a segfaulting algorythm
This is a "string2Hz" algorythm ; It is used to return the Hz of a
string is entered. This is the syntax:
[key][octave](optional [in/decrement (+/-)])
So for example:
C1
a1
a1+
c1+
These for example have to return error:
a+1
q1
cc1+
(error is 0 at this code)
Code:#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #define A1BASE 440 char tmpchar[255]; int octave_man(void) // gets complete Hz-number of string tmpchar ... . { char *tmpchar2,*tmpchar3,*tmpchar4,*tmpchar5; char *alphabad[] = { "a","b","c","d","e","f","g" }; int inti,inti2; strncpy(tmpchar2,tmpchar,2); // kick possible garbage out, this mks it "user-friendly" if((strcmp("a1",tmpchar)) == 0) //we use tmpchar to make it bug-free ... . return A1BASE; // we don't need a huge calculation to define A1-value !!! for(inti=0;inti<=7;inti++) // count up the scale { if((strncmp(tmpchar2,alphabad[inti],0)) == 0) { strncpy(tmpchar3,tmpchar2,0); // seperation for(inti2 = 0;inti2<=6;inti2++) // count up the octave { sprintf(tmpchar4,"%s%d",tmpchar3,inti2); // tmp-usement if((strncmp(tmpchar2,tmpchar4,2)) ==0 ) { sprintf(tmpchar4,"%d",inti2); // real association! break; } } sprintf(tmpchar5,"%s%d",tmpchar3,tmpchar4); if((strcmp(tmpchar5,tmpchar2)) == 0) return ((A1BASE + (A1BASE/7*inti))*inti2); // return tone+octave as absolute Hz strcat(tmpchar5,"+"); if((strcmp(tmpchar5,tmpchar2)) == 0) return ((A1BASE + (A1BASE/7*inti))+(A1BASE/14)*inti2);//return tone+octave+ as absolute Hz sprintf(tmpchar5,"%s%d-",tmpchar3,tmpchar4); if((strcmp(tmpchar5,tmpchar2)) == 0) return ((A1BASE + (A1BASE/7+inti))-(A1BASE/14)*inti2);//return tone+octave- as absolute Hz } // if we leave the for(); loop generally, somebody entered something very // stupid! IT IS NOT VERY INTELIGENT TO POINT THIS OUT AFTER CALC SO MUCH :) } //recapitulation: alphabad : the scale // tmpchar2 : whole string // tmpchar3 : tone // tmpchar4 : octave // tmpchar5 : is just a tmp-char :) // init : integer used for the scale // inti2 : integer used for the octave return 0; } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int integer; scanf("%s",tmpchar); if((integer =octave_man()) == 0) { printf("error!\n"); return 1; } else { printf("%d\n",integer); return 0; } }
A short appendix: The math behind it:
a1 = 440 Hz, a2 = 880! So b1 is (a1+(a1/7*key))*octave ,
so (A1 + (A1/7*1)) *1 = 502.857 (503 = B1 )!
A general formula to calculate a full key is:
(A1 + (A1/7*x)) *y
(X = Number of the key: a is 1 , b is 2, c is 3 ,... | Y = Octave )
This means:
a1 b1 c2 d2 e2 f2 g2 a2
440 503 566 629 691 754 817 880
If I have to calculate with incrementation, I just do:
(A1 + (A1/7*x) + (A1/14) *y

Please, could somebody reply and tell me where make
octave_man() errors?
