I use this to split string by a delimiter. The first puts the results in a pre-constructed vector, the second returns a new vector. #include <string> #include <sstream> #include <vector> #include <iterator> template <typename Out> void split(const std::string &s, char delim, Out result) { std::istringstream iss(s); std::string item; while (std::getline(iss, item, delim)) { *result++ = … Read more
The compiler is allowed to make one implicit conversion to resolve the parameters to a function. What this means is that the compiler can use constructors callable with a single parameter to convert from one type to another in order to get the right type for a parameter. Here’s an example class with a constructor … Read more
From an int: YourEnum foo = (YourEnum)yourInt; From a string: YourEnum foo = (YourEnum) Enum.Parse(typeof(YourEnum), yourString); // The foo.ToString().Contains(“,”) check is necessary for // enumerations marked with a [Flags] attribute. if (!Enum.IsDefined(typeof(YourEnum), foo) && !foo.ToString().Contains(“,”)) { throw new InvalidOperationException( $”{yourString} is not an underlying value of the YourEnum enumeration.” ); } From a number: YourEnum … Read more
A pointer can be re-assigned: int x = 5; int y = 6; int *p; p = &x; p = &y; *p = 10; assert(x == 5); assert(y == 10); A reference cannot be re-bound, and must be bound at initialization: int x = 5; int y = 6; int &q; // error int &r … Read more
