Do you use Visual Studio as your IDE? If so just put ina breakpoint and step through the code and check all your variables. Though I really do not know much C++ your for loop seems like it would go on forever and it surrounds that dowhile. Again I don't really know C++ so I could be wrong or it could be by design but I would look into it.

I'm using Dev C++.

@Orzorn: Have you removed anything from that code? I wouldn't expect that to compile. There is a for loop there that doesn't have a closing } symbol and doesn't do anything anyway, and your main function doesn't have a closing } symbol either.

Yes, it did run.

Also, I'm pretty sure everything had a closing brace. Count the braces, there are 4 on top and 4 on bottom.

[vicki kitterman]

Now, when I type 'q' at any time, its SUPPOSED to break the loop, then, because after the loop the program reads that dmas = q, then it doesn't re-enter the loop, and then the program closes.

You are breaking out of the switch block, not the for loop.


Also, you are including C headers, when using C++ prefer $over$

I tried $and\; the\; compiler\; gave\; me\; an\; error.$

Edit:
Alright here's what I've got now:

#include #include #include #include #include using namespace std;int main(int argc, char *argv[]){    float x = 0;    float y = 0;    char dmas;    do{    cout<<"Divide (/), multiply (*), add (+), or subtract (-)? Press q to quit.\n\n";    cin>> dmas;        switch (dmas)    {           case '/': cout<<"\nInput a number to be divided.\n\n";                   cin>> x;                   cout<<"\nInput a number to divide by.\n\n";                   cin>> y;                   if (y == 0){                   cout<<"\nYou can not divide by zero.";                   y = 1;}                   cout<<"\n" << x / y << "\n\n";                break;                           case '*': cout<<"\nInput a number to be multiplied.\n\n";                   cin>> x;                   cout<<"\nInput a number to multiply by.\n\n";                   cin>> y;                   cout<<"\n" << x * y << "\n\n";                break;                           case '+': cout<<"\nInput a number to be added.\n\n";                   cin>> x;                   cout<<"Input a number to add.\n\n";                   cin>> y;                   cout<<"\n" << x + y << "\n\n";                break;                           case '-': cout<<"\nInput a number to be subtracted from.\n\n";                   cin>> x;                   cout<<"Input a number to subract.\n\n";                   cin>> y;                   cout<<"\n" << x - y << "\n\n";                break;                           case 'q':break;                         default: cout<<"\nThat isn't a valid entry.\n\n";                    break;}}while (dmas != 'q');return 0;}

I can quit the program, but ONLY at the beginning of it (or when it loops back around). If I enter a choice (such as '/'), THEN try Q, I get stuck in an infinite loop and I am forced to terminate it myself. Is there a way to let me terminate while I'm INSIDE of the switch entries?

[Nitol Ahmed]

You can define a separate boolean variable as the exit condition..

It could be to do with the input stream. Try putting cin >> ws; just before cin>> dmas;

I can't reproduce that with your code in Visual Studio. However, the code does not check for a capital Q. It still just prints out not valid and goes back to the beginning though.

However, if you mean typing "/Q" as the option, then what you describe seems to happen. That got me curious..

You are reading a single character with cin >> dmas. When you enter "/Q", it gets the slash and goes into your '/' case. However, you have another set of commands there that read input, so the Q ends up there and the execution passes both cin's because they don't understand characters. Your exit condition still checks for dmas and that happens to be '/' letting it continue, but the next cin against passes right through.

Add line cin.ignore(); right after cin >> dmas. It flushes the rest of the characters out of the buffer as you only seem to be interested in the first character. That should fix it the easiest.

You can ask for project help here thats fine. Unfortunately I don't know either of those languages so I won't be of much help. I guess I could do documentation for it perhaps depending on project scope and complexity.

So since I am heading back to school soon I need to keep a list of things that I must take or do and I have decided to write a small program for this. I will store each list as an XML file and allow for the user to input their own filename. I am writing it in C# using .NET 3.5 if anyone would like to help out. It won't be a very large project and probably will be completed quickly but even so I thought I would see who was interested.

