C :: Program That Displays Menu Of Commands For User To Choose From

Aug 1, 2013

I've read that we can write a program that displays a menu of commands for the user to choose from.We can write some functions that implement these commands, then store pointers to the functions in the array :

Code:
void ( *file_cmd[])(void) = { new_cmd , open_cmd }; // 2 cmd's for simplicity

We can get a similar effect with a switch statement but using an array of function pointers gives us more flexibility since the elements of the array can be changed as the programm is running.

I decided to write an example about this in order to understand better the context, I am facing some problems though :

Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
typedef void (*p_foo) (int);
void foo(int x);
void foo2(int y);

[Code] .....

The problems are :

Code:
TEST2.c:9: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
TEST2.c:9: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
TEST2.c:25: error: too few arguments to function "*(arr + (long unsigned int)((long unsigned int)i * 8ul))"

C++ :: Creating A Loop To Allow User To Choose To Return To Beginning Of Program Or Quit

Apr 6, 2014

I am currently having problems creating a loop that will allow my user to choose to return to the beginning of the program or quit.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int j;
do {float a;
cout << "+----Welcome to Basic Operations----+
| Select Your Operation |

[Code] .....

I have not yet finished designing the interface for a couple of the operations, but right now i am hung up on trying to return to the beginning. I believe it is because the j was defined inside do and isn't carried out of the do statement for while.

C# :: Make User Choose A Specific Path?

May 24, 2014

I am working on a program in C# that should make a user choose a specific path for the program to work.

The path they are choosing is a path for a game and from that selected path I use coding to load pictures from to the program.

Anyhow

I am able to make the user choose a path and save the selected path in a xml file.

But the user can select ANY path.

How could I do to make the user choose a specific path that I want them to choose?

C++ :: How To Skip A Block Of Commands When User Interrupts

Nov 3, 2014

I am working on a program that does something like this,

Void main() {
cout<<"H";timedelay(1);
cout<<"E";timedelay(1);
cout<<"L";timedelay(1);
cout<<"L";timedelay(1);
cout<<"O";timedelay(1); //timedelay(int a) is a function which gives a delay of 'a' seconds.
{
....
}
}

This code is just for fancy and I would like to squish in some statements which would give the user an option to skip it (by entering any keyboard key),and resume with the rest of the program.

C++ :: Menu Program Broken Down Into Series Of Calls To Function For Each Of Menu Items

Aug 19, 2013

I am trying to write a menu program that will be broken down into a series of calls to function for each of the menu items. Two of the menu items will be simple programs which I wrote.

I want two of the functions to run one of the two programs I am trying to include as items in the menu.

So far I am only familiar with variables, loops, if statements, and I just learned how to write functions.

The problem I am have is that I don't quite understand how to write a function that will run one of the two programs. Also I am having a hard time writing the program in away that would allow the user to select the menu items.

C :: Program Based On Menu System - Option To Go Back To A Previous Menu

Apr 7, 2014

I'm creating a program that is based on a menu system. Basically each menu is its own user-defined function. The problem is at each menu you can input 'b' to go to the previous menu. I just have it call the function of that menu.

However, do the functions need to complete themselves eventually? If I just keep calling functions will I just keep going further and further deeper into ever running functions?

If so how do I avoid this and yet keep the option to go back to a previous menu/function?

C :: Gzip System Linux - Program To Unite 2 Commands Into 1 Command

Sep 15, 2013

I'm writing a program to turn the two commands "gunzip file.tar.gz" then "tar -xvf file.tar" into "x file.tar.gz", but I've ran into a problem I can't find a solution to, here are the outputs I get depending on if I use a gunzip -f flag in my system() call or not:

if I use: (void)system("gunzip ", store );
> x file.tar.gz
gzip: compressed data not read from a terminal. Use -f to force decompression.
type: gzip -h
store 1: file.tar.gz
tar: option requires an argument -- 'f'

[code]....

I don't know if the problem is something to do with my code or something to do with gunzip and if it is to do with gunzip if I can even solve it with my code? I've tried for a while to find more info and read the gunzip man file, ran "gunzip file.tar.gz" outside of my program and found that it works normally producing file.tar so I suspect the problem is related to system()?

C :: Program That Accepts First / Last Name And Displays It Through Another Function

Sep 25, 2014

I was trying to code a program that accepts your first name and then last name and then displays it through another function. I have checked that the assignments are between similar type of variables and pointers, but I don't seem to get it right.

When first input is taken and then second one, the first one's value changes to same as the second. E.G if first name is L and second name is S and after second input both variables, first and sec, become equal to S. Why?

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
//FUNCTION PROTOTYPES
char *input(void);

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/C++ :: Let User Select Data Type From Menu

Nov 17, 2014

I have created a generic array-like template to create arrays of different types. Now I need to get user input from a menu about which type of array they are building. I tried having the user enter a number and using that number to pick a string from an array of constant strings. But pretty obviously, that threw a type conversion error. Is there a way to convert the literal string of a type into it's type or refer to a type directly.

