C :: Validation Loop - Displays Error Message When Input Is Outside The Range

May 14, 2013

I am trying to get this simple validation loop to work so that it only displays the error message when the input is outside the range 1-3. yet it always seems to display the message.

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

int Menu ();
int ValidInt(int , int );

Visual C++ :: Input Validation Error Using Arrays

Jul 18, 2013

I have not completed this program yet, but I have already run into a snag. For the Input Validation part, every time you enter a number regardless if it is positive it will still display the cout statement: "Please enter positive values". The program runs correctly where I currently am at, but it just keeps reading that statement even if a user enters a positive value. I have run the debugger, but it really is not showing me anything other than I notice it jumping to that statement after every value that is entered.

Here is my code, once again I have not finished this yet, but I would really like to get this fixed first before I continue. I will keep debugging in the meantime...

Code:
// 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 two-dimensional 3 X 7 array, where each row represents a different monkey and each column represents a different day of the week. The program should first 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.

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

int main() {
double totalAverage = 0; // variable to store the total average, initalized to zero

C :: Unscramble User Input - Error In Loop

Sep 24, 2014

The purpose of this program is to unscramble the user's input. for example if the user entered 'ftooabll' the program would print 'football'. find the error that I am making....

Now, this only works for strings that are contained in the file wordlist. That being said, I would like this to repeat this search multiple times. Currently, the process is being repeated 7 times, but it only works on the first iteration. The code and sample input/output is below.

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#define NUMLOOP 6
void sort_string(char*);

[Code] ....

Sample input/output: (note: all data has been verified to be in the wordlist)

Enter string:
4132dcba
abcd1234
Enter string:
4132dcba
Enter string:
4132dcba
Enter string:
4132dcba
Enter string:
4132dcba
Enter string:
4132dcba
Enter string:
4132dcba

I am having a problem with my "void Validation :: getId()" function its suppose to get the id number from the user but when I try and type a letter to see if it catches it, it goes into this continuous loop. Also with my "string Validation :: getName(string name)" function it suppose to catch the comma in the user input for their last name , first name but doesn't catch it and still returns the name back to main function.

#include "InputValidation.h"
#include <iostream>

C++ :: Cin Input Validation Returns Wrong

Jul 11, 2014

I have this function that is supposed to take a float as a parameter and then call the getLine() method to accept the users input. The function basically just checks to see if what the user input was of the same data type, if it is it returns the input value, if not then it keeps looping through taking new input until its correct. The problem is no matter what number you put in the output always returns as 140734799803512.

float InputValidation(){
float num;
string strInput;
while (true){
getline(cin, strInput);

[Code] ....

You also need to include <string> and <sstream>.

C/C++ :: Float User Input Validation

C/C++ :: Program Takes Integer Input And Displays Each Digit On New Line From Right To Left

Jan 23, 2015

I'm trying to create a program that takes an integer input and displays each digit on a new line from right to left.

An example of this would be:

Enter an integer: 657
Digit (1): 7
Digit (2): 5
Digit (3): 6

So far I have this:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int main() {
int i, input, output;
printf("Enter an integer: ");
scanf("%d", &input);
if(input == 0)
printf("Digit (1): 0");

[Code] ....

It works perfectly fine, but I just learned that I am not allowed to use the #include <math.h> so I have to take out floor, log, and pow.

I'm pretty sure I have to do some sort of while or for loop to get the results, but how to do it.

C :: Input Validation - User To Enter Six Doubles

Dec 20, 2014

I'm trying to validate my input. I require for the user to enter six doubles and if they don't then I want them to re-enter the information. Here is my code:

Code:
while (1>0) {
printf("Please enter arguments in the order: negative mass, positive mass, initial x-position, initial y-position, initial x-velocity, initial y-velocity:
");

if ( scanf("%lf %lf %lf %lf %lf %lf",&MassMinus,&MassPlus,&Pos[0][0],&Pos[0][1],&Vel[0][0],&Vel[0][1]) != 6) {
printf("Not all numbers were assigned!

[Code] .....

