I am trying to make my array have a size of a non-constant value. The size should be defined by the "test.txt" file that gets the information from. For example, if the txt file has 10 numbers then the array should be in size of 10. I tried using vectors but I couldn't make it work. Any help would be much appreciated. Here is the code below:
#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>
#include<sstream>
#include<string>
#include<vector>
#include<cstdlib>
using namespace std;
/* Function to print an array
A int[]: an array of n element
n int; length of an array
*/
void displayList(float A[], int n)
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
cout << A[i] << ", ";
cout << endl;
}
/*
Insertion Sort function
A int[]: an array of n element
n int; length of an array
*/
void insertionSort(float A[], int n)
{
int i, j;
float key;
for (i = 1; i < n; i++)
{
key = A[i];// take key
j = i - 1;
/* Move elements of arr[0..i-1], that are
greater than key, to one position ahead
of their current position */
while (j >= 0 && A[j] > key)
{
A[j + 1] = A[j]; // move element to next postion
j = j - 1; // reduce index of j - go backward in the array
}
std::cout << "Step key at i = " << i << ": [" << key << "] inserted at j = " << j + 1 << "
position -> ";
A[j + 1] = key; // at j+1 th position we place the key
displayList(A, n);
}
};
ifstream input("test.txt"); //put your program together with thsi file in the same folder.
int main() {
int const ARRAY_SIZE = 9;
float A[ARRAY_SIZE];
string line;
ifstream inFile;
int i = 0, cnt = 0;
float n;
inFile.open("test.txt");
if (!inFile) {
cout << "Unable to open file";
exit(1); // terminate with error
}
while (!inFile.eof()) {
getline(inFile, line);
n = atof(line.c_str());
cnt++;
}
int cnt;
cin >> cnt;
vector<float> A(cnt);
inFile.close();
inFile.open("test.txt");
if (!inFile) {
cout << "Unable to open file";
exit(1); // terminate with error
}
while (!inFile.eof()) {
getline(inFile, line);
n = atof(line.c_str());
A[cnt++] = n;
}
inFile.close();
n = sizeof(A) / sizeof(A[0]);
cout << "insertionSort: \n";
cout << "Unsorted array: ";
displayList(A, n);
insertionSort(A, n);
std::cout << "Sorted array: ";
displayList(A, n);
}
