C :: Entering Characters Into A String Pointer

Feb 8, 2013

1. The debugger shows that the characters are entered into the word pointer, and when a punctuation or space character is encountered, I terminate the string with a ''. But when I use puts to print the string, garbage is printed. Why is this?

2. Also, if I don't allocate memory for word the compiler gives a warning about it being used uninitialised. But I didn't allocate memory for the array of pointers(words), and the compiler didn't give any warnings. Whats the difference between a pointer and an array of pointers?

Code:

// wordcount.c - count words.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

[Code]....

C++ :: Entering Valid User Input?

Mar 19, 2013

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.

C :: Way For User To Stop Entering Values

Mar 6, 2015

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.

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].....

C++ :: Gather Input From User And Encrypt / Decrypt Those Characters?

Jan 5, 2015

I have got to create a program that will gather input from the user and then encrypt & decrypt those characters.

I'm not very confident at coding so I'm sure many parts of my code are written poorly and not following the best practice so I have written a simple version of an algorithm where the program simply adds/subtracts a value of 2 to/from the ASCII values but I have discovered the use of the rand() and srand functions but I'm unsure how to go about using them within both my encrypt and decrypt function as a single value (static variable?).

Here is my code in its entirety at the moment.

#include <iostream >
#include <iomanip>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
#include <string>
#include <cstring>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
char getMenuSelection (char m);
void encrypt (char key[]);
void decrypt (char code[]);

[code]....

This code currently doesn't execute due to ' undefined reference to 'encrypt(char*) '

Question

I am asking how to generate the random number and incorporate this into my encrypt and decrypt functions.

1. Would the use of a static or global variable make this work as is?

2. Would I need to create separate class files for both functions?

C/C++ :: Put Time Delay On Same Key Being Pressed By User In Row?

Apr 20, 2015

So I'm in the process of building my 2D game in Allegro5, I'm building a side platform game and at the moment I have a sprite being able to walk left right and jump. What I want to do is put a time delay on the jump function so that when a user presses the jump button and the sprite has carried out the jump function I want there to be a 1 or so second delay before the jump button actually carries out the jump function again.

I have quite a bit of code so not sure what bits to place in here, I'm more looking for a way of doing this, so providing me code isnt really needed just a way it can be done.

Things that might be useful to know:

At the moment I have a timer initialized in allegro which is used with my FPS int to mean that my game runs at 60FPS.

I have a bool bIsOnGround which maybe could be used into this, I'm not sure...

C++ :: Program Which Takes Date And Time Input From The User

Jan 20, 2013

I am writing a C++ program which takes date & time input from the user. This is then parsed into a struct such as:

struct time
{
short year;
short month;
short day;
short hour;
short min;
};

My question is: how can I convert such a struct into a time_t object, which is an unsigned long giving the time as the number of seconds elapsed since the epoch Jan 1st 1970, 00:00, as set out in time.h.

I am wondering if this can be achieved using the standard library, or whether I just need to write a function to perform the appropriate arithmetic.

C :: Program To Take Time And Date Typed By User And Increase It By 1 Minute

Mar 22, 2013

I'm having a problem with my homework. The task is to write a program that will take time and date typed by user, and increase it by 1 minute. I should write 3 functions - first calls second function that updates time and calls third function, if time is 00:00.Time update works, but date update does not.My whole written code:

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
struct DateAndTime {
struct date {
int day;
int month;
int year;

[code]....

I should check if inputs are numbers only, so I tried including isdigit function from ctype.h library, but that didn't work either, after I was trying it for a good hour or so, but I kinda rage quit that...

C++ :: Calculating With Time - Restrict User To Input Minutes 60-99 For Every Hour

Oct 22, 2013

I have to write a program for class in which users will be inputting:

start time = startTime
number of minutes = callDuration

so first off, teacher wants us to input time as a floating point number such as 09.00

How do I validate the time so that users cant input i.e. 09.61 for every hour? In other words, so the user cant input minutes 60-99 for every hour.

then, when calculating:
endTime = startTime + callDuration

how would I make endTime display a correct time in such a situation: endTime = 09.45 + 00.30

so that it displays 10.15 not 09.75

C/C++ :: Dynamic Allocation Of Array And Increase Its Size Every Time New Integer Inputted By User

Aug 29, 2014

I'm a little lost with this program. The idea is to dynamically allocate an array and increase its size every time a new integer is inputted by the user. I believe it is a memory leak but as we have just started learning this I'm not sure how to recognise it. Sometimes I can input as many integers as I want other times 2 or 3 before it crashes. When I can input enough values i exit the loop and send it to the sort function and mean calculator function, all works fine there except the last number inputted becomes this huge value not hexadecimal though... As such I'm at a loss as what to look at next, so here you go:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void SelectSort(int [], int);
float MeanCalc(int [], int);
float MedianCalc(int* [], int);

C++ :: Error Entering A Function?

Jul 2, 2013

I have no error compiling, but running my project it stops before entering a function and debugging I have an error about Segmentation fault. The function:

Code:

Mat logGabor(matriz filter,Mat filter,double r_o,double theta_o,double sigma_theta,
matriz radius,matriz theta,int cols,int rows,double sigma_r,int *padSize){
Mat rpad;
int k=*padSize;
printf("Welcome to the function"); //Here the error
...

More info: I created the matriz as : typedef double** matriz;
and a createmat function that give back a double** and in this function I allocate space for matriz and works. In the main:

Code:
Mat chr-Rpad[4][5]; //chrOrient=4;chrScales=5
for(int i_or=1;i_or<chrOrient;i_or++){
for(int i_sc=1;i_sc<chrScales;i_sc++){
//some math calculation
chrRpad[i_or-1][i_sc-1]=abs(logGabor(filter,imftt2,r_o,theta_o,sigma_theta,radius,theta,cols,rows,sigma_r,padSize));

Visual C++ :: Looping Lines And Blocks Of Characters

Mar 17, 2013

I have a file that is like the following, with patterns of pipes in it:

Code:
||| || | |
| ||| | | |
|| || ||

I have to consider each row of pipe characters to be in blocks of 3 characters each (e.g. - positions 1-3, then 4-6, etc, etc...) but I have to capture all of the pipes, in sequence, like so:

positions 1-3 for lines 1-3, then positions 4-6 for lines 1-3, etc, etc...

How to get this done besides writing severely redundant control structures like loops, one after the other?
