Figured it out...I need to have
p = for_each(aMap.begin(), aMap.end(), p);
No better feeling then figuring out your own problem!
Question
So essentially what my program does is read in a data stream of words, and count the occurrence of each word, and the total number of unique words. It will will read them into a map. My program works perfectly except for one problem...when I call p.print()
, the value for total
is still at 0. There seems to be some problem where total is incremented in the for_each statement, but when I p.print, it acts as if was never incremented...My print function is defined as follows:
void print_words(const map<string,int> &aMap) {
PRN p(aMap.size());
for_each(aMap.begin(), aMap.end(), p);
p.print();
}
I have a class that is in charge of processing each word, here is the definition:
//CLASS PRN FUNCTIONS
// constructor
PRN::PRN(const int& s, const int& c, const int& t) {
sz=s;
cnt=c;
total=t;
}
// overloaded operator, where P is defined as
// typedef pair < string, int > P;
void PRN::operator()(const P& p) {
if(cnt%NO_ITEMS == 0 && cnt != 0)
cout << '\n';
cout << setw(ITEM_W) << left << p.first << " : " << setw(NO_W) << left << p.second;
total += p.second;
cnt++;
}
// to printout final value of total
void PRN::print() const {
cout << '\n' << '\n';
cout << "no of words in input stream : " << total << endl;
cout << "no of words in output stream : " << sz << endl;
}
Solution
