:cry:

I have written this in TCLite v1.x (Successful!) but when I ran it on BloodShed DevC++ v4.9.9.1 (Latest from Blood) it won't work!.. arrgg.. I need this functionalities.. ;-(.. for educational

I typed exactly these...

#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>

void main () 

{	int mark;
		int sum;
		char cont;
		int student;
		char gender;
		int age;

	do { 

	
			do 	{cout<<"\nEnter Number of Student: ";
			cin>>student;
			if (student<1||student>9000) 
			{cout<< "Invalid!";}} while (student <1||mark>9000);



			do 	{cout<<"\nEnter Age: ";
			cin>>age;
			if (age<15||age>60) 
			{cout<< "Invalid!";}} while (age<15||age>60);

			do
			{cout<<"\nEnter Gender: ";
			cin>>gender; 
			if (gender!='m'&&gender!='M' && gender!='f'&&gender!='F')
			{ cout<<"Invalid! You're not gay right? Enter Male or Female Only!"; }
			} while (gender!='m'&&gender!='M' && gender!='f'&&gender!='F');


		do 	{cout<<"\nEnter Mark: ";
			cin>>mark;
			if (mark<0||mark>100) 
			{cout<< "Invalid!";}}while (mark <0||mark>100);

			sum=sum+mark;

			if (mark>=0&&mark<=40) {cout<< "Grade F";}
			else if (mark>=41&&mark<=60) {cout<< "Grade C";}
			else if (mark>=61&&mark<=80) {cout<< "Grade B";}
			else if (mark>=81&&mark<=100) {cout<< "Grade A";}
	
			cout<<"\n\n";

			cout<<"\nYour Number of Student:"<<student;
			cout<<"\nYour Student Age:"<<age;

			cin>>cont;

My Question are as follows :-)

1) What possibly wrong could I done with the above codes? in TCLite everything is ok.. aw.. btw, where I can find latest TCLite?? or GUI based TCLite??

2) Is there any good GUI based C++ compilers that can support DOS mode '.exe' ?? (e.g #include <iostream.h>, #include <conio.h> etc etc..... ? coz I am still in educational field ;-) so any other compiler beside TCLite functionalities would be better if they still can run the above code.. in DOS Mode.. and with the written syntaxes ;-) Thanks!... Please I am not a developer so talk simple with me.. besides I just learned computer few months back.. and this semester is my first c++ class ..

3) Help me ok? :cry: :cry: :o

I am deep need for this code to run and I would be very very grateful if someone can point me to a good GUI (if possible) or recommendme to run the exactly above code ;-) coz this will be asked in my next exam ;-) .. Many Thanks!!!!!

I have found these...

... my questions is there any good compiler that can perform old +ancient coding method.. in GUI ;-) .. this would be great since I dislike to type in DOS mode.. very troublesome.. I wanna write in window environment ;-) Thanks for you kind solutions.

Hello,

You posted this code in the wrong forum.... it is not a tutorial. I moved it, and hope that you receive the comments you seek.

Christian

There are many C++ Errors in the code, obviously TClite has "auto-repaired" them for compilation. The first is VOID, yes VOID main. this should return an int! void main appears again in the next program. The clrscr() is non standard and is not supported by all compilers - it should be changed with system("PAUSE"); which requires including <cstdlib>. DevC++ does not support clrscr() as far as I know, void main again in the 3rd.... btw these new 'int' mains return 0 to signify the end (usually)

There are also a few improvements and shorthands that can be used when working in DevC++. sum=sum+mark; becomes sum += mark; The sheer volume of IF statements can be compacted into switch statements...

I just skim-read the code as 1) Its long (and its late right now!) and 2) there are no code-tags, which REALLY help if you have typed indents (which is probably a GREAT idea with long code). These basic fixes should mean a DevC++ compilation. I would assume DevC++ can do whatever TClite can do and much more, and is my recommendation :)

I took the liberty to show your first example to my students today as a masterpiece of bad coding style. This is what they came up with, modified to work on Dev-C++ and in acceptable style. Please look at it and learn!!!

oh many thanks!..to all! 1o0oBhP,vegaseat,kc0arf.. this code could run in Blood DevC++ right?.

I have tested the code on Blood.. ;-) wow it work fine despite error message says "2 C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\test.cpp:101 [Warning] no newline at end of file ".. what this mean?

