I am using a switch case statement in C to detect what the user presses at the keyboard. I've got it to work with everything except the arrow keys and the number-pad because I don't know their ASCII codes (if any). Here is an example
what would I put into "blah"Code:#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
void main()
{
char key;
key=toupper(getch());
switch(key)
{
case 32:
printf("You hit the spacebar!");
getchar();
break;
}
}
case "blah":
for arrow keys?
Did you look at the FAQ? I bet you didn't.
Quzah.
Boy you and others on this site are a real pain in the arse. If you don't have something helpful to say don't say it.
WRONG-Did you look at the FAQ? I bet you didn't.
RIGHT-Try looking at the FAQ board under "Directional Keys - Useing in Console"
In blah you can use these codes-
75--Left
77--Right
72--Up
80--Down
And not listed in that thread is this
71--Up Left
73--Up Right
79--Down Left
81--Down Right
VOX.
What are you talking about? Try using complete sentences for once. Let's dissect this thread, shall we?
Here you say you don't know their ascii codes. You don't say you've looked at the FAQ. You don't say you've done a forum search. You don't say you've done a google search. All you say is you don't know them.Quote:

To which I reply:
Why on earth would I assume that? Oh, how about because NO ONE reads the FAQ. Since you didn't say anything about the FAQ being wrong, as you say it is, one can assume safely that you didn't read it.Quote:

Because at the time, if you had read it, you would have told us it was wrong. Wouldn't you?
No. Of course you wouldn't. Because you, like everyone else, expect us to be I am sillyI am sillyI am sillyI am sillyING PSYCHIC and to know what you've tried already.
Enjoy your candy.

Thank youQuote:

Quzah, I never said anything about the FAQ being wrong. If you had read my reply at all you would have figured out that I had read it to get the info I posted.

Tells you that you should be a little more helpful, as it will make people like you better in the long run. Plus most of that thread was in C++ anyway.
Let's compare your helpful reply to your "prove me wrong" reply. Hmm, 2 sentences compared to 16 and 2 quotes. Boy that first reply took, what, 10 seconds or less to make? And the second, 10 minutes? Maybe if you spent as much time helping out as you do proving me wrong, everyone would benefit more.
We're volunteers. We take time out of busy lives to answer questions, and at times we're overwhelmed with them. So we filter ruthlessly. In particular, we throw away questions from people who appear to be losers in order to spend our question-answering time more efficiently, on winners.
If you find this attitude obnoxious, condescending, or arrogant, check your assumptions. We're not asking you to genuflect to us — in fact, most of us would love nothing more than to deal with you as an equal and welcome you into our culture, if you put in the effort required to make that possible. But it's simply not efficient for us to try to help people who are not willing to help themselves.
If you decide to come to us for help, you don't want to be one of the losers. You don't want to seem like one, either. The best way to get a rapid and responsive answer is to ask it like a person with smarts, confidence, and clues who just happens to need help on one particular problem.
It isn't useful to insist you've been personally insulted when someone comments that one of your claims was wrong, or that his views differ. Those are loser attitudes. Remember: When a member tells you that you've screwed up, he's acting out of concern for (1) you and (2) the community.
If you can't manage to be grateful, at least have a little dignity, don't whine, and don't expect to be treated like a fragile doll just because you're a newcomer with a theatrically hypersensitive soul and delusions of entitlement. Complaining is the way to really screw up.

Yeah, I read your reply and didn't know what the I am sillyI am sillyI am sillyI am silly you were trying to say. What does "RIGHT-Try looking at the FAQ board under..." mean?Quote:

Quzah.
Whatever. Let's just drop this. I have the info, whether I got it from you or not isn't relevant. Both of our views on who is right or wrong are pointless. Although not everything has to be in complete sentences for someone to understand it. That's for english teachers.
Stack Overflow, I now see your point.
On this forum ALL questions should be in the form of complete sentances. Its not for english teachers, its for aid in communications.
