C :: Function To Return User Input

Feb 26, 2013

Firstly, I'd like to say that I'm relatively new to functions and my course standards state that I'm now supposed to relay information from the user to the program via functions, this means that I'm no longer able to use 'printf/scanf' combos in the main function.

Is it possible to do it via functions? I've tried the following method for example, but to no avail.

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int getlowR();
int main(void)
{
getlowR();

[Code] ....

I think the following works but then lowRange is native to the function, isn't it? How can I use it outside the function? For example, how would I go about actually printing the value acquired by the function in main?

C/C++ :: UDF To Prompt / Read And Validate User Input And Return A Value?

Aug 5, 2014

I'm having a problem with the two while statements in my UDF.

- 1. It will run both while loops twice...?

- 2. It now goes into a continuous loop.

- 3. When it did work, it would only return 1 value to the main()...?

#include <iostream> // for use of "cin" & "cout", endl...
#include <iomanip> // for formatting setw function
#include <cmath> // for the general math computations
#include <string> // for creating descriptive strings
#include <sstream> // used to convert a string to an integer
//user defined function
int userValue (int);

Nov 9, 2014

I was instructed to write a binary search function which would return true if an element, inputted by the user, was found in the array, and false if it was not. I'm not sure why, but my function always returns false. My code is as follows.

#include <iostream>

C :: Scanf Input By The User Into Function

Apr 19, 2013

I tried to scanf the input by the user into the function but it does not read my input. Read on one of the thread, it said that to scanf a input into a double, need to use %1f instead to %d (which normally used. I tried changing it to %1f and it still did not work.

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
/* function main begins program execution */
int main( void )

How to get this thing to work. All i need to do is ask user to input a name and then it brings out the line from the .txt file containing the information.

C :: Will Return Root Statement At End Ever Return Value Other Than Value Passed To Function?

Mar 29, 2013

I'm writing some functions pertaining to binary trees. I've used recursion once before while learning quicksort but am still quite new and unfamiliar with it. And this is my first time touching a binary tree. So my question: In my addnode function, will the return root statement at the end ever return a value other than the value passed to the function?

Code:

#include <stdlib.h>
struct tnode
{
int data;
struct tnode * left;
struct tnode * right;
}

Return the digit at the user specified index of an integer. If the integer has n digits and the index is NOT in the range 0 <=index <n return -1 Start the digit numbering at 0. Example, if user input is 4 (index) and the integer equals 123456790 the return value for the function is 5 (start index at 0) ; if user input is 40 (index) and the integer equals 123456790 the return value for the function is -1

C++ :: Prompt User To Enter Domain Name - Return Resolved IP Address

Feb 16, 2013

This is a winsock program designed to prompt the user to enter a domain name. The program is then supposed to return to the user a resolved ip address of that domain name. The user should also be able to enter an IP address and receive back a domain name.

While the program prompts the user to enter the domain name, all that is ever returned is error#:0

HTML Code:
// Declare and initialize variables
#include <winsock2.h>
#include <ws2tcpip.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>

C++ :: Creating A Loop To Allow User To Choose To Return To Beginning Of Program Or Quit

Apr 6, 2014

I am currently having problems creating a loop that will allow my user to choose to return to the beginning of the program or quit.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int j;
do {float a;
cout << "+----Welcome to Basic Operations----+
| Select Your Operation |

[Code] .....

I have not yet finished designing the interface for a couple of the operations, but right now i am hung up on trying to return to the beginning. I believe it is because the j was defined inside do and isn't carried out of the do statement for while.

C++ :: Pass 2 Arrays Into Void Function And Return Values To One Function?

Feb 12, 2014

I'm trying to pass 2 arrays into a void funtion, and return values to one function.

this is the the program I'm working with, after I'm done I have to split it into 3 files, a header, a main, and a separate cpp file for the functions to live in.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void processArrary(int numberCount[], int Numbers[], int intnumberSize, int numberCountSize);
int main() {
int Scores[26] = {76, 89, 150, 135, 200, 76, 12, 100, 150, 28, 178, 189, 167, 200, 175, 150, 87, 99, 129, 149, 176, 200, 87, 35, 157, 189};
int numberCount[8] = { 0 };

[code]...

The goal of this program is to separate and count the groups of numbers then output the amount of numbers in each group. Near as I can tell, everthing should work, but I'm getting all zeros to be displayed in each group.

C :: Main Function Does Not Return Any Values When Calling Other Function?

Jun 9, 2013

The function is supposed to return value from the file in my main, but I am getting empty value. I am trying to get better with pointer. Right now just teaching myself.

right now the only way for this code to show value is when in put the putchar(*ps) inside my readfile function. I would like to readfile to return value and print in the main function.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
char *readfile(char filename[]);
int main(int argc, char *argv[] ) {

C++ :: Best Way To Return Values From A Function?

Jan 24, 2014

I wanted to return a string I can do

Code:

string parseFilename(string fileName){
return fileName.subtr(/*blah*/);

Can I also use pointers/references here though? When would you use a pointer and when just a return statement?

C :: Function Return Code / Value?

Sep 27, 2014

I have a function that needs to return a "uint8_t" value. However before doing the processing I need to perform a test on the argument to check if it's between expected boundaries. Although this function works it gives (a logical) warning that not always a value is returned although expected. What is the normal way for functions like these where I normally should return e.g. -1 in case the test doesn't succeed and otherwise the uint8_t (t) value?

Code:
uint8_t myFunc(int a) {
if (a >= 0 && a <= 100) {
// Perform actions
uint8_t = ...
return t;
}
}

C++ :: How To Return A Pointer From Function

May 1, 2013

I am trying to return a pointer from a method. Below is a sample of my code.

CSubnode * CTest::GetSubNode() {
return m_psubnode;//this is declared in CTest as CSunbnode * m_psubnode
}
//in another class
m_subnode = m_ptest->GetSubNode(); //m_subnode is declared as a pointer

Is this the correct why to return a pointer?

C/C++ :: Function To Return Either Value Or Address Of That Value?

Feb 1, 2015

I'd like a function to return either a value or the address of that value by the users input. So he can call the function like:

function("adress") - gets an adress, or function("value") - gets the value

I've tried both function overloading and templates, but none of them worked. He might input a character for the address and an int for the value... but...

Another strange thing that i observed is that the value returned by the function below is 0, so the output is address 0.

class testing
{
public:
static int x;

C++ :: Function Return Is Always True?

This program that I've made works fine to find midpoint, but not distance. The distancefunction always returns a 1 (true). To try to see that it wasn't the math, I added cout.setf(cout.boolalpha) to see and got a result of "true".

//This program is a start to solve basic coordinatre plane distances and midpoints

C++ :: Get Return Type Of Function

Nov 21, 2012

Say I have overloaded functions with different arguments AND return types. Each set of argument has only one corresponding return type.

Code:
Vector grad(Scalar)
Tensor grad(Vector)

Later I have:

Code:
template <class T>
void test(T x) {
... Y = grad(x)
}

Then how do I automatically declare the type of Y. Do I need to make the grad function a template and specialize each of them ?

C++ :: Rename Function Return -1

Jul 6, 2013

I used rename function to rename a file.

The file names are in std::string type variable.

The function usage is like this

int result = rename (old_file_name.c_str(),new_file_name.c_str());

I expected result = 0 but i get result = -1.

Does this return code is due to any file pointer holding to this file?
