[Dev-C++] Re:RE: Re: RE: need help using cin.getline()

[Julio L. <ju2...@ya...>]

I dont know how recent of an edition you are looking
for, but there are some downloadable C++ books (like
Sams Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days 2nd Edition) here:

http://www.informit.com/free_library/index.asp?st={FAA431F7-11F1-4FBF-8681-0C84321AEB69}&session_id={749C1C0D-7D5F-4319-B1DA-6392AB89175F}

<IIIIIIIIIIIIIII>

anyway, any of you guys know where I can get a C++
ebook? That is, the
one I can download? the one that I have here was
really meant as a tutorial
- an introduction to the language, but it is not
complete - I didn't even
know the commands to flush the keyboard buffer! Well,
hope you guys know
where I can download a book...

<IIIIIIIIIIIIIII>

also, to julio, just to remind you, I was using the
Cygnus Insight debugger(although
not the current version). I prefer to use this than
the console mode GNU
debugger(because its easier to learn for me). if you
downloaded dev-c++
from the internet, Insight is not included... you can
download it from
the resources page. If you already have it, well just
try to use it...
a debugger might be one of the tools that could help
diagnose a problem(because
it is a de-bugger). Well... I really hope that somehow
I helped you...

also, to all you folks! how do I use the "flush"
function? what are its parameters?

Thank you everyone in advance!

Re: [Dev-C++] I need your suggestions for the next Dev-C++ release ;)

[Jason H. <jas...@bt...>]

I have been using the most recent distribution of MinGW with Dev-C++ for a
while now. I installed it into C:\MinGW using the standard directory
structure supplied with the package (v1.1 I think), and then went to Dev-C++
compiler options and changed all the paths to that directory, i.e.
C:\MinGW\Bin\ for the binaries.

I haven't had any problems working with that so far, however I would like it
if the MinGW was distrubuted separated from the Dev-C++ binaries and other
stuff. I don't mind it being part of the distribution package, but it would
be better for it to be installed to another path from Dev-C++.

Jason.

Hi Colin,

I'm sure this has been mentioned before ...
the ability "add on" Dev-C++  to a current Mingw install.

Or to put it another way allow Mingw to be updated like a normal Mingw
install.

I'm sure if I looked through all the directories I could work out what goes
where
... but it would be nice if it used the standard Mingw directory structure.

Thanks for a great product!

Ray Smith

Re: [Dev-C++] RE: RE: RE: need help using cin.getline()

[Jason H. <jas...@bt...>]

Saying flush function is a bit missleading as the flush() function is for
the output stream. The function you want is ignore(), which will discard a
certain number of characters from the input stream i.e.

cin.ignore(2);

This will discard two characters. I'm not going in depth into this function,
and it can do a little more than what I have said. I recomend that you get
yourself a good C++ reference book to help you answer questions like this. I
use "C++: The Complete Reference (third edition)" by Herbert Schildt for
syntax and function finding, and Bjarne Stroustrup's "C++ Programming
Language (third edtion)" for programming style related stuff. Both are good
books, although if you are an absolute beginner to programming in general I
recomend you also have a look at a beginners book. Note that there may be
newer editions than the ones I have.

Jason.

Can anyone show me how to use the flush function? I

but when I do, the compiler says I passed to few
parameters... What am I supposed to pass to the flush
function???

of what should be rewrote/added/removed. Currently here are the things i'm 
willing to change/add :

- Makefiles are now used for compiling
- Source editor will now fit in a tabsheet (no more multiple windows 
interface)
- Make it a lot more stable (this is the aim of this rewrote)
- International language support (no more English-only version)

Huge features such as code explorer or RAD tool won't be implemented for now

If you have suggestions please send them to ha...@bl... with the 
subject : DEV-C++ SUGGESTIONS

Thank you in advance :)
Greetings,
Colin Laplace

[Dev-C++] Morfit 3d engine for Dev-C++

[<dA-Vin-G> <vin...@ed...>]

Hey! Is there anyone who would be kind enough to tell me if there is a Dev-C++ package for the free Morfit 3d engine? (or would there be someone whose gonna do it?)

Thanks in advance

[Dev-C++] RE: need help using cin.getline()

[<dA-Vin-G> <vin...@ed...>]

I dont really know if this is right or not, I'm still learning C++ but I think I can help at this problem of yours. I had experience in programming other languages and I hope it helps...

I actually debugged you code. It wasn't really the program's error but a LOGICAL ERROR - that is, the syntax is right, the compiler says it is right, but what it does is "wrong". Still with me?

