Can someone sample this?
Author
I''m new to C++ and I''m writing small little programs to get better. This one calculates someones age.
#include
int main()
{
cout << "\n*****WARNING***** Please Enter Only Numbers *****WARNING*****\n";
begin: cout << "\nWhat year is it?";
int WhatYear;
//A big occurs in each of these statements. If a non-numerical character is enetered,
// the program will loop until it is manually shut down. Poo
cin >> WhatYear;
cout <<"\nHow old are you?";
int YourAge;
cin >> YourAge;
cout << "\nIn what year do you wish to know your age?";
int NextYear;
cin >> NextYear;
if (NextYear < WhatYear)
{
cout << "\nPlease Enter a year past the current year";
cout << "\n";
goto begin ;
}
else;
int NextAge;
NextAge= (NextYear-WhatYear)+YourAge;
cout << "\nIn " << NextYear << " you will be " << NextAge << "\n";
int end;
cout << "\nDo you want to find another age? Hit 1 to continue or 2 to stop: ";
cin >> end;
if (end==1)
{
cout << "\n";
goto begin;
}
else;
return 0;
}
Can someone tell me if this is good? Also, there is a bug in it. If you enter a non-numerical character, it loops indefinently. Can this be fixed? Thanks.
Just my 2 cents.. oh damn! I was gonna spend it on something...
try this:
After you input it, call the _itoa command, it converts an int to a string. Like this:
int YourAge;
char junkstr[10];
bool isOK = false;
while(!isOK)
{
cout <<"\nHow old are you?";
cin >> YourAge;
_itoa(YourAge, junkstr, 10);
if (junkstr[0] >= ''0'' && junkstr[0] <= ''9'') //it is a #
isOK = true;
}
I just made this up, I''m pretty sure it''ll work tho.
