======Chapter.8====== Answers for chapter 8 ---- ==ex.8.1== >Exercise 8.1: Write a function that takes and returns an istream&. The function should read the stream until it hits end-of-file. The function should print what it reads to the standard output. Reset the stream so that it is valid before returning the stream. std::istream& reader(std::istream& is) { std::string word; while(is >> word) { std::cout << word << std::endl; } is.clear(); return is; } ==ex.8.2== >Exercise 8.2: Test your function by calling it, passing cin as an argument.

What changes would you need to make if record were defined outside that loop? Rewrite the program, moving the definition of record outside the while, and see whether you thought of all the changes that are needed. The program will print either nothing or whatever string "line" has by default.\\ \\ The istringstream object defined in a loop is a temporary object. It is created, destroyed and bound to the newest line from the input each loop. That allows us to bind an isstringstream object to every line of the outer loop, then print every element in the line. If we choose to move the object definition out of the outer loop, it will be bound to the default, empty string "line" and will print out nothing(or default value in that string). The contents added to the "line" afterward through the getline function will not affect the result. /* test result */ //input aaa 111 bbb 222 ccc 333 ddd 444 //output, the string line has default value "Hello word." Hello word. CODE: [[https://github.com/CodingHare/Book_Solutions/blob/master/CppPrimer_5th/ch8/ex_8_11.cc|Q.1]] ==ex.8.12== >Exercise 8.12: Why didn’t we use in-class initializers in PersonInfo? The //Personalinfo// class has two members, a //string// type member and a //vector// type member. Both members can provide a safe default value. Hence, there is no need to specify initializers for them. ==ex.8.13== >Exercise 8.13: Rewrite the phone number program from this section to read from a named file rather than from cin. CODE: [[https://github.com/CodingHare/Book_Solutions/blob/master/CppPrimer_5th/ch8/ex_8_13.cc|Q.1]] ==ex.8.14== >Exercise 8.14: Why did we declare entry and nums as const auto &? * Adding const: Modifications are no needed for entry and nums. * Adding reference: Passing a string with a reference is more efficient.
