C/C++ :: Data Type Checking For Integer

Jan 22, 2014

Ok so I have this simple program that gets input from a user. I just want to put in a line of code to make sure that hte user can't type in something like "pizza" , I want to make it say that if the user puts in something that is NOT a number they will get a error back saying "Wrong! try again!" Here is my code :

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
//Summation Program
//Function Prototypes
int get_num();
void compute_sum(int num, int &sum);

C/C++ :: Data Type Checking With Pointers?

Sep 4, 2014

Assume the user has already put in the number of students (hence my variables numStuds, which will most likely be irrelevant to my problem).

So suppose I have this:

void inputStudentInfo(string *names, int *movies, const int numStuds) {
for(int i =0; i < numStuds; i++) {
cout << "Enter student name: "; getline(cin, names[i]); read_string(names[i]);

[Code] ....

Then I have my data type checking function:

//Data-Type Checking for strings
string read_string(string Sname) {
while(!cin.good())

[Code] ....

I am getting errors. I know the problem I think is that I am trying to data type check for a string made up of pointers* with just a string but I don't know how I am supposed to check this?

C++ :: Integer Max - Long Data Type

Jan 4, 2013

Working on a Project Euler problem and the question asks for the largest prime number that is a factor of 600851475143. As you can see, this is significantly larger than the maximum of a long data type, which maxes out at 2147483647.

I'm running on Windows 32, so int64 is not a valid option for me. It seems like I'll likely have to use a different language to solve this problem.

C++ :: Create New Data Type To Store Big Integer?

Oct 17, 2014

i need to create a new integer data type called BigInt to store a big big integer, which includes Dint(8 bytes) and Qint(16 bytes)

here is the hint/

typedef struct BigInt {
Int data[2];
}

How can i "scanf" and "printf" them????

void ScanBigInt(const char *format, BigInt &x)
if format is “%dd” -> input Dint, if format is “%qd”--> input Qint
void PrintBigInt(const char *format, BigInt x)

C++ :: Convert String Variable For The Year To Integer Data Type

May 12, 2014

My intent was to convert the string variable for the year to an integer data type. The code compiles but now cannot run on my system. I'm not sure what's going as to what the program is displaying.

Objective: Prompt the user for two years. Print all Comedy movies that were released between those two years.

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <cctype>
using namespace std;
struct Movie {
string name;

C :: Reading String And Checking If Integer

Nov 23, 2013

wrote this program to check if a string is an integer. It checks for + or - sign at the front of it, but it spat out some errors.I think I broke it.Here is the code:

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<ctype.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
int getInteger(char*);
int main(void) {
char str[99];
int x;
}

C++ :: Checking Type With Iterators

Oct 13, 2013

Assuming I have a list of pointers to a generic type T:

#include <vector>
//...
list<T*> myList;

Now assuming I want to go on the list, and if T's type is matched to the type I'm looking for, then cast it to this type and do something. List shown here:

list<T*>:: const_iterator iter= myList.begin();
for(; iter!=myList.end(); ++iter){
if( typeid(*iter)==typeid(Something*)) //RUN-TIME ERROR
dynamic_cast<Something*>(*iter)->DoSomething();
}

how do I fix this run-time error?

C :: Checking Validity Of Data From Stdin

Mar 23, 2014

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define MAX_READ 2
int main( ) {
char * secret = "abecedarium consisting This is a string literal!";

[Code] ....

I am trying to test what happens in the sscanf converted types (command and string) if they are smaller, i got surprised that the printf worked, so i dont know why.

this code is just a test for what i want to do, what i really want to do is for example: i have this string from the stdin which must have the following format:

connect name.surname

So I need to check the cases when it is not the input that i want, namely if the name.surname is for example bigger than 30 chars. and also if it has the abecedary characters from the ascii...

C++ :: Deal With A Failed Input Stream And Type Checking Input?

Jun 17, 2014

deal with a failed input stream and type checking input?

