brilliant explanation , thank you!

[@Jorgeee]

Hey man, will you ever upload c++ tutorials? You explain everything so amazingly it's very easy to follow. You would make the c++ syntax so much easier to understand

[@CodeVault]

Possibly, if enough people want me to. For now, I've got a lot planned for C programming tutorials and other computer science related topics which I found many people lack knowledge in.

There are five data (plain text) files, namely, the “students.txt”, “courses.txt”, “registrations.txt”, “criteria.txt”, and “performances.txt” that keep information. Student file keeps the information about students such as the student number, name, surname, and department in abbreviated form. Course file keeps the information about courses such as the course code and course title. Criteria file keeps the information about course assessments such as the course code, course credit value, homework, lab, quiz, midterm, and final percentages. Registration file keeps the information about the student’s registrations such as the student number, academic year, semester, and course code. Performance file keeps the information about the student’s performances such as the student number, course code, and performances. The program should read all given files and should prepare transcripts for each student i am managed to read all files into structures but i am failing to match and collect information for each student @CodeVault please help

[@starfart69]

Around @8:30, line 22, why would you rather use another struct pointer p instead of just using the struct in line 19 which is points[100]? From what I understand you modified the values on the same address anyway.

[@CodeVault]

Doing this: Point p = points[i]; sscanf(buffer, "%d %d %d", &p->x, &p->y, &p->val); Would NOT change the array as p would simply be a copy of "points[i]". But you could use points[i] directly if you don't like that pointer. Instead of sscanf(buffer, "%d %d %d", &p->x, &p->y, &p->val); it could be done with: sscanf(buffer, "%d %d %d", &points[i]->x, &points[i]->y, &points[i]->val); The pointer was just used for shortening the code.

Hi thank you for your videos! Got a question though, in my program i’ve array of struct, struct User* user; And the elements are lets say username[200]; password[200]; But when i’m passing them to int functions, from one function to another, the data that has been saved before seems to vanish For example in a function i strcpy(user[i].username,”bluish”); and it saves successfully but when i pass it to another function it writes for that. Can tell where its problem? And in the function that im saving the username it’s like Signup(&user, i) so that it saves but in the other function it’s just (user,i) as arguements

[@CodeVault]

How are you accessing that data?

[@Zahra-qb7nm]

@@CodeVault ah thank you! It got sorted, the access was also through watch window, thank you for the video it helped me alot :)))

[@TehRespawner]

thanks for the tutorial! but im having trouble understanding how the information gets stored in the variable 'points'. i dont see it being assigned other than the *p = points + i, but this is assigning p? .. sorry if my question is stupid, but im a beginner programmer so its a little bit confusing :)

[@CodeVault]

It's this line that is setting things in the points array: sscanf(buffer, "%d %d %d", &p->x, &p->y, &p->val); Since *p = points + i; We know that p points to some element in the points array. Then, in that sscanf line we do: &p->x This is a two step process: p->x means "get whatever is at the address p is pointing to (which is an element in that array) and get the x member of that element" &p->x means "get the address of the result of p->x (from above)" Thus &p->x gives us an address to the x member inside of an element in that points array. Same logic for the rest of the parameters in that sscanf line

[@mika1758]

how can we do this for csv (excel) files

[@CodeVault]

Just change the format string to output CSV: sscanf(buffer, "%d,%d,%d", &p->x, &p->y, &p->val);

Yes, one of the best. How do I store lines from files into an array? I tried few things but failed. My file contains "test line 1 in the first line and in next line test line 2 and so on.... there is a total of four lines. One of the solutions was declaring a 2D array and store the four lines and this made me more confused, could you please help me? thanks :-)

[@CodeVault]

Yea, basically a 2D array or an array of strings should be good enough. You can simply call in a while loop. char strArray[100][100]; while (fgets(strArray[i], 100, file) != NULL) { i++; } Something like this... also, make sure your file has a new line at the end so that the while loop doesn't stop prematurely.

[@afsanehakhbari8880]

thank you for perfect explanation would you please describe how we can pass struct and struct arrays to the pthread_creat

[@CodeVault]

I will make a video on that. But it's really the same way as you'd pass an integer. Usually dynamically allocated so that it doesn't get overriden: struct Example e = malloc(sizeof(struct Example)); e->x = 1; e->y = 5; pthread_create(&th, NULL, &routine, e);

How do you delete a line of data in a serialized record

[@CodeVault]

The easiest and foolproof way is to just read everything into an array, delete the element and write everything back into it

[@asifsaad5827]

same thing happens when you do that with class type?

[@CodeVault]

Classes don't exist in C. But, sure, you can use the same technique with classes in C++. But you can use streams there.

[@bharatnarayana8401]

{"sam","0004","SDE1","VLSI"} what will be the de serialization format i.e to read this type of forat const char* PERSON_FORMAT_IN=....?

[@CodeVault]

Here you can't really use %s, but you can specify that you only want a string with alphanumerics using the %[A-Za-z0-9], then just use that in the combination with the other characters found in that string.

[@bharatnarayana8401]

[@asifsaad5827]

btw why did you write Point *p=points +i? can't we do like this Point *p=points[i] ?

[@CodeVault]

No. points[i] is equivalent to *(points + i) which returns type Point Which means it would dereference that point. But we want a pointer to it, not the actual value since we want to modify the contents of that array. &points[i] would be equivalent to points + i which returns the type Point*

[@asifsaad5827]

@@CodeVault why did you use a pointer to insert elements into an array? can't you simply put the values of x,y and val (during every loop) in the array named "points"?

[@asifsaad5827]

@@CodeVault like this int i=0; while(!foef(file)) { sscanf(buffer,"%d %d %d",&points[i].x,&points[i].y,&points[i].val); i++; //rest are as usual }

[@CodeVault]

Yep, you can. It was just shorter to write that way. I prefer to have a pointer to the iterated element in the array rather than repeating points[i] everywhere.

Thank you!

[@taherrezzag9848]

but why you put fgets() out of while loop

[@CodeVault]

It's so that you always call fgets right before checking if you're at the end of file. You could also call it inside but check it twice: while (!feof(file)) { fgets(buffer, 200, file); if (feof(file)) { break; } }

[@asifsaad5827]

@@CodeVault why did you write an If statement inside while loop? when the file reaches the end of it, then will simply be out of the loop due to the condition set by the while loop

[@CodeVault]

This is assuming that you also process this data in some way. Like this: while (!feof(file)) { fgets(buffer, 200, file); if (feof(file)) { break; } // Processing goes here sscanf(buffer, ...); } If we don't add that if statement, fgets wouldn't read anything and that would prompt sscanf to process the previous value that was in buffer thus duplicating the value (similarly to how I showed in the video)
