C :: User Input With Forks

Apr 7, 2013

So im working with forks and creating 2 fork processes. One child and parent. What im trying to get the child to ask me for a value. Then the parent would start to figure out the value and keep trying. Once it figures it out its tells them you got it and simply stops the program. I cant seem to get the program to keep guessing and stop when the number is found which sends a sigint. Here's what i have so far.

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <stdbool.h>

int main() {
int j, i,pid;

C++ :: Second User Name Input Is Being Skipped

Jan 1, 2014

In this simple end-of-chapter problem, the ages of two people are to be compared and determine who's older. The problem I'm experiencing is that the second user name input is being skipped and going straight to the second users age.

So while running the program it looks something like:

What is user ones name?
<input name>
How old are they?
<input age>
What is user twos name?
How old are they?
<input age>
<if statement result>

Here's my code:

Code: #include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int user_one_age;
int user_two_age;
string user_one_name;
string user_two_name;

C# :: TexBox User Input To Hex Value

Sep 2, 2012

So I've got this form that a user puts in a numeric value into a text box. This value then has to be placed into a byte string of data so that it can be transmitted over as a packet. Bellow is what I have so far:

Code:
Byte[] OUTBuffer = new byte[65];//Allocate output memory buffer
Byte[] INBuffer = new byte[65]; //Allocate input memory buffer

if (setmSpeed == true)
{
OUTBuffer[0] = 0; //Not used, must be set to 0
OUTBuffer[1] = 0x85; //Command mode

[Code] ....

I've put in red the area where I'm having issues. I've tried different methods and have not been able to get this working yet. It only works if I speciffy the value manually as with OUTBuffer[1] = 0x85;, but I want byte 2 of OUTBuffer[] to be set with what I put in the text box.

C :: User Input To File

Mar 18, 2013

I'm creating a program that should create a structure of a list of people entered by the user; the only problem I'm having is with the %c. When I have it, the loop only occurs once; if I put a %s, the loop occurs up to 25 times, but it doesn't write to the text file. Here is the code:

Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>

C++ :: Alter User Input

Feb 6, 2013

I have this code here that counts the number of alphabetic letters the user's input,the number of characters total, the number of words and the number of "the" that was used. However now I need to alter the user's input to have two spaces after the end of each period, no spaces between a word or comma and each sentence has to have a capitalized letter and display them at the end. And I'm stuck on the altering part. I briefly started the 2 spaces after each period but it won't display anything.

#include <cstring>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()

C/C++ :: Print Out User Input

May 17, 2014

Create a program that will ask the users name, age, and reddit username. have it tell them the information back, in the format: your name is (blank), you are (blank) years old, and your username is (blank).

So I started making my program

#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
char name;
int age;
char username;
printf("Please input your name,your age,and reddit username");
scanf(" %c %d %c", &name, &age, &username);
printf(" %c %d %c", name, age, username);
return 0;
}

My program outputted H 0 and an upside down question mark. I was thinking that maybe the error in the program was that i was supposed to use %s instead of %c but im not entirely too sure.

C/C++ :: How To Mix Each Number Given By User Input

Jun 29, 2014

There's this program I'm trying to code where the user gives input of 2 values.

Sample :-

Value of X: 1234
Value of Y: 234567
Reversed value X: 4321
Reversed value of Y: 765432
New value as Z: 1223344567 (each number was taken in both X and Y)

Now the thing is I could do the reverse, and I've been trying to find out how.

Here's my code,

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
int x=0, y=0;
int reverse_x=0;
int reverse_y=0;
int z = 0;
int l;

[Code]....

What I thought about that area where I've put a comment on, I was wondering if I code a loop for the amount of times x gets divided by 10 until it becomes 0 and store it in the value, same thing for Y, and add the value together to get Z. But if that's how it is then how I could use that concept here.

C++ :: User Input - Infinite While Loop

Sep 5, 2014

I have a small loop that gets the user input, as well as acts as input validation to make sure he or she doesn't enter a value that is not within the specified range.

The user is supposed to enter a month number. E.g. if he or she chooses February, then enter 2, or December, 12.

It works correctly if they type a number that is not in the range, but goes into an infinite loop if, say, they type a string such as "month".

Code:
int main() {
// Variable Declaration(s)/Initialization(s)
int month=0;

// Get input
cout<<"Enter a month";
cin>>month;

[Code] ....

How could I go about revising this?

C++ :: Getting User Input In Date Format

Oct 26, 2014

So I have a programming assignment which is for getting a user input in the format of m/d/yyyy. This is stored as d/m/yyyy. I have been able to code all the rest of the requirements of the program but the thing that is giving me trouble is this. The year is allowed to go from 1-3000. The format of the displayed date is:

a zero-filled, two-digit day number, a dash, full name of month, a dash, zero-filled, four-digit year.

I am able to use a switch statement in order to get my name of the month. What I am struggling to figure out is the whole zero filled two digit day and zero filled four digit year. From the way the input is store it appears to me that it will be stored as yyyy which means if you were to enter 0001 for year 1 then it should output it as that (this is an assumption based on format). What I don't get is that the day is entered and stored as d which means if you put in 12 how would it be stored. However if you put in 6 to print the output I would need to add a zero and I dont know how to do that either.

Here is the code for getting the input. The function must stay formated this way as per the instructor. The / is stored but ignored hence the char for second and fourth since / is a char

Code:
void getDate (int& day, int& month, int& year){
char second;
char fourth;
cout << "Please enter a date in the format of m/d/yyyy" << endl;
cin >> month >> second >> day >>fourth >> year;
}

C++ :: Entering Valid User Input?

Mar 19, 2013

How can I write my simple program so if the user enters an invalid number, The program won’t exit? I know I am supposed to use a if (cin) or if (!cin),

But I don’t know where in the program or how I should use it. Right now my Program looks kind of like this:

If (number > 1 && number < 1001)
Go through some function loops
Else
Cout << “invalid number”;

I need to write it so when the user enters an invalid number, the program would Keep asking for the right number until it's given.

C :: Scanf Input By The User Into Function

Apr 19, 2013

I tried to scanf the input by the user into the function but it does not read my input. Read on one of the thread, it said that to scanf a input into a double, need to use %1f instead to %d (which normally used. I tried changing it to %1f and it still did not work.

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
/* function main begins program execution */
int main( void )

C :: Function To Return User Input

Feb 26, 2013

Firstly, I'd like to say that I'm relatively new to functions and my course standards state that I'm now supposed to relay information from the user to the program via functions, this means that I'm no longer able to use 'printf/scanf' combos in the main function.

Is it possible to do it via functions? I've tried the following method for example, but to no avail.

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int getlowR();
int main(void)
{
getlowR();

[Code] ....

I think the following works but then lowRange is native to the function, isn't it? How can I use it outside the function? For example, how would I go about actually printing the value acquired by the function in main?

now my question is how do i invert the odd numbers?(on the 2nd condition)
