C :: How To Make Script Start Over Or Exit On Y / N Prompt

May 19, 2013

How to write a simple script to convert F to C. That was easy enough once I read about how C treats the math of 5/9 being less then 1 thus converts to 0. Fixed that issue and the code works great.

I find it a useful tool and would like to, way outside of the scope of the homework mind you, figure out a way to get the script to restart if a [Yy] answer is provided at the end of the script. All other responses result in return(0).

I only have limited knowledge in BASH scripting. In BASH i would have just placed the int main(void) {foo} into a single function then created a simple if/then test after the function is called.

Reading up on functions in C, they do not work in the same way I would like to treat them from BASH. understandable this is not BASH.

then i started looking into do/while loops. On an other forum someone pointed out the possibility of using fgets as part of the challenge response. Now when I try to compile the code im getting an odd result. for some reason the compiler seems to think that my character string(or is it an array) is an integer...

Code:
/* 5. Write a program to convert a temperature in degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius. *///##########################################################
// Created by Raymond L. Brunkow
//
// This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
// it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
// the Free Software Foundation, either version 2 or version 3 of the
// license, at your option.
//

[Code] ....

//above is were the homework ends, below is what im trying to do now.
/* Prompt for new input */
printf("
Would you like to enter a new temperature [Y]es or [N]o? ");
fgets( BUFFER, sizeof(BUFFER), stdin );
}
while ( sscanf( BUFFER, "%1s%*1s", ANS ) != 1 || strchr( "YyNn", *ANS ) == NULL );
return(0);
}

This results in the following error:

Code:
$ gcc -o hw_1_5.v2 hw_1_5.v2.c
hw_1_5.v2.c: In function "main":
hw_1_5.v2.c:52:
warning: passing argument 1 of "fgets" makes pointer from integer without a cast There is no integer there to be passed.

C++ :: Reverse Polish Calculator - How To Make Program Exit If User Enters Only 0

Oct 11, 2013

I have my Reverse Polish calculator compiling and everything but for the assignment I need to handle a few exceptions that I can't seem to get. First off I'm trying to make the program exit if the user enters only "0" but since the input i'm using is string, I cant figure out how to code

"If the first node is 0 and the next node = NULL, return true"

Here is my code:

C++ :: Make Program That Has GUI Other Than Command Prompt?

Nov 22, 2013

I am looking to make a program for C++ that has a GUI other than command prompt. The program I am trying to create will ask certain questions and display the results at the end after all questions are asked and have 2 copies of the results one over the other that can be printed as a receipt. Basically I am wondering can I do this using C++. Also I want another GUI other than command prompt as well. Something close to what windows uses if possible.

C/C++ :: Shifting Characters - How To Make Letters Loop Back To The Start

Feb 9, 2015

I have to make a function that i'll later be able to use for a ceasar cypher. The letters should shift a user inputted number. This is what I have so far:

char shiftChar(char c, int s) {
char ch = c;
int shift = s;
int newC;
newC = int(ch) + shift;
return newC;
}

The problem with this, is that it doesn't loop back to the start of the alphabet once i get past z.

C :: Function Of Sensor - Cannot Exit From While Statement

Aug 19, 2013

I am working on a project with rf2500 radio sensors and a state machine handles the whole fucntion of the sensor.. I have this while statement

Code:
while(state!=STATE_STATENINETYFIVE){
__bis_SR_register(LPM3_bits + GIE);
__no_operation();
}

which stop the sleep mode of the CPU every time the STATE_STATENINETYFIVE comes up. I want to make it like this

Code:
while((state!=STATE_ABRRECEIVE)||(state!=STATE_STATENINETYFIVE)){
__bis_SR_register(LPM3_bits + GIE);
__no_operation();
}

So if STATE_ABRRECEIVE or STATE_STATENINETYFIVE comes up exit the while too.

I read some previous post about and I thought to change the logical OR || with AND && but din't work for me... state is type of u_int8_t. Is it a logical error???

C :: How To Exit Out Of Scanf After Certain Amount Of Time

Oct 25, 2014

I'm trying to make a very simple reaction game where a random number flickers on the screen for a fraction of a second and the user has to then enter the number before another comes on the screen after a random amount of time. However I dont know how i would make it so that the user cannot enter anything after a certain amount of time has passed, below is my code?

Also FYI, clock_start is at 5100 because by the time the program actually gets to scanning in the first number the time is at an absolute minimum of 5050 milliseconds however obviously this is an impossible number to reach due to processing, my machine clocks in at 5080.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <windows.h>
int main(void){

C++ :: Program Crashing On Exit While Multithreading

May 11, 2014

I was writing a program and it started crashing on exit (segment fault), after the 'return 0' in main(). I figure it's an std destructor.