I'm having issues with a program I'm writing in wxPython, using Python 2.6. The event happens when the program begins, and I'm short on ideas to work around this.

class main(wx.Frame):    def __init__(self, parent):...        bTestText = wx.Button(panel, label = 'test', pos = (100,100))        evt = kickBox().testText(EVT_TEXT)        self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, evt, bTestText)...class kickBox(main):    def __init__(self):        self.origin = wx.Frame.__init__(self, wx.GetApp().TopWindow, title='HTML Kickbox', size=(600,600), name = "kickBox")        self.textbox = wx.TextCtrl(self,1,style=wx.TE_MULTILINE)        self.textbox.SetEditable(False)...    def testText(self, evt):        self.textbox.AppendText("test")        print "works"...

Returns on startup:

>>>works

On a button press, it returns nothing - or in other words, doesn't work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi guys, im really getting frustrated with this so Im posting here.. What I need to do is really simple, yet I cannot do it apparently. Here is what works:

DWORD Address = 0x4000F6;

I can use Address and it works perfectly. But this is staticly bound, I want to be able to read the address from a file, then read the value from the file and store in Address. I've tried many things on lines of:

    string line;    ifstream myfile ("file.txt");    if (myfile.is_open())    {		int i = 1;		while (!myfile.eof())		{			getline (myfile, line);			if (i == 1) //first line contains the value.				Address = atoi(line.c_str());			if (i == 2) //second line ect.				blah blah blah,			i++;		}        myfile.close();    }

But that doesnt work. How should the value in the text file be formatted, like "0x4000F6" or "4000F6"? Im not concerned about how well done or efficient my code for reading the file is, I just want to get it working then I can clean it up... Thanks in advance if anyone knows. C++ can be a :swear:

I started a VB.NET class here at school which is an intro class but I have done a wholeintro class on it before and gotten farther with C#. On Wednesday we are having a pretest to see who knows what, if we get 80% or higher the instructor said he may see about having us marked as testing out of it. Now I am not holding my breath on this but since I have worked with it before I may brush up on it tomorrow and see how well I do. I have the book but I kind of prefer the one I have at home frm my old class, and I won't be able to get it until this weekend.

Hey I was wondering if anybody would know where I could find an internship? I've heard banks, but I'd like to be able to hit a few places and see if they'd need an intern.

I don't need specific places, just types of stores. Such as a laundromat, which has nothing to do with coding, but that's a type of store.

Is anyone any good with programming in TI Basic? I want to write a small program for my statistics class but for some reason some of my code never runs and I can't figure out how to make it run. I have an idea how but I want to not have duplicate lines so I am using Goto and Lbl stuff to bounce around but then I need some decision logic but not sure where to put it or how to use it. If anyone ever programmed for this calculator let me know so I can post the code for troubleshooting.

Its more annoying to do since the TI-83+ that I have (most basic one) does not come with the USB cable for easy editing and tansferring of programs.

Where did you want the random number? You would, like Yacoby said, use the System.Random class.

You would do this:

Random r = new Random();r.next(min, max);

Replace r with whatever name you want for the variable, and min/max for your range. So if you do r.Next(0, 100) it will give a random number between 0 and 100 inclusive.

For truenumber do it like this:

Random truenumber = new Random();truenumber.Next(1, 15);

If you make guessednumber an int you can compare the values better and when you want to output them just use ToString() on the int.

Any ideas on the MATH part of it, I know how to make the program, I just don't understand the part on getting the final result.

Is it enough to convert the entered Birthdate (and Current Date?) into seconds or hours, and the current date the same way? Then just subtract birth time from the current time, get the time alive, and assume that the person has slept one third of the time and has stayed awake the rest. Then convert that back to years, months, days and hours or what accuracy is required. In my mind, it's more complex having to computer years, months, days, hours etc separately...

Or, do you have take into account current time of day where the person has not been exactly asleep one third of the day, or that the user might be born at a certain minute of some day and not assumed to be born at midnight.

However, then there's summer time. You could convert the times into GMT and do the calculations in that environment. You don't need to convert back to user time since the user only seems to be interested in differences.

I can't help you with Java specifically though, but you didn't actually ask that, did you. It probably has something to do with the Calendar, Date, getTime(), and SimpleDateFormat.. getTime on Date returns milliseconds since 1970, I think.
