Function Help. C++

[jaycole978]

Thank you soooo much , I'll report back soon. You are a blessing

         cout << "Users Guess" << "\t\t\t" << "Generated Cards" << endl;    for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {        // Get the names of the choices from the deck        std::string UserChoice = CARDS;       std::string GeneratedCard = CARDS;        // print the names side by side        cout << UserChoice << "\t\t\t" <<GeneratedCards<< endl;    }          

Am I on the right track?  I am getting a weird error here, I can only input two pointers.

 

Or

std::string UserChoice = GetGuess();       std::string GeneratedCard = GenerateCorrectCards;

Hmm

[jaycole978]

Good lord I cannot figure it out, Madknight I shall do whatever you want if you can finish those two lines for me lol Im a decent graphic designer Im a very good writer.... haaaaaalp lolll

[madknight3]

Making it equal to CARDS isn't right because CARDS is an array. You need the values from it like you have been doing with every array *(CARDS + ... )

[jaycole978]

OOH dear lord I swear i did that and it gave me an error haha is it strange to say I love you lollllll  It did generate nothing like you said and is also only giving me the user input, my brain is so numb from staring at this code for days straight... so should i decrement cards *(deck + i - 1) in main like you suggested?

That's not quite right. Using *(CARDS + i) is only going to give you the first 5 members of the array. You need to use something else instead of i

 

Remember, you need to match the contents of the other arrays to the strings in CARDS.

[jaycole978]

void DisplayCards (int *user, int *generatedCards)        {                                                 cout << "Users Guess" << "\t\t\t" << "Generated Cards" << endl;             cout<<"***************************************************"<<endl;    for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {        // Get the names of the choices from the deck        std::string UserChoice = (*(CARDS+i));       std::string GeneratedCard = (*(generatedCards+i));        // print the names side by side        cout << UserChoice<< "\t\t\t" <<GeneratedCard<< endl;    }

 

 

And I get the error  [Error] invalid conversion from 'int' to 'const char*' [-fpermissive]

for generated cards

[jaycole978]

So, something like

 

  std::string UserChoice = (*(CARDS+user));

 

?

 

Edit:You must hate me man lol I'm basically a toddler with c++ I'm asking the stupidest questions.

Haha don't worry.

 

You're really close with that one. Remember, user points to the first value of the array but it wont change when i is increased.

[jaycole978]

Won't change when i is increased....

 

std::string UserChoice = (*(CARDS-user));

 

????

[jaycole978]

However, the + and - give me this error...

  [Error] no match for 'operator-' in '*(std::string*)(& CARDS) - user'

[madknight3]

+ was correct but what I mean is you want to get the values from within user.

[jaycole978]

std::string UserChoice = (*(CARDS)+(*(user));
       std::string GeneratedCard = (*(CARDS)+(*(generatedCards));

 

I think this is what you mean?

 

But I am getting the error    [Error] no match for 'operator+' in '*(std::string*)(& CARDS) + * user'

[madknight3]

std::string UserChoice = (*(CARDS)+(*(user));

       std::string GeneratedCard = (*(CARDS)+(*(generatedCards));

 

I think this is what you mean?

 

You're very close. Here's what you need.

*(CARDS + *(user + i))// *(user + i) will be familiar to you since you've used it so much// You're using that to get the value out of user in each loop.// Example// if *(user + 3) contains the value 4// Then what we are doing is getting the value in *(CARDS + 4) (ie: blue circle)

Hope you understand.

[jaycole978]

I do not I have until 11:58 to turn this in. Madknight if you finish this block for me I will design you the sickest avi or signature or both ever.   After that I get this error

 

 

 

void DisplayCards (int *user, int *generatedCards)
        {
            
            
            
             cout << "Users Guess" << "\t\t\t" << "Generated Cards" << endl;
             cout<<"***************************************************"<<endl;

    for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
        // get the names of the choices from the deck
        std::string UserChoice = *(CARDS + *(user + i));
       std::string GeneratedCard = *(CARDS)+*(generatedCards+i));

        // print the names side by side
        cout << UserChoice<< "\t\t\t" <<GeneratedCard<< endl;

 

 

  [Error] no match for 'operator+' in '*(std::string*)(& CARDS) + *(generatedCards + ((sizetype)(((long long unsigned int)i) * 4ull)))'

[jaycole978]

Thank you so much for all your help man, I am grateful for you.  There are still good people left in the world lol

[madknight3]

Be careful with the brackets here, they aren't quite right.

std::string GeneratedCard = *(CARDS)+*(generatedCards+i));

[jaycole978]

Is this correct?

 

 

  std::string UserChoice = (*(CARDS) + (*(user + i));
       std::string GeneratedCard = (*(CARDS)+(*(generatedCards+i));

 

I'm getting this:

Error] no match for 'operator+' in '*(std::string*)(& CARDS) + *(user + ((sizetype)(((long long unsigned int)i) * 4ull)))'

[madknight3]

lol you changed the brackets on the wrong one and introduced the same error for the UserChoice line.

[jaycole978]

Lmao really? Gahd...

 

 

 std::string UserChoice = *(CARDS + *(user + i));
       std::string GeneratedCard = *(CARDS)+*(generatedCards+i));

 

Thats what I have now and either way I have them I get the same unfortunate error... ooh lord.. 4 minutes

[madknight3]

There's an extra bracket in the GeneratedCard line (I colored it)

 

std::string UserChoice = *(CARDS + *(user + i));
std::string GeneratedCard = *(CARDS ) + *(generatedCards+i));

[jaycole978]

Thanks for all your help I really do appreciate you walking me through everything.. well I submitted the assignment. What was the solution? Im curious now lol

[jaycole978]

LMAOOOO Omg im resubmitting rn... thank youuuu
