Ok firstly I want to show you my code here:
Trader.h file
const int NumSeller = 1;
const int NumBuyer = 1;
const int NumBids = 10;
const int MinQuantity = 1;
const int MaxQuantity = 30;
const int MinPrice =50;
const int MaxPrice = 100;
class Trader {
private:
int bidID;
int traderID;
char type;
int quantity;
int price;
public:
void buy();
void sell();
string storeBids();
};
void Trader :: buy() {
struct Trader bids[NumBids + 1];
for(int x = 0; x < NumBids; x++)
{
traderID=0;
type = 'B';
bids[x].quantity = ((rand() % MaxQuantity) + MinQuantity);
bids[x].price = ((rand() % MaxPrice - MinPrice) + MinPrice);
};
for(int i = 0; i < NumBids; i++)
{
cout << "(" << bidID++ << ", " << traderID << ", " << type << ", " <<
bids[i].quantity << ", " << bids[i].price << ")" << endl;
};
};
void Trader :: sell() {
struct Trader bids[NumBids + 1];
for(int x = 0; x < NumBids; x++)
{
traderID=1;
type = 'A';
bids[x].quantity = ((rand() % MaxQuantity) + MinQuantity);
bids[x].price = ((rand() % MaxPrice - MinPrice) + MinPrice);
};
for(int i = 0; i < NumBids ; i++)
{
cout << "(" << bidID++ << ", " << traderID << ", " << type << ", " <<
bids[i].quantity << ", " << bids[i].price << ")" << endl;
};
};
string Trader :: storeBids() {
stringstream stream;
stream << "(" << bidID << ", " << traderID << ", " << type << ", " <<
bids[i].quantity << ", " << bids[i].price << ")" << endl;
return stream.str();
}and Auctioneer.h file
class Auctioneer {
private:
Trader trader;
stringstream stream;
public:
void receiveBids;
void displayBids(stringstream);
void run();
};
Auctioneer auctioneer;
void Auctioneer :: run() {
trader.storeBids();
auctioneer.receiveBids(trade.storeBids());
}
void displayBids(stringstream stream) {
stream.str();
}and the MAIN.cpp file
int main() {
Auctioneer auctioneer;
auctioneer.run();
system("pause");
return 0;
}The Trader.h file one can run properly (without Auctioneer.h) and they output like that:
(0, 0, B, 12, 67)
(1, 0, B, 5, 0)
(2, 0, B, 30, 24)
(3, 0, B, 19, 58)
(4, 0, B, 23, 64)
(5, 0, B, 6, 45)
(6, 0, B, 2, 27)
(7, 0, B, 2, 91)
(8, 0, B, 26, 42)
(9, 0, B, 28, 36)
(10, 1, A, 22, 4)
(11, 1, A, 3, 53)
(12, 1, A, 23, 82)
(13, 1, A, 22, 16)
(14, 1, A, 9, 95)
(15, 1, A, 18, 26)
(16, 1, A, 12, 38)
(17, 1, A, 10, 12)
(18, 1, A, 18, 99)
(19, 1, A, 26, 94)
But I created the Auctioneer file as I wanted that program file to collect the information from Trader (like the output one) but it has alot of error. I want both Trader.h and Auctioneer.h to be able to communicate with each other. Like the Auctioneer need to store the bids from Trader, without a text file at all, and so Auctioneer will match the bids (don't worry about that yet).
