I mean on the executable file. It just displays the results and quickly flashes away, cin.get() has no effect and system("PAUSE") is undeclared.
I never found a single sure way to pause effectively. Is there a method that works all the time? Sometimes cin.get() gets skipped even in the code itself. The IDE I am using is Code Blocks if that matters any.
I know there has to be a system call for a pause function. I simply want the program to pause for a few seconds before executing the next line of code. I do NOT want the user to enter a keypress, just pause the output or code execution for a few seconds.
system (pause); waits for keypress right? I just want it to wait 3 seconds before proceeding. I know it should take an argument for milliseconds right? Also, this is for a homework assignment I have already completed, just doll'in it up a bit for extra credit...maybe...
I am trying to add a small function to allow me to pause the game I am making. I measure the time elapsed using the following algorithm:
1. USE ""clock_t begin=clock();"" FOR SYSTEM TIME OF GAME BEGINNING.
2. USE ""cout<<(clock()-begin)/CLOCKS_PER_SEC;"" TO DISPLAY TIME ELAPSED IN SECONDS.
Now, if I want to pause, I would want to subtract the 'paused' time from the total time elapsed.Say,
clock_t pause, resume;
{
pause=clock();
.
.
.
resume=clock();
}
Then I would do cout<<(clock()-begin-(resume-pause))/CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
This, though is what I want, works only once(I can pause only once). I can use arrays of resume and pause, but it would still limit the number of times I can pause.
What I am looking for is a way to pause any number of times.
I want to monitor a text file. So far what I have is the program reads and prints the names in the file to standard out. When the program reaches the end of the file, it closes.
I want the program to stay active and continue to print names as they are saved to the text file.
I was toying with FindFirstChangeNotification function, but it seems that returns a handle so I'm back to the drawing board.
So i have to use these prototype functions to run loops and to pause the program, the only problem is after i select a loop option and enter a number of dots to print in the loop it goes into an infinite loop and why, also when i try using the 4 option to exit it still asks me how many dots i want to print.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>
int pause(char *);
int getInt(char *);
void whileFunction(int);
void doWhileFunction(int);
void forFunction(int);
[Code] .....
I would like to have my program pause at a certain screen but not to have the "Press any key to continue..." message or the press of a button. In my program, the code looks similar to this:
for(;;)
{
cout
cin
cout
cin
...
//
here, I want to have a pause to view what the for loop has come up with but to not have a message display or a button press needed. At the end of the loop, I want it to pause before looping again. IS this possible?
If so, how can I implement it into my program?
I know there has to be a system call to pause (not system("pause") execution of a program for a few seconds. I would like to give the illusion that my program is 'thinking' rather than just spit out the result as soon as the user has hit the enter key.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am writing an application that needs to temporarily disable the Play/Pause button that appears on multimedia keyboards.
Normally, a key can be blocked quite easily by installing a low level keyboard hook (WH_KEYBOARD_LL) where the KeyboardProc intercepts the key (in this case VK_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE) and returns a "1" instead of calling CallNextHookEx. I have tried this with other keys (including the Windows key VK_LWIN) and this works perfectly. I also have no problems with this method under Windows 7 where all keys, including VK_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE get blocked.
Windows 8 is a different story. When my application has input focus, everything works as expected, meaning the VK_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE key gets blocked and no other application responds to it. However, when my application loses focus, my hook procedure gets called (this was verified by sending out a OutputDebugString) but other applications respond to key even though I return a "1". As soon as my app gets focus again, everything is block as it should.
After some investigation, I found that the multimedia keys not only generate keystrokes but also generate WM_APPCOMMAND messages so I added ShellProc (WH_SHELL) hook with the following hook procedure:
LRESULT __declspec(dllexport)__stdcall CALLBACK ShellProc(int nCode,WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam) {
// Do we have to handle this message?
if (nCode == HSHELL_APPCOMMAND) {
OutputDebugStringX(">>>>> HSHELL_APPCOMMAND");
[code]....
This procedure is only getting called when my app has input focus. Whenever I have input focus and return "1" the Play/Pause command gets blocked. As soon as I lose focus the procedure does not get called/hooked.
As I have mentioned, the code works for other keys, just not the multimedia keys.
Alternatively, another way of blocking the multimedia keyboards Play/Pause button?

So this is the last part of a program I've been working on for four weeks now. This question may be a tough one considering the amount of files included in the program.
The program is to read in a file of requests between two cities, read in a file of flights and cities that occur between the cities. It then checks to see if there is a path between the flights and output an itinerary. I have the correct itinerary outputting, but when attempting to output the associated flight number and price according to the city, I am getting odd data. How can I output the correct flight number and price associated with each flight on the itinerary.
I'll post out the output I am currently getting and the section where I am outputting the data. I'm sure I'll need to post more files so the program can be understood.
Don't want the code done for me, just a point in the right direction! I don't want to let this program defeat me!
Output: Code: Request is to fly from Atlanta to San-Diego.The flight itinerary is:
Flight # From To Cost
10 Atlanta Chicago $134529069
10 Chicago Miami $134529069
10 Miami Dallas $134529069
10 Dallas San-Francisco $134529069
10 San-Francisco San-Diego $134529069
This function finds a path between cities. Code: bool flightMap::IsPath(string originCity, string destinationCity){
StackClass aStack, bStack;
flightStruct flightRec;
string topCity, nextCity;
bool success;
int index = 0;

