In my C++ program, lets call it menu.exe, I want the user to be able to run a specific program when selecting a specific menu, let's call this program cios.exe.
As the users of my program can have the cios.exe installed in any folder location, I need a way to first locate where the cios.exe is located and then start it with ShellExecute. My problem is : How do I find the path to where cios.exe is located in anyones PC as it can be installed it any folder location.
I've read that we can write a program that displays a menu of commands for the user to choose from.We can write some functions that implement these commands, then store pointers to the functions in the array :
We can get a similar effect with a switch statement but using an array of function pointers gives us more flexibility since the elements of the array can be changed as the programm is running.
I decided to write an example about this in order to understand better the context, I am facing some problems though :
Code: TEST2.c:9: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type TEST2.c:9: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type TEST2.c:25: error: too few arguments to function "*(arr + (long unsigned int)((long unsigned int)i * 8ul))"
Dynamic memory allocation in array in c programming. I am trying to make the user to choose the size of array they want to engage in the game.
However, i have remove the global variable which contribute the error to my code previously. Now I assigned all the arr individually but not using the global variable. However, i still not get the desired board i want. i still keep getting 9x9 array board.
And i also need limit the board size only from 4 to 9. And how do i do that.
I am currently having problems creating a loop that will allow my user to choose to return to the beginning of the program or quit.
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int j; do {float a; cout << "+----Welcome to Basic Operations----+ | Select Your Operation |
[Code] .....
I have not yet finished designing the interface for a couple of the operations, but right now i am hung up on trying to return to the beginning. I believe it is because the j was defined inside do and isn't carried out of the do statement for while.
I am facing a problem in C++,I want to execute a command in Command prompt from a specific path.I am able o select a path and execute cmd.exe using the function ShellExecute but the problem is after selecting the path I am not able to execute the command, the command is appearing on another command prompt.
Suppose there are two cpp programs and we want the user to put the complete path of the first cpp file into second cpp file while it(second file) is running and compile and show the output there, so how can this be done?
How can I take in a path name like "C:myfolderfile.txt" where the user enters exactly that? I've tried putting the arg into a string, then looping through the string to find the '\', but by that time it is too late as c++ considers the '' as a escape character.
Is this even possible? I've googled it and everyone just says to make the user input the path with double \ or with a /.
I'm trying to determine the number of times I have to change each specific character in a string to make it a palindrome. You can only change a character one at a time from the end.
Example: "abc" -> "abb" -> "aba" should print 2. "aba" will print 0 because it's already a palindrome. "abcd" -> "abcc" -> "abcb" -> "abca" -> "abba" will print 4 because it took 4 changes to make a palindrome.
I'm not too sure how to approach this - I figured out the case where if it's a palindrome (if reversed string is the same) then it'll print out a 0.
int main() { int number; cin >> number; //expecting a number for first line user input for (int i = 0; i < number; i++) { string str;
I've been trying to figure out how to implement a way to save this board state throughout a user's inputted path. At the end, I need the output to print out the board states (user's path) of how he or she got the puzzle solved. This puzzle is the 15 Puzzle; but we have it to change by the user's input on what size they want to play (3x3 to 5x5). How to save the board state of each user input, then print those out in order from beginning to solved puzzle state. Subsequently, I would also need transferring the board state to change with using a vector to store the size based on user input. How to proceed, using a first search to solve the puzzle from the current board's state.

Code: /*Calculations set as a header to keep compiling simple and faster*/
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.
How can I create in my C++ program so a user can paste a text and then choose a character on specific line and place?. The above thing isn't that important. I just want to place a character on a specific line and place.
I mean something like this:
Enter a character:
You choosed " / "
On which line do want the character?
You choosed "Line 1 and 2"
Where do you want the the to appear on the line? (left or right)
I have a pile of data, which i need to access frequently and fast. One entry consists of two unsigned ints, let`s call them source and destination.
One source can have several destinations, but this rarely ever happens. Several sources can have the same destination - this happens more frequently, but still scarcely.
Once the data is set up, it rarely ever changes - yet it should be possible to add or remove entries.
I now need to find all sources for a given destination, or all destinations for a given source.
The question: which stl container to choose?
I have tried a multimap, using the source as key. This works good for finding all d for a given s, but is inefficient in the other direction.
Do you think it would be more efficient to have two multimaps, sorted respectively by source and destination?
So I'm trying to make a program that asks the user for a number and then prints a statement the same number of times the user entered. 3 different statements, using the 3 loops (for, while, and do while). I made the program but for some reason the statement from the do while loop goes off infinitely.
I'm making a program for a MMO I play. It calculates the cash and resources needed to build certain 'modules'. I'm having trouble to do something very simple : make a loop until the user asks to break the loop. Here is what the interface looks like :
What module do you want to install?
(Examples: 'Avenger' or 'VLLT')
dd // I input this DD. COST each : 60,000 cr.
How many do you want? (Modules left:15) (NOTE : You may enter a negative number if you made a mistake) 3 // I input this Current Total Module Price : 180000 cr +6 droids
[Code] ....
The bigger code box below is a part of the code I made. What I deleted is uninteresting, it's just the same thing again : other resources, other 'modules'...
#include <iostream> #include <string> #include <algorithm> using namespace std; int main() { struct resources// Defines the amount of resources and their price
I'm using waveinOpen to capture sound from my microphone. I know how to set how many channels to use, but how do you tell it what channel to use - left or right?
1. I want to make a file in the program directory that can't be deleted by user out of the program make that file.for example if I make a file named "123.xyz" by the program named "text.exe" and then exit test.exe ,if I tried to delete the file 123.xyz I faced the error and I could not do it but by the test.exe program that make that file.
2. I heard about a function called "Parbegin()".any way i want to know is there any possible way to run two or more functions of a file.c together,like the parbegin function did an do in OS?
I need to write a program to make the user input some text, and the first letter of each word has to be uppercase. (have to use while loops)
So for example lets say the user inputs:
i lOvE pRoGrAmMiNg
The output needs to be:
I Love Programming
Code: int main() { char c, lower_c; printf("Enter Text"); while (c != '' && c >= 0) { if (c >= 'A' && c <= 'Z') lower_c = c + 32; else lower_c = c;
[Code]...
I have started this code by making the letters lowercase (I don't know if this was the right way to approach this, ). I am not sure how proceed after this step, the step of making the first letter uppercase. (PS for the program, loops should be while loops)
Write a program to ask a user to input a symbol from the keyboard and to output that symbol in a n X n/2 sized V where n = the width of the V. You must use a loop to process the data
I am stuck at trying to figure out how to do the actual output formatting. This is where I am sitting currently.
string character = ""; int vheight = 0; Console.WriteLine("Enter the character you wish to use for your V: ");
[Code]....
so Im really just a bit stumped on how to get the actual V shape to be formatted..
