[C++] Fun Excercise

[TheBuzzSaw]

Here is your starting code.

Code: Select all

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class Blargh
{
    public:
        Blargh()
        {
            mIndex = index++;
            cout << spaces << mIndex << " is born!\n";
            *spaceUpdate++ = ' ';
        }

        ~Blargh()
        {
            *--spaceUpdate = '\0';
            cout << spaces << mIndex << " dies!\n";
        }

    private:
        static size_t index;
        static char spaces[128];
        static char* spaceUpdate;
        size_t mIndex;
};

size_t Blargh::index = 0;
char Blargh::spaces[128] = {};
char* Blargh::spaceUpdate = spaces;

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    // ???

    return 0;
}

Here is your target output.

Code: Select all

0 is born!
 1 is born!
  2 is born!
   3 is born!
    4 is born!
     5 is born!
      6 is born!
       7 is born!
        8 is born!
        8 dies!
       7 dies!
      6 dies!
      9 is born!
       10 is born!
       10 dies!
      9 dies!
     5 dies!
    4 dies!
   3 dies!
  2 dies!
 1 dies!

I don't know why it won't render properly, but the second row onward (starting with "1 is born!") should be indented by one more space.

Write the code for main. Good luck.

This is kids' stuff. Also, I'm presuming you accidentally left out he "0 dies!":

Code: Select all

int main() {
    Blargh a;
    {
        Blargh b,c,d,e,f;
        {
            Blargh g,h,i;
        }
        {
            Blargh g,h;
        }
    }
    exit(0);
}

7 lines of code added to main.
EDIT: redid it because apparently the 0 isn't supposed to die. Also, I didn't know exit() ignored deconstruction

Why does every thread I touch begins a flame war?

I think you need to look up the definition of flaming.

Because your presence makes people rage with fury. (Now that's flaming)
You don't know me, so just be aware that I'm joking, and I have nothing (so far) against you.

I bet it was a start....

Oh but I do know you.
1- Why throw half a pizza out?
2- I like your new furniture.

And sounds like my sense of humor....could be the reason behing the flame wars....
