Hi everyone, I'm new at C (just started this week), and I'm reading tutorials on line without the help of a book or class. I was wondering if there are common practices most tutorials teach that really aren't good to get into.
The tutorial I'm reading now says to use int main(), and then at the end to return 0; however, I was reading some of the code snippets on this site and found many people have other things such as main(void) or some other heading with void in it.
There was also an article I believe that said not to use scanf, but instead you should use gets (or something along those lines.)
I know my question isn't the most direct but any advice on common practices or maybe a recommended C tutorial would be great. :-) Thanks for any replies.

Hey everyone,
I am not sure how to ask this, but this is what I am wondering.
I am new to JS and am looking at a lot of webpages' sources. The thing that keeps coming up that I can't figure out is when you click a button (whatever it may be: next, submit, etc) how does it compare the input value to whatever it has. The button is given the input type = 'submit' but it doesn't explain where its destination is or what its comparing inputed data with.
Hope I explained well enough.
p.s. Thanks for any replies, and I have tried to look this question up; however, appears to be to vague.

Here you go. Also as a side note, system ("pause") is a bad habit.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
string password;
cout <<"Please input a password to enter successfully: ";
cin>>password;
if (password == "pen15")
cout <<"Welcome\n\n";
else
cout <<"invalid"<<endl;
cin.get();
return 0;

I liked your program. Dont get offended or anything (just wanted to make sure, because people seem to do that sometimes.) I am also new at programming and I wanted to say thank you because I didnt know about the toupper command until I read your thread. Anyways, I wanted to see if I could revise your script into a smaller one. However it is still your program that is the backbone of it (I didnt really change anything, I just condensed it, I dont know if this is frowned upon in this community (what i have done) but if it is I'm sorry.) Here is what I came up with:
//Created by Greg Schader revised by Valley
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
char function = ' ';
int firstNum = 0;
int secondNum = 0;
int answer = 0;
string show= "Answer of operation is: \n";
cout << "\n\nEnter the letter of the operation you wish to perform (a/s/m/d): ";
cin >> function;
cout << "\nEnter the first number of the operation: "<<endl;
cin >> firstNum;
cout << "\nEnter the second number of the operation: "<<endl;
cin >> secondNum;
switch (toupper(function))
{
case 'A':
answer = firstNum + secondNum;
cout <<show<< answer;
break;
case 'S':
answer = firstNum - secondNum;
cout <<show<< answer;
break;
case 'M':
answer = firstNum * secondNum;
cout <<show<< answer;
break;
case 'D':
answer = firstNum / secondNum;
if (firstNum==0)
cout<<"Inappropriate Opperation!\n";
else cout <<show<< answer;
break;
default:

Hey everyone,
well I wrote this program because I haven't seen anyone do it yet (it has always been random numbers, not sentences.) Also I just wanted to see if I could do it :). Im posting this not because I need it fixed, although I'll tweak it if I find a better way, I'm just wondering how YOU would create this program (produce random strings.) Im kinda postive there is a more elegant way to write this code seeing as I kinda JUST started programming.
Curious of other ways. Thanks :)
// I wrote this so I could make my conversation program
// seem less one dementional.
// And well I haven't seen anyone write a program that produced random sentences.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
char answer='y';
cout<<"Would you like to chat? (y/n) ";
cin>>answer;
if(answer=='y')
{
srand(time(0));
int randSent=(rand()%4+1);
if (randSent==1)
cout<<"\nSentence one goes here.\n";
else if (randSent==2)
cout<<"\nSentence two goes here.\n";
else if (randSent==3)
cout<<"\nSentence three goes here.\n";
else if (randSent==4)
cout<<"\nSentence four goes here.\n";
}
else cout<<"ok bye";
return(0);

thanks everyone.. i know it wasnt that hard of a program probably for you that have been doing this, but it was difficult for me, and i appreciate everone's help.. here is the finished one (well the revised one).. test it out plz :-).. tell me what you think, be honest..
i might be stupid because it took me till 3 am to get the program completely working but i learned a lot of extra information that i can add to future programs :-D.. and now im going to go crash into my bed... thanks again

Post the code. We can't comment on what we can't see.
im new at programming and advice is well appreciated
thanks for the website on system("pause")

keep in mind i just started :(, so its probably going to look retarded to most of you.. i wanted to see if i could create a program that would talk to me.. i would like to add more questions, just not yet..
the problem is (well the one i see) is that if the person types in more than one word for the reason, the program wont work..

Im new at C++ and am trying to teach myself. I want to ask the user of the program why they are feeling a certain way, but not do anything with the sentece. So its like
-how are you feeling?-
user -good-
-why are you feeling good?-
user- blah blah blah-
-ok i understand now-