Here is the code I need to fit a type into at runtime:

SimpleVector<TYPE> myVect = SimpleVector<TYPE>(dataSize);

C# :: DataGridView - Context Menu To Show Up When User Right Clicks On Fifth Column

May 22, 2014

I have a datagridview with many columns. I want a context menu to show up when user right-clicks on the fifth column (column index = 4).

private void dgv_CellMouseClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellMouseEventArgs e) {
if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right) {
DataGridView.HitTestInfo hit = dgv.HitTest(e.X, e.Y);
if (hit.ColumnIndex == 4) {
contextMenuStrip1.Show(Cursor.Position);
}
}
}

The problem is, the hit.ColumnIndex value is either 0, -1 or 1, no matter where I click. So the condition never met and the context menu never shows up. Why the values 0, -1 or 1?

C++ :: Allow User To Select Repeatedly Operation To Be Performed From Displayed Menu Of Actions

May 1, 2013

Write a user-friendly C++ program that allows a user to select repeatedly an operation to be performed from a displayed menu of actions. The menu includes the following items:

1. Simple Statistics
2. Vector Addition
3. Dot Product
4. Exit

The menu actions are described by the following points:

Simple Statistics: This action includes finding the average, and standard deviation of a list of data items. The option should allow the user to specify the name of a file from which the data are read into an array. All the results of this option are displayed on the screen.

Vector Addition: This action allows the user to enter the name of a file from which two vectors, V1 and V2, of equal size N are read. Accordingly, the two vectors are added, and displayed along with the resultant vector on the screen. Your program should check that the two added vectors are of the same size. Otherwise, the program should display a message and allow the user to make another choice from the menu.

Dot Product: This action is similar to the Vector Addition in terms of input, output, and checking validity of the vector operands.

Exit: This action terminates the program.

Your program should include at least the following functions:

1. A function, called ReadVector(), which reads a vector of any size from a given file name, and returns the vector and its size to the caller. The function prototype is defined as follows:

void ReadVector(double V[], int &size, ifstream infile);

2. A function, called DisplayMenu(), which displays the menu and returns the user’s choice as an integer value between 1 and 4. The function prototype is defined as follows:
int DisplayMenu (void);

3. A function, called VectorAdd(), which performs the addition of two vectors, A and B, and returns the resultant vector, C. The function prototype is defined as follows:

void VectorAdd(const double A[], const double B[], double C[], int size);
The sum of two vectors, A = (a1, a2, …, an) and B = (b1, b2, …, bn) of size n, is defined as: C = A + B.
Where, C = (c1, c2, …, cn), and ci = ai + bi, for1 i n .

4. A function, called DotProduct(), which performs the dot product of two vectors, A and B, and returns the result. The function prototype is defined as follows:

void DotProduct(const double A[], const double B[], int size, double &result);
The dot-product of two vectors A = (a1, a2, …, an) and B = (b1, b2, …, bn) of size n is defined as
n n
n
i
i i b a ....... b a b a b a B . A  
1 1 2 2
1

5. A function, called Simple_Stat(), which finds the maximum, minimum, average, and standard deviation of a list of data items passed to it by a one-dimensional array. The function returns the average and standard deviation values. The function prototype is defined as follows:

void Simple_Stat(const double list[], int size, double &average, double
&std_dev);

C++ :: Creating Menu Program Using Only If And While For En Do Loops

Mar 13, 2014

I just started learning the basics of programming. While encountering one of the practice problems in the book by Alex Allain I got a little confused. The question is as follows:

Write a menu program that lets the user select from a list of options, and if the input is not one of the options, reprint the list.

The author assumes you can answer this question only using if statements and/or loops (while, for and do).

This is the code I've written thus far:

Code: #include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int option;
char reset;

[Code] ....

For some reason, the nested while loop keeps repeating even when you input a valid option (1, 2 or 3). I can't seem to figure out why this happens.

C# :: Adding Program Into Context Menu

Feb 29, 2012

To add my program into the context menu (when the user right click on excel file). I used the following code:

Code:
public static bool AddContextMenuItem(string Extension, string MenuName, string MenuDescription, string MenuCommand)
{
bool ret = false;
RegistryKey rkey = Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey(Extension);

if (rkey != null)
{
string extstring = rkey.GetValue("").ToString();

[Code] .....

I used the following function to retrieve the excel file path has been rightclick choose to load the program:

Code:
public static void OpenExcelFileWithEasyForm(string filePath)
{
try
{
string excelFilePath = Path.Combine(Path.GetDirectoryName(filePath), string.Format("{0} (EasyForm){1}", Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(filePath), Path.GetExtension(filePath)));

[Code] .....

But I still do not load the excel file into my program by selecting the program from ContextMenu (right click on excel file and choose program). Although if select the path to excel file from the program, the data from excel file is loaded into the program.

I'm still missing something at function OpenExcelFileWithEasyForm(). How to complete this function to load the excel file into my program when selecting programs in ContextMenu.
