C/C++ :: Program That Calculate PI Based On User Input For Accuracy?

May 24, 2014

I am trying to create a program that will calculate pi based on a user input for accuracy. If the user input .3 then when the leibniz infinite sum value at a particular i becomes less then the input of .3 then the loop will exit.

I have looked at a number of examples on the internet but I feel lost. I have put together working code that will infinitely output sums but I need the loop to stop when the sum value is less then the accuracy value.

My question is what is wrong with my while loop, why will it only give me infinite summations? How do I make it so that the loop will exit when my accuracy input is greater then the sum?

int main () {
double accuracy;
cout<<"Give an accurate number." << flush;//looks nice
cin>>accuracy;
int d;//initialize denominator
double pi = 0.0;
while(accuracy < d){

Visual C++ :: Program That Take Input From A User And Calculate It In A Do While Loop

May 15, 2013

I'm trying to create a program that will take input from a user and calculate it in a do-while loop. The program does the calculation but the answer is wrong. The loop also doesn't work. The purpose of the program is to see how much an item will cost after a discount is taken off and tax is added.

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;
double original_cost;
double discount;
double tax;
double total;

C++ :: Calculate Approximate Age Of User Based On Current Date And Their Birthday

Nov 23, 2012

I have an extra credit project where I'm supposed to calculate an approximate the user's age based on the current date and their birthday. My problem is that I am not getting the proper date and time. C++ keeps giving me some random date. I looked up c++ time format on the internet because this is extra credit and not in my book.

I am currently using dev C++ 4.9.9.2. Here is my current code :

// included libraries
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <time.h>
#define cls system("cls")
#define pauseOutput system("pause")
void printM(int x);
void age(int m, int d, int y, int &yearAge, int &monthAge, int &dayAge);

C/C++ :: Program To Calculate Stats Based On Snakes And Ladders

Feb 28, 2014

I have a problem with my code while trying to simulate a snakes and ladders program. The objective of the program is to simulate many games (100000+) to gain statistics:

1. The most likely number of rolls.
2. The mean value of the number of rolls.
3. The most common square, C, on which a token may come to rest. i.e. move on to.
4. The probability of coming to rest on square C.
5. The least likely square on which a token may come to rest and what is the probability of this occurring.
6. The distribution in the number of rolls needed per game presented as a normalised graph.
7. The minimum number of rolls of the die - called Nmin.
8. How many different paths (unique sequences of die rolls) take Nmin rolls to complete the game?

However my program (on Tenacious C) doesn't seem to run at all...

I have run it on internet compilers and other compilers but it must work on Tenacious C.

Below is the code I have at the moment, it works fine when stepped through or ran on a different compiler.

How to create code to answer the 8 points above. For instance, to get point number 2. I must find the total rolls divided by the total number of games, but am not sure how to do this.

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#define NUMBEROFGAMES 10
int GetThePositionOfMovement(int CurrentPosition, int dieValue);

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++ :: Pixelate Image Based On User Input

Dec 24, 2014

My assignment is to pixelate an image based on users input. I have a structure that stores the image, and in this structure I'm storing the height and width and a dynamic array of RGBA struct.

This is my function. my main issue (that I've found) is offsetting and figuring out a way to handle the "edge" if the dimensions don't add up to the set pixelation size.

// @------------- Pixelation X
bool filter_pixelation(float percentageX, float percentageY, Picture& pic) {
// URL
/* 50% of 80 = (50/100) * 80 = 40 */
size_t perX = percentageX * (float)pic.width;
size_t perY = percentageY * (float)pic.height;

[Code] ....

Here is the getIndex function:

int getIndex(int x, int y, int width) {
return y * width + x;
}

C/C++ :: How To Draw A Square Based On User Input

Nov 5, 2014

Okay so I have to draw a square using "c" that draws according to the user input. Also, this has to be a function, and here is the code I have so far:

#include <stdio.h>
void DrawSquare(int length, char symbol);
void DrawSquare(int length, char symbol) {
int row;
int col;

[Code] .....

When I run this program it compiles fine but when the user input is recorded it just draws nothing but makes tons of spaces.

C++ :: How To Stop Outputting Data Based On A User Input

Sep 27, 2013

how to stop outputting data based on a user input. The text file is as follows:

1. a
2. b
3. c

and the code I'm using is as follows:

int main (){
string line;
int search;
cout << "Enter a number from 1-3" << endl;
cin >> search;
search++;
ifstream myfile ("example.txt");

[Code]...

What I want to do is to just output number 1 (the whole line) if the user enters number 1. However, I get an error on the second condition w/c is the "&& line!= search"

C++ :: Storing Multiple Arrays Based On User Input

Feb 7, 2014

I'm trying to create a function where it allows the user to type in multiple amounts of integers, so if the user wanted to have 3 different storages that hold different integers, the input would look something like this:

5
97 12 31 2 1 //let's say this is held in variable "a"
1 3 284 3 8 // "b"
2 3 482 3 4 // "c"
2 3 4 2 3 // "d"
99 0 2 3 42 // "e"

Since we don't know what number the user will input every time, I'm not sure how to create a dynamically allocated array that will create an x amount of arrays every time.. I want to be able to access each index of a, b, c, d, e or however many arrays there are.

