Less is more :)

See if there is a function called clock()

I don't believe this code compiled. There is no DisplayList()

It would also be nice if you'd look at the code posted on the forum and reformat it for your next post so we can follow what is happening. Pretty code is much easier to read.

As Jonsca said, TFA=$10,000 is not a valid statement. It needs to be TFA=10000 since $ and , are not valid digits.

And the computer has no idea what NHT=2% OF MONTHLY GROSS means. You need to calculate the value of monthly gross in some variable (maybe MonthlyGross ) then set NHT to 2% of it: NHT = MonthlyGross * 0.02; 2% is meaningless also, by the way. It's 0.02.

As you obviously know, you divide out the last 3 digits and call the function again.

When you divide out the digits and your source is 0, you have the highest value as a result (the 45 from 45,652,567)
Output it and return.

The return loop then outputs ',' followed by the precious result.

So a minor change to you function should get it. Think if-else when you get your result.

OK, I see the function.

If you want to return the player, why is it a void function? Let it return the player:

int getplayer(int thisplayer) 
{
    if (thisplayer == 0) 
    {
        thisplayer = 1;
    }
    else
    {
        thisplayer = 0;
    }
    return thisplayer;
}

Now you have either player 0 or player 1.

Here, since someone gave me a warning for "unorganized post" Ill made it easier to understand for such people.

If you bothered to read the warning it has nothing to do with the content of your post. Read it again if you are confused.

As for you endless loop problem my comments above still stand. There is no "remembering" in the program once the loop starts again. What it knew in the first loop is forgotten in the second loop.

What do you do now to change from player 0 to player 1? I see no attempt to switch.

All your winner function does is look for a winner. It doesn't return who the winner is. If that's enough, OK. Otherwise, you might want to think about it a little more. Also, if your first loop finds a winner is it necessary to go through all the other loops?

i need to make a program that reads in a file and list things like
the number of characters,words lines spaces tabs etc.
anyone know the best way to do this?
any help anyone can provide is appreciated

thanks

Make a list what you need to keep track of.
Add to each of these items what indicates the item -- meaning if you need to count words, what indicates the end of a word?

There is never a best way. There are hundreds of ways to do any program. Keep in mind the word best rarely if ever really exists in computers.

Hi:

Thanks for ur reply.

Are you saying that i should use feof instead of eof ? I am not sure.

If they are identical, what do you think? You need to look in your text how to loop through a file.

The other thing is I am not sure what I can do about that getchar. I am positive that what I have in my code is wrong. All I am able to see is that if there is a space, i should increment the counter by 1.

Good, you know there is a problem. That's better than some others I've seen.
You need to think about what you are attempting to do. What designates the end of a word? What indicates the end of a line? Maybe in your loop instead of reading each line you could read each character looking for and counting these indicators.

See what you can do with that idea.

I mean seriously! Could you quote the passages in your book that states these are valic C++ statements:

TFA=$10,000
NIS=$520 OR $1040
NHT=2% OF MONTHLY GROSS
PEN=5% OF MONTHLY GROSS
EDTX=2% OF (GMS-NIS-PEN)
INTX=25% OF (GMS-PEN-NIS-TFA)
Bonus1=$15000
Bonus2=$9000
Bonus3=$3000

OK. I did it. Now what?

You should not be doing while (!myfile.eof()) -- here's why (feof() and .eof() are identical)

After you've read all the lines in the loop, what do you expect getchar() to read?

Look at your parameters. What does the function require? What are the actual definitions of the variables?

Here are the instructions

Goodbye Screen (screen 7)
display goodbye message, wait 10 seconds, cycle back to welcome screen

Very good. I repeat:

What function are you calling to actually perform the wait?

Because if mazeArray[readRow][readColumn] is north you go up one row.
Then if the new mazeArray[readRow][readColumn] is south, you go down one row.
now the new mazeArray[readRow][readColumn] is north (we know this because you were just there) you go up one row.
Then....

You need to keep track of which directions you've already gone so you don't get stuck like this.

I think you are just 'moving too fast'. Study the documentation, for example fopen_s().

Actually, for all the *_s functions -- stop using them. They are not standard which makes it very difficult to help you, and will make it difficult to write code if you need to use a different compiler.

And post the EXACT error messages, not a paraphrase. It helps us to see exactly what the compiler says.

"C INPUT FUNCTIONS" brings up sites with help on input functions in C.

What function are you calling to actually perform the wait? All I see is math done on the value to wait.

You always output the 3 digits followed by ','. Assume you have 10. Follow the code with that value to see why the comma is output.

thank you!

thread solved

Then why didn't you mark it solved?

Useful tips:

you can consolidate lines 13 through 33, and eliminate lines 37 through 44 by doing this:

Furthermore, keeping your choices in array format would simplify your code:

Assuming he's learned arrays. If not, instructor may not like it...

Yeah, figured you had a brain fart and could correct it easily... :icon_wink:

Why? This thread has been dead for months. We could have given you an infraction instead for resurrecting a dead thread and for giving an answer to someone's homework question -- IOW cheating. Consider yourself lucky.

That's because each line you mentioned is extremely wrong.
Look up do-while loop to understand the syntax of the statement.

You don't. Unless your computer can read your mind, you need to type your question. I just happen to know high-level tricks.

How can you not find information on CODE TAGS
1) in the Rules you were asked to read when you registered
2) in the text at the top of this forum
3) in the announcement at the top of this forum titled Please use BB Code and Inlinecode tags
4) any place CODE tags were used, even in responses to your posts
5) Even on the background of the box you actually typed your message in!

Have you learned anything about converting numbers to strings? Any string manipulation at all? If not, you do not have the knowledge yet. Give it a couple weeks and return to this question. You should have the concepts by then.

Nice try. Homework questions are generally not designed to be tricky. They are designed to teach. Narue is correct.

The Member Rules state "Do not post threads with generic subjects such as "HELP ME" or "PROBLEM". Instead, clearly state a phrase describing the problem as the thread's title." Please post proper titles next time.

Thank you for using code tags, but The Member Rules state "Do not post threads with generic subjects such as "HELP ME" or "PROBLEM". Instead, clearly state a phrase describing the problem as the thread's title." Please post proper titles next time.

Look up "tree traversal"

You don't know how to use Google? The link I posted will teach you.

We need to send one to Graham Norton!

Sure. See this and specifically this

Why not? Just print '|'.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout << "||||||||||" << endl;
    
    return 0;
}

Did you get the correct answers?

It just means somewhere you defined a variable p and didn't use it in the code.

The problem asked how to print vertical lines "|".I was also working on the same problem and was getting the same doubt and then I saw someone has already posted the doubt but no one has replied to it.

No, the problem is "My assingment is C++ program to insert and delete elements in Binary Search Tree.I am almost done wid the assingment. But the major part lies here. the strucure of the output is difficult to obtain.. i will explzin the question now."

Are you attempting to hijack this thread for your own question? Don't. Start your own thread. This is gajji2020's thread.

Could anyone please help on how to print "|" here....

What does this question have to do with the problem posted?

Maybe this will help more tan the other link

Looks to me like you need to explain in detail what the problems are -- and where in the code you're having problems. I don't see a problem in compShip() which it sounds like you're complaining about.

When would you like it? How complex should we make it? Can you teach us what a music cutter is? How do we read the music? Convert from what to what?

Why did you calculate temp? You just threw it away.

You might be better off getting the input into temp variables.

After reading one fruit, look through the array and
-- if the fruit is not there, put the values into the array
-- if the fruit is there, add the number to the the fruit number.
Then get the next fruit.

Maybe it might be a good idea to look up switch in your book. Books generally explain these things.
