Posted: Wed Aug 07, 2013 11:10 pm Post subject: Operator overloading not resulting in the expected value |
|
|
I have this code: Code: | point intersection = viewRay.origin + t * viewRay.dir; |
Here operator overloading is used in two cases, in the multiplication between t and viewRay.dir and between viewRay.origin and the result of t * viewRay.dir
viewRay.dir is an structure of the kind Vector, which it is three floats Code: | struct Vector {
float x,y,z;
}; |
t is a float and viewRay.origin it is an structure of the kind Vector, which also it is three floats Code: | struct point {
float x,y,z;
}; |
So if viewRay.origin has it three floats with the values of 300,300 ,-1000, if viewRay.dir value it is 0,0,1 and t value it is 926,4, I should have:
(300,300,-1000) + 926,4 * (0,0,1) = (300,300,-1000) + (0,0,926,4) = (300,300,-73,5595).
However this is not the value that I am getting. Here is the output of the program for viewRay.origin being (300,300,-1000): Quote: | t value it is: 926.44
viewRay.dir.x value it is: 0 viewRay.dir.y value it is: 0 viewRay.dir.z value it is: 1
viewRay.origin.x value it is: 300 viewRay.origin.x value it is: 300 viewRay.origin.z value it is: -1000
300 300 -73.5595
300 300 -2000 |
These lines are generated by the first line that I posted in this topic followed by these: Code: |
point intersection = viewRay.origin + t * viewRay.dir; //already posted this
cout << "t value it is: " << t << endl;
cout << " viewRay.dir.x value it is: " << viewRay.dir.x << " viewRay.dir.y value it is: " << viewRay.dir.y << " viewRay.dir.z value it is: " << viewRay.dir.z << endl;
cout << " viewRay.origin.x value it is: " << viewRay.origin.x << " viewRay.origin.x value it is: " << viewRay.origin.y << " viewRay.origin.z value it is: " << viewRay.origin.z << endl;
cout << viewRay.origin.x + t*viewRay.dir.x << ' ' << viewRay.origin.y + t*viewRay.dir.y << ' ' << viewRay.origin.z + t*viewRay.dir.z << endl;
cout << intersection.x << ' ' << intersection.y << ' ' << intersection.z << endl; |
So the value being calculated by using operator overloading is . The first two values, 300,300 are correct but the last one is wrong. This 2000 is the default value of t, so I thought the t value was wrong, but it is not, as can be seen by the second line of the output
In fifth I calculate the values "manually", without operator overloading and the values calculated are corrects.
So I think the error might be in the operator overloading for the multiplication. Here is the code Code: | inline Vector operator * (float t, const Vector &v1) {
Vector v2 = {v1.x * t, v1.y * t, v1.z*t};
return v2;
} |
I can't see anything wrong there....... So anyone has an idea?
Thanks for any help. |

viewRay.dir is an structure of the kind Vector, which it is three floats Code: | struct Vector {

}; |
t is a float and viewRay.origin it is an structure of the kind Vector, which also it is three floats Code: | struct point {
float x,y,z;
}; |

It's not though: it's a struct point, same as intersection. |

The code seems to be too big to post it all here at once (more than 600 lines divided into multiple files) How you suggest I shall proceed in this case?

True, my mistake |

Concatenate it into a single file, upload it to a pastebin, and link to the pastebin from here. |

I did it: here is the link: http://codepad.org/64AYV50l
The lines that I mentioned here are in the first 50 lines and between the 538 and the 545 one
To run the program you also need a txt file with this content in the same dir.

Code: | inline point operator + (const point &p1, const Vector &v1 ) {
point p2 = {p1.x + v1.x, p1.y + v1.y, p1.z + p1.z};
return p2;
}
|
Typo in the variable name on the z-addition. |
