part of a homework .
I got a lek in this code when using string for parsing
I do not 'have' to use string.. it just seemed comfortable
input is of the form 2*x**6+term+term+...
[ full source code availabe if that helps ]
#include <string>
//possibly causes memleak - try switching to c string
Polynomial::Polynomial(char* poly):_head(NULL){
string s = poly;
s = "+" + s;
double cof;
int exp;
int chars;
unsigned int index = 0;
while (index != string::npos){
s = s.substr(index+1);
chars = sscanf(s.c_str(),"%lf *x** %d",&cof,&exp);
if (chars == 2){
insert(cof,exp);
} else {
cout<<"Wrong Format!";
break;
}
index = s.find_first_of("+",index);
}
}
