How would I check for proper data type when someone is to input a value into the program? Ex:
int i;
string a;
cout << "Enter a number: ";
cin >> i;
cout >> "Enter a string: ";
cin >> a;
How would you check to make sure that int i would be an actual number and not a letter like "a"?
// this program gives random number output

what is the effect on output of program of different numbers input to the int data type named seed*/
i'm making a for loop for a mini game which required the user to enter the input number.Let say if the user accidently entered a character instead of integer the whole program will go haywire so is there anyway to check for the error and prompt the user to input the data again?Here is the simple program...
for(row=0;row<4;row++)
{
printf("Enter Row%d:",row);
for(col=0;col<4;col++)
{
scanf("%d",&num[row][col]);
}
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?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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.
Here's my code so far:
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int dayNumber = 1;
[Code] ....
The code, when run, prompts the user to input an integer like this:
Code:
Day 1
Andy :>12
Bill :>7
Charlie :>15
Day 2
Andy :>5
Bill :>25
Charlie :>14
.
.
.
etc.
Ok, so the code prompts the user to enter an integer for each of the 3 persons and then increments the "Day" and so on... When the user enters a negative value (-1, -2, etc.), the loop is broken and the program ends. Alright, everything is hunky-dory so far. 2 things which I can't figure out.
1. when the user doesn't enter anything and just hits return, the cursor drops a line and is still awaiting an input but doesn't show the prompt "Andy :>", for example. How can I get it to repeat the last prompt when the user doesn't enter anything? Like:
Code:
Day 1
Andy :>
Andy :>
Andy :>12
Bill :>25
Charlie :>15
.
.
etc.
2. When the user enters a letter or a special character, the program blows up. How can I correct this?
I've tried changing the data type for the variable used for the input, tried using getline, get, etc. With my current beginner knowledge, I'm missing something. So how can I get this to work?
The program should allow only integers to be entered, while allowing a negative number to trigger the loop to break or the program to end, and while re-prompting the last person if the user entered an invalid input.
Write a program that will search soccer players data to check whether a name supplied by the user is on that list. For doing the search, the user may provide either the player’s full last name or one or more starting letters of the last name. If a matching last name is found, the program will display the player’s full name and date of birth. Otherwise, it will display “Not found”.
Requirements specification:At the start, the program will ask the user to enter information about 10 soccer players constituting soccer player data. Each soccer player data will consist of the following fields:
Last name
First name
Birth month
Birth day
Birth year
The user will be asked to enter each soccer player data on a separate line with the field values separated by a space.
Once the data is entered, the program will display a menu of choices as below:
Chose an option:
(1 – input data, 2 – display original data, 3 – sort data , 4 – display sorted data 5 – search by last name 6 – exit the program )
If the user chooses option 1, the program will ask the user for a data and populate the array of structures that will hold the data for each of the soccer players.
If the user chooses option 2, the program will display data in the order provided by the user (original data).
If use chooses option 3, the program will sort data by last name.
If user chooses number 4 the program will display the data sorted by last name.
If the user chooses option 5, the program will ask the user to enter one or more starting letters of the soccer player’s last name. It will then search the soccer player data for the matching last name. If a match is found, it will display the first player found with the matching pattern. If a match is not found, the program will display “Not found”. If the user enters two forward slashes (//) for the last name, it will no longer search for the name. Instead it will display the main option menu.
If the user chooses option 6, the program will display “Thank you for using this program” and will end.
Why my program isint executing correctly. Here is what i've so far . . . .
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
struct data {
string lname;
string fname;
int birthmonth;
int birthday;
int birthyear;

I'm having issues trying to input data from a .txt file into my array program. The whole program takes the name, # of goals and assists, adds them together to get points, and then puts in a given + or - rating. The program works except for the data input.
Also, this is an alphabetical "Unsorted" list, but is there a way to order the list based on point value and be able to display that as well as a separate "Ordered" list?
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>
#define NUM_PLAY 30
using namespace std;
int buildArrays(int[], int[], int[]);
void printArrays(string[], int[], int[], int[], int);
[Code]...
And this is the .txt file. Order is Players Name, Goals, Assists, Plus/Minus rating. The points are added when points = goals + assists (Should be in the main coding above).

