C++ :: How To Get User Input To Be Stored In 1 Out Of X Variables
Dec 5, 2013
Making a game of checkers on C++ win32, visual studio
when i want a piece to move, i type:
cout << "What piece do you want to move? (C4)" << endl;
i type in 'cin' after to get the players input, but how do i get it to store the players input in a certain variable? im going to have a list of variables:
string a1
string a2
string a3
etc
so if the user types in a2, it automatically goes to that variable and then asks the user "where do you want the piece to be moved to?".

I want to declare a char* array, and then make any future variables declared to be stored in a specific location within the char* array. Is this even possible, and if it is how would I go about doing it. (I plan on storing any primitive data type in it (not classes or structs), and they may signed or unsigned).....

Im trying to run my program and it works fine until the very end where I want it to read "<name> is a <gender> citizen of <nation>." with the corresponding variables. Here is my work for the time being. Also is there a way to make it where if someone puts a M or m for gender, it will spit out Male instead of just m or M.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
char gender;
[Code].....

I want to declare a char* array, and then make any future variables declared to be stored in a specific location within the char* array. Is this even possible, and if it is how would I go about doing it (I plan on storing any primitive data type in it (no classes or structs), and they may signed or unsigned). I want to be able to use the variables like any other variable, I just want the variable's address to be within the char* array.
I am trying to make a program that is similar to a virtual machine and an emulator put together, and it can only run one os (which will be hard-coded into to the program). The reason I wanted to do this is because it would be the easiest way to make sure that all variables in memory are in one contiguous block, that way the part that manages memory wouldn't have to store the locations of each variable (which would have been necessary for the virtual memory manager).
An example of what I am wanting to do is
char* ram [256]; // Address 0x00 to 0xff
// Code to make sure that new variables' addresses are in ram[] if necessary
unsigned short a = 5; // Gets stored at address 0x00
unsigned int b = a; // Gets stored at address 0x00+sizeof(a)

I'm playing around and wrote a tiny program.
Code:
char bracketin[] = "thisgetsbracketed.txt";
char bracketout[] = "bracketed.txt";
char testwalk[10] = "12345678";
[Code]....
I'm incrementing the pointer to buffer 150 bytes beyond its reserved 50. I see testwalk, followed by bracketout, followed by bracketin printed by the overflow on buffer.
The memory locations are ordered descending from their call order. Why is this the case?
One would think that they would be written in ascending order as I call them. I can only assume that they're compiled bottom up - where could I read about this process?

For my code, I want the user to enter 4 integers, which get stored in an array. Here are the lines I wrote relevant to this part:
Code:
printf("Enter 4 integers:
");
scanf("%d %d %d %d," &a, &b, &c, &d);
z[4] = { a, b, c, d};
Would this be correct?

So I have an issue with a homework assignment that I am coding. I am attempting to get a function to iterate through an array and search for a number that was stored in an array by the user. So far I can take the number, get the numbers displayed but in my menuChoice2 function, for some reason the program is not confirming whether or not the number is entered, and is only telling me that the number has not been found, instead of confirming that the number is in the array.
Here is my code thusfar:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
// Variables that are Globally declared
int menuChoice = 0;
int usernum[1000] = { ' ' };
[Code] .....
To be clear I am not getting any errors but something is telling me that the error is in the formatting of menuChoice2.

i'm trying to write a calculator. the user will enter the terms and they will be stored in arrays. i will be storing those terms in string arrays and then later turn them to double to work with them. but the user should be able to enter terms like sin(252) and the program should be able to recognize it and calculate it.

I am making a multiple quiz program. So everything is working fine, except for the part where i'm trying to add a highscore for each user which is being stored in a binary file. I have added a sample of the program containing the error. This isn't the actual program, which is very long.
class user { //The collection of all info pertaining to the users
char user_id[50];
public:
int hscore1;
user() {
strcpy(user_id,"NULL");
hscore=0;

I am trying to create a simple interface on console to allow to input some values to some variables. For ex:
int main() {
double a = 1.5;
double b = 2.5;
double c = 3.5;
string x;
[Code] ....
However, I want these three to display at the same time (now they display one by one), and in the console window I can move the cursor between input place of a, b and c with "arrow key" of keyboard.

I just started programming and want to make the game cows and bulls. The problem is that after the loop has ended and both vectors are not the same I want the user to 're-input' the starting variables a,b,c&d but I don't know how to.
Code:
#include "std_lib_facilities.h"
int comparison(int a, int b, int c, int d)
{
vector<int>bc={ 1, 2, 4, 9 };

Goal: Write a program that compares the values stored in the first array to the user inputted values in the second array.
In order to fix this error: [URL]...
I had to change my array initialization to one with a star in front of it:
char a1[]={"a","d","b","b","c","b","a","b","c","d","a","c","d","b","d","c","c","a","d","b"};
to:
char *a1[]={"a","d","b","b","c","b","a","b","c","d","a","c","d","b","d","c","c","a","d","b"};
I also changed my 2nd array to one with a star in front of it: char *a2[20];
What does this mean exactly? Putting a star in front of an array?
Also, I am now getting an "unhandled exception" when I try to get input for my 2nd array:
cin>>a2[i];

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;

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.

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>

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;

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 ()

I do not know how to keep making it divide by 2 until 1. I tired this but it obviously did not work..
Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
//User Input

since around 2hours im really fighting with the cin command.It doesn't matter what exactly im trying, it's just not waiting for user input and keeps directly using 0 as "entered" value.
int Value;
cout << "Enter a new value: " << endl;
cin >> Value;
cout << "The value has been set to: " << Value;

I'm trying to make a simple program that accepts user input, simple stuff. When the user (me) enters a number to be sent to the console and i press enter so it accepts the data, it closes the command prompt and thus ending the program. I just need to find a key that i can use to continue but doesn't close cmd.

My parameters are that the users input has to be from 1 to 9 and the same number can't be entered twice. How do i modify this code to make sure that the user did those things or an error message should appear that their input is invalid.

int main() {
int square[3][3];

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.
