Re: Structure Help

Hey guys, I got this program assignment in class and I'm not sure how to start it. It needs to prompt the user to input a number and then checks each digit of the number to see whether it is a valid integer (ie. Characters are invalid). If it's not a number, it asks the user to enter another number, if it is a valid number, it outputs the number to the screen.
Now if anyone could help with with just the different functions and such I might use, that would be of great help. Below is what I've got so far.

bool validString;
string number;
cout << "Please enter an integer: ";
cin >> number;

validString = digitCheck(number, validString);
output;

return 0;
}

//-----[ fUNCTION dEFINITIONS ]-----------------------------------------------------------

bool digitCheck(string num, bool vS)
{
for (count = 0; count <= 10; count++)
{
char currentChar = num[count];

vS = true;
return vS;

bool invalidChar(bool vS_)
{

return vS_;

void invalidOutput()

very nice function...:

int isdigit(num);

or if you want to write your own

Code:

---

bool IsDigit(char c)
{
  return(c >= 0x30 && c <= 0x39);
}

if(IsDigit(num[i]) || (i == 0 && num[0] == '-'))
{
  // valid number
}

hope this helps
U.

Code:

---

using System;

class Cpp
{
        public static void Main()
        {
                int number;

                Console.Write("Enter a number: ");
                try
                {
                        number = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
                        Console.Write("You entered: " + number);
                }       
                catch
                {
                        Console.WriteLine("Bad data exception.");
                }

        }
}
