C++ :: How To Prompt User To Input Only Letters

May 12, 2014

I am trying to write a program to get user's input but only accepts alphabetic characters, nothing else and I want it to ask the user to enter a valid word until they have finally entered a valid one. I have the following code for it but it does not work properly.

void CheckBound (char word1[], int SIZE1) {
int i;
int w1[SIZE4]= {0};
int found;
for (i=0;i<strlen(word1);i++) {

C++ :: How To Prompt User Input Only Letters (a-z)

Mar 1, 2013

How do I have the user enter only letters?

#include <iostream>
#include <limits>
int getInt() {
int x = 0;
while(!(cin >> x))

[Code] ....

But this function prompts the user to only input integer values. I was thinking if I could maybe try tweaking with this one so that the user could only enter letters..no luck though. So how can I have the user input letters only?

C/C++ :: Prompt User To Input File Name To Open

Aug 31, 2014

I'm trying to develop a programme which, amongst other things, prompts the user to enter the filename which is to be opened. This is what my code looks like currently:

char filename[20];
FILE *myfile;

printf("Enter the full file name you would like to open:");
scanf("%s", filename);

[Code] .....

However, this only ever returns File Not Found - the file is stored in the same directory as the program, and I have tried looking up this issue online, to no avail ....

C/C++ :: UDF To Prompt / Read And Validate User Input And Return A Value?

Aug 5, 2014

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

C++ :: Gather Input From User And Encrypt / Decrypt Those Characters?

Jan 5, 2015

I have got to create a program that will gather input from the user and then encrypt & decrypt those characters.

I'm not very confident at coding so I'm sure many parts of my code are written poorly and not following the best practice so I have written a simple version of an algorithm where the program simply adds/subtracts a value of 2 to/from the ASCII values but I have discovered the use of the rand() and srand functions but I'm unsure how to go about using them within both my encrypt and decrypt function as a single value (static variable?).

Here is my code in its entirety at the moment.

#include <iostream >
#include <iomanip>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
#include <string>
#include <cstring>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
char getMenuSelection (char m);
void encrypt (char key[]);
void decrypt (char code[]);

[code]....

This code currently doesn't execute due to ' undefined reference to 'encrypt(char*) '

Question

I am asking how to generate the random number and incorporate this into my encrypt and decrypt functions.

1. Would the use of a static or global variable make this work as is?

2. Would I need to create separate class files for both functions?

C :: Input From User As Char And Output In Hex Form

Sep 9, 2014

I'm trying to write a program that takes input from the user (thats a char) and outputs it to the monitor in hex form.The program is meant to continuously take input from the user then output to the monitor in hex form until an EOF is detected this triggers the program to close.The following code does this except that I get a lower case 'a' at the end of each output.I think the 'a' has to do with the enter key and if that is the case how can i tell the program to ignore this input from the user.

Example: input from user: ABC output to monitor: 41 42 43 a

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
char myChar;
while(EOF != (myChar = getchar())) {
printf("%x ",myChar);
}
system("pause");
return 0;
}

C++ :: Converting User Input Int To String Output?

I am writing a code in a class that will change the user input which is integer to a string. For example if the user enter 13347..the output should change to "one three three four seven" on the user screen.I'm not getting the right output.

C++ :: Output Multiplication Table From Two User Input Integers Between 2 And 10?

Jan 14, 2015

So I'm supposed to write something that will output a multiplication table from two user input integers between 2 and 10.

For example it should display like this is the user inputs 4 and 5

1 2 3 4 5
2 4 6 8 10
3 6 9 12 15
4 8 12 16 20

I was hinted to used two for loops and this is what I have thus far, what I can't figure out is how to display it like the example.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int num1;
int num2;
cout << "Enter two numbers between 2 and 10." << endl;

C++ :: Output Vowel From User Input - Error With Strings And Functions

Nov 25, 2014

The program is supposed to read in a string from the user and then output the number of each vowel that the string has. My first function is initializing the vectors, and the one that I'm having trouble with is the function used to read the string from the user and save it.

Here's my code:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

// FUNCTION PROTOTYPES GO HERE:
void init_vectors(vector<char> & vowels, vector<int> & frequencies);
string read_text(const string & prompt);

[Code] ....

And I'm getting the error:

freq.cpp: In function ‘std::string read_text(const std::string&)’:
freq.cpp:74: error: no matching function for call to ‘getline(std::istream&, const std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >&)’

I'm not too sure if I can't use the function getline here or if there is something wrong with the function prototype itself but I'm pretty sure there isn't an error there as it was given to me.

C++ :: Program Will Echo Letter (User Input) And Output Name Of The Day Of Week

Oct 21, 2012

Write a C++ program that does the following:

Prompt the user to enter a day of the week as M (or m), T, W, R, F, S, and U for Monday through Sunday respectively. The user may enter an upper or lower case letter.

When the user enters a character, the program will echo the letter and output the name of the day of the week.

Provide an error trap that reads something like "you have entered an invalid letter; program aborting." Suggestion: use a switch statement with the error trap as the default condition. it is not necessary to prompt for multiple inputs.

So I know how to get the program to echo back the letter and everything. What I am a little confused about is: will I have to define all the letters as their respective day? eg. make M== Monday. And if I do have to do that how would I get it to accept Upper and Lower case letters and recognize that that letter is == monday ect. ect.

Also my main problem is the switch statement as the error trap. I have never used the switch statement, but I know what they do. I just don't really understand how I would use it for an error trap. Am I suppose to just make a case for every other letter in the alphabet other then M T W R F S and U? Even if I do that then what if the user enters a number instead of a letter?

C++ :: Best Way To Prompt User Again After Some Conditions Have Met

Mar 9, 2013

Here is a simple drinks machine programm. It basically consists in the user selecting a drink that it's presented, if the user selects correctly the number representing a certain drink, the machine shows the user what was the drink he selected, after his choise the machine asks for money insertion, if the user inserts the incorrect amount of money, the machine shows an error saying that user need to insert the correct amount of money.

My problem is that, if the user selects a different number other than those presentend, the machine displays an error saying that he needs to choose a valid drink, but i can't find a way to reprompt the user again after the error has been displayed. here's the code.

// ***Drinkins Machine*** by Roxmate
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int main() {
// initializes the variables coca, fanta, iced and drink to be used in switch function,so that the user can choose what drink he wants.
int coca = 1;

I'm trying to write this c++ programe:

Using FOR Loop. I know this can be easily done using while loop. But I want to know how to do it with for loop aswell.

Here is what I have so far:

Code:

C :: How To Prompt User To Scan Numbers Into Array

May 17, 2013

i need to prompt the user of my program to input numbers into an array so that later on these numbers can be added or subtracted with other numbers to form a new array. My problem is I don't know how to make the user input numbers which will then be saved into the array for later use. Here is the parts of my code that relate to the problem:

Code:

float Xv, Yv, Zv, Xu, Yu, Zu ;
float vector1[VECTOR_LENGTH] = {Xv, Yv, Zv} ;
scanf("%1f %1f %1f", &Xv, &Yv, &Zv);
printf("The first element in the array vector1 is: %3f
", vector1[0]);

The point of that printf function is to see if what they have entered is actually registering as what i want it to. This does not work however and the value for this always comes up as 0.

how to scan numbers into an array so that they can be used for later use?
