C :: Returning Values From While Loop
Jul 13, 2013
I am currently doing a bodyfat calculator for a course in school.I'm having a problem getting an output returned from my while loop, which determines the user's gender by user input.My function (outside of main) is currently:
Code:
char gendercheck(gender){
while (true) {
gender = _getch();
if (gender == 'M' || gender == 'm') {
system("cls");
printf("Your selected gender is male.");
break ;
[code]....
My failed tries include "return gender" and "return genderpicked" statements in both the if-functions and the loop itself, which I have deleted since that didn't work. My goal is to get a character stored in gender, so that I can use the information of the user's gender in my main function from this point and onwards.
MY MAIN IS:
Code:
int main() {
char *genderpicked ;
char gender ;
genderpicked = &gender ;
[code]....

When i return 0; at the function int userselect (int user, int comp)my output displays twice and when i ask the user to run it again the computers selection of rock, paper or scissors remains the same it doesn't find a new random number. So i made the function userselect return to main(). This works and my output is displayed once, but when i run it it skips my while part of my do while loop completely so it loops the program without asking the user if they wish to run it again.
but when i return main() the computers choice re-randomizes every time so i need to find a way to get the while part of my do while to initialize and the program to not loop without the option of ending it.

#include <string>
#include <cmath>

I am working on this program below. The problem I am having is trying to return totalDays to the main. In the numOfDays() function there is a for loop that adds the totalDays (totalDays = totalDays + days). I have just been getting errors in returning the correct amount of totalDays to the main from the numOfDays function.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int numOfEmployees();
int numOfDays(int);
int main() {
int totalDays = 0;

I would like to return multiple values from one function to access in different functions. For example:
int function1(//what goes here?)
{
int a ;
a = 1 + 2 ;
int b ;
b = 3 + 4 ;
return (what goes here if i want to return the value of a and/or b to use in another function?) ;
void function2()
{
//now i want to use the value of a here to use in an equation, how do i do that?
//now i want to use the value of b here to use in an equation, how do i do that?
}

So I have a function like the one below
bool get_array( float input_param, vector<int>& output_param ){
// some code that handles output_param output
if( error ) return false;
}
So basiclly this function must return 2 value well one of the value is just a bool returning whether the procedure doesn't fail at some point or not.
is there any better way to write this function ?

I have been trying to make a function that compares all the values of the array and if they are all equal will return a value to print true. The problem I am having is that regardless of what values I enter the function is always returning true. Any way to tell the program o check all the values in one command instead I put them each,
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
int compare(int arrayA[], int arrayB[]);

I wrote this code for a homework assignment, everything runs fine but the function void percent_votes (line 66) isn't calculating properly, it outputs 0.00 for each value. I have tried everything I can think of to try and make it work.
Here is the assignment: Write a program that allows the user to enter the last names of five candidates in a local election and the number of votes received by each candidate. The program should then output each candidate's name, the number of votes received, and the percentage of the total votes received by the candidate. Your program should also output the winner of the election.
Here is the code I have written:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
#include <cmath>

My code is supposed to read a five to four digit code of a resistor from a file and determine the resistor's nominal, lower and upper tolerance values. I have inputted my file's first resistor code as a string so I could run tests on it but the problem that occurs is that a get the wrong values from my switch-case statements. I have put printfs after the function call to see what the values were and they turned out wrong. If I could get my return values to be right then I could be on my way coding.
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<stdio.h>
double bandNum(char x); // function prototype that will read the resistor value for the first, second and possibly third band
double bandMult(char x); // function prototype that multiplies the resistor by some value of 10
double bandTol(char x); // function prototype that the tolerance of the resistor is multiplied by

Which is more efficient in functions? Returning values or using pointers to redefine variables passed as arguments?
I mean either using:
void ptr_Func(int *x)
{
*x = *x+1
}
or
int ptr_Func(int x)
{
return x + 1;
}
In terms of speed, memory use etc.I want to know general efficiency, I know it will obviously vary with different uses and circumstances.

After compiling, I cannot understand why my getMost and getLeast functions are returning erroneous values. I've done everything I could think of to try and fix this, Problem and code below.
A local zoo wants to keep track of how many pounds of food each of its three monkeys eats each day during a typical week. Write a program that stores this information in a twodimensional 3 * 7 array, where each row represents a different monkey and each column represents a different day of the week. The program should rst have the user input the data for each monkey. Then it should create a report that includes the following information:
* Average amount of food eaten per day by the whole family of monkeys.
* The least amount of food eaten during the week by any one monkey.
* The greatest amount of food eaten during the week by any one monkey.
Input Validation: Do not accept negative numbers for pounds of food eaten.
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
// Constants.
const int NUM_MONKEYS = 3;
const int NUM_DAYS = 7;

I want to add each of the values that are calculated by the end of each for loop.
For example:
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
int x;
}
I want to be able to add all of the x values calculated from the for loop together. How to do that?

