C++ :: How Is A Program Written To Ignore Case Sensitivity When Dealing With Input
Nov 9, 2014
I've written a simple program, which asks the user to respond to a YES or NO question using the character Y/y for YES and the character N/n for NO. The foundation of this program is based around several IF statements implemented to aid in finding the ASCII value of the character entered before invoking the corresponding cout statement that informs the user which character they entered. My Question: How should a program be written to deal with ignoring case sensitivity in regards to the users' input?
Here is my amateurish attempt,
Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
[Code] .....
The following are IF statements written for the program to determine whether the user answered YES or NO. The program then performs the cout statement that contains the corresponding character to the ASCII value found.
*/
if(user_input == 121 || user_input == 89)
{
if(user_input == 121)
{
cout << "

The following Program ask a user to input a sentence. Program alphabetically sort individual character for each word.
My problem is, how do I ignore case sensitive if a user enters a uppercase letter. I try using stricmp but ran into some errors.
Below code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>
#include <string.h>
using namespace std;
void bubblesort(char a[]);
int main() {
char sent[50];
[Code] ....
Current output:
input: today is a great day
output: adoty is a aegrt ady
Using Uppercase:
input: Today is a Great Day
output: Tadoy is a Gaert Day
What I want:
input: Today is a Great Day
output: adoTy is a aeGrt aDy

Following is a script written in perl :
#Number of bugs edited in Watson Express
#find server*/watson*/log/ -name "watson*" -type f -newer ./tmpoldfile ! -newer ./tmpnewfile |
xargs grep "WX Edit Bug" | awk '{print $8}' | sort | uniq | wc -l
//
this is log parsing string in perl based on bash file.
Need a log parsing program in C# for the same.....

I'm writing a program that writes to a report in a text file. It uses a struct but with no array. How can I write this so that the report comes out as it should because as of now after i removed the brackets from record which is the variable of the struct my report isn't printing right.

I'm working on a code that needs to loop a switch case back to the beginning after a certain input is entered.
ex) Code:
printf("Select an option);
printf("1. Play game");
printf("2. Status");
printf("3. Exit");
scanf("%i", &userinput);
switch(userinput);
[Code]...
For my program, I want option 2 to display something, then loop back to "select and option" after the user presses enter. How would I write that? Would i use a while? do while?

I just dont know how to get my upper case and lower case equal...heres the program: Write a program to calculate utility cost for ACME UTILITY COMPANY. The company has 3 types of customers (R) residential, (C) Commercial and (G) government. Customers are billed based on the number of kilowatts used and they type of customer they are (R,C,or G).
Residential cusstomers are charged 0.25 cents per kilowatt hour for the first 500kw used, and 0.35 cent per kwh for all kw used over 500.Commercial customers are charged 0.22 cents per kilowatt hour for the first 999kw used, 0.29 cents per kwh for all kw used over 999 kw up to 1999 and 0.45 cents per kwh for all kilowatts used greater than 1999. Commercial customers that use over 2000 kw are charged a special surcharge of 100.0 in addition to the regular charges.
Government customers are charged 0.34 cents for the first 1500 kwh used(<=1500). 0.30 cent for the next 1000 kwh(1501-2500) and 0.25 cents for all kwh used over (>=2501)
in addition residential customer are charged .5% tax on the cost utilities while Commercial customers are 5% tax on the cost of utilities not including the special surcharge Government customers are not charged a tax
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int main(void)
{
int R;
int ct;
int kwh;
int taxes;
int surcharge;
int charge
}
[code].....
the program should quit with Q and calculate the amount owed, utility charge, and surcharge

I tried to write a menu program as a switch-case structure with a separate function for a switch-case structure itself. The outcome for it currently is an undesired one
Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int menu(int answer);
int main()
[Code].....
The output I get is one where it's just an infinite loop of "Bad choice! Please try again later.".

