C :: Create A Program That Prints A Number Of Dots Specified By User

Oct 8, 2013

I'm trying to create a program that prints a number of dots specified by the user, there 4 options to do any loop type or to exit the menu. i'm having problems making it so that after you enter a value and it displays the specified number of dots it clears the results. Also we have to make it so that if a negative integer is entered it still prints out the appropriate amount of dots ie: user puts -9 it prints 9 dots, i know you use the abs() function but it doesn't seem to be working for me. I'm assuming my problem with the abs function is i'm not using it correctly. Use case 1 as the example for the rest because I'm trying to implement everything on one case at a time

Code:

int main() {
//initialization statements
int Num1 = 0;
char dot = '.';

C/C++ :: Printing Square Pattern Of Asterisks Based On User Input

Dec 15, 2014

I have to make a program that displays a square of asterisks based on the users input. Here is what I have so far.

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
int number;
cout << "Enter a number: ";
cin >> number;
for (int i = 0; i < number; i++){

[Code] ....

But the square needs to be hollow like this. So if the user enters 5 then the following square will be shown.

*****
* *
* *
* *
*****

How to make it do this.

C++ :: Create Program That Has User Input 5 Digit Number?

Mar 9, 2013

Im trying to create a program that has the user input a 5 digit number. If it's between 10000 & 99999, it will do one thing..(just saying 'yes' for now. Outside those numbers will prompt the user to input again. However, if the user inputs the exact digits 76087, it should display 'term'.

This current code is displaying 'term' whenever the user inputs the 5 digits.

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int pin;
cout << "Welcome to Movie Food
Enter your 5-digit pin code: " ;

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){

C++ :: Program To Allow A User To Input A Number From Keyboard That Involves Loop Not Working Right?

Mar 30, 2014

I'm trying to write a C++ program that will allow a user to input a number from the keyboard. Then using a loop, that will perform 10 times, multiply the entered number by the loop counter. Print out the loop counter, the entered number and the product of the loop counter and the entered number. A one-time heading should be displayed before information is printed.

This kinda of what I have so far:

#include <iosteam>
using namespace std;
int main () {
Start
Declare: numScores, sum, score, avg, SENTINEL = 200
numScores = 0

[Code] ....

All the programs I have tried to make are not working?

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");

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++ :: Change Making Program Prints Correct Values But Prints Them In Loop

Jan 27, 2015

I have a program that makes change from an amount. It works fine, but the output is the correct output looped over and over. I have tried everything, but it still doesn't work. For example, a amount of 98 should print

3 quarters
2 dimes
0 nickles
3 pennies
but instead it prints
3 quarters
2 dimes
0 nickels
3 pennies
0 quarters
2 dimes
0 nickels
3 pennies
0 quarters
2 dimes
0 nickels
3 pennies

Why it's doing this?

Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int coinscount(int& amount, int value) {
int tracker = 0;
int amountdimes = amount;

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 -

Error2error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externalsC:UsersstephenDocumentsVisual Studio 2013ProjectsinputDebugConsoleApplication1.exeConsoleApplication1
