  • C++ CIN cin skips randomly

    - by user69514
    I have this program, but cin in randomly skips.. I mean sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't. Any ideas how to fix this? int main(){ /** get course name, number of students, and assignment name **/ string course_name; int numb_students; string assignment_name; Assignment* assignment; cout << "Enter the name of the course" << endl; cin >> course_name; cout << "Enter the number of students" << endl; cin >> numb_students; cout << "Enter the name of the assignment" << endl; cin >> assignment_name; assignment = new Assignment(assignment_name); /** iterate asking for student name and score **/ int i = 0; string student_name; double student_score = 0.0; while( i < numb_students ){ cout << "Enter the name for student #" << i << endl; cin >> student_name; cout << "Enter the score for student #" << i << endl; cin >> student_score; assignment->addScore( Student( student_name, student_score )); i++; } }

  • C++ cin keeps skipping.....

    - by user69514
    I am having problems with my program. WHen I run it, it asks the user for the album, the title, but then it just exits the loop without asking for the price and the sale tax.

  • C++ cin questions

    - by Kim
    This seems to be weird: int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { cout << "function main() .." << '\n'; char ch = 0; double number_value=1.1; cin >> ch; cin.putback(ch); cin >> number_value; cout << "1 .. " << " " << cin.good() << " " << number_value << '\n'; cin >> number_value; cout << "2 .. " << " " << cin.good() << " " << number_value << '\n'; return 0; } If I input the following: 7a 1 I get the following: function main() .. 7a 1 1 .. 1 7 2 .. 0 0 I understand the: 1 .. 1 7 but why the variable number_value is 0. cin.good() shows failure so nothing would have read and the value in number_value from the previous assignment would remain. I expect the value of 7.

  • How do you make cin typesafe?

    - by cactusbin
    It is well known that cin is not typesafe (e.g. cin integer; and entering "fifty five" will cause it to flip out). I have seen many not-so-elegant ways to hand this, such as getlining a string and using sstream to convert it to a number, or looping with cin.fail() and clearing the stream and reentering it, etc. Is there any library or anyway to overload the inserter operator to make cin automatically typesafe?

  • Problem of using cin twice.

    - by gc
    Here is the code: string str; cinstr; cout<<"first input:"<<str<<endl; getline(cin, str); cout<<"line input:"<<str<<endl; The result is that getline never pauses for user input, therefore the second output is always empty. After spending some time on it, I realized after the first call "cinstr", it seems '\n' is still stored in cin (using cin.peek() to check), which ends getline immediately. The solution will be adding one more line between the first usage and the second one: cin.ignore(numeric_limits::max(), '\n'); However, I still don't understand, why is '\n' left there after the first call? What does istream& operator really do?

  • C++ cin problems. not capturing input from user

    - by user69514
    I have the following method which is not capturing anything from the user.If I input New Band for the artist name, it only captures "New" and it lefts out "Band". If I use cin.getline() instead nothing is captured. Any ideas how to fix this? char* artist = new char [256]; char * getArtist() { cout << "Enter Artist of CD: " << endl; cin >> artist; cin.ignore(1000, '\n'); cout << "artist is " << artist << endl; return artist; }

  • Exact cin equivalent function in python

    - by gkt.pro
    Suppose user enter this string at terminal 123 456 456 //then hit enter How do I scan these three (could be more) numbers in different variables in python Could be something like this: for i in range(1,n) m[i]=#WHAT FUNCTION SHOULD I PUT HERE In c++ we can easily use cin>>m[i] inside above loop to scan the variables. If i use input() or raw_input() , they would scan whole line in single variable.

  • C++ cin whitespace question

    - by buddyfox
    Programming novice here. I'm trying to allow a user to enter their name, firstName middleName lastName on one line in the console (ex. "John Jane Doe"). I want to make the middleName optional. So if the user enters "John Doe" it only saves the first and last name strings. If the user enters "John Jane Doe" it will save all three. I was going to use this: cin >> firstName >> middleName >> lastName; then I realized that if the user chooses to omit their middle name and enters "John Doe" the console will just wait for the user to enter a third string... I know I could accomplish this with one large string and breaking it up into two or three, but isn't there a simpler way to do it with three strings like above? I feel like I'm missing something simple here... Thanks in advance.

  • using cin and cout in textmate [migrated]

    - by That Guy
    I am usually a Java programmer, and have used textmate for that almost exclusively, but lately I started using C++ with it. but when i use even the most basic programs and incorporate the cin keyword, and run the program, I dont get an oppurtunity to put in anything during runtime and sometimes it inserts random values by itself! for example, if i ran this in textmate: #include <iostream> int stonetolb(int); int main() { using namespace std; int stone; cout << "enter the weight in stone"; cin >> stone; int pounds = stonetolb(stone); cout << stone << "stone = "; cout << pounds <<" pounds."; return 0; } int stonetolb(int sts) { return 14 * sts; } I would come out with the output: enter the weight in stone32767stone = 458738 pounds. Why is this happening, and how do I stop it?

