Thread: converted code

Hello im new to the programing world im still in school and just finished a python class and starting tomorrow will be in a c++ class so to just mess around before class ive been trying to convert one of my programs from python to c++

here is the python:

Code:

import random as R
def array(size, initial=0):                                                     
    return [initial for i in range(size)]


def randint():
    count = 0
    flag = 0
    rannum = array(100, 0)                                                     # Build an array with 1000 spaces
    while count != 100:                                                       # Loop and fill the array with 1-52 in random order
        rannum[count] = R.randint(1, 500)
        count += 1 
    print(rannum)
    print('count', count)
    
    while flag == 0:
        flag = 1
        k = 0
        while k <= (count - 2):
            if rannum[k] < rannum[k + 1]:
                temp = rannum[k]
                rannum[k] = rannum[k + 1]
                rannum[k + 1] = temp
                flag = 0
            k += 1
    print('Sorted List......')
    k = 0
    while k <= (count - 1):
        print (rannum[k])
        k += 1

randint()

Here is the c++ ive been working on:

Code:

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <iostream>
#include <tchar.h>
#include <time.h>
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

// School.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//



using namespace std;
int main()
{
	int rannum[100];
	int count;
	int k;
	int temp;
	int lowest=1, highest=100;
	int range=(highest-lowest)+1;
	int flag;
	int blank;
	srand((unsigned)time(0));
	count;
	while (count != 100) {
		rannum[count] = lowest+int(range*rand()/(RAND_MAX + 1.0));
		count++;
		//cout << rannum;
		//cout << " count " << count << endl;
		// cin >> blank;
	}
	while (flag == 0)
	{
		flag = 1;
		k = 0;
		while (k <= (count - 2))
		{
			if (rannum[k] < rannum[k + 1]) {
				temp = rannum[k];
				rannum[k] = rannum[k + 1];
				rannum[k + 1] = temp;
				flag = 0;
				k++;
			}
		}
		cout << "Sorted List";
		k = 0;
		while (k <= (count - 1))
			{
				cout << rannum[k];
				k++;
            }

	}
	cout << "pause";
	cin >> blank;
	return 0;
}

can anyone give me some pointers

lol wow that would have been nice to know when i was taking my python class the teacher was kinda off his rocker it seemed to me but anyway the python code i got from my college book it was in sudo so i did my best to put it to work one thing i have noticed with the c++ code is it generates the random numbers but im not sure if it is putting them in the right place cuz when it runs it print the memory address and it never changes

So when i was doing python it had a built in help file almost for the language features and modules where you could find different modules to use and how to use them is there anything like that for c++ or what would you guys recommend?

I haven't really done anything like this before, decided to have a go at it:

Code:

#include <algorithm>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

int main()
{
    int count = 0;
    bool flag = false;
    std::vector<int> rannum(100, 0); // Build an array with 1000 spaces

    while (count != 100) // Loop and fill the array with 1-52 in random order
    {
        rannum[count] = 1 + rand() % 500;
        count += 1;
    }

    for (int k = 0; k != count - 1; ++k)
        std::cout << rannum[k] << std::endl;

    std::cout << "count " << count << std::endl;

    while (!flag)
    {
        flag = true;
        
        for (int k = 0; k != count - 2; ++k)
        {
            if (rannum[k] < rannum[k + 1])
            {
                std::swap(rannum[k], rannum[k + 1]);
                flag = false;
            }
        }
    }

    std::cout << "Sorted List......" << std::endl;
    for (int k = 0; k != count - 1; ++k)
        std::cout << rannum[k] << std::endl;
}

If you want different random numbers each time it goes through, add "#include <ctime>" to the list of includes, and add "std::srand(std::time(0));" to the top of main().