I use:

cout << "
Enter a menu option: ";
while(!(cin >> menuGameMode))
{
cin.clear();
while (cin.get() != '
')
continue;
cout << "Enter a menu option: ";
}

Is this the "Best" way to do it?

EDIT: We're assuming input is expecting an int.

C :: Create New Data Type Data Declared As Int

Feb 1, 2015

I'm trying to create a new data type Data declared as int. What comes up to my mind is to create a structure like

Code:

typedef struct Data {
int number;
} Data;

but when I need to use the data I need to go through the structure. Is this a good way to declare a new data type?

C++ :: Creating INF Data Type?

Jan 21, 2015

I want to create a new data type called an inf_t. It's basically infinity (which for C++ is 1.7e+308). The only reason I want this is because I want to overload the cout << operation to print out INF/inf. Should I do this in a struct?

Code: struct inf_t {
private:
double inf = 1.7e+308;
};
std::ostream& operator << (std::ostream &stream, inf_t inf) {
stream << "INF";
return stream;
}

C++ :: Conversions Between Integer Primitive Data Types

May 8, 2014

In my platform (Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits with Service Pack 1 over a compatible PC with a AMD x86 microprocessor), the next sample C++ code,

#include <iostream>
#include <limits>
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
using std::hex;
using std::showbase;
using std::numeric_limits;

[Code] ....

Compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express, prints this output:

ui = 0xffffffff
ull = 0xffffffff
sll = 0xffffffff
si = 0xffffffff
ull = 0xffffffffffffffff
sll = 0xffffffffffffffff

So, in my platform, conversion from an unsigend integer primitive data type to any bigger integer primitive data type never extends the most significant bit of the former integer and conversion from an signed integer primitive data type to any bigger integer primitive data type always extends the most significant bit of the former integer. This is convenient to mantain the same value when converting between integer primitive data types of the same signedness (i.e, signed integers or unsigned integers).

C++ :: Char Data Type Variable

Jun 12, 2013

I have two char variables, m_GPSOffset[13] and m_FileName[100]. When m_GPSOffset has a value assigned to it, say for instance +11:25:30. The first entry of the value, in this case +, is always stored in m_FileName. I am clueless on why this is occurring.

C++ :: What Data Type To Treat Input As

Sep 3, 2013

I know that an int is usually 4 bytes, ranging from -2^31 to 2^31-1 for a signed int and 0 to 2^32-1 for an unsigned int. My question is simply, bit-wise (I know they are labelled in the code), how does it determine whether to show -2^31 or 2^32-1 if it was 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111 in bits? Is there a 5th byte to tell the compiler what data type to treat the input as?

C++ :: Finding Out Input Data Type?

Oct 15, 2013

I'm currently trying to solve a programming assignment and i got the logic of it, however i find it hard to implement.

What i need to do basically is fill an array with objects. Each object is a class that contains only one type of data. This means i can place int, double and string for example in one simple array.

However i can't figure out how to read data and then decide what it is. Even if i use templates once i call the function i have to give it a type, so getType<int> for example will not work with double or string.

I know about typeID and how to use it, i just can't figure out where to use it.

C/C++ :: How To Declare Alphabet Type Of Data

Feb 15, 2014

I know how to store numeric data using keywords int, long, float, and so on. I'm making my own program called "Who is your soul-mate".The only question I want to ask is what's the keyword for storing alphabet data? As you can see below on my source file. I want to replace "int" keyword with another keyword that can store alphabet data. It's all in standard C.

#include <stdio.h>
int soulm01, soulm02, soulm03;
int year_of_birth;
int main(void)

C/C++ :: Node Data Return Type?

Apr 7, 2014

In my main I have a do/while loop, which is to iterate around the method calculateImportance while i is not equal to the numNodes.

do

int i;
int numNodes = Test.count();
for(i=0; i<=numNodes; i++)

[Code]....

I have been messing around with the data type node, hence why it is there are present, but, that doesn't seem to the answer

This is the function declaration in the header file.
