cin chars & arrays

[Nobody/Anonymous]

whats wrong here?! how do i cin a multiple word (including spaces) char?

#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{
char name[250];

cout<<"Name: ";
cin>>name;

cout<<"Name: "<<name<<endl;
system("pause");
return 0;
}

#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#define MAX 250

int main()
{
   char name[MAX];
   int x;

   std::cout << "Name: ";
   std::cin >> name;
   for (x=0; x<strlen(name); x++)
     {
        name[x] = toupper(name[x]);
      }
   std::cout << std::endl << name << std::endl;
   system ("PAUSE");
   return (0);
}

This is how I'd do it, but I'm sure there may be a better way. I'm relatively new to this.

#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <stdlib.h>  // need for system ("PAUSE"); below.
#define MAX 250

using namespace std;  // add this and don't need 'std::'

int main()
{
char name[MAX];
int x;

cout << "Name: ";
cin >> name;
for (x=0; x<strlen(name); x++)
{
name[x] = toupper(name[x]);
}
cout << endl << name << endl;
system ("PAUSE");
return (0);
}

// Cut-nPaste this into dev. No project needed.

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h> // for the getchar() below
#include <conio.h>

using namespace std;

void SetColor(short Color)
{

double salePrice = 0;
double discnt = 0;
double oPFactor = 1;
    
// Simple little program to find the original price.
// ! ! Press enter after each cin..   press enter to close at program's end. ! !    
cout << "    FIND THAT PRICE " << endl;
cout << " Enter the sale price you paid, and the Discount(%).[as example: .10 = 10%]" << endl << endl;
cout << endl << endl;
    
cout << endl;

//Start of Program
#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
    char name[50];
    cout << "Enter full name\n";
    cin.getline(name,50);
    cout << "Your name is " << name << endl;
    system("PAUSE");
}
//End of program

cin.getline(char* , MAX_LENGTH, ACCEPT_UP_TO = '\n')

If you run the program, and use "Curtis Sutter" as your input, try changing the cin.getline(name,50); to cin.getline(name,50,'i');
Normally the getline function defaults to the '\n' character but changing this will make accept up to that character.

cin.getline(name,50); // Curtis Sutter as input
cout << name;  //outputs Curtis Sutter

cin.getline(name,50,'t'); // Curtis Sutter as input
cout << name;  //outputs Cur

Be forwarned that if you do not include a
cin.ignore(100,'\n');
when using something like cin.getline(name,50,'t'); anything not accepted is left in the buffer.

Try this:

//Start of Program
#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
    char name[50];
    cout << "Enter full name\n";
    cin.getline(name,50,'t');
    cout << "Your name is " << name << endl;
    cin.getline(name,50);
    cout << "Your name is " << name << endl;
    system("PAUSE");
}
//End of Program

Hope all of this has been of a benifit to you.  Feel free to write me at curtis8@hotmail.com if you have any more questions of this type.

#include <cstdlib>
#include <cstdio>
char name [MAX_PATH];
int main ()
{
printf ("Name: ");
gets (name);
printf ("Name: %s\n", name);
system ("pause");
} 

Outputs exactly as many words as you input. Cin uses scanf for input and scanf reads only first word from the string.
