C/C++ :: Calculator - Correcting For User Error

Jan 19, 2014

I have am having a bit of trouble with a baisc calculator that I am writing for my intro to programming class at Uni. We are using the C programming language. The program is supposed to be able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. It is also supposed to return certain messages if an error has occurred. This is how the program is supposed to perform:

bash-4.2$ ./calc
enter expression: 4.25 * 3.3
result: 14.025

C/C++ :: Error When Trying To Program BMI Calculator

Aug 26, 2014

'm trying to program a BMI calculator in C for my assignment where the weight must be in KG and an int , and the height must be in m and a double value. The program should allow the user to input his weight(kg) and height(m) separated by a space and be able to calculate and display the BMI. My code is shown below :

#include<stdio.h>
int
main(void) {
int weight;
double height,bmi;
bmi = weight / ( height * height ) ;
scanf("%d%lf" , &weight , &height );
printf("BMI = %f", bmi);
return 0;
}

However , after running the program , I constantly get a 1.#INF00 value for my result.The compiler did not show any errors so why I'm getting this value.I input my weight and height in this format "45 1.65" 45 being the weight and 1.65 being the height.

C++ :: How To Allow User To Input Operator Into Calculator Function

Aug 24, 2014

How I can let the user input a certain operator into this calculator function?. I would like to use cin to input the operator if possible because it is one of the only input commands I know.

// Calculator.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
// Calculates the value of two numbers based on the four main operations.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
int add(int x, int y);
int subtract(int x, int y);
int multiply(int x, int y);
int divide(int x, int y);

C++ :: Federal Tax Calculator Based On User Input

Apr 17, 2014

I am doing an assignment that is to calculate the federal tax based on the users input. I am not entirely sure what it is doing, but it is definitely not what I want it to do. I commented out the loops because they seemed to have caused a problem, but there is still problems that are making the program do something else. Here is my code:

#include<iostream>
#include<string>
using namespace std;
double getData();
double taxAmount();

[Code] ....

Functions just seem like they are not my thing. It never gets to the second function to do the calculations and then return to main to display the results.

I tried changing the code to a switch(status) with a default: at the end that looped the "please try again" but for some reason, that was a fail, it created an endless loop.

C/C++ :: Simple Calculator - Clear Screen Following User Input

Dec 10, 2014

I am working on a simple calculator in C++ .... All works fine with the calculator up until the requirement for the user to input "do you want to go again y/n" .... What i want to happen is the screen to clear down and reloop to the enter name part....but i can't get it to do that

Program Description: To write and develop a programme where a user can input a cost or price of something before VAT our program must then process the input number and must output the price with the original value plus VAT

#include <iostream>// I must use this to start my programming
#include <string> // I have added this for the extension task so the user has to input their name
#include <iomanip> // this is to manipulate the text
#include <stdlib.h>
using namespace std; // using the "using namespace std" shows that i will be using standard text throughout this programme

C :: Unscramble User Input - Error In Loop

Sep 24, 2014

The purpose of this program is to unscramble the user's input. for example if the user entered 'ftooabll' the program would print 'football'. find the error that I am making....

Now, this only works for strings that are contained in the file wordlist. That being said, I would like this to repeat this search multiple times. Currently, the process is being repeated 7 times, but it only works on the first iteration. The code and sample input/output is below.

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#define NUMLOOP 6
void sort_string(char*);

[Code] ....

Sample input/output: (note: all data has been verified to be in the wordlist)

Enter string:
4132dcba
abcd1234
Enter string:
4132dcba
Enter string:
4132dcba
Enter string:
4132dcba
Enter string:
4132dcba
Enter string:
4132dcba
Enter string:

C++ :: How To Error Check If User Input Is Letters And Not Numbers

Jun 9, 2014

How do I error check if the user is inputting letters and not numbers? For example, if the user inputs "Lab.txt" I need to display an error message. If they input "Lab2part2.txt" then this is correct and what I want.

I've found a lot of information online on how to error check for numbers or a single letter (EX: 1,2,3, etc. or 'A' 'B' 'C') but nothing for actual WORDS or maybe I should refer to it as a string of characters?

Is there any way to do this? Because my program requires I ask the user to input the name of the file. But the way my code is currently set up is even when the user inputs the wrong file name it still opens the file. I want to prevent this from happening so my thought was to error check user input.

