C++ :: Validating User Input - How To Declare Array Of Character

Apr 29, 2012

Question simple like that: Let user enter some words from keyboard, one word per line until a '.' (period) entered then print out result, for example:

Code:
Enter a word: word1
Enter a word: word2
Enter a word: .
You have entered 2 word(s):
word1
word2

Problem is I don't know how to declare the array of character at the beginning since I don't know neither how many word user may enter nor how many letter of each word. So I go ahead and declared like this: char word[20][50] but I know it is not best way.

Code:

int main () {
char word[20][50]; //array has maximum 20 words, each word maximum 50 character
int i=0, number_of_word;
do {
printf ("Enter a word: ");

[Code] ....

C++ :: Store User Input Then Display Array Contents?

Jan 10, 2015

I'm coding a hangman game. I'm trying to store user entries so i can output them to show the user what they have already entered. Problem is that it's not display anything at all.

I'm trying to store multiple characters of course, and then display all characters stored.

char guess[27]={0};
cin >> guess[26];
int hit=0;
for(int i=0; i<len; i++) {
if( guess[26] == hidden_word[i] ) {
hit++;
select_word[i] = guess[26];
if(strcmp(hidden_word,select_word) == 0) {

[code]....

EDIT: I also get the error - Stack around the variable 'guess' was corrupted. At the end of the game.

C/C++ :: Retrieving User Input With Getline?

Mar 7, 2015

I'm writing a simple text adventure style program in order to practice C++. I originally used char to get whether the user wanted to go north, south etc, requiring they enter W, A, S, or D, and then I used a switch statement, rather than a bunch of else if blocks to move in the appropriate direction. Last night I started updating the code and wanted to require the user type an actual string like "go north" to move, so I'm in the process of converting it over to getline();.

The way it works is the user will input "go north", and if the string is equal to "go north" it will set a variable to 1, 2, 3, or 4, so I can keep the switch statement. The program compiles but whenever it asks for user input, it always hangs waiting for 2 separate lines of input regardless of whether or not you put a space between your command. The move function is as follows:

void movement() {
bool loop = true;
int roomNorth = 0;
int roomWest = 0;
int roomSouth = 0;
int roomEast = 0;
int dirOption;
string dir = "";

[code]....

I read that it could be an issue with getline and the new line characters, which is why I added the cin.ignore in there...so yea the code will wait for 2 separate lines of input and then always outputs "Invalid direction!" regardless of the input.

C++ :: Store User Input In Array And Calculate Mean / Median And Mode - Bubble Sorting

Mar 26, 2014

I'm trying to make a c++ program of this but i don't know how to use the bubble sorting.

Write a C++ application that asks the user to enter 10 numbers. The program then stores those numbers in an Array. The program should display the Mean , Median, and Mode.

Mean is the average of the 10 numbers.
Median is the average of the 5th and the 6th numbers. (But you have to arrange the numbers in ascending order first using Bubble Sort before calculating the Median.)
Mode is the most frequent number among the 10 numbers.

C :: Store Character Array In Reverse Order Then Display Reversed Array

Jun 14, 2013

The program should store a character array in reverse order then display the reversed array. I have also included in the code that will display the actual characters into the array as it loops through. So I know the characters are being stored, but why doesn't it display the entire string when I call it?

Code:
#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
char str[50];
char rev[50];
printf("Enter Desired Text: ");
scanf ("%[^

Is it just my compiler?

C++ :: Can't Store Different Values Into Vector By User Input

May 4, 2013

I can`t seem to store multiple values into my vector when a user keys in an input. Lets say a user inputs 1,2 as the first set and later keys in 3,4.

My vector gets overridden by 3 and 4. I'm trying to pass these values into a function to store them into a vector and use them in the function.

Below is my code snippet

int reconstructSecret(int x, int y) {
int getX,getY;
getX=x;
getY=y;
vector<int> myXCordVec;

C++ :: Read Input From User And Then Store In Structure Variable

Apr 6, 2014

My program is designed to read input from the user and then store that input in a structure variable. Whenever i use the cin.getline() function, it comes up with a semantic issue. Here is the code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
const int DESCRIPTION_SIZE = 100, DATE_SIZE = 20;
struct inventory {
string description[DESCRIPTION_SIZE];

[Code] .....

I left out the other functions. The error reads "no matching member function for call to 'getline'.

C++ :: Check Input And Store Value In Array

Nov 8, 2013

This 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];

C++ :: How To Store Class Info Entered By User Into Array

May 7, 2013

So I have an array of my own class, "Restaurant," but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to store the info entered by the user into the array.

In total, I have two classes. I will show you all I have, it's a lot but I know it will be easier to understand.

My problem is in the AddRestaurant(), since that is where I should ask the user for all the information and store it in the array.

Also consider that I have to use the FTime class as well to handle the time. Basically I want to do something like this:

info[count].SetRating();

which will put the rating part of the class Restaurant into the array[count]

Also, my program doesn't compile because of the AddRestaurant and PrintAll functions since what I am showing is what I want to do, not what works.

//main.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
#include "Restaurant.h"
#include "FTime.h"
int ReadMenuChoice();

C :: Comparing Part Of Character Array With Scanned Input

Feb 25, 2013

I want to compare the part of the character array with the scanned input. I've initialized the character array (colourCompare).

What I want to do is, if the input colour matches up with one of the elements in the colourCompare array, it will then read the next value(I did not include "read the next value part"). If the input does not match up, then it goes back to the scanning part.

Code:

char colourCompare [12][6] = {"Black","Brown","Red","Orange","Yellow","Green","Blue","Violet","Gray","White","Gold","Silver"};
float resistanceCal() {

2) dynamically allocate memory for an array of 100 elements
3) read 100 elements from the standard input device and store them in the array.

This is what I have so far, I'd like to know if its ok or if something is wrong.

C++ :: Using Getline Multiple Times On One Line Of Input

Sep 15, 2014

I've been stuck on this for hours, and have scoured the internet for any insight on this particular issue with no luck.

I'll simplify the problem here. I have a lines in an input file:

John Smith 1234 Main St New York
Carol Thomas 5678 5th Ave Columbus
...
and I am reading into character arrays using code like this:

infile.getline(name,20);
infile.getline(street,15);
infile.getline(city,10);

but when I print the output using something like this:

outfile << "Owner Name: " << name << endl;
outfile << "Address: " << street << city << endl;

(let's pretend I included spaces between the address components, which I omitted to save space)

I get an output file of:

Owner Name: John Smith
Address:

The output stops after the name variable, which I believe is stored correctly. I don't think anything is storing in the address pieces, this is the problem.

I think it's because I'm not using getline() properly in this case. Can you string together multiple getline()s like that?

If this was my design, I'd read in strings instead, but that is not possible in this case.

int size;
int list[80];
