C :: Unscramble User Input - Error In Loop
Sep 24, 2014
The purpose of this program is to unscramble the user's input. for example if the user entered 'ftooabll' the program would print 'football'. find the error that I am making....
Now, this only works for strings that are contained in the file wordlist. That being said, I would like this to repeat this search multiple times. Currently, the process is being repeated 7 times, but it only works on the first iteration. The code and sample input/output is below.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#define NUMLOOP 6
void sort_string(char*);
[Code] ....
Sample input/output: (note: all data has been verified to be in the wordlist)
Enter string:
4132dcba
abcd1234
Enter string:
4132dcba
Enter string:
4132dcba
Enter string:
4132dcba
Enter string:
4132dcba
Enter string:
4132dcba
Enter string:
4132dcba

I have a small loop that gets the user input, as well as acts as input validation to make sure he or she doesn't enter a value that is not within the specified range.
The user is supposed to enter a month number. E.g. if he or she chooses February, then enter 2, or December, 12.
It works correctly if they type a number that is not in the range, but goes into an infinite loop if, say, they type a string such as "month".
Code:
int main() {
// Variable Declaration(s)/Initialization(s)
int month=0;
// Get input
cout<<"Enter a month";
cin>>month;
[Code] ....
How could I go about revising this?

I'm trying to get this program to loop the number of times I get it to input. The program compiles alright, and it does loop when I tell it too, but how do I output the grades of the multiple students?
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>
int weighted1 = 0;
int weighted2 = 0;

struct stu_dat //outside main function
{
int rollno;
char name[45],
float average;
[Code] ....
No compilation problem.when executing prompt waits for inputting rollno, but, as soon as i enter a char string it keeps looping displaying the "want to enter more data?".i cant understand what is going on,as there is no compilation problem and runs good till i input the name.

In short, I'm trying to make a CLI for a project that can take multiple user inputs add I don't exactly know what I'm doing. I'm able to get cin to take one user input, but that's all I'm sure about.

I'm not sure what the program's purpose is?
1) Ask the user to enter a sentence. Until you reach the end of the sentence, test each character to count the number of spaces and letters.
2) For every space counted, print "SPACE", then print one "!" for every letter counted on an indented line underneath the "SPACE".
Your test sentence to use is: "The potash feldspars are important rock-forming minerals in plutonic, volcanic, and metamorphic rocks."
HINT: You do not need any strings. You need one while loop and two for loops. <cctype>

So I have to write a step in my program that reads in up to 8 variables. Simple, but if the User submits an invalid value, I have to give an error message and ask him to re-enter the value until he enters a valid number. Here's my while loop that works perfectly:
Code:
while (true) {
printf("
Enter the mark given by Judge 1: ");
scanf("%f", &m1);
if ((m1 >= 0.0) && (m1 <= 10.0)) {
break;
}
[code]...
I'm not sure what to write in the else statement to make the programme understand that it has to repeat the exact same step but without adding 1 to index. Is this possible or do I have to suck it up and just use while loops instead? I'm very new to programming.

I'm trying to create a program that will take input from a user and calculate it in a do-while loop. The program does the calculation but the answer is wrong. The loop also doesn't work. The purpose of the program is to see how much an item will cost after a discount is taken off and tax is added.
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;
double original_cost;
double discount;
double tax;
double total;
char answer;

I am stuck on an exercise where i am supposed to use a loop to take user input and keep a running sum until the user enters a 0. the code i have so far is:
#include <iostream>
int main() {
using namespace std;
int num;
int total = 0;
int x;
[Code] ....
The full text of the error message is: error c2678:binary'>>':no operator found which takes a left-hand operand of type 'std::istream' . and one more thing i was wondering, is there a difference between c++ and visual c++?

I am trying to get this simple validation loop to work so that it only displays the error message when the input is outside the range 1-3. yet it always seems to display the message.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
int Menu ();
int ValidInt(int , int );

I'm suppose to write a program using (for loop) that asks the user to enter any amount of numbers, so that it can display the smallest and largest. My program successfully finds the largest, but it is always displaying 0 for the smallest, I think Im doing something wrong with the internalization but I dont know what to change it to.
This is what I have ....
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int amount;
int count;
int number = 0;
int smallest = 0;
int largest = 0;
cout << "Enter total numbers to process: ";

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;

I'm trying to write a C++ program that will allow a user to input a number from the keyboard. Then using a loop, that will perform 10 times, multiply the entered number by the loop counter. Print out the loop counter, the entered number and the product of the loop counter and the entered number. A one-time heading should be displayed before information is printed.
This kinda of what I have so far:
#include <iosteam>
using namespace std;
int main () {
Start
Declare: numScores, sum, score, avg, SENTINEL = 200
numScores = 0
[Code] ....
All the programs I have tried to make are not working?