At the moment it just waits if you enter less than six numbers and if you enter any more than 6 it just ignores anything after the sixth number (so pretty much does nothing). Also if I entered 1 2 a b 3 4 instead of entering six numbers it would register that as 1 2 0 0 3 4 but I want it to make the user input the numbers again. I'm also aware that "while (1>0)" isn't good programming form but I'm not really sure what to use instead?

C++ :: Input Validation For 5-digit PIN Number Read From Integer

Oct 22, 2014

The problem states that i need to accept any pin number between "00000" and "99999". I need to read the PIN the user enters as an integer. The problem is that if the PIN is read as an integer, the PIN "01111" will be "1111" which is invalid and the pin "00001" would be read as "1" which is also invalid. How would I go about fixing this problem for PIN numbers that start with a "0"? Again I cannot read the PIN as a char array or string.

C++ :: Input Validation - Program Cannot Accept Negative Numbers

Nov 12, 2014

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

// Function Prototype
void sortArray(int array[], int size);

[Code] ....

This program was made to allow students to enter as many test scores as they want and the program will show them in ascending order and then will calculate the average of all test scores. It works wonderful until you enter a negative test score and then it throws the averaging process off. I can't seem to be able to make the program not accept the negative numbers.

C++ :: Display Triangular Pattern - infinite Loops From Input Validation

Mar 1, 2014

I am writing a program to display a triangular pattern using nested loops and user input for the size of the base and character used to generate the image. 99% of the program runs fine. However I am having trouble with some of my input validation.

When given an integer value for the base I can verify if it is within a certain range (0-80). However, when the user inters a "char" instead of an "int" the program enters an infinite loop.

Here is the piece of code giving me trouble. (I wont bother you with the entire chunk of code, I have commented out everything else to narrow down the problem bit)

// Pattern Displays
// program that asks user for the size of the base of a triangle and then generates it in a character the user chooses

#include <iostream>
#include <istream>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int main () {
char escape;

Visual C++ :: How To Debug Win32 Message Loop

Sep 28, 2014

You place a breakpoint at one of locations within the message loop. But I want the breakpoint to trigger when I click on the application window, for example. But I can't, it went so fast so long as I switch from VS to the application program, the breakpoint is hitted again, then the application is frozen again. I don't know how to setup a conditional breakpoint.

Managed C++ And C++/CLI :: Message Loop In Windows Forms

May 13, 2014

I'm trying to port a Win32 application over to Windows Forms so that I can have better graphical control over the interface. The program itself is pretty simple; in the main message loop it listens for a WM_CopyData containing a certain char array, and occasionally sends WM_CopyData itself after the user clicks a certain sequence of buttons.

I found a couple of pages discussing how to completely override the Windows Forms WndProc, but I rather like having the framework do all of the control and would prefer to only latch onto it, rather than replace it. So, what would be the best way to have a Win Forms application listen for Windows Messages continuously and execute a function upon receiving them?

If I do need to override WndProc, what is the syntax? I found the following code:

Code:

protected override void WndProc(ref Message m) {
base.WndProc (ref m);
if (m.Msg==0x4a) // WM_COPYDATA {
// do your stuff here...
}
}

But when I stick that into my main.cpp file right after int main function, "protected" gets highlighted as a syntax error with the message "IntelliSense: expected a declaration".

C++ :: Error Message While Debugging

Mar 17, 2013

I'm getting an error message that I can't seem to fix. The error clearly states that during the link aspect of the debugging and build there is an error that says that the stdio.h file is either missing, invalid or corrupt. When I try to program using any of the other headers I'm getting the same error. The files are there I can see them in the include folder, so I'm asking what can I do to fix all these headers and beware I am a beginner at programming and using any kind of compiler.

This is the error I receive.
1>------ Build started: Project: hello, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------ 1>LINK : fatal error LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid or corrupt ========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped =========

This is the compiler I am required to use for an online course and all instruction is given for the Microsoft visual 2010 express edition. Also the only file I think that's being referenced is the #include <stdio.h>.

