Hey all, I just received a new project involving me having to generate Japanese poems based on input text given from text files. I just am confused on where to start. The pdf file describing what to do is attached and the replit link is attached below:

Hey all, I just received a new project involving me having to generate Japanese ...
what are your current thoughts
fast oar
At the moment, I've read through it and understand it a bit such as what certain numbers in each line of the input should do and the expected output based on said numbers. There's just parts that I really don't get such as the seed, output format and how I run the program with a text file as input
I'll be right back
fast oar
Ok I'm back
I've taken some time to think, I just don't understand what the seed exactly is in the case of the code
And from what I've seen in the case of the starter code, the only things I really need to change are in the main function
And now I'm having trouble understanding how to make the program make spaces when giving out the output
fast oar
what are your current thoughts
At the moment, I'm feeling a bit better but still stumped
fast oar
Yeah, even after some time to think about it, I still feel a bit stumped
quartz kraken
Yeah, even after some time to think about it, I still feel a bit stumped
What code do you have currently?
Code block would be appreciated
Or is the latest version the poems_v1.cpp on that replit?
quartz kraken
And now I'm having trouble understanding how to make the program make spaces whe...
What do you mean by "make spaces"? Do you mean std::cout << foo << " " bar << "\n";?
fast oar
What code do you have currently?
I currently just restarted my code, the one I was using before was not getting me anywhere
fast oar
What do you mean by "make spaces"? Do you mean `std::cout << foo << " " bar << "...
Basically, the spaces as in space given after a certain amount of syllables are used, then a space is used to separate them apart
fast oar
Or is the latest version the poems_v1.cpp on that replit?
Yes it is that exact version
I apologize for the late reply
I attached a pdf with what I have to do
quartz kraken
There's just parts that I really don't get such as the seed
what specifically about the seed would you like explained?
output format
and what about the output format? the PDF seems to give really detailed examples
fast oar
I should have mentioned I found out about the seed most recently
quartz kraken
how I run the program with a text file as input
seems like it's redirected into your program, so your program should read it from stdin
fast oar
Basically the seed is crucial for the algorithm used to determine which lines are used in the array given and then the syllables used in the array
I just had trouble understanding its use before
I haven't had much sleep lately so I've been pretty slow with comprehending what must be done
quartz kraken
if you have any concrete questions with example code, I can try to answer any C/C++ questions you may have
quartz kraken
Basically, the spaces as in space given after a certain amount of syllables are ...
Do you mean newlines?
So what separates my previous sentence from this one?
Aka \n in C and C++?
Or are you just saying that yes you were referring to std::cout << foo << " " bar << "\n";?
fast oar
Or are you just saying that yes you were referring to `std::cout << foo << " " b...
I believe I must have been referring to something like this
quartz kraken
Cool, yeah lmk if you have any more questions
fast oar
I guess the question I have now is how I make it so it reads the text file line by line
quartz kraken
I guess the question I have now is how I make it so it reads the text file line ...
Either with getline(), or using the "extraction operator" >> to read it directly into variables
I recommend the latter in this case
getline() is more for when you want to read a blob of text and turn it into an array of string
fast oar
100
3 5 7 5
1 0
For this, how would I use getline() to take out the 100 and put it as an int variable?
quartz kraken
I recommend in this case just using int foo; std::cin >> foo; in order to put the value into foo
followed by the same line copy-pasted for every next value, with different variable names
fast oar
Ok I've got that handled now
It seems to work for the other inputs for the other text files
How would I check the other lines
Like for example checking each number separately on the line with 3 5 7 5 or the line with 1 0
quartz kraken
wdym by checking
fast oar
Asking since I need the first number on the second line to know how many lines the poem must be, and the numbers that come after it should tell how many syllables should be in each line and are also used in the equation to tell what syllable is used
quartz kraken
well you just read each number into its own int, whether you have a use for all of them or not
fast oar
Like taking note of each number separately so it knows the first one is a 3, the other is a 5 and so on
quartz kraken
so what is the meaning of the 3, the 5, the 7, and then the 5 in that line
describe it so I know you know
try to think of a short description, cause that can be used for variable names
quartz kraken
Asking since I need the first number on the second line to know how many lines t...