2) Questions. ;-)

a.I press Y at the end of the program but the program wont continue.. vegaseat.. is the loop correct?.. by the way.. I begin to fall in love with C++.. ;-).. please I have grrreaat!! desire to learn... please help ;-)))) !!!!

b. why use....

1. #include <iostream>

2.using namespace std;

3. int main()

4. //system("PAUSE");
return 0; (Questions: Is this the same as getch();??)

5.cout << endl; <-- same as \n ??? Thanks!!

c. I wish to acknowledge that all the code shown above is what my lecturer thought us at a reputable computer engineering college in my country.. she says everything is A OK.. perfect..no problem but as far as Im concern vegaseat's example is best and latest technique.. so.. is this mean my lecturer teach not good or what?. I am confused..

after looking and making a deep thought on vegaseat's word... u mean I just add/replace these... in my code (Below)??

1. #include <iostream>

2.using namespace std; as

#include <iostream> --- why no .h (iostream.h)??
using namespace std; --- as a declaration, right??
i
3. int main() (as substitute for void main(), right? as to signify starting of program right??)

4. //system("PAUSE");
return 0; (substitute for getch() right?)

5.cout << endl; (substitute for \n) right?

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
int main() {
int choice;
float num1,num2,sum;

cout << "[1] Addition\n";
cout << "[2] Subtraction\n";
cout << "[3] Division\n";

cin >> num1;
cout << "Enter number 2: ";

cin >> num1;
cout << "Enter number 2: ";
cin >> num2;
sum = num1 - num2;
cout << "\nThe difference is: " << sum;
cout << endl;
break;

case 3: //division
cout << "Enter number 1: ";
cin >> num1;
cout << "Enter number 2: ";
cin >> num2;
sum = num1 / num2;
cout << "\nThe sum of division is: " << sum;

In addition and as Clarification to My other messy/confusing coding- Posting:
After making and looking real deep and making a really deep full thoughts on vegaseat's word/teaching methods... you (vegaseat) means I just add/replace these... In my code (below)??.. Please correct me, as I am a student with great desires to learn C++..

---------------------------------------------
a. To ADD/ to future coding:
#include <iostream>
a. To Serve as Replacement for:
#include <iostream.h>
Question: Where did the .h goes?
---------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------
b. To ADD/ to future coding:
using namespace std;
c. To Serve as..:
Starting a program right? (in my understanding, correct me if I am wrong.. :lol: )
---------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------
c. To ADD/ to future coding:
int main()
c. To Serve as Replacement for:
void main ()
Question: What happen to or what it is void ()?
---------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------
d. To ADD/ to future coding:
return 0;
d. To Serve as Replacement for:
getch()
Notes: Is this for "Pausing momentarily for few nanoseconds before pressing any key?.. Is this what it is for?
---------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------
d. To ADD/ to future coding:
cout<<endl;
d. To Serve as Replacement for:
\n
Notes: Is this for "\n" new line .. ;-) ?

how? :-) thanks!

many thanks to all EXPERTS!...!! I love you . I need this sincerely because my lecturer teach me using TCLite v1.0...!! but I suspect this is old stuff.. and I do have great desire to improve on the internet with you guys out there.. any help will SURE have my absolute appreaciation.. I honestly will study and PRINT this page for future reference hence, I will teach other as well.. you ALL are my GURUS.. ok?.. thanks in advance!!

hmm.. after some scrutiny in my own programming..

a. I think I have the very very small amount of programming (newbies like) methods..
b. I know how to basically compile and run.. for exam sake
c. I need some basic advice..

my REAL problems.
a. I dont know how to import (is this the correct way to say?) my code into other C++ compiler.... arrgg how come many C++ compiler does not perform the same styles and functions/etc etc???. which compiler makes the best?? I mean near to old coding methods but not so advance functions.. (get what I mean?) .. Let me give a scenario.. I am a student, and my exam syllabase (lala...) doesnt include advance stuff like.. etc etc.. coz it not what in my books (the school that I am attending) .. any commenting? coz bad news my college uses TCLite v1.0.. and I see most compiler uses strange/advance/hi-tech syntax in contrast (yes) with the one that I am using...


b. I want to be flexible.. honestly in term of programming in OLD methods and NEW methods.. what basic newbies advice you can give me? please.. I accept your PRO advice with open minds and heart. Be sure of that!

all compilers should recognise a core set of operations.