C++ :: Range Based For Loop In GCC 4.6.3

Apr 10, 2013

I would like to try out a range based for loop. I am using gcc 4.6.3. According to the link below, gcc 4.6.3 should allow me to use a range based for loop.

[URL]

However when attempting to run the code below, my IDE (Eclipse) reports the following error:

"error: #error This file requires compiler and library support for the upcoming ISO C++ standard, C++0x. This support is currently experimental, and must be enabled with the -std=c++0x or -std=gnu++0x compiler options:

int a[5] ={1,2,3,4,5};
for (int x : a) {
cout<<x;
}

If gcc 4.6.3 supports range based for loops why do I get this error?

C++ :: Reset Range Based For Loop

Apr 23, 2014

In the traditional for loop, you could make the loop start again by resetting the int value

for (int i = 0; i < 10: ++i){
//Do something
i =0;
}

Then it would start the loop again. However I can not seem to find a way to do this with the range based for loop. Is there anyway to force a range based for loop to start from, i = 0 ?

for(const auto &i : vec){
//Do something
//Restart for loop
}

C# :: Grid Column To Always Have 0 Or Change Error Message

Jun 13, 2014

Basically I wanna make my textbox to contain only positive numbers. I was able to do that via masking and regex. I should let you know that the column is bound to a variable which is an int. Therefore, the user always have to type an int (no letters or characters). Like I said, I have been able to prevent user from typing anything but numbers.

Now to the problem:When the user leaves the cell blank and chooses to get out of that cell, they'd get "Input string was not in correct format" next to that cell.

-My approach is: whenever there is nothing in the cell, just replace it with 0. I have code that I thought will do that, but it wont. Seems like the cell was not null, because the if clause won't execute. This is the code:

private void gridView1_CellValueChanged(object sender, DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Base.CellValueChangedEventArgs e) {
GridView view = sender as GridView;
if ((view.GetRowCellValue(e.RowHandle, colPriority).ToString() == "") ) {
list.ElementAt(this.gridView1.FocusedRowHandle).priority = 0;
}
}

-Another approach is to change the display or the error message to like "Please enter a number." I have tried doing this but no luck. When I try this concept with the code below, it pops me a dialog box say "Do you wanna change the value?". I dont want it to pop up a dialog box. Also, i was looking for a message that I tried to give it. Looks like it doesn't even get in the if clause because I have checked. And its because its not null? I dont know. This is the code:

private void gridView1_ValidateRow(object sender, DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Base.ValidateRowEventArgs e) {
GridView view = sender as GridView;
GridColumn priority = view.Columns["Priority"];
if (view.GetRowCellValue(e.RowHandle, colPriority) == null) {
e.Valid = false;
//Set errors with specific descriptions for the columns
view.SetColumnError(colPriority, "Incorrect Value");
}
}

PS:I have checked that both of these methods get executed, so it isn't like they don't. I used some console.write stuff to check this.

C :: Determine How Many Numbers In A Range Are Divisible By Third - Loop

Mar 1, 2013

I've pretty much finished the entire program, except for the actual calculation part.

"Given a range of values determine how many integers within that range, including the end points, are multiples of a third value entered by the user. The user should be permitted to enter as many of these third values as desired and your output will be the sum of total multiples found."

I've defined functions to take user input for the low range, high range and a do-while loop to take as many third inputs as the user wants (terminated by entering -1, as requested by the question)

To actually calculate if they're divisible, I found out that if A%B = 0, then they are divisible, so I thought I would create a loop where each value in the range between A and B is checked against the third value to see if they output a zero.

What I need to end up with is a program that tells the user how many integers are divisible by the numbers in the range, i.e: "Enter the low range value: 335 Enter the high range value: 475 Enter a value to check within the range: 17 Enter a value to check within the range: -1 There are 8 total values that are divisible by the numbers in the range." Going back to my original question, how would I create a loop or something to "check" how many values are equal to zero, and consequently increment a variable for each instance? (This is how I think it should be done)

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
//GLOBAL DECLARATIONS
int getlowR();
int gethighR(int);
