Im trying to print the "J" in initial = dotmatrix.dotJ("J") - python-3.x

I have a project where I build a dotmatrix module and then import it into another program that will print out my initials. I have it done to the point where it will print out my initials, but it won't print the "J" in the
initial = dotmatrix.dotJ("J")
It will just print the "*". I have defined in my module:
def dotJ(char):
"""Creates a capital J in 7 x 7 dots"""
dotJ = " * \n"
dotJ += " * \n"
dotJ += " * \n"
dotJ += " * \n"
dotJ += " * * \n"
dotJ += " * * \n"
dotJ += " *** \n"
return dotJ
where I have the *, I want it to print out whatever is called for in the
initial = dotmatrix.dotJ("J")

A simple way would be to define your dotJ variable with a star and then replace the star with the character:
def dotJ(char):
"""Creates a capital J in 7 x 7 dots"""
dotJ = " * \n"
dotJ += " * \n"
dotJ += " * \n"
dotJ += " * \n"
dotJ += " * * \n"
dotJ += " * * \n"
dotJ += " *** \n"
dotJ = dotJ.replace("*",char)
return dotJ
You could also use a format string. But I suspect this would be less easy to read.

Different output on different format of adding a new char to string

#include<iostream>
#include<string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string name[] = {"Geeks ", "for", "Geeks"} ;
string v,s ;
v += name[0][0] + "." ;
cout << v << "\n" ;
s += name[0][0] ;
s += "." ;
cout << s << "\n" ;
}
On outputting:
string v outputs a garbage string while string s outputs G.
Output :
# // output of string v
G. // output of string s
Why does v give out a garbage value even though I'm appending '.' to the new string ?
Kindly explain both the cases.
Clang will complain about:
v += name[0][0] + "." ;
with a message like:
warning: adding 'std::...' (aka 'char') to a string does not append to the string [-Wstring-plus-int]
In other words, string + "chars" does not append the chars to the string, and so you need to create the string manually:
v += name[0][0] + string(".") ;

Print statement does not concatenate strings and variables in Python 3

Why the following code returns an exception in the last line?
print(m)
print(b)
print(r)
print(p)
print(se)
print("m: " + m + "\n" + "b: " + b + "\n" + "r: " + r + "\n" + "p " + p + "\n" + "se " + se)

Try casting the variables as strings for the print function.

perl index skips search value

I am writing a program that is heavily dependent on the perl's index function to take strings. My objective so to break this string into a series of substrings that do not have any spaces.
The problem that I am having is that in the second half of the loop the index function starts skipping spaces.
I am using the test data:
1 12 a 2 5 P Q
I am expecting to get:
1, 12, a, 2, 5, P, Q,
Instead I get:
1, 12, a, 2 5, P Q,
My code follows:
use 5.010;
use strict;
use warnings;
my $ivalue = <stdin>;
chomp($ivalue);
$ivalue = $ivalue . " ";
my $current;
my $space = 0;
my $safespace = 0;
my $lastspace = 0;
my $closestspace = 0;
my $i = 0;
# Test data - 1 12 a 2 5 P Q
while ($space != -1){
$space = index($ivalue, " ", $space + $i++);
$closestspace = $space - $lastspace;
#print $lastspace . " " . $space . " = " . $closestspace . "; ";
$current = substr($ivalue, $lastspace, $closestspace);
#say "substring = " . $current;
$lastspace = $space + 1;
}
Thanks ahead of time! If anyone has any suggestion on how to improve the way I asked my question or on my code in general those are appreciated as well.
The problem is in this line:
$space = index($ivalue, " ", $space + $i++);
instead of using $i, make that $space + 1

You'll have to decide if this is memory efficient: it does have to store data from all files in arrays before printing the table.
Required GNU awk
gawk '
# base file: store keys (and line numbers for output ordering)
FILENAME == ARGV[1] {key[$0] = FNR; next}
# 1st check: if key appears in base, store result as pass
FILENAME == ARGV[2] {
k = $2
gsub(/\//, " ", k)
if (k in key) pass1[k] = 1
}
# 2nd check: if key appears in base, store result as pass
FILENAME == ARGV[3] {
if ( match($0, /([0-9]+)._([0-9]+)_([0-9]+)\.dat/, m) ) {
k = m[1] " " m[2] " " m[3]
if (k in key) pass2[k] = 1
}
next
}
# print the result table
END {
PROCINFO["sorted_in"] = "#val_num_asc" # traverse array by line number
for (k in key) {
printf "%s\t%s\t%s\n", k \
, (k in pass1 ? "passed" : "failed") \
, (k in pass2 ? "passed" : "failed")
}

Based on #glenn jackman's suggestion, I could solve my problem
gawk '
# Store key for 1st check
FILENAME == ARGV[1] {
k = $2
gsub(/\//, " ", k)
key_first[k];next

k = m[1] " " m[2] " " m[3]
key_second[k];
}
next
}
# base file: do check on both 1st and 2nd check
FILENAME == ARGV[3] {
if($2>256) {
first=$1 " " $2 "_" ($2%256) " " $3

Using getline in an implementation file while the istream is in the main

I need to use the function getline to be able to read in the spaces within a string. Currently, I'm reading word by word and any space will input the next word into a different variable. A small extract of the code is as below.
istream & operator >>( istream & input, Unit & C )
{
input >> C.unID >> C.unName >> C.credits >> C.Result >> C.mDay >> C.mMonth >> C.mYear;
return input;
}
ostream & operator <<( ostream & os, const Unit & C )
{
os << " Unit ID: " << C.unID << '\n';
os << " Unit Name: " << C.unName << '\n'
<< " Credits: " << C.credits << '\n'
<< " Result: " << C.Result << " marks" << '\n'
<< " Date: " << C.mDay << " " << C.mMonth << " " << C.mYear << '\n';
return os;
}
Note that I only need getline for unName.
As for the infile, it's in my main.cpp. Code are as below.
ifstream infile( "rinput.txt" );
if( !infile ) return -1;
Student R;
infile >> R;
ofstream ofile( "routput.txt" );
ofile << R
<< "Number of units = " << R.GetCount() << '\n'
<< "Total credits = " << R.GetCredits() << '\n';
The code works fine and all.
If I understand what you are trying to do, the issue is not with your code but with how you organize your input. In your code, if you have Unit::unName contain spaces while all other fields of Unit do not contain spaces, you need to parse your line yourself. The input has to be formatted properly. For example, if you use a delimiter such as ',' in your input file/stdin that does not appear in any valid unName or unId etc., you can use
istream & operator >>( istream & input, Unit & C ) {
input >> C.unID; getline(input,C.unName,','); input >> C.credits; ...
}
instead of,
istream & operator >>( istream & input, Unit & C )
{
input >> C.unID >> C.unName >> C.credits >> C.Result >> C.mDay >> C.mMonth >> C.mYear;
return input;
}
In above, the overloaded form istream& getline (istream& is, string& str, char delim); uses a delimiter such as ',' or '\t' to replace the default \n. You need to use format your input lines with delimiters because otherwise program will not be able to tell if 200 in
1 John Smith 200
should be part of the unName field or the credits field.
So, you can change this to
1, John Smith, 200, ...
and use ',' as the delimiter or change input to
1
John Smith
200
...
and use the default '\n' as the delimiter.
