Declaring References¶

char c; // a character
char *p = &c; // a pointer to a character
char &r = c; // a reference to a character

*， & 可以是标点，也可以是运算符，如 & 在第二行是一个运算符，在第三行是一个标点。
当我们声明引用时，必须有引用的变量。此后，r 相当于是 c 的一个别名。

Example

char c = 'A';
char &r = c;
r = 'B';
cout << "c: " << c << endl;
cout << "b: " << b << endl;

此时我们发现两行的输出都是 B.

Local or global variables
- type& refname = name;
- For ordinary variables, the initial value is required.
In parameter lists and member variables
- type& refname
- Binding defined by caller or constructor
  函数只有在调用时，参数才能绑定。
```
void f ( int& x );
f(y); // initialized when function is called
```
  这样可以实现函数对函数外变量的值的修改。

const int& z = x; 这里的 const 是对引用的限制，表示我们不能写 z, 但 x 依然是可写的。

void f(int &x)
{
    x++;
}
int main()
{
    int a = 51;
    cout << "a=" << a << endl;
    f(a);
    cout << "a=" << a << endl;
}

我们可以看到 a 的值经过函数调用后值自增一，这表明函数可以对参数的值进行修改。

The target of a reference must have a location!
即右值不能用于引用绑定。

void func(int &);
func (i * 3); // Warning or error!

Pointers vs. References

References
- can't be null
- are dependent on an existing variable, they are an alias for an variable
- can't change to a new "address" location
Pointers
- can be set to null
- pointer is independent of existing objects
- can change to point to a different address

实际上, C++ 内部实现引用也是通过指针，只是限制这个指针只能指向初始化的变量。

Restrictions

No references to references
No pointers to references
Reference to pointer is ok
No arrays of references

Container¶

Collection objects are objects that can store an arbitrary number of other objects.

在 C++ 中，容器在 STL 中。

STL = Standard Template Library
Part of the ISO Standard C++ Library
Data Structures and algorithms for C++.

Why should I use STL?

Reduce development time.
Data-structures already written and debugged.
Code readability
- Fit more meaningful stuff on one page.
Robustness
STL data structures grow automatically.
Portable code.
Maintainable code
Easy

Library includes

A pair class (pairs of anything, int/int, int/char, etc)
containers
- vector (expandable array)
- deque (expandable array, expands at both ends)
- list (double-linked)
- sets and maps
Basic Algorithms (sort, search, etc)
All identifiers in library are in std namespace: using namespace std;

Vector¶

每个容器是一个头文件，需要 include. 如 #include<vector>.

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
int main( ) {
    // Declare a vector of ints (no need to worry about size)
    vector<int> x;
    // Add elements
    for (int a=0; a<1000; a++)
    x.push_back(a);
    // Have a pre-defined iterator for vector class, can use it to print out the items in vector
    vector<int>::iterator p;
    for (p=x.begin(); p<x.end(); p++)
    cout << *p << " ";
    return 0;
}

这是泛型定义 (generic classes)，我们需要指定vector 和 vector 内的元素类型。（vector<int> x）
vector<int>::iterator 是一个类型。实际上 p 不是一个指针，这里利用了 C++ 的运算符重载。

今天有语法糖（C++11）

for (auto i:x) {
    cout << i << " ";
}

auto 的意思是类型自动推断。这里会从 x 中依次取出一个值，随后放到 i 里去。

vector

It is able to increase its internal capacity as required: as more items are added, it simply makes enough room for them.
It keeps its own private count of how many items it is currently storing. Its size method returns the number of objects currently stored in it.
It maintains the order of items you insert into it. You can later retrieve them in the same order.

Basic Vector Operations¶

Constructor
- vector<Elem>c;
- vector<Elem>c1(c2);
Simple Methods
- V.size(); // num items
- V.empty(); // empty?
- ==, !=, <, >, <=, >=
- V.swap(v2); // swap
Iterators
- I.begin() // first position
- I.end() // last position
Element access
- V.at(index)
- V[index]
- V.front() // first item
- V.back() // last item
Add/Remove/Find
- V.push_back(e)
- V.pop_back()
- V.insert(pos, e)
- V.erase(pos)
- V.clear()
- V.find(first, last, item)

Two ways to use vector 可以预先分配，但增长只能用 push_back.