  • C++: Help with cin difference between Linux and Windows

    - by Krashman5k
    I have a Win32 console program that I wrote and it works fine. The program takes input from the user and performs some calculations and displays the output - standard stuff. For fun, I am trying to get the program to work on my Fedora box but I am running into an issue with clearing cin when the user inputs something that does not match my variable type. Here is the code in question: void CParameter::setPrincipal() { double principal = 0.0; cout << endl << "Please enter the loan principal: "; cin >> principal; while(principal <= 0) { if (cin.fail()) { cin.clear(); cin.ignore(INT_MAX, '\n'); } else { cout << endl << "Plese enter a number greater than zero. Please try again." << endl; cin >> principal; } } m_Parameter = principal; } This code works in Windows. For example, if the user tries to enter a char data type (versus double) then the program informs the user of the error, resets cin, and allows the user another opportunity to enter a valid value. When I move this code to Fedora, it compiles fine. When I run the program and enter an invalid data type, the while loop never breaks to allow the user to change the input. My questions are; how do I clear cin when invalid data is inputted in the Fedora environment? Also, how should I write this code so it will work in both environments (Windows & Linux)? Thanks in advance for your help!

  • clearing cin input? cin.ignore not a good way?

    - by igor
    What's a better way to clear cin input? I thought cin.clear and cin.ignore was a good way...? code: void clearInput() { cin.clear(); cin.ignore(1000,'\n'); //cin.ignore( std::numeric_limits<streamsize>::max(), '\n' ); } My teacher gave me this reply... this is basically saying that your clearInput doesn't work FYI: ignore is NEVER a good idea as a way of getting rid of all that remains on a line and your failing this test is exactly the reason why now go clear it the correct way

  • Beginner question about getting reference to cin

    - by John C
    I'm having problems wrapping my head around this. I have a function void foo(istream& input) { input = cin; } This fails (I'm assuming because cin isn't supposed to be "copyable". however, this works void foo(istream& input) { istream& baz = cin; } Is there a reason that I can get a reference to cin in baz but I cannot assign it to input? Thanks

  • Good input validation loop using cin - C++

    - by Alex
    Hi there, I'm in my second OOP class, and my first class was taught in C#, so I'm new to C++ and currently I am practicing input validation using cin. So here's my question: Is this loop I constructed a pretty good way of validating input? Or is there a more common/accepted way of doing it? Thanks! Code: int taxableIncome; int error; // input validation loop do { error = 0; cout << "Please enter in your taxable income: "; cin >> taxableIncome; if (cin.fail()) { cout << "Please enter a valid integer" << endl; error = 1; cin.clear(); cin.ignore(80, '\n'); } }while(error == 1);

  • better understanding of getline() and cin

    - by numerical25
    Trying to get some basic understanding of console functionalities. I am having issues so consider the following... #include "stdafx.h" #include<iostream> #include<conio.h> using namespace std; /* This is a template Project */ void MultiplicationTable(int x); int main() { int value = 0; printf("Please enter any number \n\n"); getline(cin, value); MultiplicationTable(value); getchar(); return 0; } I actually based this off code from http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/basic_io/ . My IDE is not recognizing getline() so of course when I compile the application. I get an error 'getline': identifier not found Now take a look at this code #include "stdafx.h" #include<iostream> #include<conio.h> using namespace std; /* This is a template Project */ void MultiplicationTable(int x); int main() { int value = 0; printf("Please enter any number \n\n"); cin>>value; MultiplicationTable(value); getchar(); return 0; } When I execute this line of code the console window opens and immediately closes. I think I a missing something about cin. I do know that it delimits spaces but I don't know what else. what should I use for input to make my life easier.

  • C++ Regarding cin.ignore()

    - by user1578897
    i would hope someone can modify my code as its so buggy. sometime its work, sometime it dont.. so let me explain more.. Text file data is as below Line3D, [70, -120, -3], [-29, 1, 268] Line3D, [25, -69, -33], [-2, -41, 58] To read the above line.. i use the following char buffer[30]; cout << "Please enter filename: "; cin.ignore(); getline(cin,filename); readFile.open(filename.c_str()); //if successfully open if(readFile.is_open()) { //record counter set to 0 numberOfRecords = 0; while(readFile.good()) { //input stream get line by line readFile.getline(buffer,20,','); if(strstr(buffer,"Point3D")) { Point3D point3d_tmp; readFile>>point3d_tmp; // and so on... Then i did a overload on the ifstream for Line3d ifstream& operator>>(ifstream &input,Line3D &line3d) { int x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2; //get x1 input.ignore(2); input>>x1; //get y1 input.ignore(); input>>y1; //get z1 input.ignore(); input>>z1; //get x2 input.ignore(4); input>>x2; //get y2 input.ignore(); input>>y2; //get z2 input.ignore(); input>>z2; input.ignore(2); Point3D pt1(x1,y1,z1); Point3D pt2(x2,y2,z2); line3d.setPt1(pt1); line3d.setPt2(pt2); line3d.setLength(); } But the issue is the record work sometime and sometime it dont.. what i mean is if at this point //i add a cout cout << x1 << y1 << z1; cout << x2 << y2 << z2; //its works! Point3D pt1(x1,y1,z1); Point3D pt2(x2,y2,z2); line3d.setPt1(pt1); line3d.setPt2(pt2); line3d.setLength(); but if i take away the cout it dont work. how do i change my cin.ignore() so the data can be handle properly , consider number range is -999 to 999
