C++ Hexadecimal Calculator Multiplication
Question
I'm having issues where my multiplication method is only handling one row, it's currently not advancing to the next row. The add function is working properly, and I'm able to update the current hex number, but for some reason I can only get one line of multiplication to work.
Example input:
111# * 333# = 333
123# * 123# = 369
Here is the code in question:
LList* Calculator::multiply(LList& left, LList& right) {
int product, carry = 0, lval = 0, rval = 0, zeros = 0;
bool calculating = true;
listnode *leftNode;
vector <LList*> addList;
listnode *rightNode;
LList* newHex;
while(calculating) {
leftNode = left.next();
if(leftNode == NULL) {
break;
}
else {
lval = leftNode->data;
}
//leftNode = left.next();
right.reset();
if(leftNode == NULL) {
calculating = false;
if(carry != 0) {
//newHex->insertTail(carry);
}
lval = 0;
break;
}
LList* curList = new LList;
addList.push_back(curList);
while(rightNode != NULL) {
// Add however zeros we need for
// each entry based on the zero counter
for(int i = 0; i < zeros; i++) {
curList->insertTail(0);
}
rightNode = right.next();
if(rightNode == NULL) {
}
else {
rval = rightNode->data;
product = lval * rval + carry;
carry = 0;
if(product >= 16) {
carry = (product / 16);
product = (product % 16);
}
curList->insertTail(product);
}
}
zeros++;
}
Calculator calc;
LList* temp;
// Add up everything in the addList
for(int i = 0; i < addList.size() - 1; i++) {
if(temp == NULL)
temp = calc.add(*addList[i], *addList[i+1]);
else
temp = calc.add(*addList[i+1], *temp);
}
newHex = temp;
// Delete it
for(int i = 0; i < addList.size(); i++) {
}
return newHex;
};
Here is the next method:
listnode* LList::next() {
listnode* temp = view;
if(temp != NULL)
view = view->next;
if(view == NULL) {
}
return temp;
};

The first evaluation of while(rightNode != NULL) uses an uninitialized value for rightNode , which happens to be non-NULL when you run the program. After this check, before it is dereferenced, rightNode is set to a valid node pointer value from right.next() . But for the next left digit, rightnode is still NULL from the previous loop, because it is not updated after right.reset() , so for every digit after the first, while(rightNode != NULL) always starts off with rightNode set to NULL, so all loops after the first one are skipped.
Once this is fixed, another bug will be exposed: zeros are added to curList inside the right-digit loop, so the zeros get added whenever a right-digit is processed. Instead the zeros should be added before the right-digit loop, after curList is created within the left-digit loop.
There is another bug (I think) -- after the right-digit loop ends, any carry value is not added to the last digit of curList -- instead it gets saved for the beginning of the next right-digit loop. This might be intentional, but I don't think it will always end up in the correct digit position (but maybe I'm wrong on this point -- I haven't dedicated much thought to the possibilities).
For debugging your problem, I had to duplicate your code, fill in missing parts and fix the bugs. Also, there were some style issues which are not actual mistakes or bugs, but are known to promote problems. So here are changes I made to my version for testing:
LList contains a stateful iterator (
view) accessed withnext()andreset(). In the future, multiple sections of your code might want to iterate over the same LList, at the same time, but they will not be able to share the single iteration state held by the LList object. Iterator objects solve this problem.Use of raw pointers in "user" code: Pointer manipulation should be avoided, if possible, or restricted to "library" code -- like within the LList object. There is no need to handle pointers inside the Calculator class.
Variables should be declared inside the innermost scope required for their use. The code's first problem, where
rightNodewas carrying a value over from a previous loop, could not have happened if this style point was being followed.There was no need to keep a vector (
addList) of terms to sum up at the end of the function. My version keeps a running sum as theLListnamedprodSum.
Here is my version of the code, including my own LList and Calculator::add, because you did not make those available. Note that LList works with iterators here, not a view member. My iterators can be "dereferenced" when at their end position, giving a zero. This was done for convenience, because an infinite string of high-order zeros above the highest digit is implied for any value:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
struct listnode {
int data;
listnode *next;
listnode(int data=0) : data(data), next(0) {}
};
class LList {
listnode *head, *tail; // head is least significant end
void delNodes() {
listnode* node = head;
while(node) {
listnode* todel = node;
node = node->next;
delete todel;
}
head = tail = 0;
}

for(auto it = digits.rbegin(); it != digits.rend(); ++it) {

else if(*it >= 'a' && *it <= 'f') insertTail(*it - 'a' + 10);
else if(*it >= 'A' && *it <= 'F') insertTail(*it - 'A' + 10);
} }
LList(const LList& src) : head(0), tail(0) {
for(int data : src) { insertTail(data); }
}
~LList() { delNodes(); }
LList& operator = (const LList& src) {
delNodes();

}
