Hey guys, I tried cplusplus.com but they seem to take two hours to reply and I thought Cheat Engine would be much better. Well as the title says, I'm pretty new to C++. Earlier I felt like I was actually starting to understand it so I decided to go ahead and try to make a rather simple program.
The ideas of the program was to allow the user to input letters for their name one at a time. And if they entered in a valid one, then it would allow them to put in the next and the next and so on. If you wanted to terminate the program you would be able to type in end. At the end of this all once you type in finish, it would out put all the letters you put together. I had this idea and thought it would be pretty cool if I could do it. I've made some alternatives since my other plans hadn't worked. But I'd like to know your guys' ideas on this.
So far this is what I got:
| Code: |
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
char a, b, c;
int x;
cout << "Hello, please enter in the first letter of your name then follow by hitting enter and placing the next letter." << endl;
cin >> a;
cout << "Did you put " << a << "?" << endl;
cout << "Hit 1 for yes, hit two for no" << endl;
cin >> x;
if (x == 1)
cout << "Please put in next number" << endl;
else if (x == 2)
cout << "Returning to beginning" << endl;
}
|
Its not much because I have no idea where to go from there. I tried to make it so it can end and more but I'm only posting what worked...other then that I feel kind of hopeless. Or am I just doing it all wrong? Any help?

edit: so as I was saying before my internet shit the bed.
sounds like you're in need of 'strcmp'
| Code: | #include <iostream>
char input[10];
char name[50];
int i;
int main ()
{
std::cout << "Hello, please enter in the first letter of your name then follow by hitting enter and placing the next letter." << std::endl;
do{
std::cin >> name[i];
std::cout << "Did you input '" << name << "' so far?" << std::endl;
std::cout << "Enter '1' for yes, '2' for no or 'finish' to end it." << std::endl;
std::cin.sync();
std::cin >> input;
if(strcmp(input, "finish") == 0){
break;
}
switch(input[0]){
case '1':
std::cout << "Please put in next letter." << std::endl;
i++; break;
case '2':
std::cout << "Returning to beginning." << std::endl;
for(i = 0; i < 50; i++){
name[i] = 0;
}break;
default:
std::cout << "Don't shart your jorts, bro.";
break;
}
}while(strcmp(input, "finish") != 0);
std::cout << "May all yo poppin' be followed by equal quantities of lockin, " << name;
std::cin.sync();
std::cin.ignore();
return 0;

Use std::string and you don't need strcmp.

You need to learn about loops.
Like:
for (int x = 0; x = 10; x++){
stuff
}
do {
stuff
} while (x = 1)
while (x = 1) {
stuff
}
There are some more, and ways to get fancy with them. But use the do-while for something you want to run at least once, the while for when you want to see if something changes, and the for if you want x to equal all but some... You can also use || (or) and && (and) with your loops.
P.S. Get a good book from a used books store, you will learn C++ alot better. And PM me or post if you have any other questions.

| Code: | #include <iostream>
#include "apstring.h" // just google "apstring.h" and "apstring.cpp"
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
int i = 0;
apstring myName;
cout << "Hello, please enter your name" << endl;
cin >> myName;
cout << "Welcome, " << myName << " to MyFirstProg! \nHere is your name spelled out for you!" << endl;
while(i <= myName.length())
{
cout << myName[i] << " "; // space out the letters,
i++;
}
}

@podr: Why use apstrings? They are nothing more then a rewritten std::string class that offers little to no advances over the original string class. Also the example you posted was not what the original poster was looking for from my understanding of his post. slovach's example is what I would figure he wanted.
