C++ :: Guessing Game Program - Ask User To Guess Computer Generator Number
Feb 11, 2013I'm currently creating a guessing game program where the user will be asked to guess the computer generated number. Once the program is finished, at the end the user will be asked if they want to play again. If the user types "Y or Y" the program will loop and when the user types "n or N" it will not loop. Check out my code below.
#include<iostream.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<dos.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<conio.h>
#define g gotoxy
void main(){
int a,l,b,guess,row,col,answer,num,clue=5;
[Code] ....
I can't loop this program.
C++ :: How To Cut Off Input When Using Getch - If User Repeatedly Presses Key
Nov 29, 2013I am asking for input for a char by using the _getch() function. The thing is that when a key is pressed multiple times it screws the program because it executes every single key that is entered.
I am asking for the user to enter a letter that will determine an action to be used in battle, like attack, magic, "use item", etc.
char option;
cout<<"Enter your choice for battle: ";
option=getch();
if(option=='a')
//Executes an attack
else if(option=='b')
//Opens magic menu
else if(option=='c')
//Opens item menu
Suppose the user enters a character, then the program executes an action by the enemy monster. This is where the problem arises, if the user entered multiple keys or if he enters input during the time the monster attacks, the next time it is the user's turn it will execute the first attack automatically because it keeps reading the input.
I want to know how to cut it off, so that it doesn't ruin the program like that.

C++ :: Spell Checker - Check If Inputted Word Is In Dictionary File On Computer
Jul 31, 2013Over the last few days, I've been trying to implement a spell checker in c++ that checks if the inputted word is in the dictionary file on my computer. However, as I'm nearing completion of the project, I keep running into more and more errors, some of which I do not understand. My program is complete, albeit, with some minor bad practices (I hard coded a few things just to get the program up and running.For some reason, everything works well until I output spelling suggestions. I type in "mses" (attempting to spell mess) and it returns some strange characters. It does definitely recognize that there are two permutations that match words in the dictionary (however they are both mess due to the algorithm implemented), and I don't understand why? I will work on removing the duplicates after.
// Spell Checker.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.//
#include "stdafx.h"

#include <string>
#include <stdlib.h>

C++ :: Program To Search Soccer Players Data To Check Whether Name Supplied By User Is On That List
Oct 29, 2014Write a program that will search soccer players data to check whether a name supplied by the user is on that list. For doing the search, the user may provide either the player’s full last name or one or more starting letters of the last name. If a matching last name is found, the program will display the player’s full name and date of birth. Otherwise, it will display “Not found”.
Requirements specification:At the start, the program will ask the user to enter information about 10 soccer players constituting soccer player data. Each soccer player data will consist of the following fields:
Last name
First name
Birth month
Birth day
Birth year
The user will be asked to enter each soccer player data on a separate line with the field values separated by a space.
Once the data is entered, the program will display a menu of choices as below:
Chose an option:
(1 – input data, 2 – display original data, 3 – sort data , 4 – display sorted data 5 – search by last name 6 – exit the program )
If the user chooses option 1, the program will ask the user for a data and populate the array of structures that will hold the data for each of the soccer players.
If the user chooses option 2, the program will display data in the order provided by the user (original data).
If use chooses option 3, the program will sort data by last name.
If user chooses number 4 the program will display the data sorted by last name.
If the user chooses option 5, the program will ask the user to enter one or more starting letters of the soccer player’s last name. It will then search the soccer player data for the matching last name. If a match is found, it will display the first player found with the matching pattern. If a match is not found, the program will display “Not found”. If the user enters two forward slashes (//) for the last name, it will no longer search for the name. Instead it will display the main option menu.
If the user chooses option 6, the program will display “Thank you for using this program” and will end.
Why my program isint executing correctly. Here is what i've so far . . . .
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
struct data {
string lname;
string fname;
int birthmonth;
int birthday;
int birthyear;

C :: Program In Which Computer Will Read Txt File And Encrypt It
Jan 1, 2014I am writing a program in which the computer will read a txt file and encypt it. The encryption works fine, but the computer cannot read the file perfectly. If there's a newline, the scanning process stops. For example I have the following text in the txt file.
One two three four five
(newline) Six seven eight
The computer will stop reading after 'five'. I assume that is because I use fgets.
C++ :: Computer Restarts Every Time Program Is Compiled
Feb 26, 2013I have a weird problem, my computer restarts imidiately after program writen in dev-cpp is compiled AND run. When I run any program, it lasts about 1 second, then program closes, and computer reboots. It doesn't matter whether program is writen now or earlier, my dev-cpp version is 4.9.9.2. Source code can be as simple as this:
#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
using namespace std;
int main() {
getch();
return 0;
}
and it restarts anyway...
C :: Program Where A Computer And Player Take Turns Rolling Dice
Feb 19, 2013I am making a program where a computer and player take turns rolling dice.
There seems to be an issue somewhere in my loop where when the player selects from the possible dice choices, it rolls for the computer and does not select the choice and it immediately becomes the player's turn again.
I am trying to get it to where when the computer rolls the dice, it should display the list of possible values, and ask the user to hit the enter key in order for the computer to choose which value to select using the following command:
Code:
while ( getchar() != '
' ) ; I've tried it a hundred times and no matter where I put the command it still skips the computer's turn.
Below is my code:
Code:
while (compscore < 99 && playerscore < 99){
printf("You have rolled the following pair of dice:
");
a =("%i ", rand() % (MAX_VAL - MIN_VAL + 1) + MIN_VAL);
b =("%i ", rand() % (MAX_VAL - MIN_VAL + 1) + MIN_VAL);
multiply = a * b;

C++ :: Using Char To Check Whether The User Inputs The Right Command?
Mar 20, 2014I've been trying to finish this airplane seating program I've been working on for a month or two. The problem I have right now is that if the user inputs a number when prompted to enter the column letter he wants, the program goes on to the next step as if the prompt had been answered correctly.
So I originally used string but I heard from Daleth that Char was better, but I don't know how to apply it. I figured out cin.fail, but I've yet to finish this part.

View 3 Replies View RelatedC++ :: How To Error Check If User Input Is Letters And Not Numbers
Jun 9, 2014How do I error check if the user is inputting letters and not numbers? For example, if the user inputs "Lab.txt" I need to display an error message. If they input "Lab2part2.txt" then this is correct and what I want.
I've found a lot of information online on how to error check for numbers or a single letter (EX: 1,2,3, etc. or 'A' 'B' 'C') but nothing for actual WORDS or maybe I should refer to it as a string of characters?
Is there any way to do this? Because my program requires I ask the user to input the name of the file. But the way my code is currently set up is even when the user inputs the wrong file name it still opens the file. I want to prevent this from happening so my thought was to error check user input.

C# :: How To Add Keyboard And Button Press To A Program
Apr 13, 2014I have a problem where I need to add the ability to input numbers into a calculator program through either a form button press or keyboard press. I have the button press working fine though I can't seem to get the program to start with the cursor active in the textbox for keyboard input. I've use this.ActiveControl = result; "result" being the textbox. Though the issue here is the program starts off with the cursor active but only for the first instance of keyboard inputs.
Perhaps its the way I wrote the program but is there a way I can achieve this? I found a way to write this calc by having a single event for all button presses, opposed from an event for 1-9. Not sure if this is a good approach but here is some of the code.
private double num = 0;
private string calculate;
bool pressed = false;
private void button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
if ((result.Text == "0")||(pressed == true)) {
