I'm trying to write a function that that returns an table from an array. But, for some reason, it is only displaying the first row or the array instead of all.

<h2>table</h2>

$table = array("440" => "cubic inch engine","truck F" => 150);

function t6($table)
{
        foreach ($table as $key => $value)
        return ("<tr><td>$key</td><td>$value</td></tr>\n");
}
echo t6($table);

Here is what I have to do.

this code needs to be modified to be able to enable the user to select a file in which to store grades. The application should allow the user to write any number of grades into that file and it should write one grade per line. Then it has to be modified to allow the user to specify the location and name of the file containing grades. The application should read the grades from the file, then display the total of grades and the class average.

I have it writing to the file fine, but I can't get it to read from a file.

I have to create a cafeteria survey application. Twenty students were asked to reate, on a scale of 1 to 10, the quality of the food in the student cafeteria, with 1 being "awful" and 10 being "excellent." Allow the user input to be entered using a ComboBox. Use an integer array to store the frequency of each rating. Display the frequencies as a bar chart in a list box.

I can get the comboBox and everthing, but it's not displaying the bar chart. Any help would be appreciated. Here is my code.

Public Class Form1

            Else
                bar = String.Format("{0,0}", count + 1)

The program is outputting

Enter a number in inches: 53
1346 mm
OR
1 m 2 cm and 0 mm

It should output:

1346 mm
OR
1 m 34 cm and 6 mm

Something is going wrong in the math after it converts from the inches to M.

The question is:
Write a code that will take and inches input and convert it to mm. Then display the same result using m, cm, and mm. Example would be:

Input:

53 inches

Output:

1346 mm
OR
1 m 34 cm and 6 mm

Something is happening with the remainder conversion that is not calculating the cm and mm right. I know I should probably using casting, but I'm not sure how to. Can someone help?

Thank you.

That is all she gave us. That is the exact question, word for word.

Can someone tell me if this is write?

Rewrite the following if/else/if structure as nested if elses.

if (status == ‘P’ && amount >= 10000)
	due_flag = true;
else if (status == ‘P’)
	time_remaining - = 1;
else if (status == ‘O’)
{
	time_remaining = 0;
	warning_flag = true;
}

This is what I have:

if (status == 'P' && amount >= 10000)
   {
              due_flag = true;
   }
   {
             if (status == 'P')
             {
                  time_remaining - = 1;
             }
             else (status == 'O')
             {
                  time_remaining = 0;
                  warning_flag = true;
             }

   }

I understand why i'm getting garbage, its not reading from the input file. Can someone help me to understand how to get it to read from my input file. I realized all i've done is opened it.

Completely changed what i was doing again. I've decided to us a

Thank you for the help. I really do appreaciate it. I've got it displaying exactly what I want, but I have a line of garbage above the output I want. Can you tell were it's coming from?

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    const int SIZE = 15; //Length of line
    char first[SIZE], last[SIZE];    
    const int ARRAY_SIZE = 100;
    int numbers[ARRAY_SIZE], t1, t2, a1, a2, a3, a4, attendance;
    int count;
    
    ifstream students;
    
    students.open("C:\\grades.txt");

    count = 0;
    
    do
   	{
    cout << first << " " << last << " " << a1 << " " << a2 << " " << a3 << " " << a4 << " " << endl ;
    cout << " " << endl;
    cout <<"" << endl;
    }
    
    while
    (
      count < ARRAY_SIZE &&
      students  >> first >> last >> t1 >> t2 >> a1 >> a2 >> a3 >> a4 >> attendance
    );
    {
      count++;
    }
    
    students.close ();
    
  
    
    
    
    system("PAUSE");
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

The output looks like this:

If i delete the ;, it reads the first number and the rest is gibberish.

this is what I got so far. I can get it to read the first number that i want it to, but not the rest.

