C++ :: Write Program Where User Will Keep Entering Data Until Pressing Ctrl D
Mar 1, 2013
I'm trying to write a program where the user will keep entering data until pressing control + D. Then the it will display the mean, smallest number, and largest number.
Here are three samples of my program running.
Sample 1
Enter the price for stock 1: $ 10
Enter the price for stock 2: $ 1.555
Enter the price for stock 3: $ 3.648
[Code].....
As you can see in Sample 1, the program runs correctly. The largest number was 20 and the lowest number was 1.555. But in Sample 2, the program shows min as 15.500, where it should be showing 15.000 and Sample 3, the program shows min as 110.000 when it should be showing 55.564.
Here's the code.
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
[Code].....

How can I write my simple program so if the user enters an invalid number, The program won’t exit? I know I am supposed to use a if (cin) or if (!cin),
But I don’t know where in the program or how I should use it. Right now my Program looks kind of like this:
If (number > 1 && number < 1001)
Go through some function loops
Else
Cout << “invalid number”;
I need to write it so when the user enters an invalid number, the program would Keep asking for the right number until it's given.

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
/*
You are to write a program that will allow a user to enter infinite numbers (greater than zero)(One number at a time). You must have a way for the user to stop entering values.Once the user stops, you will immediately display the following:
The lowest number entered is:
The highest number entered is:
The number of values entered is:
The average of the numbers entered is:
*/
main() {
int userNumber=0, sum=0, count=0, highNum=0, lowNum=0, lastNum = 0;
double average;
printf("Enter a number greater than 0: (Enter -1 to stop)
");
scanf_s("%i", &userNumber);
[Code]....
My program outputs everything I need except the lowest number entered. I have been spending a considerable amount of time on this problem to no avail.

How do I prevent user from entering characters or symbols instead of numbers?
int num;
cout<<"Enter a number."<<endl;
cin>>num;
Also, how do I prevent user from entering a number instead of a character?
char c;
cout<<"Enter a character."<<endl;
cin>>c;

So I am trying to write a program that asks the user for a name. If the user enter the right name the program ends but if the user were to enter the wrong name the program would enter a loop prompting the user to re-enter the name. However I am not able to get the program to work!

I'm trying to end my program when the user presses the enter/return key.
I'm trying to do this with a break statement.
I have two different situations, one when it is a string, and the other one when it is a char.
for (int i = 0; i < 80; ++i)
{
string s;
cin >> s;
if (s == "
")
break;
S.PushStack(s);
}
I'm doing the same thing for char just replacing string with char.
I'm not sure what I am doing wrong but pressing enter does not end the program.

So I'm trying to create a program that allows one to read/write on to output.txt. I though I had everything set up right, but its only writing one word to the text file. Heres the code.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream> //Needed for User Input
#include <fstream> //needed for ofstream
#include <string> // needed for strings
#include <windows.h> //needed for Sleep
#include <cstdlib> //Needed for return EXIT_SUCCESS;
using namespace std;
int main() {
ofstream outputfile; //allows to read and write to files
[Code] .....
If I type Puppies Are Cute and go to output.txt, the only thing written in the text file is Puppies.

I'm trying to write a program where it asks the user for a file name.
If that file exists, the it will open the file and then read it and print the information in the file.
However, if the user enters a file name that does not exist, the user will have 2 more tries (for a total of 3 tries) to get the correct name of the file.
I am close to getting it. What I have now just won't go through the loop to validate if the input matches an existing file. It goes straight to the printing of what is in the file. If the file doesn't exist, it prints: "Found your file..Opening..processing...Total keys found = 0."
So, my question, what am I doing wrong that it won't go through the loop properly?
#include<iostream>
#include<iomanip>
#include<fstream>
#include<string>
using namespace std;
int main() {
bool fileFound = false;

I'm new to coding, and I have to write a program to display a class schedule to the user (the classes are entered into the program in strings like this:
Code:
course Calculus3 = {80934,"MATH",11,"Calculus 3","Edward Turner","M,W",950,1100}; )
in the format of an excel file (the user picks the classes they want to have) that then displays the course title and professor in the correct cell corresponding to the day/time the class meets. I've been googling it, and from what I've read, I think I need to use a csv file, but I don't know how to input the data into the file. I know the general format for how data is entered, but I don't know how to write it into a specific file or if I even have to (we covered txt files very briefly in my class, but never touched csv files).

