C :: Scanf Input By The User Into Function

Apr 19, 2013

I tried to scanf the input by the user into the function but it does not read my input. Read on one of the thread, it said that to scanf a input into a double, need to use %1f instead to %d (which normally used. I tried changing it to %1f and it still did not work.

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
/* function main begins program execution */
int main( void )
{
double amount; /* amount on deposit */

do ? and how it do it?

I have see it in a example to clear the input buffer for next input through scanf but does not know its working clearly.

it is used in this example :

Code:
#include<stdio.h>
struct linklist {
char value[20];
struct linklist *next;

C :: Getting Char As Input By Scanf

Mar 31, 2014

In GCC v4.6, I am encountering a strange problem. If I try to get a character input and a int input like this:

Code:

int main()
{
int a;
char b;
scanf("%d",&a);
scanf("%c",&b);
}

the compiled program asks for input only one time. On the other hand, if I do the char scanf earlier like this:

Code:

int main()
{
int a;
char b;
scanf("%c",&b);
scanf("%d",&a);
}

it asks for input twice.

C++ :: Input Using Printf / Scanf

Oct 28, 2014

How to store the value in this case.. The topic is called "limited summation".. The following is the guideline for this problem:

Write a program in a folder called "sum" with a source file of main.cpp that does the following:

•prompt a user to enter a maximum number of entries, make the prompt "max # entries"

•prompt a user to enter a threshold sum, make the prompt "threshold"

•using error checking logic, let a user enter base-10 signed numbers until at least one of the following conditions is true:

or the maximum number of entries is reached
or the sum of entered numbers has reached (>=) the threshold

•print the sum of all the entries, just the number and a linefeed at the end of the line

Error checking means entries that are not numbers are detected and ignored. You are to use printf and scanf in this assignment (no cin or cout).

C :: How To Signal End Of Standard Input Using Scanf

Oct 30, 2013

so i'm using scanf() this way

Code:

int i;
while (scanf("%i", &i))
printf("%i ", i);
printf("
done
");

i tried several combination of Ctrl+D and "Enter", it's not terminating, Ctrl+C just "cancels" the whole thing without printing "done", i'm running this on linux installed on a PC

C :: Using Scanf To Read A Character From Standard Input

Nov 1, 2013

So running the following code

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
char c;
int i=1;
while (scanf("%c", &c)==1)
printf("loop sequence %i: %c(%i)

[Code] ......

Done it seems a "carriage return" serves two purposes here, one is to signal the program to read in the character typed in before the "carriage return", another serves as a second character typed, how can i do this cleanly, that is without having to use a "carriage return" as the second character to signal "I've typed in the first character already".

C/C++ :: If Statement Comparing Array To Scanf Input

Oct 25, 2014

The issue that I'm having is that when I run this part of the code it seems to enter the if statement and set it to 0 when comparing the array to the input.

What I want it to do is to search the array for the grade, set it to zero, and then exit the loop in case there are any repeat grades. It always sets the first number to 0 and then exits.

//Below is the prototyping for the array

int grades[14] = {60,50,50,20,75,90,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0};

//There is some code between here, but it is probably not relevant so I didn't post it.

printf("Enter the grade that you want to remove. Press Enter after each input.");
printf("Enter 0 to exit: ");

[Code] ....

I didn't mean to leave the "prototyping" part in the code. I was initially going to put the function prototypes in there, but decided it wasn't necessary for the question.

C :: Function To Return User Input

Feb 26, 2013

Firstly, I'd like to say that I'm relatively new to functions and my course standards state that I'm now supposed to relay information from the user to the program via functions, this means that I'm no longer able to use 'printf/scanf' combos in the main function.

Is it possible to do it via functions? I've tried the following method for example, but to no avail.

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int getlowR();
int main(void)
{
getlowR();

[Code] ....

I think the following works but then lowRange is native to the function, isn't it? How can I use it outside the function? For example, how would I go about actually printing the value acquired by the function in main?

C :: Trying To Fill A Character Array With Scanf Function

Oct 5, 2014

I'm trying to make a character array, and be able to custom fill it by using the scanf() function to ask the user for each character spot in the array.

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int i;
char character_array[11];
char *charpointer;
charpointer = character_array;

[Code] .....

And this is the output i get when i run it:

Code:
root@kali-Tulips:~# ./myown
what letter would you like in the [0] spot of the array? :
a
what letter would you like in the [1] spot of the array? :
what letter would you like in the [2] spot of the array? :
b
what letter would you like in the [3] spot of the array? :
what letter would you like in the [4] spot of the array? :

[Code] .....

Obviously I'm trying to grasp C programming and am very new. I don't understand why this isn't working, and i think its more than my lack of knowledge of C syntax. I believe the correct memory is allocated but when examined with gdb i don't find what i expect....

C++ :: Second User Name Input Is Being Skipped

Jan 1, 2014

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;

C# :: TexBox User Input To Hex Value

Sep 2, 2012

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.

C :: User Input With Forks

Apr 7, 2013

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>

C++ :: Alter User Input

Feb 6, 2013

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 ()

C/C++ :: Print Out User Input

May 17, 2014

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.
