Ubuntu :: Invalid Arithmetic Operator - Trying To Take Away Two Numbers With Decimals

Feb 7, 2011

I'm trying to make a bash script that takes away two decimal numbers. This is to work out partitioning information.

Code:

hddsize=`sudo parted -s /dev/sda unit GB print | grep "Disk" | tr -d [A-Z][a-z] | tr -d '/: '`
trimsize="1.5"
partitionendsize=$(($hddsize - $trimsize))

I get an invalid arithmetic operator. Not sure how to minus these two numbers. Is it a floating point issue?

Programming :: C++ Operator Overloading Within Already Overloaded Operator

Apr 16, 2011

I'm having a bit of an issue using overloaded operators in an already overloaded operator. In my following code, I have overloaded the && operator to compare two Course objects. The operator in turn goes to a function which calls other overloaded operators to compare private object variables of that object to compare them.

General :: Parsing Err Or Invalid $END - Correct User Use Of Invalid Characters

Feb 10, 2011

Trying simply to insert into table. Have succeeded in doing this but now want to correct user use of invalid characters. If I'm understanding correctly, Real-escape-string seems to correct these, so I've been trying to figure out how to use it. A short, test code version gives me a syntax error at INSERT VALUES, which--because it still has the single quotes in the text--tells me the real-escape-string didn't work. The code below gives me a parseing error with invalid $END at </body>.

Insert Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ' VALUES (UTC_TIMESTAMP,'What's happen' bra?')' at line 1 Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/powere15/public_html/DB/exercises_insert_record.php on line 94

Programming :: TCL AND Operator (&) On A Binary Value?

May 1, 2010

I have a binary value which I receive from a controller. Say this binary value is 42. Just plain hex 42. If you would look at that byte in a debugger you would see 42.Now this value hold 8 bits each indicating a high or a low output. So 0x42 = 01000010b. Which means bits 1 and 6 are '1'.When I would want to find out which bits are set and which are not in a language like C, I simply do:

Code:

mask = 0x80;
if (binval & mask) {...}
etc..

However I am programming in TCL, and I try to do:

Code:

set mask 0x80
if { [expr ($binval & $mask) > 0] } {...}
etc...

this fails. At the moment the expr is executed, $binval is evaluated and substituted so the expression I am evaluating is

Code:

set mask 0x80
if { [expr ('B' & '0x80') > 0] } {...}
etc...

Eventually I got it working by converting the $binval into a '0x42' string value, like this:

Code:

binary scan $binval c byte
set byte [format "0x%0x" $byte]
set mask 0x80
if { [expr ($byte & $mask) > 0] } {...}
etc...[

Then the expression yields what I want. But this seems so stupid and clumsy. Isn't there a better way where I can compare two binary values without conversions?

Programming :: Getting A Comparison Operator To Work?

Feb 8, 2010

I'm very new at Bash scripting and have a bone head issue that I'm trying (and failing) to resolve. I cannot get this one IF statement to work, it seems the comparison operator does not think the resulting number from the $b*$c+$b operation is an integer even though it is a number. Below is a small proof of concept script with the bit I'm having trouble with.

Code:
#! /bin/bash
a=800
b=700
c=.15
if [ "$a" -le "$(echo "($b*$c+$b)"|bc)" ]

Debian Programming :: Square Bracket Operator?

Code: Select allclass A
{
public:
    void SetValue(int index, Item* B);
private:
    int m_iCount;
    ItemCollection Item_Collection;

[code]....

The probelm is that I am not just blindly assigning whatever given on the right hand side to the returned value from operator [], I need to verify it's not NULL, and it is not already there in the Item_Collection, and I also need to increase the count.

Programming :: Operator For Floating Point Comparison?

May 10, 2011

I know it is wrong to use the "==" operator to compare the equality of two floating point numbers. Logically it would seem that if the "==" operator is not usable for floating point comparison, then the "<=" operator would also not be usable. Is this true? The lack of google search results on this topic made me think that it must be true. If that is true, then is it true that the only way to compare floats with <= or >= is with something like the code below? Code: bool smaller_than_or_equal(float a, float b) {

if ( fabs(a-b) < EPSILON){return true;}
else if (a < b) {return true;}
else {return false;}

} I think this is a general question, but if specifics are necessary, I am using the C++ language to code at the moment.

Programming :: C++ Cin Doesn't Wait For Input By Operator

Jan 4, 2010

I am trying to learn C++.I implemented a simple archive program, and I am in a situation in which the user is prompted by a menu to make a choice.So I have some cout instruction to illustrate the possible choices and then

int choice;
cin>>choice;

and everything works fine.I introduced this code in a "while" loop that checks wether the choice made by the user is valid or not:

bool check=true;
int choice;
while(check)
{
cin>>choice;
if(the choice is valid) {...;check=false}
else cout<<"please make an other choice"
}

What is happening is that if by mistake the user introduces a character in place of a number, the loop repeats indefinitely because the program, when it get to the "cin" instruction, does not pauses to wait for a new input.

Programming :: Python Equivalent Of C Ternary Operator?

Isn't there an exact proper way to do it? Any difference for using lambda functions? I'm sorry, but I've been searching and it's ambiguous to me how this should be handled. I would appreciate a person's help on this. I came up with this link, but I'm wondering if I'm missing something.[URL]...

Fedora :: Error: Missing Binary Operator Before Token

Oct 26, 2010

I have been spending several days getting wxwidgets to work in code::blocks ide on several different platforms. Now I am down to one instance that I can't figure out. I have wxwidgets working in Fedora 13 x64, but cannot get it to work in a Fedora 13 x32 version. Actually, wxwidgets seem to be installed OK, but I run into compiler errors when I try to compile the default wxhello project. I get quite a few messages, in different header files, of this type:

/usr/include/assert.h:39:42: error: missing binary operator before token "("#if defined __cplusplus && __GNUC_PREREQ (2,95) From my friend Google this would seem to be caused by an older version of boost (before 1.37) - see http://bugs.xmms2.xmms.se/view.php?id=2215 ("It is an issue with old versions of boost and gcc4.4 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36453 It is fixed in boost 1.37")

I did a yum info command on both systems for every relevant package I could think of, including gcc(v4.4.4), gcc-c++(4.4.4), libgcc(4.4.4), libstdc++(4.4.4), boost(1.41.0), wxGTK(2.8.11), wxBase(2.8.11). Both systems are fully updated and have the same versions, with the only difference being 32 vs 64 bit. The same headers compile with no errors on the x64 system, but not x32. I have been able to find no other reason for this error than older versions of the preprocessor, yet that is apparently not the case here).
