AI Thread Summary
To replace the `stoi` function in a C++ program when the compiler does not support C++11, users can utilize `stringstream` to convert strings to integers. The discussion highlights the importance of correctly extracting the substring before conversion. The correct approach involves creating a temporary string variable to hold the substring, then using a `stringstream` to convert that string to an integer. An example is provided where a substring is extracted, stored in a variable, and then processed through a `stringstream` to achieve the desired integer conversion. The conversation also notes that the `stoi` function is part of C++11, and if the compiler does not recognize it, using `stringstream` is a viable alternative. Users express uncertainty about integrating this solution into their existing code, indicating a need for further clarification on implementation.

What can I use to replace stoi since the homework program won't accept it? I'm trying to read a string and display it as an integer. I know I have to use stringstream but have no idea how.
Code:
//ReadData.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <sstream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <stdlib.h>

using namespace std;

int main() {
   
   

    //Define the required variables

    string title, head1, head2, s;
   vector<string> data;

   vector<int> point;

    //Prompt and read the title of the data

    cout << "Enter a title for the data: " << endl;

    getline(cin, title);

    cout << "You entered: " << title << endl;
    cout << endl;

    //Prompt and read the headers of two columns

    cout << "Enter the column 1 header: " << endl;

    getline(cin, head1);

    cout << "You entered: " << head1 << endl;
    
        cout << endl;    cout << "Enter the column 2 header: " << endl;

    getline(cin, head2);

    cout << "You entered: " << head2 << endl;
        cout << endl;    //Use while loop to read the data points until user enters -1

    while (1) {

         cout << "Enter a data point (-1 to stop input): " << endl;

         getline(cin, s);

         if (s == "-1") {

             break;

         }

         if (s.find(',') == -1) {

             cout << "Error: No comma in string." << endl;
               cout << endl;
         }

         else {

             int count = 0;

             for (int i = 0; i<s.length(); i++) {

                 if (s.at(i) == ',') {

                      count++;

                      if (count > 1) {

                          break;

                      }

                 }

             }

             //If the input have single ',', then display the data string and data integer

             if (count == 1) {

                 data.push_back(s.substr(0, s.find(',')));

               point.push_back(stoi(s.substr(s.find(',') + 1, s.length() - 1)));

                 cout << "Data string: " << s.substr(0, s.find(',')) << endl;
         

                 cout << "Data integer: 6" << stoi.s.substr(s.find(',') + 1, s.length() - 1) << endl;
                  cout << endl;
             }

             else {

                 //Display the appropriate error message

                 cout << "Error: Too many commas in input." << endl;
                  cout << endl;
             }

         }

    }

    //Display the data in the required format

    cout << "\t" << title << "\t" << endl;

    cout << head1 << "\t|\t" << head2 << endl;

    for (int i = 0; i<data.size(); i++) {

         cout << data[i] << "\t|\t" << point[i] << endl;

    }

    for (int i = 0; i<data.size(); i++) {

         cout << data[i] << " ";

         for (int j = 0; j<point[i]; j++) {

             cout << "*";

         }

         cout << endl;

    }

    

    return 0;

}
 
Technology news on Phys.org
As I could see you've used stoi incorrectly.. are you sure it's not
Code:
stoi(substr(...))
You've used
Code:
stoi.substr(...)

stoi - C++ Reference
If you want to use string streams,

Code:
string tempstring = substring(...);
int tempint;

stringstream strstream;

strstream << tempstring;
strstream >> tempint;
 
I changed that and I still get this error apparently the compiler is not up to date with c++11 and doesn't recognizes 'stoi', how can I add the stringstream to my code. It would be a great help if you could show me. Thanks.main.cpp:97:78: error: 'stoi' was not declared in this scope
point.push_back(stoi(s.substr(s.find(',') + 1, s.length() - 1)));
 
Oh yeah std::stoi is a c++11 feature so unless your complier doesn't support c++11 you won't be able to use it. I have given you an example on how to use the stringstream, is there anything not clear about it?
 
Yea I think I get it but i just don't know how or where to added to my code lol
 
Thread 'Star maps using Blender'
Blender just recently dropped a new version, 4.5(with 5.0 on the horizon), and within it was a new feature for which I immediately thought of a use for. The new feature was a .csv importer for Geometry nodes. Geometry nodes are a method of modelling that uses a node tree to create 3D models which offers more flexibility than straight modeling does. The .csv importer node allows you to bring in a .csv file and use the data in it to control aspects of your model. So for example, if you...
I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
I am trying to run an .ipynb file and have installed Miniconda as well as created an environment as such -conda create -n <env_name> python=3.7 ipykernel jupyter I am assuming this is successful as I can activate this environment via the anaconda prompt and following command -conda activate <env_name> Then I downloaded and installed VS code and I am trying to edit an .ipynb file. I want to select a kernel, via VS Code but when I press the button on the upper right corner I am greeted...