My solution, I added the following line(s) to your code. Fortunately it worked. I hope this works...

char AbsorbKey[2];
cin.getline(AbsorbKey, 50);

I added them to the "void menu()" function. It now looks like this:

void menu() { 
    Book *storedBooks= new Book [20]; 
    unsigned short int counter=1; 

    int exit=1; 
    while(exit) { 
        unsigned short int menuChoice; 
        cout << "\n\n ***Welcome to the Library of
        E-Books***\n\n\n"; 
        cout << " (1) View Sample Book Info\n"; 
        cout << " (2) Store New Book Info\n"; 
        cout << " (3) Search Book Info\n"; 
        cout << " (4) Leave the Library\n\n\n"; 
        cout << " Enter Choice #: "; 
        cin >> menuChoice; 

        // This is what I added =>
        
        char AbsorbKey[2];
        cin.getline(AbsorbKey, 50); 
        
        // :~

        switch(menuChoice) { 

            //...

        }//end switch(menuChoice) 

        delete [] storedBooks; 

    }//end while loop 

}//end menu() 

Explanation:
I don't really know how or why it happened. I arrived at this solution because when I was debugging it (without the lines I added), I noticed that the first byte of bAuthor always changes to "/00" or simply a empty character. And then, it would pass the cin.getline() and assumed that there was already input from the user.

A hunch - a character that cant be read by "cin >> int" was passed to "cin.getline(char[], int)". The function thought that it had already recieved the input it needed.

I dont think this is the right explanation. But I hope it works for you... It worked for me

[Dev-C++] audio output

[Peter C. <pet...@li...>]

Hello

I'me writing a genetic algorithm for creating music. Does anybody know how 
to generate sounds (pitch and duration) .  My program is written in console 
mode, but if that doesn't support sounds I could  rewrite it in windows.

I imagine there's some function  taking two arguments that would do the 
job.  So any help would be appreciated.

[Dev-C++] RE:what does this mean?

[Julio L. <ju2...@ya...>]

CD3DFont* and CMenuItem* are NOT pointers, they are
the type of the pointer variable. g_pMenuFont and
g_pCurrentMenu are the pointers, which according to
what you wrote point to nothing.

It is the same, but probably less confusing, or at
least to me, to write it this way:

CD3DFont *g_pMenuFont = NULL;
CMenuItem *g_pCurrentMenu = NULL;

//all the same
type *pointer= NULL;
type * pointer= MULL;
type* pointer= NULL;

[Dev-C++] need help using cin.getline()

[Julio L. <ju2...@ya...>]

I cant seem to figure out why my program seems to skip
over the part where it is supposed to take input for
the author using cin.getline() and skips down to the
next cin.getline() for the title. Does anyone have any
suggestions, or comments? Here is the code (I used a
header file which i'll put first in addition to the
source file): 

library2.hpp: 

class Book 
{ 
public: 

Book(){} 
Book(char bAuthor[], char bTitle[], unsigned short int
bPubDate) 
{ 
strcpy(author,bAuthor); 
strcpy(title,bTitle); 
pubDate= bPubDate; 
} 

~Book(){} 

void setAuthor(char
bAuthor[]){strcpy(author,bAuthor);} 
void setTitle(char bTitle[]){strcpy(title,bTitle);} 
void setPubDate(unsigned short int bPubDate){pubDate =
bPubDate;} 

char* getAuthor(){return author;} 
char* getTitle(){return title;} 
unsigned short int getPubDate() const{return pubDate;}


private:

char title[50]; 
unsigned short int pubDate; 
};

[Dev-C++] Environment options - default code for new files

[Flavio de S. (<fla...@ne...>]

Hi listers:

I am a new user of Dev-C++ and I am liking it a lot.

I am just trying to use the "Default code for new source files" in the 
Environment Options menu, but it seems that it doesn't work. I tried to 
change the default code, but when I create a new file, it  does not fill in 
with my default code.

What do i have to do to make it work? Please, help me.

tks in advance.

RE: [Dev-C++] borland trial download

[Ioannis V. <no...@ya...>]

I think it has restrictions of use for 30 days. Yes it has Delphi
compiler dcc32, but i have not played with delphi so much. After all
what do you need Delphi when you have C or C++? :)

[Dev-C++] borland trial download

[Jared <sto...@ya...>]

What type of restrictions are on the borland download? What do they do to it
I was considering downloading a trial compleeting a book with it if possible
and then deciding to buy or not. Is it true also that the c++ compiler will
compile delfi as well?