The following code works perfectly with "normal" C++
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
int main() {
std::vector <std::string> hello {
[Code] ....
This prints "HELLO" on the screen. A function a bit more like NCurses is:
for (std::vector <std::string>::const_iterator it = hello.begin(); it != hello.end(); it++) {
std::string temp = *it;
std::cout << temp.c_str() << std::endl;
}
This still works with "normal" C++. Now, how do I get this working with NCurses? I tried
#include <curses.h>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
int main() {
initscr();
[Code] ....
But this just gives me an empty screen.
For an assignment I am having a user enter the name of a file that contains "Song Data" the file is set up like this:
(example)
1012 C
3333 R
90 E
And so forth for 15 lines. The first value represents the song Id and the second is a character C, D, E, or R that represents the type of song. After the file is opened I have two parallel arrays that are read from the file:
1. int songId[15]
2. char typeOfSong[15]
I am able to read the entire file, which symbolizes playing the playlist in order, but now I have to play a randomized playlist.
It has been given to us that we need to set up two parallel arrays, that are also parallel to the first two (songId and typeOfSong). These must also be one dimensional. The first array will will be indexes into the songId array telling is what order to put the songs in and the second is an array of true/false values telling us if the song has already been chosen or not.
I have that:
void playRandomPlaylist (int songId[], char typeOfSong[]) {
// the size of the file and therefore arrays is known
rand() % songId[15]
// choosen and notChoosen symbolizing true and false values
typedef enum {choosen, notChoosen};
}
I am given a data file that contains sports data for 24 people. There are two rounds of the event. The first 48 lines of the file give the data for the 1st round and the second 48 lines give data for the 2nd round. The file looks like this:
Azrin, Neil
2.3 6.0 5.0 6.7 7.8 5.6 8.9 7.6
Babbage, Charles
2.3 5.6 6.5 7.6 8.7 7.8 5.4 4.5
Burks, Arthur
2.8 4.5 5.4 6.6 7.7 8.8 5.6 6.5
Crick, Francis
1.6 6.5 6.5 6.5 7.3 7.5 7.8 5.6
and so on ............
This data continues for all 24 people and then repeats with different score values for the second round. The first number after the persons name is the level of difficulty and then next 7 numbers are the scores. I am trying to get this data out of the file and set it up in the following format:
Name Of Person
Round 1: level of difficulty scores
Round 2: level of difficulty scores
So the table for the above data would look something like this:
Arzin, Neil
Round 1: 2.3 6.0 5.0 6.7 7.8 5.6 8.9 7.6
Round 2: 2.1 6.0 5.0 6.5 7.8 5.6 8.8 7.6
Babbage, Charles
Round 1: 2.3 5.6 6.5 7.6 8.7 7.8 5.4 4.5
Round 2: 2.3 5.4 6.5 7.6 8.7 7.2 5.4 5.5
And so on for all 24 people. This is the code I have for it, but it just reads the file directly:
// I have already opened the file!
while (inFile) {
string name;
getline(inFile,name);
cout << name << endl;
}
How I can do some sort of formatting on this data?
i have 3 arrays total, 2 of them i am comparing to see if any of the values match at all, and then i am putting the value that matches into the 3rd array. currently i am trying
int isthere (int match[], int maxmatchLength,
const int vec1[], int vec1Length,
const int vec2[], int vec2Length)
{
for (i=0; i<vec1Length; i++)
if vec1[i]==vec2[i];
vec1[i] = match[i];
}
But this will just match the same values are in the same spot. how do i fix it so that it compares one value in the first array to the whole second array, before going to the next number.
it isn't actually writing anything to the file. It is opening the employeesOut.txt file but not writing anything. I'm getting the error

I have been trying to get this to work for a while now - with no success.
Basically I am trying to write a function which the returns the first word of each input sentence in a single string - this is part of a larger cryptography program I am working on.
So for example, if this string was passed into the function:
"This is what I mean. Is it right? A poor puppy abandoned. Secret torturing of dogs are happening. Message: be on the watch."
It should return:
//declared in class "steganalyse"
string cyphertext;
string punctuation = ".?!;:'";
book is_first_word
[Code] .....
But this only returns the first word:
This
Any other way to return the first word of each sentence in a string.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a class that uses std::vector. I push back class objects onto the vector but when I try to cout the data members (with get functions) I get garbage values.

I know I am missing the implementation of several functions but I'm just testing my vector to see if it is working and it isn't. The getBlockValue() function should output 0 for each job. When I push back one object the output is 0. When I push back 2 objects the output is 0. However when I push back 3 objects I get random values. Why is this? I thought vectors were dynamic?
I am working on a wage application with four options which are as follows:
Subtracts an amount from the shop bank account (The account is text file "shop"). You do not need to add the same amount to another account but you should record the transaction with a timestamp in a separate file. The application should prevent the account balance from becoming overdrawn.
List the five most recent transactions to the screen. If there haven’t yet been five transactions then list all of them.
Print the account name, number and current balance to the screen.
Exit the program.

I have a partially filled array and I want to put that into a text file. Say I don't know how partially filled it is. How would I stop at the very end of the array where it has the last amount of data.
ex.
int array[9] = {1,2,5,6};
ofstream output("txt file");
for(int i = 0;i < 9; i++){
output << array[i]
}
How would I stop as soon as i becomes 4 because that is when the array stops?
