Programming with LINES and Printing

[ynotmi]

I am a 66 year old guy who wanted to Buy an APP only to find out they cost between $5000 to $8000 bucks! CRAZY huh (btw: I'm giving it away)

anyway I understand I can do the same thing as a C++ program, so I took on the task of learning to program C++
after 4 weeks (I don't work remember)

I finished the basic program language BUT I haven't figured out how to PUT in individual blank LINES, or Lines with a Statement or a few lines
and then I want to separate the TOP DATA from the Bottom data ....& print it all out
++++++++++++++++++++++

do I use cout << "this is a line;"; ???
then I want to Skip a line or 2 maybe 3

And next I need to Print my data
can't I just say lprint data1; lprint data2; lprint data3; //I know lprint isn't the right code... it use to be for basic... ( i think you are laughing, I a beginner hahhah)

maybe it's lprint << The Corner value is; corners;

Hey Tony,

Sounds like you have made some good headway.

A few things I would like to know about your code so that I can help you write the code to do whatever it may be that you want to do.

When you press reply on the bottom, the edit box will pop up. On the right of the text box there is a label "Format:". Under it are 12 buttons, If you could press that button and put in your code between the two code tags, this way I can look at your code and tell you where you can fix things or help you put new functions in.

A Few Questions:

1.) What is the purpose of your code? (i.e. what do you want it to be able to do?)

2.) I am assuming you are running the code through the command console. If you don't want to show me the code, that's fine. But could you try explaining what kind of input you would use and what your expected output should be?

I'll be able to help you out much more efficiently once I know exactly what it is you are stuck on.

You want to build an app that costs $5000-$8000, and you are asking how to print out lines? Hmm.

You want to print out blank lines?

std::cout << std::endl;

Do that however many times you want a blank line.

smax89! The APP is suppose to cost between 5000 & 8000 ! I never wrote an app and I ain't paying anybody 5000 grand.

Yes... with nothing else doing-- I guess I have progress alittle. I have a website called CirculatedCurrency.com . I love collecting USA Money! (who wouldn't haha) Now for 20 years I have watched people pay Grading companies rip people off.... The Grading companies charge crazy amounts of CASH to grade a USA Note. Then someone gets the bright idea to remove the note from the holder and send the same serial numbered note to another grading company. They use a scale from 1 to 70
======
I have PROOF! stolencurrency.com (regrading)
===============
SO what I did is create a NEW grading SYSTEM for Circulated Currency... on a scale from 0 to 100 .. people get to grade their own notes. I LET PEOPLE DOWNLOAD THIS FREE (crazy huh)

My brother says make an app! Get me where I'm going? (he uses an iphone)

I'm giving this out free.... I wanted to PRINT the OBVERSE and REVERSE data to a PRINTER
can not figure this out!???
I also was trying to add a LINE with Nothing on it except a LINE???

"and for this version" this REVERSE condition keeps adding up to 101 and I can't figure out how to fix that! ???
===========
I'm not a programmer, I'm a retired Mechanical Engineer and I figured getting this far was ok hahhahah it's not that complicated and I would improve it as I go!

and to make an APP is crazy!
There is more info on my web page

http://www.circulatedcurrency.com/free/1/index.html

any help would be greatly appreciated

Smac89 Thank YOU thank you! thank you!

It took me acouple times to read this std::cout << std::endl; then I realized,
OH MY GOSH that's how to put in LINES! (maybe someone could change the colors such that answers stick out)

It really works!
COOL

now!
Problem 1 -- is there anyway to change the background to white and the letters to BLACK
I print the answer out and it fits in a LARGE holder.... but I'm afraid I will kill a printer cartridge!
hahhah

OH HOW did I print that! USING SNIPPING software! I highlighted and printed it
then I cut out the DATA
cool huh!

NOW! How do I change this to a WINDOWS (not dos) Program???? I told u I was learning hahhaha
Tony

[kunz]

yes there is a way to change color just add this command
system ("color xy");

x-is the background
y-is the text color

these are the color codes


0 = Black 8 = Gray
1 = Blue 9 = Light Blue
2 = Green A = Light Green
3 = Aqua B = Light Aqua
4 = Red C = Light Red
5 = Purple D = Light Purple
6 = Yellow E = Light Yellow
7 = White F = Bright White

so just replace the numbers and letters with x and y

hope this is what you asked.

 An one can grade a USA Currency all you have to do is Practice.
 The attributes are very similar to the Grading Companies. The exception this FREE system uses a Scale from 1 to 100
 Please only enter the values that are indicated or there will be an error.

 As time goes on, I will improve it but right now it's pretty RAW

Check this out! (hopefully I did that correctly)
-------------
Thank you guys again! and save star NOTES!
--------------------

btw:
1. Problem: when I run the program as an EXE it doesn't stop... do I have the right exit code? or do I have to STOP it ???

2. Problem: Is there any way to make this run in windows by itself NOT a Command window?

3. Problem: I notice something with all this editing? How do I save a New Project Number and still keep the software in the same folder? Every time I change the name of the project it doesn't change it, in the program? weird? or what?
( I will figure this out-- I'm using DEV-C++ 5.10)

[kunz]

add this code before

.
.
system ("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

The .exe should stop now

[kunz]

your program is lacking validation
further explanation
when your exe asks

Are you looking at the OBVERSE side of a note: 0=yes  

what if the user enters "any thing else apart from "0"
you have to tell the user that it is an incorrect option

i hope you are understanding what i am saying

[ynotmi]

KUNZ
Absolutely! BUT I have been working on just getting the program to work! hahhah
You guys have been great! thank u thank you thank u!
===============
1. Lets assume I get the Validation in the program. for the guy who enters a letter or a character! and when I get a 6 or 7 when the max is 5! duh!

2. is there any way I can keep the program secure without anybody putting a virus in it? Most systems will not allow .exe files to be transferred... So I'll have to ZIP it!

3. When the program prints out I then use SNIPING software (free frm microsoft) highlite the data and print that from the snipping program. I wonderif I can make the FONT alittle smaller I'll have to look up System ("font 10"); or system ("font 8"); (I'm learning)

thank again
