C :: Strcpy - How To Update Old String In Stars Array With New That Includes Correct Letters

Apr 25, 2013

This for loop replaces the stars ******** in an array that contains a word to be guessed with the correct letter (c) that the user inputs if the word contains that letter.

Problem: After every guess the same hidden string of stars ******* is displayed instead of ex: ***W**** (assuming W was entered by the user)

How can I update the old ******** string in the Stars array with the new string that includes the correct letters chosen, so after every correct guess at a letter in the word a new string is displayed including the correct letters chosen?

I'm pretty sure I have to use strcpy but not sure how to implement it using a loop.

Code:
for(i = 0; i < strlen(unscrambledWord); i++) {
if(unscrambledWord [i] == c) {
Stars[i] = c;
} }

C :: Converting A String Array Into Uppercase Letters From File

Apr 19, 2013

I am new to coding Here is the problem. Have a program prompt the user for a filename to open. Change every alphabetic character in the file to a capital letter. Numbers and special characters should not be changed. Print the output to the screen.

Here is my code so far but i am only returning the last line of text capitalized from the file. I am trying to get the program to display all of the three lines of text from the file capitalized. The program displays the file correctly before i try and convert everything toupper();

Code:

Code: #include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
int main()
{
char line[81], filename[21];
int i;

C++ :: How To Turn A String Word Into Letters

Dec 9, 2013

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.

C :: Pointers And String Manipulations - Finding Correct Path

Mar 11, 2014

i've been writing some code for an assignment and it is mostly about pointers and string manipulations. It runs but crashes and I think it might be from over- valuating some strings maybe not. I have written in check points to make sure each function passes through but quits at findFirstPath loop, I had kept running the program through as i added more and more code. It had stopped when I near finished I believed it to just be because I hadn't finished the functions I called.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#define MAXSTRING 10
#define TRUE 1

C :: Find Number Of Capital Letters And Punctuations In A String

Jan 28, 2015

write a C program which repeatedly reads in sentences from the user and reports on how many capital letters are in the sentence and how many punctuation characters. Your program will stop asking for input once the user has entered in a blank line. Consider the following example usage with the program. User input is marked in underline:

Enter a sentence: John and Mary went to Fred's house.
You used 3 capital letters and 2 punctuation characters.
Enter a sentence: I like A&W more than McDonald's.
You used 5 capital letters and 3 punctuation characters.
Enter a sentence:
Good bye!

Hint: make use of the standard C functions ispunct and isupper. Other requirements. You must make two functions.

Make a function called find_characters, which has a return type of void, and which has three parameters: one of type char * (a string to find characters in), one of type int * (a reference to int variable indicating how many capital letters are in the string) and the last one also of type int * (a reference to an int variable indicating how many punctuation characters are in the string). Your find_characters function should scan the string and update the two variables it has references to.Make a main function.

This function should repeatedly read in a string from the user, call your find_characters function, and output the information returned to it by the find_characters function indicating how many capital letters and how many punctuation characters were in the string. Your main function should stop reading in input when the user enters in a blank string (i.e., the user just hits enter without entering anything else in). You may assume that the user will not enter in a sentence longer than 100 characters

Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<ctype.h>
#include<string.h>

int main(void) {

C/C++ :: Function That Generates A Random String Of Uppercase Letters

Apr 19, 2014

I need to write a C function that generates a random character array (i.e. string) of uppercase letters - getchar and putchar are the only IO functions that I can use. Below is what I have already - I am iterating for as many times as I am required to, and am modulating rand() by 25, (total letters in the alphabet). I'm trying to see how to get the random letter from the % 25, and also how to do this without toupper() [not sure if I can use that function].

void getRandomStr()){
char str[40];
for (int i = 0; i < 40; i++){
char c = rand() % 25);
str[i] = toupper(c);
}}

C++ :: Convert A String Into Mathematical Calculation And Calculate In Correct Order

May 6, 2013

I want to program an advanced calculator. I'd like to enter some more complex expressions like -17+3*4*(4-sqrt(4) and i want, that mathematical operations are done the correct order, so at first 4-sqrt(4) is calculated, then 3*4*2 and then -17 is subtracted.

Problem 1: Convert a string into a mathematical calculation
Problem 2: Calculate in the correct order

How would I do that (I dont expect perfecly precoded calculators from you, just the way how to do it)

Google search just delivers primitive calculations with entry methods like

Enter first number 1
Enter operator +
Enter second number 2

3

But thats not what i want

C/C++ :: Using Multiple Files And Includes

Mar 23, 2014

I am struggling with the concept of having different ccp's and header files. I made a really bad example project for representation, but basically my question is are any of the #includes unnecessary that I have? Technically it functions, but if I am doing it wrong I want to prevent myself from starting bad habits in the future. My code just basically uses strings and sets a name and prints it. My code is really bad, but I wanted to just use includes in such a way for a quick example.

//MAIN.CCP
#include "functions.h"
using namespace std;
int main()

I am attempting to assign "randomChoice" as the array index of the "listOfWords" array then copy "listOfWords[randomChoice] to "selectedWord". I am not sure if it is that I do not fully understand the use of strcopy() or something wrong with my arrays.

C++ :: Structures - How To Update Space Ship Position In Array

Apr 7, 2013

I want to do this but do not know exactly how to do it:

Create an array of space ship objects and write a program that continually updates their positions until they all go off the screen. Assume that the size of the screen is 1024 pixels by 768 pixels.

I have begun to write a bit code but the problem is when you want to see the space ship moving step for step on the screen I do not know how to create the ship visible so you can see it is moving. Here's my code so far

Code:

C/C++ :: Writing A Program Which Includes Encoding And Decoding A Message?

Oct 31, 2014

I am writing a porgram which includes encoding and decoding a message.Now I am doing the encoding part.

The goal is to encode a message using similar approach as Caesar Cipher. But instead of alphabets, I am going to use the entire ASCII code of total 128 codes to be the base.

And it is not a simple shifting, it is a rotation. This means if you want to shift 4 units from char <DEL>, it will come back to the first code in ASCII Code which is at dec 0 char <NUL> and starts the shifting again. It won't jump if the limit of ASCII Code is reached.

Here we've got 7 different malls' names and I am going to encode them with a shift n. I think n is free to set, so here I just set it as 5. This is also called the key.

I have written something and I think it should work, but after all it doesn't. And I don't get what is wrong.

Here is my program:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
const int NUMBER_OF_MALLS = 7;
const int MALL_NAME_LENGTH = 13;
const int NAME_SIZE = MALL_NAME_LENGTH + 1;
void encode(int key, char plain[], int length, char encoded[]) {
for (int i = 0; i < MALL_NAME_LENGTH; i++)

[code].....

Note that I am not going to use other libraries, just <iostream>.
