C :: How To Restrict Input Of A String To 2 Letters
Mar 6, 2015
I'm doing error checks in C and I'd like to know how to restrict the input of a string to 2 letters and if it is exceeded, i'd like to loop and ask for the code to be re-entered.
Code:
for (i = 0; i < code7; i++)
{
printf("Enter number of items: ");
scanf("%d", &item_qty[i]);
[Code].....

How can I write program that can convert an input string into a form that only the first letter of the string is a capital letter and the rest is lower-case?

I have to write a program for class in which users will be inputting:
start time = startTime
number of minutes = callDuration
so first off, teacher wants us to input time as a floating point number such as 09.00
How do I validate the time so that users cant input i.e. 09.61 for every hour? In other words, so the user cant input minutes 60-99 for every hour.
then, when calculating:
endTime = startTime + callDuration
how would I make endTime display a correct time in such a situation: endTime = 09.45 + 00.30
so that it displays 10.15 not 09.75

I am trying to write a program to get user's input but only accepts alphabetic characters, nothing else and I want it to ask the user to enter a valid word until they have finally entered a valid one. I have the following code for it but it does not work properly.
void CheckBound (char word1[], int SIZE1) {
int i;
int w1[SIZE4]= {0};
int found;
for (i=0;i<strlen(word1);i++) {
[Code] .....

How do I have the user enter only letters?
#include <iostream>
#include <limits>
int getInt() {
int x = 0;
while(!(cin >> x))
[Code] ....
But this function prompts the user to only input integer values. I was thinking if I could maybe try tweaking with this one so that the user could only enter letters..no luck though. So how can I have the user input letters only?

I simply need to know how I could swap the first and last letters of the input in this program:
int main() {
cout << "---------------------------------------------------------" << endl;
cout << " Letter Swapping Program" << endl;
cout << "---------------------------------------------------------" << endl;
string word;
cout << "Please enter a word at least 3 letters long: ";
cin >> word;
[Code] ....
By all means, I know this is a messy program and is not the most concise way to write it....

So I am writing a program that counts the letters of 3 lines of input from the user. I am using a 3 x 80 character array as the "notepad". Upper and lower case characters are incremented on the same counter array.
Code:
/*Letters in a string*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <ctype.h>
void countAlphabet(char *);
/*Character counting array*/
int alphabet[26] = {0};
[Code]...

How do I error check if the user is inputting letters and not numbers? For example, if the user inputs "Lab.txt" I need to display an error message. If they input "Lab2part2.txt" then this is correct and what I want.
I've found a lot of information online on how to error check for numbers or a single letter (EX: 1,2,3, etc. or 'A' 'B' 'C') but nothing for actual WORDS or maybe I should refer to it as a string of characters?
Is there any way to do this? Because my program requires I ask the user to input the name of the file. But the way my code is currently set up is even when the user inputs the wrong file name it still opens the file. I want to prevent this from happening so my thought was to error check user input.
/*Program to determine company's weekly payroll*/
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
void OpenTheFile() {
ifstream inputFile;
string filename;
char letter;
int number;
[Code] .....

I am trying to build a c++ that reads user input and arrange letters in ascending order.
for example, if the user input: Hello my name is Moe! the output will be: !aeeehillmmmnoos (ascending order)
my problem is that when i input hello my name is moe the output will be ehllo (not completing other letters) also when i change class size to 50, it outputs unknown weird letters.
This is my code:
#define CLASS_SIZE 10
#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>
void bubbleSortAWriteToB(const char a[], char b[]);
using namespace std;
int main(void){
int i;
[Code]...

I am creating a program where I count all the letters of the alphabet from a user submitted string.
How would I go about this?
I am completely new, so simplicity is best. I am suppose to use arrays.

My problem says: Have the user enter a number from 1-80 then print out a string of random letters(a to z lowercase) of that length.
I have been able to enter the number and output the correct amount of letters but i can't figure out how to get them to be in a random order and not in alphabetical. Here is what I have so far.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int i=0;
int num;
cout<<"How many letters do yu want in your random string?";
[Code]....

I'm having trouble trying to turn a word into letters. I've seen other posts but they deal with a sentence and it only outputs the words only. What I want to know is how do they take a word (Ex: "word") and break it into individual letters, where I want to store them in a vector of string?
If it's not too much trouble, I would prefer without using pointers or "std:: " marks, since I am trying to avoid pointers and I'm using "using namespace std" all the time.
Ex:
In the example "word", it should output into:
"w"
"o"
"r"
"d"
and I will push them back into a vector of string where each vector element contains a letter.

I've to use recursion function that return if the string has a same letters:
for example: - fff = true
- fFf = false
I did this but the return answer is always: NOT!
bool iSameLetters(char str[SIZE]) {
if(str[0]='
