Subprogram c++

[aviavyne]

Hello, I recently started taking classes in c++, and one of our assignments is to create a program that converts Fahrenheit to Celsius degrees. I was able to do so, however I want to make the conversion part into a subprogram, I have some idea on how to write it, but whenever I do it crashes or something bad happens. Any help is appreciated thanks.

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

float FahrenheitToCelcius(float fahrenheit);

int main()
{
	float fahrenheit;
	float celsius;
	int choice;
	float FahrenheitToCelsius;
	do{

	cout << "This program converts fahrenheit to celsius" << endl << endl ;
	cout << "Please Enter Fahrenheit Degrees: ";
	cin >> fahrenheit; 
	cout << "Your Conversion Is: "<< fahrenheit << " Degree Fahrenheit to:" << endl;
	cout << FahrenheitToCelsius << fixed << setprecision(2) <<" Degrees Celsius.";
	cout << "Want To Play Again?";
	cout << "1 == Yes";
	cout << "2 == No " << endl;
	cin >> choice;

	} while (choice == 1);

	cin.get();
	return 0;
}

float FahrenheitToCelcius(float celsius, float fahrenheit)
{
	celsius = (5.0/8.0) * (fahrenheit - 32);
	return celsius;
}

Well you have some serious issues there.
On line 20 you try to cout a function. Uh-oh, that does not work at all.
You would write

cout << FahrenheitToCelsius(fahrenheit) << " Degrees Celsius";

Also, on line 32 your function definition mismatches the declaration up on line 6.

Make sure both lines read

float FahrenheitToCelcius(float fahrenheit)

Also, delete line 13.

I am surprised you say it crashes. I wouldn't think this would even compile.
Please make the corrections I suggested and post back with your results :)

Ps. You might want to call it function not subprogram, although it is probably not wrong ;-)

Also your formula for converting is wrong it is 5.0/9.0 not 5.0/8.0.

I have just started in C + + and I had this program to do: Write a program that inputs two (2) numbers and determines which of the two numbers is the smallest. If the numbers are equal, display a message that they are equal.

error C2447: '{' : missing function header (old-style formal list?)

Here is the program:

#include <iostream>

{

//add function definitions for input and output

int myNumber = 7;

if (myNumber > 4); 
     cout << “A true statement” << endl;
     cout << myNumber << “ is greater than five” << endl;

     if (myNumber == 7); 
          cout << myNumber << “ is a great number.”;
          cout << “It can be divided by 3 or 2 evenly!”;


else 
     cout << “A false statement” << endl;
     cout << myNumber << “ is less than five” 


<< endl;
}

I made some changes, however when I try to compile it, I get an error saying: 'FahrenheitToCelsius' : function does not take 1 arguments. Anyone know how to fix this?

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>

float FahrenheitToCelsius();
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	float fahrenheit;
	float celsius;
	int choice;
	do{

	cout << "This program converts fahrenheit to celsius" << endl << endl ;
	cout << "Please Enter Fahrenheit Degrees: ";
	cin >> fahrenheit; 
	cout << "Your Conversion Is: "<< fahrenheit << " Degree Fahrenheit to:" << endl;
	cout << FahrenheitToCelsius (fahrenheit) << setprecision(2) <<" Degrees Celsius.";
	cout << "Want To Play Again?";
	cout << "1 == Yes";
	cout << "2 == No " << endl;
	cin >> choice;

	} while (choice == 1);

	cin.get();
	return 0;
}

float FahrenheitToCelsius(float fahrenheit)
{

	return celsius = (5.0/9.0) * (fahrenheit - 32);
}

make line 7

float FahrenheitToCelsius( float );

[Stefano Mtangoo]

make line 7

float FahrenheitToCelsius( float );

Nope!
It is line 5.