In class we were asked to create a C++ BTree program that would allow a user to input the following data types and then store said data in a .txt file:
0. ID 8 bytes
1. First name 30 char
2. Last Name 30 char
3. Street Address one 30 char
4. Street Adress two 30 char
5. City 30 char
6. State 20 char
7. Zip 10 char
8. Country 30 char
(I'm not particularly asking for full code, pseudo code would also be great). I had a great deal of my work done, unfortunately, the computer I was working on crashed, corrupting my files.
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.
Code:
char value;
printf_s("enter:");
if (scanf_s("%c", &value) != 1)
{
printf_s("oppppssss
");
}
else
{
printf_s("ok");
}
I wanted to check whether the input is a character or not, if a character is given then the output suppose to be "ok", but the output is always "oppppssss", where is the problem here?
Description: This program asks the user to enter a Fahrenheit temperature and then converts it into Celsius and Kelvin temperature.
Code :
#include <stdio.h>
void Temperatures(double temp_F);
int main(void) {
double temp;

I have an assignment to do..i have done it..but i need to do one more thing. Things sound like this: user inputs 6 integers program needs to check them if there are integer if not it has to output a message for the user if the input is integer it has to go further and work with the input. I have used this structure :
if ( ! ( cin >> temp ) ) {
cout<<"Input is not integer.This program will end ! "<<endl<<endl<<endl;
system("pause");
return 0;
}
Where I declared temp as being int since i started, the problem is after it gets the last input still waits for an input i will attach the source code if needed.
I have a homework that needs to verify if the input of the user is an integer using only loops no if statements Here's the problem:
A program is required that prompts the user for a number. The program will then print a series of asterisks to represent the number. If the user enters a number less than 1, the program stops. For example:
Enter a number: 5
*****
Enter a number: 3
***
Enter a number: 9
*********
Enter a number: 0
All user input must be validated:
- Check for non-numeric input when reading numeric input
- Check that values entered are within the expected range for their purpose, or in range based on the requirements statement
I need a function to check if the inputted string contains a colon. It has to be in an if loop as the condition.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThis program works but i need to build an additional loop that will re-prompt a user if his initial entry (int y_n) is other than 'Y', 'y', 'N', 'n'. For instance if a user tries to enter 'Yup', he will be prompted "That isn't a valid entry" and then re-asked to enter int y_n.
Note: If user answers Y he is asked to enter a value that is entered into an array. If the user at any point answers N, the program ends and final stats are cout.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
char y_n;
int i = 0;
float input_value;
float myarray[100];
[Code] .....
If I have a char array that that looks like
char array[] = {'a', 'b', 'c'};
How can I check user input against all of these values at once?
In my WinForm, Our client insists to use Textbox instead of DateTimePicker field, and they want to input in ddmmyy format.
Using Visual Studio 2010 C# 4.0.
PC date time setting: GMT +08:00 dd-MMM-yy.
Assumed today date is 291014 (29-Oct-14).
CodeBehind:
DateTime inputDate;
// the WinForm allows user to input date not earlier than 2 years before today date and not more than 1 months from today date too.
//Assumed I input date as 261014 (26-Oct-14)
if(DateTime.TryParseExact(input, "ddMMyy", new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US"), System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.None, out inputDate)) {
DateTime minDate = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-24);//Assumed it is 29-Nov-14
DateTime maxDate = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(1);//Assumed it is 29-Oct-12
I tried many methods but none works (I have checked many threads/forums also).
//Method 1
if(inputDate >= minDate && inputDate <= maxDate)
return true
//Method 2: B return true but A ***always*** return false, Why??
if (inputDate >= minDate)
A = true;

I have been trying to make a very simply programme that checks if the inputted information is an integer or not (i.e: that it contains no other characters).
I have tried using the isdigit function (but this only works for single characters). I have tried cin.clear, cin.ignore (1000) but this doesn't work either..

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?