If you're using a very old compiler you're in trouble as those preceed that standard and won't implement it.
If you elect to use custom libraries for a specific compiler you deliberately abandon compatibility.

You're doing both.

- Learn STANDARD C++, not some compiler specific enhancements.
- LEARN the language, don't think you can program when you can get code you got from someone else to compile.
- use code tags when posting code. I (and many others) won't read any code that doesn't use them.

Thanks for replying I am reading this .. like 3-4 times. This standard C++ as you said, what is the standard one?.. I mean is there any site/or infos/downloads on those?. I appreaciate this .Another the above code, most of them I made them myself except the one that running 123.. most of the code and questions above.. forgive me for the mess!!.. I am typing it in hurry because I dont have computer at home(!).. and most of the time I code in some computer shops.. :sad: poor guy as you can say it.. but I do have the willingness to learn from the bottom..

I hope someone can help me with the code and questions above because if I cut and paste it would be long and also if I Edit it.. It can't ! coz I have to sent an email to admin of this site. sorry guys.. but like i told you I do not have the priviledge of editing this in time due to I am doing it at shop.. (sadly! we have to wait in turn to use the computers here..) please consider my requests thanks!

thanks once again to all.. be sure that your replies are well appreaciated (in advance!)

Actually we did your second program too. I put a few more comments in to answer some of your questions. You can use the old C style header files, but should use the newer header files with C++ They don't have the file extension .h

// Simple calculator  Dev-C++

#include <iostream>   // takes care of old stdio.h and stdlib.h

using namespace std;  // so you don't have to write std::cin std::cout std::endl

int main() 
{
  int choice;
  float num1,num2,sum;

  cout << "[1] Addition\n";
  cout << "[2] Subtraction\n";
  cout << "[3] Division\n";
  cout << "[4] Multiplication\n";
  cout << "\nEnter choice: ";
  cin >> choice;
  cout << "\n\n\n";
  
  // since this is the same for every math operation
  // just put it in front of the switch/case
  cout << "Enter number 1: ";
  cin >> num1;
  cout << "Enter number 2: ";
  cin >> num2;
  
  switch (choice)
  {
    case 1: //addition
      sum = num1 + num2;
      cout << "\nThe sum of addition is: " << sum;
      break;

    case 2: //subtraction
      sum = num1 - num2;
      cout << "\nThe difference is: " << sum;
      break;

    case 3: //division
      sum = num1 / num2;
      cout << "\nThe result of division is: " << sum;
      break;

    case 4: //multiplication
      sum = num1 * num2;
      cout << "\nThe result of multiplication is: " << sum;
      break;
  }
  cout << endl; // endl replaces \n but also flushes the output
  cout << endl; // just cosmetic
    
  system("PAUSE");  // replaces getch() or getchar(), makes console wait
  return 0;  // int main() expects return of integer value, 0 = no errors
}
// end program with a newline, actually a C++ standard requirement

You can use \n within your strings. Above all, don't use the old Borland menace clrscr it is really not needed and not a standard!

I have tested the code on Blood.. ;-) wow it work fine despite error message says "2 C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\test.cpp:101 [Warning] no newline at end of file ".. what this mean?

2) Questions. ;-)

a.I press Y at the end of the program but the program wont continue.. vegaseat.. is the loop correct?.. by the way.. I begin to fall in love with C++.. ;-).. please I have grrreaat!! desire to learn... please help ;-)))) !!!!

b. why use....

1. #include <iostream>

2.using namespace std;

3. int main()

4. //system("PAUSE");
return 0; (Questions: Is this the same as getch();??)

5.cout << endl; <-- same as \n ??? Thanks!!

c. I wish to acknowledge that all the code shown above is what my lecturer thought us at a reputable computer engineering college in my country.. she says everything is A OK.. perfect..no problem but as far as Im concern vegaseat's example is best and latest technique.. so.. is this mean my lecturer teach not good or what?. I am confused..

a. My mistake, we corrected this, but I left the older version on my notebook. Look at the end of the first program and change the AND to an OR:

} while (cont == 'Y' || cont == 'y');
 
  //system("PAUSE"); 
  return 0; 
}

b1. The newer C++ header files do not have extension .h
b2. using namespace std; so you don't have to write std::cin sdt::cout std::endl all the time
b3. A must!!! main() always returns an integer
b4. system("PAUSE"); makes your console wait for a key press, but is not needed here
b5. cout << endl; puts in a newline and flushes the output too, not a requirement but good practice. Keep using \n in your strings.