Your signature of function says it takes no argument, and then you use it on line 19 with one argument passed to it and hence the error

Don't hijack threads. kindly open yours

I have finally got it to work, but we all know we can't have d45s6 degrees Fahrenheit, so does anyone know how i can validate the program so that it only accepts digits?

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>


using namespace std;
float FahrenheitToCelsius(float);
int main()
{
	float fahrenheit;
	float celsius;
	int choice;
	do{

	cout << "This program converts fahrenheit to celsius" << endl << endl ;
	cout << "Please Enter Fahrenheit Degrees: ";
	cin >> fahrenheit;
	while (!(isdigit(fahrenheit))){
		
		cin.clear();
		fflush(stdin);
		cout << "Please Enter A Digit: "<< endl;
		cin >> fahrenheit;
	
	}




	cout << "Your Conversion Is: "<< fahrenheit << " Degree Fahrenheit to:" << endl;
	cout << FahrenheitToCelsius (fahrenheit) << setprecision(2) <<" Degrees Celsius.";
	cout << "Want To Play Again?";
	cout << "1 == Yes";
	cout << "2 == No " << endl;
	cin >> choice;

	} while (choice == 1);

	cin.get();
	return 0;
}

float FahrenheitToCelsius(float fahrenheit)
{

	return fahrenheit = (5.0/9.0) * (fahrenheit - 32);
}

whenever I try to enter letters or digits, with the code above it rejects them both, i only want it to reject letters.

[Excizted]

isdigit checks a character if it is a digit character.
The user entered string is parsed into a float (float fahrenheit; on line 10) and is automatically (if possible) converted to a digit.

This means you will not be able to check if the entered string was letters or numbers.

You would have to read the cin to a character array instead, and then check each character for validity.

You could do something like this:

char input[10]; // max length is 9 (tenth place is needed for terminating null)
cin >> input;
for(unsigned int i = 0; i < 10; i++) // 10 again, as we wrote it in input size
{
    if(input[i] == '\0') // we have reached the end of the input
        break; 
    if(!isdigit(input[i]))
    {
        cout << input << " contains invalid characters." << endl;
        return -1; // exit program
    }
}

I have done as instructed, and the person is able to enter a value, but then it says that Fahrenheit is uninitialized, I don't know how to take the value that a person entered and put it in the cout as well. Take a look.

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>


using namespace std;
float FahrenheitToCelsius(float);
int main()
{
	float fahrenheit;
	char input[10];
	float celsius;
	int choice;
	do{

	cout << "This program converts fahrenheit to celsius" << endl << endl ;
	cout << "Please Enter Fahrenheit Degrees: ";
	cin >> input;
	for(unsigned int i = 0; i<10; i++){
		if (input[i] == '\0')
			break;
		if(!isdigit(input[i])){
			cout <<"Please Enter Digits ";
		}

	}
	cout << "Your Conversion Is: "<< fahrenheit << " Degree Fahrenheit to:" << endl;
	cout << FahrenheitToCelsius (fahrenheit) << fixed <<setprecision(2) <<" Degrees Celsius.";
	cout << "Want To Play Again?";
	cout << "1 == Yes";
	cout << "2 == No " << endl;
	cin >> choice;

	} while (choice == 1);

	cin.get();
	return 0;
}

float FahrenheitToCelsius(float fahrenheit)
{

	return fahrenheit = (5.0/9.0) * (fahrenheit - 32);
}

Sorry my bad.
This means that float fahrenheit has not been assigned a value.
You will have to convert the input string to a floating numeric value, after validating it.

You will have to #include <stringstream> also.
After line 26, you would have to do the conversion like this:

stringstream convert;
convert << input;
convert >> fahrenheit;

isn't there a way to do a simple loop?

[Excizted]

This is the most correct way to do it.
Alternate methods are C ways, and is shouldn't be used in C++ :)

hi.im spirit of love.....im new member 1st year in it can you help me what is the use of subprogram?

[spirit of love]

what function should i use?in functio as subprogram???
