Thread: verify input

Prelude has written a validate function, do a board search to find it.

> How would I verify a users input?
There are several, several ways.

> Like say the had to enter a number, and they entered a character, how would you check that?
One of the many ways, and easiest to catch on to:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

int menu(void);

int main(void)
{
	char choice;
	while(menu() == 0)
	{
		choice=getch();
		switch(choice)
		{
			case '1':
			printf("\n\nThe user entered the number 1");
			printf("\n\nPress any key..");
			getch();
			break;

			case 'b':
			printf("\n\nThe user entered the letter b.");
			printf("\n\nPRess any key..");
			getch();
			break;
			
			case 27:
			printf("\n\nClosing..");
			return 0;
			break;
			
			default:
			printf("\n\nThe user entered an invalid selection");
			break;
		}
	}
	return 0;
}

int menu(void)
{
	printf("\n\n1.  Print message for character confirmation\n");
	printf("B.  Print message for character confirmation\n");
	printf("Anything else - default message\n\n");
	printf("Escape exits");
	return 0;
}
