I have a test coming up next week and the question is like this:
a)Write a program to display the following two prompts:
i)Enter a month (use a1 for Jan, etc)
ii)Enter a day of the month

Have your program accept and store a number in the variable month in response to the first prompy, and accept and store a number in the variable day in response to the second prompt. If the month entered is not between 1 and 12 inclusive, print a message informing the user that an invalid month has been entered. If the day entered is not between 1 and 31, print a message informing the user that an invalid day has been entered.

This is my first exam i'm starting in sem1 currently. I'm really lost any code snippets will be much apprecited or a plain explanation on starting is ok. I dont expect the whole answer

Do u have visual studio? (2000 or better)
Because theres ready tools for that sort of thing, or is it cheating ?

[Dax]

1. What lang should this be written in?
2. Is this to be handed in or written under test conditions?
3. How much will you pay?

Naw just fucking around with the 3rd question haha. 1st semester I'm guessing Java for some friendly OO.

[tester]

C java or VB

its just the basic if clauses, u should rly try those lol if u dont know those ur fked xD


Cheers Tester

<?

if(isset($submit)){
if ($_POST['month'] =< 12 && $_POST['month'] => 1){
$month = $_POST['month'];
}else{
echo 'Invalid Month';
}

if ($_POST['day'] =< 12 && $_POST['day'] => 1){
$month = $_POST['day'];
}else{
echo 'Invalid day';
}
}

?>
<form method="post" action="index.php">
Month<textarea rows="1" cols="2" wrap="physcial" name="month"><br>
Day<textarea rows="1" cols="2" wrap="physcial" name="day">

there php script im drunk enjoy

it must be written in c++ cin cout bla bla bla..helpp

[Charles]

it must be written in c++ cin cout bla bla bla..helpp

so you want it to tell you what month/day you entered? like if you enter 1 then hit enter it tells you January for the month etc? just making sure lol

[Dax]

You didn't specify much so i just basically copied charlie's in C++ using cin/cout.

If you keep entering invalid numbers then the input will loop untill you enter the correct value. Just dont enter characters as input coz i don't remember how to quick fix that on consoles lol. Jimmy will probably know how if he browses this topic.

Code: Select all

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
	int iMonth, iDay;
	cout << "Input the Month: ";
	cin >> iMonth;
	while(iMonth < 1 || iMonth > 12)
	{
  cout << "Invalid input! The Month must be between 1~12\n";
  cout << "Input the Month: ";
  cin >> iMonth;
	}
	cout << "Input the Day: ";
	cin >> iDay;
	while(iDay < 1 || iDay > 31)
	{
  cout << "Invalid input! The Day must be between 1~31\n";
  cout << "Input the Day: ";
  cin >> iDay;
	}
	system("PAUSE");
	return 0;
}

Heck i don't even know what the teacher wants. I'll go get an explanation but guys i haven't learn to use the command while or system("PAUSE") or <cstdlib> so far its <iostream> and <cmath> and the commands to use is cout cin if else if and stuff like that

Opps double post shit..

While is just a loop. The condition is the same as an if statement, it's selectional can be either true or false.

while(condition == true) <----
{
    ... // contents
}

If its true then the contents of the loop is ran(like an if statement). Here where it changes, when the loop finishes it goes back to the top and checks the condition again. See what i mean by loop? And also how it's a while? When it gets to checking the condition again if it's false the loop will be skipped(like an if statement). Any tutorial on the net will teach you this in more detail within 5~10min. Take a look at this in the actual code and you should see how it works though.

About cstdlib and system("pause"), all they are used for is to pause the console. Remove them both and put another "cin" in the place of system("pause"). Just make it anything it's only there to hault the program for user input before it returns 0 (aka exits). If i was your teacher i think based on your experience i'd pass that.

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int iMonth, January;
January = 1;

cout << "Enter the Month: ";
cin >> iMonth;
if (iMonth < 1 || iMonth > 12)
cout << "The month has the be between 1~12!\n";
cout << "Enter the Month: ";
cin >> iMonth;
system ("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

How come when i do this it wont keep repeating to enter a number between 1~12 instead just close?
Anyway how can i make it say You've enter January if i enter 1

Because you're not using the while loop anymore. That loop checked if the input was bad and would continue looping intill the user enters valid numbers. Your code there just checks it once.

how can i make it say You've enter January if i enter 1

Cheap but it works lol.

  cout << "Input the Month: ";
  cin >> iMonth;
	}

	cout << "Input the Day: ";
	cin >> iDay;
	while(iDay < 1 || iDay > 31)
	{
  cout << "Invalid input! The Day must be between 1~31" << endl;
  cout << "Input the Day: ";