#include <cstdlib>

    int count;
    
    ifstream students;
    
    students.open("C:\\grades.txt");
    
    for (count = 0; count < ARRAY_SIZE; count++);
    students >> first >> last >> t1 >> t2 >> numbers[count] >> attendance;
    
    students.close ();
    
   	for (count = 0; count < ARRAY_SIZE; count++);
    cout << numbers[count] << " " ;
    cout <<"" << endl;

I have to utilize an array for a homework project. I want it to read a line from a file on my hard drive. However, the line starts with words and ends with numbers. I only need to utilize the numbers for a function that I want to pass a value from. I'm sorry if this doesn't make sense. Every example that i've seen for reading from a file into an array is for int and not any type of char, let alone both. Can someone point me in the right direction.

This is what the text file looks like:

Barney Jones 95 83 92 85 87 85 29
Sandra King 99 97 92 91 92 95 32
Josh Harding 0 0 0 0 31 37 30

I finally got it working. It is writing to the output file as needed. It's not the cleanest I could have done it, but it works.

Thanks for all of your help.

The main requirements are that we have three functions other than main and don't use globals variables. We have to input from one file and output to another. I was thinking that re-opening was messing it up. I really might have to rethink all of my functions.

Thank you for your help. It really is appreciated.

I actually thought about making it a whole separate function. I might just do that. But I'm having issues in the void accept function and the transfer function. They both do the same thing.

So I've decided to just force my output to file within each function since I can't get my functions working right. However, my problem is when I output the address to file, it cuts off the first half of the address line. I've tried using cin.getline and std::getline and they both do the same thing. Any ideas?

We're doing them right now. She said that we don't have to pass information in this particular assignment but that it was good practice.

You're right, I don't completely understand how they work. I'm taking and online beginning C++ class and trying to learn this on my own. Thank you for the links.

I decided to try and start fresh. I don't know if I'm headed in the right direction or not but everything is working except that my values still aren't returning to the switch statement so I can output them into my file.

The tamount is input by the user in the transfer function.

We are doing an assignment that reads from a file on the hard drive, asks for user input and then writes it to a different file on the hard drive. We have to use three different functions, besides the main, and cannot use global variables.

I cannot seem to get all of the information I need to print to my output file. Everything prints in the file except the address and tamount. The tamount prints, just not what is input by the user.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I am inputing from a text file, displaying it on the screen, displaying the menus and the choosing from there. It will repeat the menu, but, how to do I get it to read the next line in my input file and display it to the screen before repeating the menu?

Thanks everyone, I figured a way around it.

Can you all tell me if i'm even on the right track with this program. I'm really starting to doubt it. I've gotten the switch statements to read the letter and access the right menu, but I also need it to read information from a file on the hard drive. Here are the instructions for the program and what I have so far.

Instructions:
Background

Your assignment this time is to build an interactive program that allows telemarketers to solicit people in a file for credit cards. The program will open up a text file on the C drive filled with potential customers and display processed data to the screen in a way that the telemarketer can use it. The program will then give them choices to continue the sales call and finally, will save output to a file on the C drive for future credit card processing.

Functionality

The program should do the following:

• Read a customer status, name and phone number from a file called C://potentials.txt

o A customer has a preferred status if the field contains an ‘X’. If it contains anything else, they are not preferred.

• Display the name, phone number and the available interest rate for that customer so that the telemarketer can read it, call the customer and offer them a credit card

o Preferred customers get 7.9%, everybody else gets 12.9%

• Display a menu offering the …

Mit --

You're right...it's not passing information. The status and letter come back blank. Let me see what I can figure out on passing information between my functions.

I'm using Bloodshed DEV-C++.

This is my first programming class. I was doing well until we got to loops, but I think I'm starting to pick them up.

Thanks... I changed it to this, but it still is not reading the if statements

char selection;
    
    do
    {
        selection = menu ();
        switch (selection)
        {
            case 'A':  accept ();
                       break; 
            case 'a':  accept ();
                       break;
            case 'T':  transfer ();
                       break;
            case 't':  transfer ();
                       break;
            case 'D':  decline ();
                       break;
            case 'd':  decline ();
                       break;
        }
    }   while (1);
    return 0;    
}

This program compiles and lets me select a letter from the menu, but then it just repeats the menu, it never outputs the statements that correspond with the letter chosen. Any ideas why?
