Thread: Need help with functions

Hello I am trying to learn C++ on my own and I have a program that I am trying to convert to using all functions instead of objects. I know your asking why I would want to do that. Well I kind of understand objects and classes. I just don't fully understand how to pass values to functions. Anyway here is the program and if you can help me out in anyway please let me know.


//Program: Draws square based on turtle graphis logo. This particular program draws a square
#include<iostream>
using std::cin;
using std::cout;
using std::endl;


int main()
{
//Declare variables
char SetTile;
char TurtleTile;
char Display;
char TurtleLine;
int xpos;
int ypos;
int direction; //1 up,2 is right, 3 is down, 4 is left
bool PenState; //false is pen up and true is pen down

int input=99,spaces=0; //null values
char world[20][20];
turtle my_turtle;

int commands[15]={2,5,12,3,5,12,3,5,12,3,5,12,1,6,9};
my_turtle.initialize(world);

for(int k=0;k<15;k++)
{

input=commands[k];

switch (input) //draws square
{
case 1: PenUp();break;
case 2: PenDown();break;
case 3: turn(input);break;
case 4: k++; spaces=commands[k];
case 5: move(spaces,world);break;
case 6: print(world);break;
case 9: return 0;break;
}
}
return 0;
}

void MoveOne(char world[20][20])
{
if(PenState==true)
world[ypos][xpos]=TurtleLine;
else
world[ypos][xpos]=SetTile;

switch (direction)
{
case 2: if(xpos+1!=20-1) //checks for edge of wall and moves right
xpos+=1;
break;
case 4: if(xpos-1!=0) //moves left
xpos-=1;
break;

case 3: if(ypos+1!=20-1) //moves down
ypos+=1;
break;

case 1: if(ypos-1!=0) //moves up

}

Code:

int commands[15]={2,5,12,3,5,12,3,5,12,3,5,12,1,6,9}; 
my_turtle.initialize(world); 

for(int k=0;k<15;k++) 
{ 

input=commands[k]; 

switch (input) //draws square 
{ 
case 1: PenUp();break; 
case 2: PenDown();break; 
case 3: turn(input);break; 
case 4: k++; spaces=commands[k]; 
case 5: move(spaces,world);break; 
case 6: print(world);break; 
case 9: return 0;break; 
} 
}

What is your switch supposed to do when you assign 12 as a value in the switch?

Also, when you attempt to modify values in your functions, the variables go out of scope. So, you are going to need to do a little changing.
