how the iterator in c could be printed

0 votes

Suppose, I have declared a vector in C++ like this:

vector<int>numbers = {4,5,3,2,5,42};

I can iterate it through the following code:

for (vector<int>::iterator it = numbers.begin(); it!=numbers.end(); it++){
    // code goes here
}

I'd now want to discuss programming in the for loop block.

I can use this iterator to access and modify any value. 

Let's imagine that I want to tenfold the print and every value. 

The code would then be:

*it+=10;
cout << *it << endl;

I have the ability to output the addresses of both the iterator and the elements being iterated.

You may output the iterator's address by using:

cout << &it << endl;

Address of iterated elements can be printed by:

cout << &(*it) << endl;

But why the iterator itself could not printed by doing the following?

cout << it <<endl;

I initially believed the convention was a JAVA invention due to its security-related nature. 

If it is, though, how come I was able to print its address?

But is there another way to accomplish this? 

Why not, then?

how could I use the power function in c/c++ without pow(), functions, or recursion

It is part of a series.  Replace pow() with the previous iteration's value. There is no need for code to call pow ().  Pow(x, 5 * I - 1) and pow(-1, I - 1) may be formed since both have an int exponent dependent on the iterator I from the previous loop iteration. Example: Let f(x, i) = pow(x, 5 * i ...READ MORE

What is the best way to use a HashMap in C++?

The ordered and unordered map containers (std::map and std::unordered map) are included in the standard library.  The items in an ordered map are sorted by key, and insert and access are in O (log n).  For ordered maps, the standard library often use red black trees.  However, this is only an implementation detail.  Insert and access are in O in an unordered map (1).  It is simply another term for a hashtable. An illustration using (ordered) std::map: #include <map> #include <iostream> #include <cassert> int main(int argc, char ...READ MORE
