need help for this code
 

You are required to write a program which will:
· Fetch inputs from the user
· Ask the user how many words that he want to insert
· Append the original inputs to the screen (and save to a file called as string.txt)
· Append the scrambled inputs to the screen (and save to a file called as
shuffle.txt)
· Shuffled inputs contain the new modified sentence which all the words are
randomly scattered.
· The amount of reshuffled repeated are based from the user’s intention
· Read/search on randomize ( rand(), srand() ) to help you on this. Refer
page 150 and above in your textbook- Chapter 4. Also, find a function call within
algorithm library which allow you to reshuffle arrays’ element-do Internet
search! (which means you have to do #include<algorithm> as the
processor directive.
· Since you are dealing with words, use “string” data type.
the example output
See the example output in the screen below:
Begin file creation
Insert how many words
6
Please insert the words that you want to scramble
I HAVE A CAT, BIG CAT!
Original word....
I HAVE A CAT, BIG CAT!

Scrambling character(s)...
Iteration #1
I CAT! CAT, BIG HAVE A
Reshuffle?
Y

Scrambling character(s)...
Iteration #2
I HAVE A CAT! CAT, BIG
Reshuffle?

Scrambling character(s)...
Iteration #3
I BIG CAT, HAVE CAT! A
Reshuffle?

Iteration #4

ok, i've done this code using dev-c++. the problem is, when the program random the word, the word that came out is unreadable and i can't store the output to shuffle.txt file. can somebody define the mistake of this code?

this is the code:

#include <iostream>

#include <fstream>

#include<algorithm>

#include <ctime>

#include <string>

#define SIZE 12 

using namespace std;



int main()

{

    cout<<"Begin file creation"<<endl;

    int num;

    cout<<"Insert how many words"<<endl;

    cin>>num;

    string word;

    cout<<"Please insert the words that you want to scramble"<<endl;

    getline(cin,word,'!');

    

    ofstream fout;

    

    fout.open("string.txt");

    if (!fout)

    {

              cerr<<"Error open file";

              exit(100);

    }

    fout<<word;

    cout<<endl<<endl;

    cout<<"Original word...."<<endl;

    cout<<word<<endl;



    

    ifstream fin;

    fin.open("string.txt");

       

    

    if (!fin)

    {

              cerr<<"Error open file";

              exit(100);

    }

    getline(fin,word);

    cout<<word;

    fin.close();

    srand(time(0));

      

    do{

    cout<<"scrambling character(s)..."<<endl;

    cout<<endl<<endl;

    cout<<"Iteration #"<<nom<<endl;

    nom++;

    cout<<endl; 

    

    ofstream fin;

    fin.open("shuffle.txt");

    

    if(!fin)

    {

            cerr<<"Invalid!";

            exit(100);

    }

    



    srand (time(NULL));

    num=strlen(jumble);

    randomChoice = rand()%num;

    //strcpy(jumble,num[randomChoice]);

        for (j=0;jumble[j]!='\0';j++)// to scramble the word

        {                                

        k = rand() % num;

        temp      = jumble[j];

        jumble[j] = jumble[k];

        jumble[k] = temp;

        }

        

        cout<<jumble<<endl;

    

     

     fin.close();

     cout<<endl<<endl;

     

     cout<<"Reshuffle?"<<endl;

     cin>>shuffle; 

  

    }while((shuffle=='Y')||(shuffle=='y'));

    

    if((shuffle=='N')||(shuffle=='n'))

      {

      cout<<"Stop at iteration #"<<nom-1<<endl;

      cout<<"Thank you"<<endl;

      }

    else

    cout<<"Wrong Input!"<<endl;

    

    system("PAUSE");

    return 0;

}

my example how many word is '6'
my example word is 'i have a cat, big cat!'

i need a quick answer actually and thank u for helping.
beside reply it here, you can reply it to my e-mail [snipped email]
i really need the answer as fast as you can. sorry for trouble!

Re: need help for this code
 

That code doesn't even compile so how you get an output file who knows?