I started with the program I was writing and just stripped out as much as I could, while making sure the crash persisted. If I remove any of the remaining code the crash disappears, even the seemly unrelated or scoped code.

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <condition_variable>
#include <mutex>
#include <thread>

/* Call stack results:

C++ :: How To Allow User Input To Exit The Program

Feb 20, 2013

I need to create a command where the user inputs a character and it'll exit out the program rather than executing any of the other code.

For example :

If I wanted to do like
char key;
if (key == D || key == d)
{
}

What would I need to put in between those brackets under the if statement to allow the user to enter the letter D and it would close out the program?

Visual C++ :: Exit Application Using Thread In MFC SDI

Feb 4, 2014

I have a SDI application. I created a method OnClose to handle ON_WM_CLOSE of CMainFrm. This onclose() function calls a method in cmyview.cpp. Here, I created a thread that calls global function and from this function it calls another function in cmyview.cpp. At certain condition my application should close at here, I used postmessgae(WM_CLOSE (or) WM_DESTROY). I am having an error as object reference not set on postmessage(WM_CLOSE) it is going to afxwin2.inl page where exception occurs.

Below is code snippetHere, either j or k will only be true depneds on user input)

MainFrm.cpp:
void CMainFrame::OnClose()
{
CMyView* pview = (CMyView*)((CFrameWnd*)AfxGetMainWnd())->GetActiveView();
pview->method1();

C++ :: Exit Two-threaded Program With User Input?

Sep 9, 2014

// clang++ -g -std=c++11 main.cpp -pthread
#include <iostream>
#include <thread>
#include <unistd.h>
void thread1(void) {
while(1)

[code]....

Thread 1 does some background work, and thread2 is waiting for the user's input. If I join thread1 then the app can never exit. If I neither join nor detach thread1 then I get "terminate called without an active exception Aborted" which is not a good thing to have. If I do detach on thread1 does thread1 ever terminate? If not, how to terminate it? Also, how do I check if it's terminated or not?

Visual C++ :: Modeless CMFCPropertySheet Not Being Cleaned On App Exit

Oct 20, 2013

I have a Modeless CMFCPropertySheet created and opened from the main frame. if I open the Modeless CMFCPropertySheet and close it then it's fine all the cleanup is performed through the destructor and the this pointer gets deleted. If I exit the app while the Modeless CMFCPropertySheet is open then the Modeless CMFCPropertySheet gets destroyed but the cleanup is not performed resulting in memory leaks for the pages. How can I make sure the cleanup is performed in that given scenario?

C++ :: Detecting Application Startup And Exit Events?

Apr 20, 2012

I have written ( using VS2008 c++ ) a windows service which sends information about PC usage to a central database, as part of a PC availability setup. I have been asked to add the following functionality to it:

1) What applications are most used, when and how long for, and

2) What web sites are being accessed, again to find the most popular etc.

My main question is, what functionality is there to trap application start / close events from within my service ( just need the application name ), and secondly I am already using sockets to send information to a PHP script on a server, the best way to see what web pages are being accessed is to build in a packet sniffer, and extract the information from that.

Visual C++ :: Exit From DLL Function When Error Is Encountered?

Oct 23, 2012

Say I have a dll that performs some mathematical parsing and calculations. The calling function is only a single C -linkage wrapper function in the dll. I can anticipate likely errors and program the dll methods to do several things when an anticipated error is encountered. (For now, let's not worry about unanticipated errors).

1 - send an error message to the user application using WM_COPYDATA
2 - throw an exception (assuming the calling app has used the try catch scenario)
3 - try to gracefully recover from the error within the dll and keep on going (jump to some safe place - but how ??)
4 - don't throw an exception from within the dll but halt the program (not very nice - the user won't know what happened)

Previous discussions on the matter have predominantly expressed the opinion that it is bad to throw exceptions from within a dll.

Long ago there was in use setjmp.h and something like

Code: if(setjmp(e_buf)) return -1;

But I believe this was only for old C applications - I'm not really sure. But at least someone back then recognized the need for getting back to a safe place in a process.

Visual C++ :: Error / M4 Failed With Exit Code 255

Dec 8, 2013

Basically, I'm moving a VC project from my Windows 7 build machine to a new build machine that's running Windows 8.1. One of the pre-build steps (for a particular project) runs a script which needs to call the M4 macro processor (which is installed on my C: drive). I've been pretty careful to set everything up the same on both machines (including my PATH) but when I try to build the project on my Windows 8 box, MSVC's IDE shows me this error output when running the script:-

m4 failed with exit code 255