List Class¶

Same basic concepts as vector

Constructors
Ability to compare lists (==, !=, < , <=, > , >=)
Ability to access front and back of list

x.push_back(item)
x.push_front(item)
x.pop_back()
x.pop_front()
x.remove(item)

Sample List Application

#include <iostream>
#include <list>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    list<string>s;
    s.push_back("hello");
    s.push_back("world");
    s.push_front("tide");
    s.push_front("crimson");
    s.push_front("alabama");
    list<string>iterator:: p;
    for (p=s.begin(); p!=s.end(); p++)
        cout << *p << " ";
    cout << endl;
}

这里是 p!=s.end() 因为列表每个空间是动态分配的，后申请的空间不能保证在先申请的空间后面。对 vector 来说空间是连续的。

Example

list<int> L;
for(int i=1; i<=5; ++i)
L.push_back(i);
//delete second item.
L.erase( ++L.begin() );
copy( L.begin(), L.end(),ostream_iterator<int>(cout,",")); //Prints: 1,3,4,5,

Maps¶

Maps are collections that contain pairs of values.
Pairs consist of a key and a value.
Lookup works by supplying a key, and retrieving a value.

#include <map>

map<long,int> root;
root[4] = 2;
root[1000000] = 1000;
long l;
cin >> l;
if (root.count(l))
    cout<<root[l]
else cout<<“Not perfect square”;

Iterators¶

Declaring
list<int>::iterator li;
Front of container
list<int>L;li = L.begin();
Past the end
li = L.end();

Can increment

list<int>::iterator li; list<int> L;
li=L.begin();
++li; // Second thing;

Can be dereferenced
*li = 10;

for-each loop¶

A for-each loop iterates over the elements of arrays, vectors, or any other data sets. It assigns the value of the current element to the variable iterator declared inside the loop.

for(type variable_name : array/vector_name) {
    loop statements
    ...
}

for-each loop 每轮拿到的是容器里的值，因此我们不能修改容器里的值，只能读。

Example

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    int arr[]={1,2,3,4,5}; //array initialization
    cout<<"The elements are: ";
    for(int i : arr) // auto
    {
        cout<<i<<" ";
    }
return 0;
}

也可以使用 auto 自动推断。

写起来简单，不需要预先初始化迭代器。
缺点是不能获得下标，也不能逆序遍历，也不能跳过某个单元，不能修改容器的值。

如果觉得名字很长，可以用 typedef. e.g. typedef PB map<Name,list<PhoneNum> >;

Warning

The type in containers

vector<Student> v1;
vector<Student&> v2;
vector<Student*> v3;

v1.push_back(x) 会拷贝 x, 拷贝后 vector 里最后一个元素的值和 x 相同，但二者没有关系。
v2.push_back(x) 会生成一个 x 的引用。

while () {
    Student s;
    cin >> ...
    v.push_back(s);
}

实际上这个循环中 s 作为本地变量，地址是不变的，如果我们采取后面两种定义 vector 的方法，最后 vector 中每个元素都是一样的。
后面两种定义方法内存开销小，但易出错。

Pitfalls

Accessing an invalid
```
vector<int> v;
v[100]=1; // Whoops!
```
Solutions
- use push_back()
- Preallocate with constructor.
- Reallocate with reserve()
- Check capacity()
Inadvertently inserting into map<>
```
if (foo["bob"]==1)
//silently created entry “bob”
```
Solutions: Use count() to check for a key without creating a new entry. if ( foo.count("bob") )

DO not use empty() on list<>

if ( my_list.count() == 0 ) { ... } // Slow
if ( my_list.empty() ) {...} // Fast

Use invalid iterator

list<int> L;
list<int>::iterator li;
li = L.begin();
L.erase(li);
++li; // WRONG
// Use return value of erase to advance
li = L.erase(li); // RIGHT
