I am trying to set a variable to the value of an element of a 2D array. This should be easy, but whenever I write it I get 0 in the variable. I read in a file to put in the array elements manually, which might be causing the problem, but I am not sure what's wrong.
Here is my code:
int main(){
//declaring all the variables
vector < vector <double> > data; // vector of vectors to hold the data.
int z=0;
int z1,z2;
//open the input file as an input file stream (ifstream)
ifstream dataFile;
dataFile.open( "GBplaces.csv" );
//if the file is open...
if (dataFile.is_open()) {
// and while it's not the end of the file...
while (!dataFile.eof() ){
z++;
if (z==1){
string aLine;
getline ( dataFile, aLine );
printf ("place, type, population, lattitude, longitude \n\n");
}
else if(z==102){
string aLine;
getline ( dataFile, aLine );
}
else {
//read in a line of the file and put the ontents into the arays.
string aLine; // hold the read in line
getline ( dataFile, aLine ); //reads line from dataFile to aLine
//split up the string aLine based on where the comma is
int comma;
int nextCom=0;
//comma_pos = aLine.find(',',0); //finds where the comma is, starting from the begining ie 0
string xst, yst, zst; //temp variables for column
vector <double> temp; // tempory vector for the points
double xt, yt, zt;
comma = aLine.find(',',0); //find first position of comma
xst = aLine.substr(0,comma); // extracts string subvalue
temp.push_back(atof(xst.c_str())); //add value to end of temporary vector
comma += 1; // add 1 to the comma position count
while (aLine.find(',',comma) != -1) {
// find middle values
if(aLine==""){}
else{
nextCom = aLine.find(',',comma);
yst = aLine.substr(comma, nextCom - comma);
temp.push_back(atof(yst.c_str())); //convert string into double and add it to the end of the vector
comma = nextCom + 1;
}
}
// same calculations as in the loop but for the last value after the comma
zst = aLine.substr(nextCom + 1, aLine.length());
temp.push_back(atof(zst.c_str()));
// push temporary vector onto data vector
data.push_back(temp);
}
}
}
z = data[3][3].
When I run the program I get z=0, although when I print the table, the element is 51.26.