Re: need help for this code
 

u can't? is something wrong with code cos my compiler can compile it. the problem occurred when it comes to random the word and to save it to the shuffle.txt

Re: need help for this code
 

>is something wrong with code cos my compiler can compile it

This is a lie. Please don't lie to us. (I am using dev-cpp) Also, read your assignment, aren't you supposed to use random_shuffle from the header file

#include <algorithm>

or something I don't see you doing that.

Re: need help for this code
 

so, my code is really wrong. i'm sorry coz i'm still new using this dev c++. but i really don't understand about the algorithm. i can't use this code at all? sorry for making trouble. can u tell me which part is wrong but this code can run right?

Re: need help for this code
 

Firstly, you shouldn't lie to us. Don't pretend you are new to dev-cpp and you have compiled that code you posted and got an output, because clearly you haven't!


Second I shall give you a few clues.

-You need to use getline to read in a string. (you may be doing this already)
-you need to separate the string into tokens, this is generally called tokenising your input, the whitespace will be your delimiter here.
-now you can put your words into an array or vector, this depends on what you teacher is expecting.
-Then you can shuffle the words about using the code:
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/a...m_shuffle.html

Then write that to a file.

Third, we don't do favours, it's only urgent to you and therefore you should have organised you time better.

Re: need help for this code
 

thank you very much and sorry for troubling you but i really can run this code and i dun lie.
it become like this:
Attachment 7507

but anyway, thank u so much.

Re: need help for this code
 

Well then the code you posted above is wrong, or you posted the wrong one by accident.

Re: need help for this code
 

Yes, the code you posted would not compile anywhere. You don't define

nom

. Copy and paste the code you posted verbatim and try compiling it again.

Re: need help for this code
 

opss, its really my fault! sorry,sorry!this is the correct code:

#include <iostream>

#include <fstream>

#include<algorithm>

#include <ctime>

#include <string>

#define SIZE 12      

using namespace std;



char ans;

int no=1;



int rand(int num)

{

    return rand()%num;

}

int main()

{

    int randomWord;

    char sentence[SIZE];

    int i, j; 

    char temp;

    int num;

    string word ;

    cout<<"Begin file creation "<<endl;

    cout<<"Insert how many words "<<endl;

    cin>>num;

    cout<<"Please insert the words that you want to scramble"<<endl;

    getline(cin,word,'!');

    ofstream fout;  

    fout.open("string.txt");

    if (!fout)

    {

              cerr<<"Error open file";

              exit(100);

    }

    fout<<word;

    cout<<endl<<endl;

    cout<<"Original word...."<<endl;

    cout<<word<<endl;    

    ifstream fin;

    fin.open("string.txt");    

    if (!fin)

    {

              cerr<<"Error open file";

              exit(100);

    }

    getline(fin,word);

    cout<<word;

    fin.close();

    srand(time(NULL));  

    do{

    cout<<"scrambling character(s)..."<<endl;

    cout<<endl<<endl;

    cout<<"Iteration #"<<no<<endl;

    no++;

    cout<<endl;    

    ofstream fin;

    fin.open("shuffle.txt");    

    if(!fin)

    {

            cerr<<"Invalid!";

            exit(100);

    }

    srand (time(NULL));

    randomWord=rand()%num;

    //strcpy(jumble,num[randomChoice]);

    num=strlen(sentence);

        for (i=0;sentence[i]!='\0';i++)// to scramble the word

        {                                

        j = rand() % num;

        temp      = sentence[i];

        sentence[i] = sentence[j];

        sentence[j] = temp;

        }

     cout<<sentence<<endl;

     fin.close();

     cout<<endl<<endl;

     cout<<"Reshuffle?(Y/N)"<<endl;

     cin>>ans; 

  

    }while(ans=='Y'||ans=='y');

    if(ans=='N'||ans=='n')

      {

      cout<<"Stop at iteration #"<<no-1<<endl;

      cout<<"Thank you"<<endl;

      }

    else

    cout<<"Wrong Input!"<<endl;

    

    system("PAUSE");

    return 0;

}

so, i just follow what u write it before right? using that random_shuffle but which part did i have to put it?