/*Program to determine company's weekly payroll*/

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
void OpenTheFile() {
ifstream inputFile;
string filename;
char letter;
int number;

C++ :: Output Vowel From User Input - Error With Strings And Functions

Nov 25, 2014

The program is supposed to read in a string from the user and then output the number of each vowel that the string has. My first function is initializing the vectors, and the one that I'm having trouble with is the function used to read the string from the user and save it.

Here's my code:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

// FUNCTION PROTOTYPES GO HERE:
void init_vectors(vector<char> & vowels, vector<int> & frequencies);
string read_text(const string & prompt);

[Code] ....

And I'm getting the error:

freq.cpp: In function ‘std::string read_text(const std::string&)’:
freq.cpp:74: error: no matching function for call to ‘getline(std::istream&, const std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >&)’

I'm not too sure if I can't use the function getline here or if there is something wrong with the function prototype itself but I'm pretty sure there isn't an error there as it was given to me.

C++ :: User Input Data About Percentages To Calculate Final Grade - Addition Error?

Sep 15, 2014

I am trying to code a program that takes in user inputted data about percentages and using it to later on calculate a final grade. 4 percents are inputted, for Assignments, Midterm1, Midterm2, and Finals. If the percents dont add up to 1 (i tell the user to enter the decimal value) I set up and if statement to catch it and end the program. Except that if i type in

Assignments = .3
Midterm1 = .3
Midterm2 = .3
Finals = .1

the program doesn't recognize that they add up to 1. Heres the relevant portion of my code [URL] ....

Here's some examples of how it works [URL] ....

And heres what i dont understand [URL] ....

Why is it saying .3 + .3 + .3 + .1 != 1 when .1 + .3 + .3 + .3 == 1?

C/C++ :: Create User Defined Dynamic Array For Player Scores - Missing Pointer Types Error

Jan 18, 2015

I'm completely new to pointers and have a homework assignment due where I'm supposed to create a user defined dynamic array for player scores. The only errors I'm experiencing is a C2109: subscript requires pointer type and only on the lines that use the int *score; variable (57, 62, 64, 69, 71, and 82). I've already tried adding = nullptr to the variable and that didn't work.

void average(int[], int);

C++ :: Write A Calculator Using Two Stacks

Apr 13, 2014

I just started by defining a stack class (stackDouble). I need to write a program that accepts an infix calculator expression, with the following operators (**, exponentiation, /, division, and, -, subtraction. The operator precedence is exponent, division, and subtraction.I need to use a stack of doubles and a stack of strings, of which I can write two classes, or write a single stack template. The user will input the expression just via cin, and there will be a # before every number, a ! before each operator, and a . at the end of the expression. '#', '!', or '.' can be input into a char variable, numbers into a double variable and operators into a string variable.

For example, the following would output 6:

# 3 ! / # 2 ! / # .5 ! ** # 2 .

As stated above, I already made up a stackDouble class. What would I need to do to create the other class (I don't think I want to do it with a template)?

Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
class stackDouble{

I have an assignment to do a calculator in C, wich will work by clicking the numbers with the mouse, however i have a bug that when i hold the mouse and dragg it, it assumes that I'm clicking multiple times, also, when I click in an empty space the program creates a blank space on the calculator screen.

Code:

C/C++ :: GPA Calculator With Text File?

Mar 5, 2015

I'm trying to create a program that will calculate the gpa of several different students, whose data are in a text file. The file looks something like this, with possibly more lines.

Mark 3 4 A 3 D 2 C 1 A
Tom 2 3 A 2 C

The very first number tells us how many credit hour/grades will follow. I have a couple of problems though: From the code I've written I don't seem to get any data other than the first line. Also the gpa that does print out after the file runs is just a 0.00, rather than the actual gpa.

C/C++ :: Calculator That Uses Only Getchar / Putchar

Mar 24, 2014

I basically just have to make a calculator that only uses getchar/putchar (printf is Ok for displaying errors) - Also, negatives must be error-checked. As of right now, my program will only work if there is exactly one space between the number, operand, and other number. No spaces, or more than one space, will give me some very weird digits. I also need to display the numbers with putchar, and not printf (as I did below), but I just really wanted a working program.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <math.h>
int add(int input1,char operand, int input2);
int subtract(int input1,char operand, int input2);
