I cannot set my program to display the output i want

[duckii]

This is going to be a wall of text.
I have 2 questions to ask
1) There's an error with my output and I tried to redo it a couple of times. I think it has got something to do with pointers but i'm not too good in that. But i'm not sure if that's the solution.

2)I wish to include sounds like the window logon sound instead of beeps, do you think it's possible to do that? If yes, can you explain or give some hints to what I should search for?

Thanks in advance. This is my code. I am uising Microsoft Visual Studio to do my C++.

Argh. Please use some indentation and line spacing and I'll take a look at it.

In Windows, you can use the PlaySound() function for sound effects. Here's an example where I play the standard "chimes.wav" in your Windows Media folder.

#pragma comment( lib, "winmm.lib" )

#include <iostream>
#include <limits>

#include <windows.h>

int main()
  {
  using namespace std;

  cout << "Press ENTER to hear a chime> ";
  cin.ignore( numeric_limits <streamsize> ::max(), '\n' );

  TCHAR filename[ MAX_PATH ];
  GetWindowsDirectory( filename, MAX_PATH );
  lstrcat( filename, TEXT( "\\Media\\chimes.wav" ) );

  PlaySound( filename, NULL, SND_FILENAME );

  cout << "Press ENTER to quit";
  cin.ignore( numeric_limits <streamsize> ::max(), '\n' );

  return 0;
  }

You must link with winmm. I used the GCC:
g++ -Wall -pedantic a.cpp -lwinmm
but the above code has the VC++ #pragma.

Hey Duoas,
Thank you for solving question 2). I'm playing around with it now.

I've had trouble maintaining the word count with all the spaces, which was why i didnt leave any space.

void getTotal(int amount)
{ 
       Total=(day*amount)+others+med;
}
void showTotal()
{	
       cout<<"\n\n\nThe total payment is $ "<<Total<<endl;
}

The code was in the same class which was class Fee and i think it is unable to pass the value of Total from one function to another.

[firedraco]

Yeah, since your variables are only changed inside the function, and you are not passing them via refrence, you are going to probably want to do something like this:

int getTotal(int amount)
{ 
       return (day*amount)+others+med;
}
void showTotal(int total)
{	
       cout<<"\n\n\nThe total payment is $ "<<total<<endl;
}

Then you can just do (wherever you want to show the total):

showTotal(getTotal(amount));

To pass by reference you would do:

void getTotal(int amount, int &total)
{ 
       total=(day*amount)+others+med;
}

You would still need to pass the value to showTotal(), however passing by reference will allow you to edit the variable once and not have to keep calling getTotal() everytime you want to get the value of total.

[duckii]

Hey firedraco, thanks for your reply, however after changing, it gives me some errors.

I've changed

int getTotal(int amount)
{ 
       return (day*amount)+others+med;
}
void showTotal(int total)
{	
       cout<<"\n\n\nThe total payment is $ "<<total<<endl;
}

and i tried to call out
showTotal(getTotal(amount));

in the main function with my class object in the front so it looks like
money1.showTotal(getTotal(amount));

it gives me 2 errors.
1) error C2065: 'amount': undeclared identifier
2) error C3861: 'getTotal': identifier not found

so i tried
money1.showTotal(Fee::getTotal(amount));

1) error C2065: 'amount': undeclared identifier
(and after adding int amount (which is obviously wrong) ) I got this error,
2)error C2352: 'Fee::getTotal': illegal call of non-static member function

[Duthomhas]

From your last post only, it looks like you are trying to use 1) a variable that doesn't exist, and 2) a member function without an object.

int an_amount = 42;

money1.showTotal( money1.getTotal( an_amount ) );

Hope this helps.

[duckii]

Hey Duoas, thanks for clearing my errors again. I figured out the problem was from the an_amount. There wasn't any other errors after i declare an_amount and passing the variable to the function money1.getTotal but the output was different.

After some thinking I figured out that all I have to do was to pass the value of price over!

Thanks alot Duoas and all those that tried to help, it's a project for me and i'm trying to perfect it to get the best grades.

That's all for now, but i might want to add in new stuff to make it look better. I realise the <windows.h> is a very good header and could access things like playsound is there any other fun stuff that I should know before i submit my project? :D

[Duthomhas]

You can do all sorts of weird and amazing things with <windows.h>. (I am presuming that your prof will be compiling all this on Windows.)

Hmm... here are a few interesting things I can think of (stuff people tend to want to do):

Clear the screen http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/beginner/1988/page3.html#msg10830

Press any key to continue... http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/beginner/1988/page3.html#msg14102
(See the last part of the code I posted.)

In the same vein: Unbuffered Input http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/beginner/3329/

Get Mouse and Window Events (and unbuffered input)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms686033(VS.85).aspx

Set the Console Title SetConsoleTitle( (LPCTSTR) text.c_str() ); Where 'text' is a std::string. You can also just give a char* directly.

Use Pop-up Windows Dialogues http://www.flounder.com/consoledialogs.htm
Any unique string will do for all that GUID stuff.
If you have Windows kernel 5.00 or later (you do if you have XP) you
can use GetConsoleWindow() instead of that FindConsoleHandle().

#if (_WIN32_WINNT < 0x0500)
  #undef  _WIN32_WINNT
  #define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500
#endif
#include <windows.h>
...
HWND console_window = GetConsoleWindow();

Other Win32 Console Functions Reference
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682073(VS.85).aspx

And, if you are in to really weird stuff

Plot a Sinewave to the Console (or other graphics)
http://www.daniweb.com/code/snippet217.html

Put a Bitmap Image on your Console (a similar trick by the same guy)
http://www.daniweb.com/code/snippet174.html

Hmm... I can't think of anything else right now...

[edit] I have also found it a good idea to provide a makefile with assignments so the prof doesn't have to do anything special himself. Especially if you link with things like gdi32, etc. Remember, don't over-do anything. The prof should be pleasantly surprised by a couple of nice bells and whistles, but he shouldn't think that you have written a different application than the simple one he asked for.

Good luck!