So I have started this program for class but am stuck on what to do next. Basically you need to create a function to compare 2 strings (case-insensitive). The strings shouldn't be altered and the return value should be similar to strcmp.
This is my main file
#include <iostream>
//#include <cstring>
#include <iomanip>
#include "rpstrings.h"
using namespace std;
int main () {
char Str1[20], Str2[20];
short result;
[Code] .....
I don't know if I labeled the files correct. what I need to do is to add 2 defaulted arguments which will allow the user to request that you skip spaces and/or skip punctuation when doing the comparison.
Also, how I can sort the numbers when they aren't justified with leading 0's and if they aren't in the lead string (kinda of like the natural sort).

Trying to write a program that calculates a students grade based on how many assignments have been graded. I am using a switch case since there is a total of 5 assignments, however when I enter case 1, and enter in how many I got out of 100, it just closes the program it doesn't go to the next part.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
char calculategrade(int total);
int main() {
// local variable declaration:
char input;

So, I finally got translations for all the strings I'm using. However, depending on the language, the strings can exceed the space of the user controls, tabs, buttons, etc.. So in some parts, the words are either completely cut off or the word itself is cut off midway and finishes on another line.
I am wondering what is generally done about languages that use really long strings?
Should I reduce the font size or use multiline? Are there any best practices for this scenario?
This is for a WPF project.

There are many questions on the web on how to fix a specific signed/unsigned mismatch, and the solution is usually just making one variable unsigned.
I have a grid (x,y) which should be unsigned, since you can't have a (-5,-3) sized grid. However, I have a Direction object which should be signed, since I can have a (-1, -1) direction. The problem is when I do something like Location_x + Direction_x > grid_x which throws the signed/unsigned mismatch warning.

Say I have a class that requires dynamic allocation to implement a few of the operators. Take "+" for example; I need to create a new object to hold the sum of the two parameters whose size is not known at compile time.
I'm pretty sure the standard way to indicate a failure inside the overloading function would be to throw an exception. However I am currently involved in an embedded(ish) project where the spec. says no exceptions are to be used.
I think I have 2 options:
1. Return an "invalid" object (with a flag indicating an error has occurred) and check for this after each operation.
a = b + c
if (a.err)
// handle error
or
2. To forsake operator overloading entirely and think up a new way of doing things where all functions that involve dynamic allocation can return error codes. but this seems rather terrible too as I may end up with something like:
objA a
if (add(&a, b, c) == -1) // assuming b and c are initialized before this snippet starts
// handle error
Is there a number 3 that I haven't thought of? It seems that not allowing exceptions is fairly common even in the non-embedded world [URL] so how is this normally done? or is operator overloading usually avoided when exceptions are not allowed?

I am trying to cout just the first 5 characters the user enters into a string. I'm not sure how I can discard or not show the rest of the characters they try to enter after 5.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main() {
string random;
cout << "Enter any word." << endl;
cin >> random;
cout << random; //want to ignore everything after first 5 characters entered.
return 0;

In a rather large codebase, there is a set of recurring calls to a couple vararg functions (mainly for logging)
Code: logthis(foo, bar(), somefunction(parameter1,parameter2), somethingelse);
The number of parameters to this function is variable It has all types of variables, function calls, etc.
The code has thousands of these lines
There is now a need for a special version of the compile that will remove a lot of the code, among others is the logging.
Can I somehow #define the "logthis" name into something that'll remove all actual calls to the code. including the actual parameters/expressions to the call.
I can't afford to add #ifdef/#endif around each of the calls because there are too many of them, and because that'll cause some undisired side effects in our code conformance tests.
Code: #define logthis __noop
comes close, that removes the call, but it still causes the compiler to evaluate and validate all the parameters to the logthis function, which doesn't work because in this case, removing the logging headers also removes other members of the class that get used as part of the parameters to logthis()
if I could define logthis into // resulting in all the rest of the line being comments, but that doesn't work.
Preferably I'd like something to be portable, but I'll take a solution that only works on visual studio as well.

So i have this program that takes in user input and stores them into an array and then prints them, removes duplicates, and sorts in ascending order. The user can also stop by inputting a sentinel value (in this case -1). But i am also supposed to ignore any negative value besides -1. When i input any other negative value into the program it messes up. How would i go about ignoring the negative values?
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int input, nums[20], i, j, k, temp, count=0, count2=0;
for(i=0;i<20;i++)
[Code] .....
