C :: How To Validate The Length Of User Input
Oct 24, 2013
For the following program, I'd like to make sure the user input is between 1 and 40 characters. To do this, how would I complete the if statement below?
Code:
char p_input[41];
printf("Enter a name (1-40 characters):");
fgets(p_input, 41, stdin);
if (p_input ....??

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);
[code].....

Im having trouble with the while loop, this program should ask the user for their name, if incorrect it should send an error msg and ask for input again...after the correct name is entered the program should prompt the user to enter a password, again if incorrect it should send an error msg and ask for input again.
the code below does what it should when asking for a name..HOWEVER it does not allow the user to enter a password and instead jumps straight to the error msg..
#include<iostream>
#include<string>
#include<iomanip>
using namespace std;
int main() {
// Variables
string username;
string password;
[Code] .....
After the correct name is entered, the program displays this:
"Welcome, Sadia Rajput."
"To continue, enter your password: That is incorrect, enter password: "
I would prefer to do this using the while loops and not bool statements

My program allow user to draw lines and the user should know the length of the line that he draw in centimeter (.cm)
I did use
SetMapMode(MM_LOMETRIC) function to convert the device units into logical units
and it works correctly but I don't know how the line length will appear to the user to let him draw in correct length
I think to make the length appear on the mouse when the user draw but I don't know how I calculate and display it.

I have a question about finding the length of first sentence in an input string.
For example, let the input string be: dream in code. community learning
The length of first sentence is 13 (blanks are included). My question is how to create conditions for multiple punctuation signs (!,?)? If while loop goes like:
while((str[i]!='.')||(str[i]!='!')||(str[i]!='?'))
it gives me an error for infinite loop.
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
int main() {
char str[100];int i=0,br=0;
printf("enter a string:");
gets(str);
[Code] ....

I am trying to make a program that will read in input in the following format:
| ...text... || ...more text... || ...still more text...|
i.e. every bit of "text" that gets read in is bracketed on either side by the "|" character.
The buffer that i read them into can be of a maximum length of 101 (100 characters plus a terminating null character); this is how I am currently reading in the input:
char readString [100 + 1];
while ( fscanf(infile, "|%1000[^|]|", readString) ){
/*... manipulate readString ...*/
}
How might I design this program so that, should any of the text appearing between the "|" characters exceed 100 in length, it exits and returns a warning?

How would I make it so that I can have someone input the length, width and height for all 3 boxes and then have it output the sum and average volume? Here's an example of what I would like:
INPUT - Enter Box 1 (Length, Width, Height): 10.1 11.2 3.3
INPUT – Enter Box 2 (Length, Width, Height): 5.5 6.6 7.7
INPUT – Enter Box 3 (Length, Width, Height): 4.0 5.0 8.0
OUTPUT – The sum of the volume is 812.806
OUTPUT – The average volume is 270.935
Here's my original code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
double box(double length, double width, double height); // use double data
int main() {
double sum;
sum = box(10.1, 11.2, 3.3) + box(5.5, 6.6, 7.7) + box(4.0, 5.0, 8.0);

I would like to understand a function on strings. Below is a code that I took from my teacher where the user inputs a string and prints out the length of the string.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main() {
char str[100];
int i = 0;
[Code] ....
Now I understand that it returns the count in "int" so my question is:
Let's say i declared
Code: int count = 0;
at the beginning of the code and then made
Code: count = strlen(str);
why wouldn't i have the same result? Is there a way to do it also?

I've sometimes encountered unexpected runtime issues caused by unsigned values being decremented below zero.
Example 1: "unsigned_value += negative_integer_value;"
Example 2: "for( size_t i = size - 1; i >= 0; --i )"
My compiler doesn't provide any compile-time or run-time warnings.
As far as I know, it's not possible to overload operators of primitive data types to check if the unsigned value is decremented below zero.
Any clever strategy to trace such cases at debug runtime, without having to add asserts all over the code? It's important that it does not affect performance in release mode.

