C++ :: Program Menu Choice Skips Over Input
Jun 1, 2013
I just recently finished up a program that implements Dijkstra's Algorithm and I thought I would make a nice little menu for the user.
so the user can input their locations, I use Getline just in case their location contains spaces. However, when the user selects 2, It skips over the first input for the "Source" location and only lets the user input for the "Destination".
Any reason why this would happen? Am I missing something with Getline? Anyway, here's the code...
template <typename V, typename E>
void Graph<V, E>::Driver() {
bool done = false;
int menu(0);
InputFile();

I am so close to finishing this program of games, but I'm running into some issues while debugging it.
I've attached the google drive folder since there are several files (ignore the ones with [conflict], etc)...
First, I have the main menu using a switch to select the game. The default was set to exit. If initially when immediately opening the program you put in for say, a letter, it would exit like its supposed to. But if you went and played any of the games ], went back to the main screen, and entered a letter then, it would crash. I've put in a testing line to make sure that you enter a number, and not anything else.
Now however, if you play a game and then want to go back to the main menu, it will simply skip over waiting for your response and close the program. The same thing happens in the slot machine, I want to have it spin the slot machine by pressing enter, but it simply skips over the input, and I'm not sure why.

Im trying to create something like a menu in a tic tac toe game. I want the computer to ask the user "who starts first" is it the X or the O who starts first? Then the user should type in either X or O but if he types something else i want to ask again .
this is what ive done :
int main () {
printf("
");printf("
");
printf(" %c | %c | %c
", board[1], board[2], board[3]);

I don't understand why my Do While loop skips over the input the second time round?
#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
//prototype
string reverseInput(string *);

I am altering this program to include some alterations for a class. When I run it with start without debugging, it just skips to press any key to continue. It will not display the cout << "Volume of box1 = " <<boxVolume1.

using std::cout;
using std::endl;

I am trying to write a menu program that will be broken down into a series of calls to function for each of the menu items. Two of the menu items will be simple programs which I wrote.
I want two of the functions to run one of the two programs I am trying to include as items in the menu.
So far I am only familiar with variables, loops, if statements, and I just learned how to write functions.
The problem I am have is that I don't quite understand how to write a function that will run one of the two programs. Also I am having a hard time writing the program in away that would allow the user to select the menu items.

I'm creating a program that is based on a menu system. Basically each menu is its own user-defined function. The problem is at each menu you can input 'b' to go to the previous menu. I just have it call the function of that menu.
However, do the functions need to complete themselves eventually? If I just keep calling functions will I just keep going further and further deeper into ever running functions?
If so how do I avoid this and yet keep the option to go back to a previous menu/function?

I have a menu for a project that takes a string input and does whatever option you specify. It works perfectly EXCEPT when it goes through the while-loop (while you didn't say quit the menu reloads). It will spew out all the text in the menu like a bulimic teenager. Then it reloads properly and asks you for an input like nothing happened. While this is not a fatal error (code still functions)...
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <string.h>
double aa=0, ab=0, ac=0, sa=0, sb=0, sc=0;
char a1[13], o1[]="AAS

where to start and how it should be structured. how I should go about writing this program, like should i make functions, pointers, etc. And to display the menu, is it easiest to just use printf statements or is there something more efficient.

it skips the input phase,, instead of inputting the last name it goes directly to the firstname then middle initail and street name are working fine but it skips the street name then goes to city and so on....
Code:
char l[50], f[50], m;char strtname[50], cty[50], cntry[50];
int strtnum, zp, i;
system("cls");
printf("Enter Last name:");
gets(l);
printf("
Enter First name:");
}

I hate vague errors where I don't even know where to start looking for an error. Error happens immediately and it says "Unhandled exception at 0x5981c9c7 (msvcr100d.dll) in experiment.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0xabababab."

I just started learning the basics of programming. While encountering one of the practice problems in the book by Alex Allain I got a little confused. The question is as follows:
Write a menu program that lets the user select from a list of options, and if the input is not one of the options, reprint the list.
The author assumes you can answer this question only using if statements and/or loops (while, for and do).
This is the code I've written thus far:
Code: #include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int option;
char reset;
[Code] ....
For some reason, the nested while loop keeps repeating even when you input a valid option (1, 2 or 3). I can't seem to figure out why this happens.

To add my program into the context menu (when the user right click on excel file). I used the following code:
Code:
public static bool AddContextMenuItem(string Extension, string MenuName, string MenuDescription, string MenuCommand)
{
bool ret = false;
RegistryKey rkey = Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey(Extension);
if (rkey != null)
{
string extstring = rkey.GetValue("").ToString();
[Code] .....
I used the following function to retrieve the excel file path has been rightclick choose to load the program:
Code:
public static void OpenExcelFileWithEasyForm(string filePath)
{
try
{
string excelFilePath = Path.Combine(Path.GetDirectoryName(filePath), string.Format("{0} (EasyForm){1}", Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(filePath), Path.GetExtension(filePath)));
[Code] .....
But I still do not load the excel file into my program by selecting the program from ContextMenu (right click on excel file and choose program). Although if select the path to excel file from the program, the data from excel file is loaded into the program.
I'm still missing something at function OpenExcelFileWithEasyForm(). How to complete this function to load the excel file into my program when selecting programs in ContextMenu.

Can not seem to get the program to perform the calculations within the cases. Also, how do you set up the a prime function program within the menu. Have been trying for five days now.
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
void showChoices();
double prime(double, double);
double abs(double, double);
double pow(double, double);

I decided to create a simple program to display a menu with options, while that is easy enough I had some difficulty when selecting an option that has options inside which also has an option again. While I had many issues in the past I'm finally finished with it and it works fine, but being new to programming and not knowing various other methods available.

I just started learning C and trying to create a program in C that will have a starting menu for a calculator. The problem is that I could do that with a switch/case but the assignment requires me to use if/else.
Here's what I have so far:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int calc();
int menu();
int main() {
printf("Hello. Welcome to the program.
");
printf("Press RETURN key to continue...
[Code]...
How should I go from now using if/else to have those 4 choices?

I tried to write a menu program as a switch-case structure with a separate function for a switch-case structure itself. The outcome for it currently is an undesired one
Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int menu(int answer);
int main()
[Code].....
The output I get is one where it's just an infinite loop of "Bad choice! Please try again later.".

I'm working on what I thought was a pretty simple program. I'm writing a menu driven program that will allow users to obtain specified measurements of several geometric figures. I was trying to test each each time I add a function.
I keep getting this error. error C3861: 'AreaOfSquare': identifier not found.
#include <iostream>

#include <cmath>
using namespace std;

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 :
Code:
void ( *file_cmd[])(void) = { new_cmd , open_cmd }; // 2 cmd's for simplicity
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:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
typedef void (*p_foo) (int);
void foo(int x);
void foo2(int y);
[Code] .....
The problems are :
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))"

This is a program used to test navigating with arrows in a menu driven program
Whenever I run it it works but when I select any option it just producing a 'sound' but it doesn't print (cout) anything on the screen....
This program is just to test the arrow navigation and doesn't really modify,delete or add a new record but only prints stuff on screen.
#include<fstream.h> //for reading and writing files
#include<conio.h> //for clrscr()
#include<string.h> //for string characters
#include<stdio.h> //for gets and puts function
