How to avoid repetitive code sections during initialisation - General

Igor Makanu 2019.08.31 20:05 #211

Vladimir Simakov:

1. new operator returns a pointer, of course, developers made a mess with implicit dereferencing, so your version works, but it's better not to get hung up on undocumented things.

2. Of course, we don't have C++, but it's very similar, so initialization lists (I don't know about efficiency) are kosher.

Checked, yes your option works, and logically it's more correct:

interface IStrategy
  {
   void Algorithm()  { Print("Это не должно вызываться!!!"); }
  };
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
class Strategy_1 : public IStrategy
  {
public:
                     Strategy_1()   { Print(__FUNCTION__); }
   void              Algorithm()    { Print(__FUNCTION__); }
  };
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
class Strategy_2 : public IStrategy
  {
public:
                     Strategy_2()   { Print(__FUNCTION__); }
   void              Algorithm()    { Print(__FUNCTION__); }
  };
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
class Context
  {
public:
   IStrategy         *s;
                     Context(IStrategy *_strategy) { Print(__FUNCTION__); s = _strategy;              }
                    ~Context()                     { delete s;                                        }
   void              GetStrategy()                 { s.Algorithm();                                   }
  };
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
Context c1(new Strategy_1);
Context c2(new Strategy_2);
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnStart()
  {
   c1.GetStrategy();
   c2.GetStrategy();
   
   c1.s.Algorithm();
  }
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

The pointer and the object created at initialization were not lost, and the method in the interface did not substitute the methods of the classes 1 and 2 - everything seems to work as planned

How can I avoid repetitive code sections during initialisation? - in the constructor you cannot

class MyClass
{
   public:
      MyClass()         {Print("Create MyClass");}
};

interface IStrategy
  {
   void Algorithm()  { Print("Это не должно вызываться!!!"); }
  };
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
class Strategy_1 : public IStrategy
  {
  private:
  MyClass   *m;
public:
                     Strategy_1()   { Print(__FUNCTION__); }
   void              Algorithm()    { if(m==NULL) m = new MyClass; else { } } 
  };
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
class Strategy_2 : public IStrategy
  {
  private:
  MyClass   *m;
public:
                     Strategy_2()   { Print(__FUNCTION__); }
   void              Algorithm()    { if(m==NULL) m = new MyClass; else { } }
  };
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
class Context
  {
private:
   IStrategy         *s;
public:
                     Context(IStrategy *_strategy) { Print(__FUNCTION__); s = _strategy;              }
                    ~Context()                     { delete s;                                        }
   void              GetStrategy()                 { s.Algorithm();                                   }
  };
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
Context c1(new Strategy_1);
Context c2(new Strategy_2);
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnStart()
  {
   c1.GetStrategy();
   c2.GetStrategy();
  }

Instead of interface you make an ordinary class. You put *m there and make a bool SomeMethod {if(CheckPointer(m)) return false; m=new...; return true;}

In Algoritm if (SomeMethod()) ...

Instead of interface, you make a regular class. There you put *m and make method bool SomeMethod {if (CheckPointer(m)) return false; m=new...; return true;}

No, I need the interfes - it's very cool that I won't need to pull everything at every tick - I'll make one call of one strategy per one tick - in general I like config of all this so far, it seems it was necessary to solve my problem this way:

class MyClass
{
   public:
      MyClass()         {Print("Create MyClass");}
};

interface IStrategy
  {
   void Algorithm()  { Print("Это не должно вызываться!!!"); }
  };
  
class CStrategy : public IStrategy
{
protected:
   MyClass  *m;
   void Init()   {  m=new MyClass; }
};
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
class Strategy_1 : public CStrategy
  {
public:
                     Strategy_1()   { Print(__FUNCTION__); }
   void              Algorithm()    { if(m==NULL) Init(); else { } } 
  };
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
class Strategy_2 : public CStrategy
  {
public:
                     Strategy_2()   { Print(__FUNCTION__); }
   void              Algorithm()    { if(m==NULL) Init(); else { } }
  };
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
class Context
  {
private:
   IStrategy         *s;
public:
                     Context(IStrategy *_strategy) { Print(__FUNCTION__); s = _strategy;              }
                    ~Context()                     { delete s;                                        }
   void              GetStrategy()                 { s.Algorithm();                                   }
  };
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
Context c1(new Strategy_1);
Context c2(new Strategy_2);
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnStart()
  {
   c1.GetStrategy();
   c2.GetStrategy();
  }

I tweaked my example a bit - it works, but it should look like this:

{  void Algorithm()                 {Print("Это не должно запускаться!!!"); } };
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

{

   void Algorithm()                 {Print(__FUNCTION__,", x = ",x);       } };
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
class CStrategy_02:public CStrategy
{

but if I remove the body of theCStrategy::Algorithm(void) method, there will be an error: 'Algorithm' -the function must have a body

Why is it an error? - because I declare the CStrategy::Algorithm(void) method with the modifier virtual

An abstract method must be implemented in the descendants. Once again, there is no need for interface here.

Vladimir Simakov 2019.09.01 14:11 #217

virtual void Algoritm()=0;

Try this.

Vladimir Simakov 2019.09.01 14:15 #218

Vladimir Simakov:
virtual void Algoritm()=0;

Try this.

No, that won't work either. If you declare an abstraction, be kind enough to implement it.

Igor Makanu 2019.09.01 14:25 #219

Vladimir Simakov:

I think the compiler perceives the Algorithm() method from the interface and the declared virtual void Algorithm() as different methods because of the virtual modifier

Vladimir Simakov:

I need interfaces because it is convenient for me to declare different behaviour for 6 strategies depending on Expert Advisor settings (there are not so many strategies but order systems)

right now:

class CGrid {
private:
   int               StrategyCount;
   IStrategy         *Strategy[];
public:
   CGrid(int eamagicnumber, SSettingsForOrder &settingstrategy[]);
   ~CGrid(); };
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void CGrid::CGrid(int eamagicnumber, SSettingsForOrder &settingstrategy[]) {
   StrategyCount = ArraySize(settingstrategy);
   ArrayResize(Strategy, StrategyCount);
   for(int i = 0; i < StrategyCount; i++) {
      settingstrategy[i].magicnumber = i+eamagicnumber;
      switch(settingstrategy[i].dealtype) {
      case NONE                  :  Strategy[i] = new CNONE(settingstrategy[i]);                   break;
      case BUY                   :  Strategy[i] = new CBUY(settingstrategy[i]);                    break;
      case ReOpenBUY             :  Strategy[i] = new CReOpenBUY(settingstrategy[i]);              break;
      case ReversBUYToSellOnly   :  Strategy[i] = new CReversBUYToSellOnly(settingstrategy[i]);    break;
      case ReversBUYAlwaysRevers :  Strategy[i] = new CReversBUYAlwaysRevers(settingstrategy[i]);  break;
      case SELL                  :  Strategy[i] = new CSELL(settingstrategy[i]);                   break;
      case ReOpenSELL            :  Strategy[i] = new CReOpenSELL(settingstrategy[i]);             break;
      case ReversSELLToBuyOnly   :  Strategy[i] = new CReversSELLToBuyOnly(settingstrategy[i]);    break;
      case ReversSELLAlwaysRevers:  Strategy[i] = new CReversSELLAlwaysRevers(settingstrategy[i]); break; } } }

I want to minimize the body of Algorithm() methods - if I write the base class correctly - in my example, class CStrategy, then the Algorithm() itself will contain 5-10 lines at most

How should I write this code without an interface? - Now everything is brief and there will only be left to pull the algorithms themselves strategies every tick or less frequently