How to total the values that are put in during the loop. For this program I need to add up the values the user inputs and then display them after the loop. Here is what I have:
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main() {
const int firstQuiz = 1, lastQuiz = 4;
int quiz, quizGrade;
for (quiz = firstQuiz; quiz <= lastQuiz; quiz++)

I am writing a program with a function that includes a long loop. I need this function to return a value when each loop is done, to send this value to output, in order to follow the progression. But I don't know how to do it in easy way. The function is like follow:
int goC(){
... // some local value definition
for(int i = 0; i < 1000; i++){
... // a lot of calculations done here
return i; // -> return the value after each loop is done
}
}
Here it only returns one value, i = 0. Clearly it's wrong.

So, I have the beginnings of a rock paper scissors game which i have created before in Java, and i am attempting to create it in c++.
Problem is, the function "int checkConvertInput" containing a loop to make sure input is valid, is not exiting the loop. As far as i can see the two strings are not comparing. Is there a library function for this? I know C had strcmp but i am not sure if it applies here.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
int checkConvertInput(int playerSign, string signs[]);

I am trying to create a program that will give me an value for a chosen from the user array ut I believe the program I've made does not recognize the values of the previous arrays. (Here is my program):
#include<stdio.h>
int main() {
int n;
int i;
int j;
float c;
float a[10000];
[Code] ....
There must be problem cause every value I give n(only for n=1 the answer is correct) the result is "a[n] is -inf"

I'm having a problem adding up the values of the dice rolls in a while loop. The program will only store the last value so how would I get it to store multiples values? Here is my program thus far. I would try an array but we haven't gotten to that yet.
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int die_1=0, die_2=0, total_score1, total_score2, player1score;
char enter;
[Code] ....
What operators or equation I should use to accomplish this?

Keep track of the sum of values entered (as well as the smallest and the largest) and the number of values entered. When the loop ends, print the smallest, the largest, the number of values,and the sum of values. Note that to keep the sum, you have to decide on a unit to use for that sum; use cm.

I'm trying to pass these numbers into the array using the for loop: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. I created two files in my project called "inStuff.txt" and "OUTPUTS.txt". I know I have an error at my input in the for loop, which is a bit similar to my problem or something? I'm also on linux using a crossGCC complier(not sure if that makes a difference).

im using a for loop to find the index values of the tied high scores and store them into string list then reference list in the second for loop to output it to screen however it isnt letting me use an array with index i as an index its self.
void printHighest(Student s[], int length){
int index;
string list[10];//you're never going to have more than 10 people with a tieing highscore.
index = findMax(s, length);
[Code] ....
For the time being I simply removed the idea of string list and just put the contents of the second for loop into the if statement above it. However, I am still curious as to if I can reference an index of an array in an index of another array.

I know that returning to main() is not a good idea but how will I loop the program to go back to the position selection when the voter is done voting for the last position.
when I run the program it seems fine. getting the votes from President to PRO Position is fine. The problem is how will the next voter vote without losing the vote (tally) of the previous voter?
FLOW:
SELECT POSITION (a-e) ---> SELECT A CANDIDATE (a-c) ---> (this goes on until the position of PRO) ---> ( then go back to the POSITION SELECTION)
After every vote there is a case statement for which I can choose to vote for the next position, quit, or show results (and after showing the results it will go to the next position to vote)....

#include<string>
#include <conio.h>

I am grabbing data from three entities and want to grab a field value in each of the entites and place it in an arraylist. What I would like to do is loop through the arraylist for all the values and do something for each value only once. If the value in the array list is repeated, I want to not do anything for it and continue till the end. Basically, I loop through all the values do something for each value and skip over the repeated value if I already did something.

I have this code that im stuck on what i need to do is Extend the code such that when it starts the user is asked to input values to specify each of the three ranges before moving on to accept and tally the main values how do i do that Using a for loop to input and output array values Also calculate the average

I have a program that makes change from an amount. It works fine, but the output is the correct output looped over and over. I have tried everything, but it still doesn't work. For example, a amount of 98 should print
3 quarters
2 dimes
0 nickles
3 pennies
but instead it prints
3 quarters
2 dimes
0 nickels
3 pennies
0 quarters
2 dimes
0 nickels
3 pennies
0 quarters
2 dimes
0 nickels
3 pennies
Why it's doing this?
Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int coinscount(int& amount, int value) {
int tracker = 0;
int amountdimes = amount;