shorter than this
fast oar
the 3 is the number of lines in the poem
numbers after the 3 are the number of syllables in each line
quartz kraken
yup, exactly
so you read int line_count; (or int lineCount;, depending on whether you're doing it in snake_case or camelCase), and then you use that int to loop that many times
where inside of the loop, you just read an int syllable_count;/int syllableCount;
you can push these syllable counts into a std::vector, but if you don't actually need to for the rest of the program, I wouldn't do that
fast oar
I keep attempting it but I still am unable to get the other numbers in the other lines
quartz kraken
paste the code into a code block
junior frigateBOT
fast oar
int foo;
cin >> foo;
int too;
cin >> too; //numbers on other row
int choo;
cin >> choo; // number on last line to indicate if we're using caps
int caps = choo;
cout << caps << endl;
int rows = too;
cout << rows << endl;
int seed = foo;
cout << foo << endl
I'm only getting the numbers in the first and second row
Where it says choo is where it's supposed to get the 3rd row, but instead it's getting another number from the second row
quartz kraken
Let's run it:
;compile -Wall -Wextra -Werror -Wpedantic -fsanitize=address,undefined -g
100
3 5 7 5
1 0
#include <iostream>
int main() {
int foo;
std::cin >> foo;
int too;
std::cin >> too; //numbers on other row
int choo;
std::cin >> choo; // number on last line to indicate if we're using caps
int caps = choo;
std::cout << caps << std::endl;
int rows = too;
std::cout << rows << std::endl;
int seed = foo;
std::cout << seed << std::endl;
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
sweet cliffBOT
quartz kraken
```int main() {
int foo;
cin >> foo;
int too;
cin >> too; //numbers on other row...
Note that I changed the code slightly, as you printed foo at the end, while you probably meant to print seed at the end
what is the reasoning behind assigning stuff manually with = in this code? @fast oar
fast oar
That's just the way I've been taught to assign variables
quartz kraken
try copy-pasting my code block, so you can send it as your own message, cause then you can test stuff with it here to your heart's content. if you edit the message, the bot will automatically rerun your code
quartz kraken
That's just the way I've been taught to assign variables
yeah but I mean, right here you're reading a number into choo, and then putting a copy of that value in caps. was that intentional?
int choo;
std::cin >> choo; // number on last line to indicate if we're using caps
int caps = choo;
Yes it was
quartz kraken
okay, but why?
fast oar
I wanted to do something similar to what I did with seed where it went from foo to seed in order to be used in the equation
quartz kraken
right, but what I mean is that if you're just using choo as a placeholder, just do this instead:
int caps;
std::cin >> caps; // number on last line to indicate if we're using caps
do this, it'll be the best way I can walk you through it
fast oar
int main() {
int foo;
cin >> foo;
int rows;
cin >> rows; //numbers on other row
int caps;
cin >> caps; //changed
cout << caps << endl;
cout << rows << endl;
int seed = foo;
cout << foo << endl;
int random_num;
// Seed the RNG
rand_int(seed);
for (int i = 0; i < 15; i++) {
random_num = rand_int();
cout << random_num << " ";
}
cout << endl;
return 0;
}
;compile -Wall -Wextra -Werror -Wpedantic -fsanitize=address,undefined -g
100
3 5 7 5

#include <iostream>
int main() {
int foo;

int rows;
cin >> rows; //numbers on other row
int caps;

cout << caps << endl;
cout << rows << endl;
int seed = foo;
cout << foo << endl;
int random_num;
// Seed the RNG
rand_int(seed);
for (int i = 0; i < 15; i++) {
random_num = rand_int();
cout << random_num << " ";
}
cout << endl;
return 0;
}
good, so now feel free to edit that code, and the bot will automatically rerun it

try to reintroduce the for-loop you sent here
fast oar
I prefer running it on replit
quartz kraken
that's ok, but do consider that others often won't want to take the time to click to a replit link, so it's convenient to view the code right in the conversation
you'll want using namespace std; at the top btw if you don't want to add std:: in front of most lines of your code
fast oar
I did that in the full code, I'm only showing the main function in this case
quartz kraken
yeah, but can you edit it so it compiles, cause the output is valuable too
just copy-paste the entire cpp file you have
fast oar
It says its too long
quartz kraken
ah ok
fast oar
That's why I wanted to use replit since I don't have nitro to send in the full code
quartz kraken
okay, so you first read into an integer called seed
then you read into an integer called line_count, and then you enter a for-loop that loops line_count times, reading one integer every time
and finally you read into a boolean called is_capitalized, and after that into a boolean called is_vertical
fast oar
Yeah
quartz kraken
if you have any specific questions feel free to ask
fast oar
ok