I need to write a program to make the user input some text, and the first letter of each word has to be uppercase. (have to use while loops)
So for example lets say the user inputs:
i lOvE pRoGrAmMiNg
The output needs to be:
I Love Programming
Code: int main()
{
char c, lower_c;
printf("Enter Text");
while (c != '' && c >= 0)
{
if (c >= 'A' && c <= 'Z')
lower_c = c + 32;
else
lower_c = c;
[Code]...
I have started this code by making the letters lowercase (I don't know if this was the right way to approach this, ). I am not sure how proceed after this step, the step of making the first letter uppercase. (PS for the program, loops should be while loops)

Write a program that prompts the user to enter an integer and then displays that integer as a product of its primes and if it is a prime then it should say so? Above is the question I have been given
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
int main () {
int num, result;
cout << "Enter A Number " << endl;
system ("pause");
return 0;
}
This is what I have so far, do I have to use a for loop, a while loop or a do loop,

Write a program that asks the user to enter a student’s grades on four exams. The program should display the four grades and the average of the four grades,rounded to the nearest tenth. To add the grades, use a variable called total_grade, which you should initialize to zero.As the program prompts for and obtains each grade, add the grade to total_grade using the += operator.

So I need to write a program which tells the user if the number they input is prime or not. I have done so and included the code below. My problem is that I need to allow the user to input if they want to enter another number after the first one using y or n and I am having trouble figure it out.
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

Write a program that prompts the user to enter an item#, the program should determine if the item is in the file and print the price of the corresponding item. If the item is not in the file an error message should be printed.
All I have so far is
string item_no=0;
cout<<"Enter a item#";
getline(cin,item_no);
if stream openData;
I need to finish the rest in pseudo code

I have to write a program where the user will input integer numbers. How many numbers they enter is unknown, therefor you should use a repetition structure for the input. When the user is done, they will enter -1 to exit.
Create a dynamic array if the size=2( the initial size must be 2) Repeat until user enters -1.
I have to do this without using vectors.
This is what i have, I cannot figure out what to put in main. I was thinking of a do-while?
Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void resize(int *[], int);
int main() {
int *listDyn;
int size=2;

Write a program that reads data from a file (use the attached data file). These data are a student name and 3 test scores. The program should calculate the average of the 3 test scores, and display the name, 3 test scores, and the average to the monitor.
Useful tips:
a) Include the following header files: iostream, fstream, iomanip, and string
b) The name of the data file is “datafile.txt”, you need to save the file in the same folder of the source file.
c) use the manipulators (setw, setprecision, setfill, showpoint, fixed) to format the average with 1 digits after decimal point as following.
d) Use character ‘ ’ for tab.

I'm trying to get my C program to compile but it's not working at all. I've programmed a little in C++ before but I'm not used to C. Here's my program so far:
Code:
int main(void){
// Establishes variables
int num1, num2, product;
float quotient;

It keeps giving me an error message as follows:

So my inventory program runs fine as far as I can tell. Except when entering "Amounts" with more that 1-precision . ie
Amount Entered : 25.99 // Problem
Amount Entered : 25.9 // No Problem
When entering say 25.99, the rest of the file is jibberish. but 25.9, the rest of the file is fine
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
typedef struct toolRecord{
int record_num;
char tool_name[16];
int quantity;
double price;

The program I have is from a tutorial where the user enters two points on a line, and then the program calculates the mid-point and slope.
I want to modify it from it's initial form so that co-ordinates can be input in (x,y) fashion. Right now the user has to enter the x-coordinate, enter a space, and then enter the y-coordinate (lame...)
I saw people using SStream and using that to either write functions to ignore the comma or similar things for converting one file into an array, but not quite what I am trying here.
// program to determine slope of a line
#include <ios>
#include <iostream>
#include <istream>
#include <limits>
using namespace std;
void myflush ( istream& in ) {

My 'c' program reads each line of a .txt file, makes a few changes and then outputs the line of text (which are names). I want the contents to be sorted and did not want to bother writing my own sort. The program runs in a command prompt from inside a batch file for example:
sort | makelist.exe BluRay1.txt > sorted.txt
sort | makelist.exe Dvd1.txt >> sorted.txt
..etc..
I have to supply a ctrl-z manually to close the piping. I tried the following which did not work.
buffer[0] = 26;
printf("%c",buffer[0]);
//printf("^(z)");
fclose(stdout);
fclose(stdin);
I never got the above to work so I am avoiding piping and just do a redirect instead.
makelist.exe dvd1.txt > unsorted.txt
makelist.exe dvd2.txt >> unsorted.txt
sort < unsorted.txt > sorted.txt
..etc.
Just wondering if I could have gotten the ctrl-z thru the pipe using "C".