So far, this is what I have, but I'm having trouble creating the arrays since it's unpredictable. I'm purposely not using vectors because I don't really get how pointers work so I'm trying to play around with it.

int* x;
int length, numbers;
cin >> length;
x = new int[length]
for (int i=0;i<length;i++)
{
cin >> numbers; //this doesn't work because it only grabs the first line for some reason
x[i] = numbers
}

C++ :: Generate Report Based On Input Received From Text File - User Defined Namespace

Nov 11, 2014

Write a program to generate a report based on input received from a text file. Suppose the input text file student_status.txt contains the student’s name (lastName, firstName middleName), id, number of credits earned as follows :

Doe, John K.
3460 25
Andrews, Susan S.
3987 72
Monroe, Marylin
2298 87
Gaston, Arthur C.
2894 110

Generate the output in the following format :

John K. Doe 3460 25 Freshman
Susan S. Andrews 3987 40 Sophomore
Marylin Monroe 2298 87 Junior
Arthur C. Gaston 2894 110 Senior

The program must be written to use the enum class_level :

enum class_level {FRESHMAN, SOPHOMORE, JUNIOR, SENIOR } ;

and define two namespace globalTypes (tys and fys) for the function :

class_level deriveClassLevel(int num_of_credits) ;

The function deriveClassLevel should derive the class_level of the student based on the number of credits earned.

The first namespace globalType tys should derive the class level based on a two year school policy.
and the second namespace globalType fys should derive the class level based on a four year school policy.

Four Year School Policy:
Freshman 0-29 creditsSophomore 30-59 credits
Junior 60-89 creditsSenior 90 or more credits

Two Year School Policy:
Freshman 0-29 creditsSophomore 30 or more credits

NOTE : use ignore() function with ifstream objects whenever you want to ignore the newline character.

For example :
ifstream transferSchoolFile ;
transferSchoolFile.open("student_status.txt", ios::in);

while( !transferSchoolFile.eof()) {
getline(transferSchoolFile,name) ;
transferSchoolFile >> id >> credits;
transferSchoolFile.ignore(); //Used here to ignore the newline character.
….
}

I did this in parts so I got it working with a four year criteria without the user defined name spaces.

include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;
enum class_level { FRESHMAN, SOPHOMORE, JUNIOR, SENIOR };

[Code] ....

So that worked fine then I tried with name spaces -

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
enum class_level { FRESHMAN, SOPHOMORE, JUNIOR, SENIOR };
class_level classLevel;

[Code] ....

I know I have some stuff to mess around with but I am currently stuck with two errors, first -

Error1error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartupC:UsersstephenDocumentsVisual Studio 2013ProjectsinputConsoleApplication1MSVCRTD.lib(crtexe.obj)ConsoleApplication1

then -

C :: Calculate Different Measurements For A Cylinder - Width Modifier For End User Input

Sep 12, 2013

I have created a program to calculate different measurements for a cylinder. Anyways, the end user has to input 3 variables.

Enter the lower radius: 6
Enter the upper radius: 5
Enter slant height: 2.236

The numbers are what "End User" would input. But I need to make it look like this when said "End User inputs the numbers.

Enter the lower radius: 6
Enter the upper radius: 5
Enter slant height: 2.236

Here is what I have for it, but I don't know what to put where.

printf("
Enter the lower radius: ");
scanf("%f", &lower_rad);
printf("Enter the upper radius: ");
scanf("%f", &upper_rad);
printf("Enter slant height: ");
scanf("%f", &slant_h);

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++ :: Store User Input In Array And Calculate Mean / Median And Mode - Bubble Sorting

Mar 26, 2014

I'm trying to make a c++ program of this but i don't know how to use the bubble sorting.

Write a C++ application that asks the user to enter 10 numbers. The program then stores those numbers in an Array. The program should display the Mean , Median, and Mode.

Mean is the average of the 10 numbers.
Median is the average of the 5th and the 6th numbers. (But you have to arrange the numbers in ascending order first using Bubble Sort before calculating the Median.)
Mode is the most frequent number among the 10 numbers.

Your Program should prompt the use rwith the numbers and the options for each (school, classification, and mood) allowing them to make a choice"

My issue is with the output. The output at the end is the number that they input and not the name of the case they chose, so if they chose option 1 for school it does not print out "BRCC" at the end for the output it prints a 1.

C++ :: Program Skips Over User Input?

Dec 6, 2014

I am so close to finishing this program of games, but I'm running into some issues while debugging it.

I've attached the google drive folder since there are several files (ignore the ones with [conflict], etc)...

First, I have the main menu using a switch to select the game. The default was set to exit. If initially when immediately opening the program you put in for say, a letter, it would exit like its supposed to. But if you went and played any of the games ], went back to the main screen, and entered a letter then, it would crash. I've put in a testing line to make sure that you enter a number, and not anything else.

Now however, if you play a game and then want to go back to the main menu, it will simply skip over waiting for your response and close the program. The same thing happens in the slot machine, I want to have it spin the slot machine by pressing enter, but it simply skips over the input, and I'm not sure why.