I am trying to build a employee management system using C, and I have done alot so far. Everything seems to work fine, but then I thought that I should let the user store the data of their employees permanently, therefore I created a file and then I store the user's given data in the txt file.
Here is the code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<string.h>
[Code].....
But there is some problem, and I don't seem to understand what is the problem in the code, it's just that whenever the user enters any id to search, and presses any key then nothing appears just a blank screen! I wanted to know that how can I check the ID from the text file and then display the details of the employee of that id!

How to validate if the item you want to add in the cart is already exists in listView items? for example I already add CH001 which is the productId of Chocolate strawberry, then I accidentally add again that product Id and I what I want is that it should not be accepted on my listview again because CH001 is already on my cart.

In this simple end-of-chapter problem, the ages of two people are to be compared and determine who's older. The problem I'm experiencing is that the second user name input is being skipped and going straight to the second users age.
So while running the program it looks something like:
What is user ones name?
<input name>
How old are they?
<input age>
What is user twos name?
How old are they?
<input age>
<if statement result>
Here's my code:
Code: #include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int user_one_age;
int user_two_age;
string user_one_name;
string user_two_name;

So I've got this form that a user puts in a numeric value into a text box. This value then has to be placed into a byte string of data so that it can be transmitted over as a packet. Bellow is what I have so far:
Code:
Byte[] OUTBuffer = new byte[65];//Allocate output memory buffer
Byte[] INBuffer = new byte[65]; //Allocate input memory buffer
if (setmSpeed == true)
{
OUTBuffer[0] = 0; //Not used, must be set to 0
OUTBuffer[1] = 0x85; //Command mode
[Code] ....
I've put in red the area where I'm having issues. I've tried different methods and have not been able to get this working yet. It only works if I speciffy the value manually as with OUTBuffer[1] = 0x85;, but I want byte 2 of OUTBuffer[] to be set with what I put in the text box.

I'm creating a program that should create a structure of a list of people entered by the user; the only problem I'm having is with the %c. When I have it, the loop only occurs once; if I put a %s, the loop occurs up to 25 times, but it doesn't write to the text file. Here is the code:
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>

So im working with forks and creating 2 fork processes. One child and parent. What im trying to get the child to ask me for a value. Then the parent would start to figure out the value and keep trying. Once it figures it out its tells them you got it and simply stops the program. I cant seem to get the program to keep guessing and stop when the number is found which sends a sigint. Here's what i have so far.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
int main() {
int j, i,pid;

I have this code here that counts the number of alphabetic letters the user's input,the number of characters total, the number of words and the number of "the" that was used. However now I need to alter the user's input to have two spaces after the end of each period, no spaces between a word or comma and each sentence has to have a capitalized letter and display them at the end. And I'm stuck on the altering part. I briefly started the 2 spaces after each period but it won't display anything.
#include <cstring>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()

I have written a program and i had to pass an array into a function and now i have a variable for the subscript of the array and i was the user to input data, specificlly a string, more specifically first and last name without having to create two arrays, i have to do this with other things in the program as well, here is part of the program:
int addFunc(const int totNum, string city[],string state[],string street[],string name[],
int addNum[],int zip[],int telNum[],double bal[],int dateLp[], int addCount, int accNum, int usNum)//function will add a new account {
int countAf = 1;

since around 2hours im really fighting with the cin command.It doesn't matter what exactly im trying, it's just not waiting for user input and keeps directly using 0 as "entered" value.
int Value;
cout << "Enter a new value: " << endl;
cin >> Value;
cout << "The value has been set to: " << Value;

I'm trying to make a simple program that accepts user input, simple stuff. When the user (me) enters a number to be sent to the console and i press enter so it accepts the data, it closes the command prompt and thus ending the program. I just need to find a key that i can use to continue but doesn't close cmd.
