^]
Once the correct VID/PID pair is found, you can use the DevIntfDetailData->DevicePath in a call to CreateFile.

Just a guess, but have you tried something like:
CreateFile("\\\\.\\USB#VID_0781&PID_5530#077443117B924E40#{a5dcbf10-6530-11d2-901f-00c04fb951ed}", ...);or if your USB drive has a drive letter mapped to it:
CreateFile("\\\\.\\D:", ...);

Hi
Our project uses a stl map to save meta info. The map is the entrance of all operations, include read / write / update, etc. It must be very efficient.
Every item of the map is about 0.1kB. Now the length is 1M at most. So, the memory used is not over 100M. It is OK by now.
However, in the further, the length might be 1G or more. We have to consider a distrusted solution with high performance…
We tested memcached / Redis. The performance is not so good (no more than 5k query per seocns, need time to optimise.) What’s more, both the solution (memcached / redis) bring many issues for product deployment.
Is there a light weight solution for distrusted map in memory? For example, hold 3 maps in 3 servers and a meta in primary. In detail,
1. All query / update / insert / delete operation is finished in primary
2. If the info is in primary, do it locally, otherwise, send request (query / insert / update / delete) to peer.
3. Three parts of information can be balanced dynamically.
Thanks

Hi all,
I need some help from you: I try to render an SVG image on the screen (with alpha channel). The problem is, when I try to draw the image on the screen, I see absolutely nothing.
First of all, my SVG image is loaded correctly, and the ATL CImage from the below code, contains a correct image. The problem start when I try to use Gdiplus + alpha channel.
For instance, if I use PixelFormat24bppRGB instead of PixelFormat32bppARGB, the image is drawn correctly, but alpha channel is not preserved - a black halo is shown around my image.
Do you see any problem in my code?
PS: I use Win7, 32 bit + Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate.
Many thanks!

Can I first say you have no error checking at all in that code ... really bad programming practice
cairo_win32_surface_get_dc can fail and return NULL ... read the manual.
Why might there not be a win32 surface, well because you have to set a #define CAIRO_HAS_WIN32_SURFACE 1 in the cairo library .... again in the manual.
You code is totally reliant on srcHDC being valid ... Yet inexplicably you don't check it.
Secondly you probably want an alpha channel on the CIMage .. the create should be CreateEx
CImage image;
image.CreateEx(width, height, 32, BI_RGB, 0, 0);
Thirdly read TransparentBlt detail and if we do the Alpha channel it will then copy the source alpha onto the destination alpha ... is that Ok? If not you have to use AlphaBlend function.
Fourth check GDIPlus I seem to remember it had issues with Alpha channels.
Final comment is you seem to be making life difficult for yourself using 3 different systems for reasons that aren't clear. You are moving bitmap data around between systems for no real reason what you want can be done in any of the 3 systems and even natively on the Win32 API. You are even initializing the GDI plus system with a draw process ... like seriously please don't do it are you really hell bent on making the draw as slow as possible. Start the GDIPlus with the window or program and close it when done but not in a draw process ever.

Actually the problem was related to the way of copying from srcHDC to ImageHDC. I have done like this:
HDC svgDC = cairo_win32_surface_get_dc(surface);
image.Create(width, height, 32);
image.SetHasAlphaChannel(TRUE);
HDC imageHDC = image.GetDC();
BLENDFUNCTION blend = { AC_SRC_OVER, 0, 255, AC_SRC_ALPHA };
AlphaBlend(imageHDC, 0, 0, width, height, svgDC, 0, 0, width, height, blend);
image.ReleaseDC();
Best regards!