The program is supposed to read in a string from the user and then output the number of each vowel that the string has. My first function is initializing the vectors, and the one that I'm having trouble with is the function used to read the string from the user and save it.
Here's my code:
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
// FUNCTION PROTOTYPES GO HERE:
void init_vectors(vector<char> & vowels, vector<int> & frequencies);
string read_text(const string & prompt);
[Code] ....
And I'm getting the error:
freq.cpp: In function ‘std::string read_text(const std::string&)’:
freq.cpp:74: error: no matching function for call to ‘getline(std::istream&, const std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >&)’
I'm not too sure if I can't use the function getline here or if there is something wrong with the function prototype itself but I'm pretty sure there isn't an error there as it was given to me.

I am trying to code a program that takes in user inputted data about percentages and using it to later on calculate a final grade. 4 percents are inputted, for Assignments, Midterm1, Midterm2, and Finals. If the percents dont add up to 1 (i tell the user to enter the decimal value) I set up and if statement to catch it and end the program. Except that if i type in
Assignments = .3
Midterm1 = .3
Midterm2 = .3
Finals = .1
the program doesn't recognize that they add up to 1. Heres the relevant portion of my code [URL] ....
Here's some examples of how it works [URL] ....
And heres what i dont understand [URL] ....
Why is it saying .3 + .3 + .3 + .1 != 1 when .1 + .3 + .3 + .3 == 1?

int main(){
Beep (523,1000); // sound at 523 hertz for 1 000 milliseconds

I am just starting out with loops and I have run into an syntax error and for the life of me I cant find out the issue. Before it has been an issue of me forgetting to close my brackets but I am pretty sure I did that this time. I am trying to have the program keep looping the main menu until the user inputs a correct number.
float total_Bal = 0.00;
char user_Choice;

Still working on my first homegrown C program design . The function basically allows the user to enter a list of classes and grades and saves the list to a file to be used later in the file. The function compiles and runs through without error except for the fact that it always prints the last user entry to the *profilep file twice. Just as a note, the scanchar function is one I made to scan in one character and an end of line character to throw away the end of line char before I learned about %*c about 30 minutes ago...
Also I haven't much bothered to strengthen the function against crazy user input but I have heard using fgets and sscanf in conjunction can replace scanf and protect against weird user input. How to apply this within the program.
Code:
// creates a new profile and prints it to the profile file.
void newprof(FILE* profilep, const char *allclasses[ABBR_SIZE]){
int c, checker, counter;
int i, a;
char prof[MAX_PROF][ABBR_SIZE];
char grades[MAX_PROF][3];
[Code] .....

This program is meant as practice. However, it is not working as intended. The for loop is meant to take the argument from the user and use it as the amount of times to loop. Instead it simply outputting: . It is supposed to output i++ but does not.
Here is the code:
main.cpp:
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int main, char* arg[], char* arg2[]) {
int iterator = atoi(arg2[0]);
std::string z = "-c";

This is an example from C++ Primer on while loops shortened for simplicity:
int main() {
int value = 0;
while(cin >> value) cout << value;
return 0;
}
When I compile and run the above code the program keeps asking for input after I input nothing but pressing ENTER no matter how many times. The only way I can get it to stop asking for input is to input something other than an int such as a char or string. Program executes as intended after that. I have googled this issue and read all seemingly relevant results and nothing seems to pertain to my exact problem. I think it may have something to do with my computer's own settings or something and am baffled as to what it may be.

In a record I have IDs of type int but some may repeat. These IDs also got sales of type float. I wish to compare the IDs number of times they appear and of match found accumulate their sales and put it in another struct. However if an ID is found which is new I pass it to a function to initiate sales..but my code never reach second ID, given I am trying with two IDs.. given IDs in transFile
ID Sale
12345 870
90909 100
I enter these two in transFile and match it with masterRecord. 12345 is matched and updated likewise but 90909 is never executed or matched in checkID function..
void sync_trans_files(unsigned short int count, master masterRecord[], char transFile[]){
const short int weeklyemployee=25;
//read number of records from transFile;
struct trans{
