stata - Retain the cluster number for each member of a cluster within an id variable -


i label how many unique clusters of data in longitudinal dataset , have each member of cluster carry cluster count. distinct clusters sharing set of dates within id. order of distinct cluster relative previous (earlier) clusters creates desired result. coding necessary address problem of event ordering required time-dependent covariate analysis.

input id    date 1   28jan2015 1   28jan2015 2   26nov2015 3   19oct2015 4   26dec2015 5   23dec2015 6   22may2015 6   23sep2015 6   23sep2015 7   14jan2015 7   27feb2015 7   30may2015 8   16apr2015 8   16apr2015 8   16apr2015 8   16apr2015 8   16apr2015 9   17jul2015 9   03oct2015 9   03oct2015 10  27jul2015 end

i have attempted: 

bys id (date): gen count_obs = [_n] bys id date: gen count_interval_obs = [_n] egen n_interval = group(id date)

resulting in accurate counts of total number of observations per id , enumeration of number of observations within date. however, egen function group() results in identifying each unique set of dates, numbers groups without regard id, giving: 

id  wrong_cluster correct_cluster 1   28jan2015 1 1 1   28jan2015 1 1 2   26nov2015 2 1 3   19oct2015 3 1 4   26dec2015 4 1 5   23dec2015 5 1 6   22may2015 6 1 6   23sep2015 7 2 6   23sep2015 7 2

etc.

egen, group() cannot used by: prefix.

any assistance appreciated.

edit: added explanation of why cluster identification necessary. clarified rule defines cluster.

@roberto ferrer has given direct approach. follows logic uses there route using egen's group() function: 

egen group = group(id date2) bysort id (group): gen clust2 = sum(group != group[_n-1])

c++ - Difference between pre and post decrement in recursive function argument -

i have following sample code used pre-decrement void function(int c) { if(c == 0) { return; } else { cout << "dp" << c << endl; function(--c); cout << c << endl; return; } } this function give output input 4 : dp3 dp2 dp1 dp0 0 1 2 3 but when use post decrement void function(int c) { if(c == 0) { return; } else { cout << "dp" << c << endl; function(c--); cout << c << endl; return; } } output goes in infinite loop dp4 can explain me in detail why happens ? this happens because function(c--) called same value of c , when finishes c decremented. recursively called, hence called same value no chance of return , hit stack overflow error. assume this, int x = 1, y = 0; y = x++ result y == 1 , x == 2. if y = ++x , bot x , y 2.