Just a note, end your program with a new line (empty line), this is actually a C++ standard requirement. The official C++ Standard is available on the net but costs big bucks! It's a huge document.

Your lecturer is doing the best she can under the limited circumstances, but she should at least try to modernize and also correct the obvious errors like the AND/OR mixup.

vegaseat thank you for the indept commenting be sure that I am reading this and understanding it as well. I already printed a copy of this. and I truly inspired by your kind words.! by far, you're quite professional dealing with people (newbie) like me.. you are lecturer too right? ;-) thanks ya!..

God Bless


p/s: If I have further questions I will ask from all the already given ones. Otherwise things will look cluttered if I add more future questions... but be sure all questions are inter-related so our scope here will futher reduced coz I think learning C++ is a huge(!) wild jungle to explore if truly wanna explore right? hehe.. I am specific and objectives person I know where problems might resides and fix it :-) ..

}

:mrgreen: please comment me as appropriate I will learn better that way ;-) .. have fun


P/S: If I want to add color or make a 'table' looking for this how??

e.g

cout<<"---------------------------------";
cout<<"| | |";
cout<<"---------------------------------";
cout<<"| | |";
cout<<"---------------------------------";

like this or what? and how to add color to these?.. thanksss!!!!!!

this parameter functions technique which include global and local variable .. seems very good way to write program coz it's easier to maintain and to debug future problems, right?.. I have extra questions which derived from the above..

a) what actually the best way to do/method to write param passing? like the one above..? since my lecturer told me local variable is better than global hence increase data security , er is that statement correct or what?.. tell me what is best way or the only absolute way to secure data in a tiny program without passing this variable globally.. er get what I mean (I also get confused) haha.. thanks!!!

b) If I want to make a 'template' or snippets of most frequently used codes in simple c++ programming what is the best way to implement this? (beside copy and paste method) ..

>my lecturer told me local variable is better than global hence increase data security
That's an odd choice of advantages. Most people say that global variables are bad because they increase coupling between functions, make reuse harder, cause problems with multithreading, make the code harder to follow in general because you don't know where a variable is used, and make code harder to maintain because you could accidentally modify or hide the global variable.

Though I suppose your lecturer was using the versatile word "security" to mean the last three reasons that I listed. He doesn't sound like a very good lecturer if vague words with innumerable interpretations are his preference.

:-| what u mean with odd choice of advantages?. But I agree with you on "global variables are bad because they increase coupling between functions, make reuse harder, cause problems with multithreading, make the code harder to follow in general "... true indeed..

a.tell me what obvious problem do i have please comment
b.kindly show me the appropriate solutions for the Questions 4 above thanks.

even though i am not a chinese but I want to take this opportunity to wish every chinese people who comes here a happy chinese new year ... ;-) gong xi fa chai.. ;-).

Well looking at your solution, the user can enter even a negative. Says the input must be more than 10 so... as a suggestion (for the getsalary())

int getsalary()
{
     int usersalary=0;
     while(usersalary <= 10) //initialized to 0 so it WILL go through this loop
     {
          cout<<"Enter salary (must be more than 10):\t";
          cin>>usersalary;
     }
     return usersalary;
}

Of course, your solution works, but i figure, that way may be more what the question is asking.

>what u mean with odd choice of advantages?
Data security isn't often paired with the scope and linkage of your variables.

thanks for all your reply, ;-) .. Anyone seen vegaseat?

b.kindly show me the appropriate solutions for the Questions 4 above thanks.

There are a huge amount of mistakes in this code.

1. make sure the function returns the right type, return '5%'; is not a floating point number!

2. you have declared your function names as variables in main(). Please declare the right variable names, getsalary() is a function and usersalary would be the integer variable.

3. function displayinfo() does not return anything and should be type void.

4. in main() you are calling a variable and assign it to a function, getsalary = usersalary(); should be usersalary = getsalary(); and so on!

5. your function prototypes should be declared near the top of the program.

6. please use some extra spaces to make this thing more readable, like if (getsalary <= 500 && getnoofyearsworked <= 5)

A lot of work to make this one work, but doable!
