Contest Sign-Up Thread: Rewrite Mid() from VB

[Codeplug]

I'm in.

Added
Need one more judge.

Mid(s1, 3, 0) = "123";

Does this make sense: "Replace 0 characters in s1 at position 3 with '123'"

So, what am I missing here? Some C++ concept that I haven't learned or have forgotten?

Probably.

[Codeplug]

here's one possibility with regards to 0 length Mid()'s;

string s1 = "abcdefg";
cout << (Mid(s1,3,0) = "123") << endl;

Output:
abc123defg

Contest is over in this timezone! I'll accept any entries I get before I check tommorow.
I've recieved entired from "[email protected]" and "Dorian Boyce", either of you want to enlighten me to your screen name?

[Sang-drax]

What should this code do?

Mid("12345",1,1) = "aaa";

Undefined?
An exception?

[Sang-drax]

I guess the best option would be if it didn't compile at all:

const std::string s1 = "abc";
Mid(s1,0) = "123"; //SHOULDN'T COMPILE
Mid("abc",0) = "123" //SHOULDN'T COMPILE

[no-one]

const std::string s1 = "abc";
Mid(s1,0) = "123"; //SHOULDN'T COMPILE
Mid("abc",0) = "123" //SHOULDN'T COMPILE

um yes they should, your forgeting that the assignment works on the returned value or object so, what appears to be an assignment to the function is actually assignement to the functions return.

[Codeplug]

I agree with you in that it should compile (cuz my version of it does ). The point that Sang-drax is trying to make is that the first argument to Mid() must be modified in the following cases:

string s1 = "abcdef";
Mid(s1, 2, 2) = "123";
if (s1 != "ab123ef") //checking s1, not return value of Mid()
   cout << "incorrect!" << endl;

So if the first parameter is constant, what do you do? One option is to not let it compile, which in my opinion, limits the functionality unnecessarily.
