ok I give up with std::vector

I'm going to go back to int* because it makes more sense to me

caird coinheringaahing

@Mr.Xcoder I think you should get a mod to unfreeze the chat room then :P

@cairdcoinheringaahing Mhm, I'll see.

Anyway up for JHT (can't post that challenge rn)?

caird coinheringaahing

Yeah, sure

HyperNeutrino

@user202729 C++ question: how do I return an array from a function without it giving me a -Wreturn-stack-address warning?

NieDzejkob

it can't be a stack variable

because then it becomes UD after the function returns

you need to allocate the array using new or malloc

user202729

2:16 PM

@HyperNeutrino Yes, use new or std::array or std::vector.

HyperNeutrino

huh

that would explain why the output is just a bunch of random numbers after the function returned

user202729

tio.run/##Sy4o0E1PTv7/…

HyperNeutrino

oh makes so much more sense thanks!

user202729

tio.run/##ZYxBCoMwFAXX/…

I prefer using STL containers, because you don't have to delete it later.

HyperNeutrino

oh huh

c++ makes absolutely no sense to me at all lol

user202729

2:20 PM

tio.run/##XY/BbsIwEETv/…

HyperNeutrino

oh wait what am I doing I am actually dumb lol

user202729

C++ doesn't have dynamic memory manipulation. (actually it does, std::shared_ptr) so you have to handle them yourself if you use new. Generally I don't like using new.

HyperNeutrino

ok

wait question about std::vector: is the memory used by a vector guaranteed to be a whole contiguous segment no matter what?

user202729

Yes.

But generally you don't need to care about it, use the provided iterators.

HyperNeutrino

hm ok

wait but how does that work if it doesn't know its needed size ahead of time?

user202729

2:28 PM

What "that" works?

HyperNeutrino

nvm I realized that since it's compiled it does know its needed size ahead of time

I was just wondering how it knows how much memory to allocate to prevent other things from using the memory in the block that it might eventually need

AdmBorkBork

buffer overflow

user202729

When you allocate it, you own it. You have the syntax new int[/* put size here */] (both in C++ and Java) (that's how vector is implemented)

HyperNeutrino

oh ok

but like what if the vector allocates enough memory for say 100 values and then you push 101 values to it

and the 101th block of memory is occupied by something else

user202729

It allocates a new int[] with size about 200 and copy everything to the new array.

(and of course, delete[] the old one)

HyperNeutrino

2:31 PM

ohhh that makes sense now thanks

so does allocating a tiny vector and then expanding it constantly waste a bunch of time then?

user202729

Amortized constant time per operation.

(that is, push_back n elements takes time O(n), even if some operation may takes very long time)

However if you already know the size you can assign, resize (which affect the content) or reserve (which does not affect the content, but improve running time slightly; may be important in competitive programming)

HyperNeutrino

hm ok

halp sums.erase(std::unique(sums.begin(), sums.end()), sums.end()); isn't working

oh nvm

lol halp is just help

but yeah I'm dumb; I put std::sort(sums) after the erase line

wait what that still didn't work

wait nvm it did

I have 3 TIO windows open and all of them look too similar to me lol

nvm I got it now thanks tho :)

now, to figure out why adding 0, 1, 1024 8 times can possibly give 15...

user202729

Post TIO, again

user202729

You can use std::vector<int> values instead of int* values, int valcount.

HyperNeutrino

2:41 PM

I guess

yeah I probably should

user202729

results.push_back(subs[j] + i);? What is i?

HyperNeutrino

also I'm dumb

@user202729 yeah i is the index whoops

user202729

If you don't really need the index I suggest using range-based for loop (C++11 and upper)

HyperNeutrino

how do you do that for TIO?

user202729

However the problem is that only works with std::vector or array that have not decayed into a pointer.

HyperNeutrino

2:43 PM

ok

since I have no int* right now it should work (everything is a std::vector<int> now)

@user202729 thanks for the help; I think I got a solution! here :)

it's way less efficient than yours :P

user202729

I suggest using cmath instead. Is there any particular reason you included that?

HyperNeutrino

which, math.h?

user202729

Yes

HyperNeutrino

for pow I think

whoops lunchtime for me thanks for the help, cya!

anyway gtg o/

Does anyone know how (in regex), you can make a character optional iff it is at the end of the line?

HyperNeutrino

caird coinheringaahing

For example, <regex> would match both abc(def and abc(def)ghi

(the ) is optional)

HyperNeutrino

abc$def($?$|\)ghi)?

(the question mark at the end is not part of the regex

caird coinheringaahing

@HyperNeutrino Yep, that works. Thanks!

wizzwizz4

@cairdcoinheringaahing (\)|$)? should do it, I think.

HyperNeutrino

5:18 PM

actually no just (\)|$) without the question mark
