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);
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> using namespace std; Validation :: Validation() { name = " "; id = 0;
How I could correctly validate user input when the user inputs a numeric value that will be float pay1, pay2, pay3, pay4. However, the if statement that I wrote crashes after I test the validation. I been told that scanf is dangerous, but strtol works best, but how to write a validation with strtol.
#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #include <conio.h> #define ARRAYSIZE 2 #define FORMAT "First Name Pago1 Pago2 Pago3 Pago4 Total Net" #define FORMATHEADER "Last Name "
i'm making a for loop for a mini game which required the user to enter the input number.Let say if the user accidently entered a character instead of integer the whole program will go haywire so is there anyway to check for the error and prompt the user to input the data again?Here is the simple program...
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?
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
I have a question about my program.. I would like to make a program that if you put "ABC" on INT, the program will restart again... below are my coding...but it not works..if i put ABC on INT, the "Invalid Mark.. please re-insert mark :" will repeat, repeat and repeat infinitely...
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.
#include <iostream> #include <iomanip> using namespace std;
// Function Prototype void sortArray(int array[], int size);

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.
I need validation on what the user inputs. Input should not be an alphabet, empty, and not negative number. This program is for finding the GCD and LCM of multiple numbers.
#include <stdio.h> void bubble_sort(int numbers[], int len) { int i, j; int swapped;
class Program { //Accept two input parameter and returns two out value public static void rect(int len, int width, out int area, out int perimeter) { area = len * width; perimeter = 2 * (len + width);
[Code] .....
why is the static keyword required in the method signature for the rect() method. It will not compile if it is absent. why?
the same is true for this example:
class Program { static void printvalues(params int[] passedin) { foreach (var printthis in passedin) { Console.WriteLine(printthis);
[Code] ....
This code won't compile without the static keyword in the printvalues() method signature. why?
How would you be able to show both outputs celsius and Fahrenheit and my temperature conversion is coming up wrong when i enter in the input. here is my code...
#include<iostream> using namespace std; int main(){ double celsius; double fahrenheit;
So I'm writing a program that will read a text file and it will do certain "functions" the text file will be like a game, and the program will be able to run many different games. The problem i'm having is in one of the "functions" i believe it's the one meant to get a correct choice from a file and a user input and put them into strings, it gets the wrong input. I know this because i tested both strings the "function" writes too. it gets the correct file answer but the user input is always "c" for some reason.
#include "stdafx.h" #include <iostream> #include <iomanip> #include <fstream> #include <string> #include <stdlib.h> using namespace std; int progfiles() {
[Code] ....
This is the code, most likely the section that is surrounded with "///" contains the problematic "functions." This is the command Line output...investigate why they're dieing or continue on your journey?(i-investigate/c-continue) got input and answer
i c i Press any key to continue . . .
The got input and answer are tests to make sure it got both, the first 'i' is my input, the 'c' is what it says my input is, and the 'i' is the correct answer from the file. this is the part of the file that the program reads to get that output
"1 Do you want to go investigate why they're dieing or continue on your journey?(i-investigate/c-continue) 2 8 i 7 3 4 You continue on picking up speed to get to the egg first.. and.. Oh No, You accidentally bumped into the walls! 2 12 5 1 You go over, and as you realize the walls are acidic and that's why the other sperm are dieing.. 2 6"
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.
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;
I am trying to get each step down before proceeding to the next one for my problem. I have started my program into returning the Area and Volume of a cylinder. The return numbers I get are huge and I cannot figure out why.My header file
Something I am noticing is that temp right after the assignment to *bar, is not the same value as *bar. This is for a project at work and the code runs on an embedded board with an ARM processor. I've copied the function into a standalone program for both Visual Studio and Code::Blocks and it works correctly there.
I'm writing a program to check whether codes from a file are invalid, valid, inactive, or valid and active, but can't get it to work properly. The invalid codes are being found, but the other three are not. I think it may have something to do with my "active" function.
My issue is regardless of which date I input its always defaulting to the values I have set in my constructor in my implementation file in the else statement. So the values always default to 3/15/2006 I think its something to do with the logic in my bool function but I may be incorrect.
header //date.h header #include <iostream> #include <string> using namespace std;
enum DateFormat {numeric, standard, alternative}; const int MIN_YEAR = 1900; const int MAX_YEAR = 2015;
I'm trying to make a function that verifies if the char entered is consonant, if not, prompts user to enter another char and when it meets the criteria, return the char. I was able to do this using switch statements (which works, and i'll paste it below) but I wanted to know if there was an easier, perhaps more elegant solution for accomplishing this goal.
char isCons () // data validation for consonants{ char userCons; bool notCons = false; cout << "Please enter a consonant: "; cin >> userCons;
So I am writing a multiform multiclass project for a class and I initially set out to create a validate class to check all of my text boxes. However after writing a few simple boolean functions to check if the box was empty or not, or if it was indeed an integer, decimal ect. I realized I was going to have to call these functions for every text box and also have all of my decision making based on the returned boolean variable still in the code portion of my form. I was wondering how do most people do it, should I write a class that validates the entire form at once(one form has 7 text boxes, one has 9). I suppose I am asking what would the industry standard be, how would a professional do it? While my simple functions would work, and while I could write one large function that validates them all at once both paths leave something to be desired in terms of re-usability for the entire form validation, and compact/cleanliness of code for the simple functions.
My validate class currently stands like this:
class Validate { bool isValid = true; int trash; bool valid_string(string input) //parameter is textbox.text property { if (input == string.Empty)
