Recursion involving tree with many branches and all branches need to be stored

[ayush15]

I want to store all the result which are basically 8 points generated after every time function
GenTestPoint is called.

Can you suggest me how to store all the points generated i.e 4096+512+64+8 points. However, I mainly need the 4096 points which are generated at the end. I am new to programming, not much familiar with pointer and all stuff.

Its start from level 1.

Level 1 = 8 Points;
Level 2 = 64 points;
Level 3 = 512 Points;
Level 4 = 4096 points;
8 points will be calculated only when if statement is true. But it's fine in the worst case all the statements are true and at the end we will get 4096 points. Just consider that all the if statements are true and I am getting 4096 points at the end which I need to store in some GLOBAL Variable.

I need this 4096 points at the end, but even if you can suggest me to store all the points at the end, then also its good.

void GenTestPoint(Vec3f test, float level)
{

float new_denominator = pow(2.0f,level);
Vec3f result1, result2, result3, result4, result5, result6, result7, result8;
Vec3f result11, result12, result13, result14, result15, result16, result17, result18;

result1 = (test.x - 1/new_denominator, test.y - 1/new_denominator, test.z - 1/new_denominator);

result2 = (test.x - 1/new_denominator, test.y - 1/new_denominator, test.z + 1/new_denominator);

result3 = (test.x + 1/new_denominator, test.y - 1/new_denominator, test.z + 1/new_denominator);

result4 = (test.x + 1/new_denominator, test.y - 1/new_denominator, test.z - 1/new_denominator);

result5 = (test.x + 1/new_denominator, test.y + 1/new_denominator, test.z - 1/new_denominator);

result6 = (test.x - 1/new_denominator, test.y + 1/new_denominator, test.z - 1/new_denominator);

result7 = (test.x - 1/new_denominator, test.y + 1/new_denominator, test.z + 1/new_denominator);

result8 = (test.x + 1/new_denominator, test.y + 1/new_denominator, test.z + 1/new_denominator);

while (level < 5)
{
if (CheckInOut(result1)= true)
GenTestPoint(result1, level);
else
break;

if (CheckInOut(result2)= true)
GenTestPoint(result2, level);
else
break;

if (CheckInOut(result3) = true)
GenTestPoint(result3, level);
else
break;
if (CheckInOut(result4)= true)
GenTestPoint(result4, level);
else
break;

if (CheckInOut(result5)= true)
GenTestPoint(result5, level);
else
break;

if (CheckInOut(result6)= true)
GenTestPoint(result6, level);
else
break;

if (CheckInOut(result7)= true)
GenTestPoint(result7, level);
else
break;

if (CheckInOut(result8)= true)
GenTestPoint(result8, level);
else
break;
level = level + 1;
}


}

while (level < 5)
{
    if (CheckInOut(result1)= true)
        GenTestPoint(result1, level);
    else
        break;

}

If you thought this

     (CheckInOut(result1)= true)

is a comparison operator then you are wrong. This is an assignment!
You should write it like

     if(CheckInOut(result1) == true)

or much better, just

     if(CheckInOut(result1))

When posting code, please use code tags. Go Advanced, select the formatted code and click '#'.

As this is a recursive function and there are 8 results per function call, do you just want to store the 8 results per call or do you want to store additional info such as level, CheckInOut () result etc. You mention 4096 points - but this is still 512 sets of 8 points and as your function is currently coded only these 8 points can be stored at one time.

One easy way would be to simply sequentially write the results to a file - but what is stored and how it is best stored depends somewhat on how the data is to be used.
