Thread: How to create On/OFF button wth C programming?

O – On / Off button
By default the button is in Off state. When, in this state, and the O button is selected, the machine is in On state. When in On state, and the O button is selected, it is changed to the Off state and all entries prior to this are reset to original state.

Main Menu
Once the machine is turned On (using the On / Off button) the user will have the option of deciding whether to Wash Clothes (W) or View Log (V).
Wash Clothes
Once this option is selected, the Load Capacity Menu appears.
View Log
When this option is selected, the user would be able to view the washing machine operation logs according to the dates.

Load Capacity Menu
Here the user will need to select the size of the load from the Load Capacity Menu, which could include any one of the following options:
S – Small
M – Medium
L – Large
X – Extra Large
F – Free Load
If the user is not sure on which size to select (s)he has the option to choose F (Free Load). This means that the user would depend on the machine to determine the Load Capacity based on the weight of the clothes. The weight of the clothes can be a random generated value but its value has to be a logical weight for clothes put into a washing machine. When the weight is determined then the Load Capacity is set automatically to Small, Medium, Large or Extra Large. Note that there should be a minimum and maximum value for each Load Capacity type. E.g. Small should between 1 – 2 kg, etc.

Wash Menu
When the size of the load has been determined, the Wash Menu is activated. The user now gets to select from one of the following Wash Menu options:
F – Full Wash
W – Wash
R – Rinse
S – Spin

Full Wash
A Full Wash would consist of Washing, Rinsing and Spinning but may include Soak depending on the selection made in the Soak Menu which appears when the Full Wash is activated. In the Soak Menu the user has the option to select from the following:
N – No soaking
S – Soak
When the user selects N, the program will proceed to the next menu option – Temperature Menu. If the selects S, the system will prompt the user for the number of minutes to soak. The user can key in any value between 1 – 60 minutes. After the number of minutes is determined the program will proceed to the next menu option – Temperature Menu.

Wash
The Wash would consist of only Washing – without rinsing or spinning. However, it may include Soak depending on the selection made by the user from the Soak Menu which appears when the Wash is activated. The description of the Soak Menu is as listed above.

Rinse
The Rinse would consist of only Rinsing – without washing, spinning or soaking. The user would not have the option of selecting the temperature as well.

Spin
The Spin would consist of only spinning – without washing, rinsing or soaking. The user would not have the option of selecting the temperature as well.

Temperature Menu
This menu is activated only after either the Full Wash or the Wash option has been selected. The Temperature Menu contains the following option:
H – Hot
C – Cold
If the user selects H, hot water will be used for all operations – from soaking to rinsing.
Or else cold water will be used.

How to.......... On/Off.......?

Code:

enum button{on,off}your_button;

The rest is up to you.

This sounds suspiciously like homework...

Homework Policy <-- yes that's a link... click on it.

Show some initiative ... get started on this yourself.

1) Analyse the problem you have, think about it until you understand what is required of your code...
2) Once you know what the problem is, write a plan --yes with pencil and paper-- that solves the problem
3) Write code that enacts your plan...
4) Test your code...

If you get stuck --really stuck, not lazy stuck-- post your code and we'll see what we can do.

We do not write code for you...

thanks, I need just to know how to make on/off that's all, I'll try.

No no you guys got me wrong, actually the question is about ON/Off, the rest I'll try by myself. This coding i have beed taught at Univercity, first level, I have just written the others to be perceptively to you.

We still don't hand out code...

Make the attempt on your own, post the problem code...

I will give you one hint... You will need an equals sign, a question mark and a colon.

This is a program for which a state machine type of design makes sense.

How to you use enum button on/off. I am so freaking dummy in this programming.

Oh for crying out loud...

Code:

int IsOn = 0;  // initialize to off

// a loop to demonstrate
for (int x = 0; x < 10; x++)
  {
     // toggle on and off
     IsOn = IsOn ? 0 : 1;

     If (IsOn) 
       printf("It's turned on!");
    else 
      printf("It's not turned on");

     }

Ok... get it now?

It sounds like he wants to do a lot of independent activities. My understanding is that object oriented is more appropriate because you can run different parts of the program independently without having to start at the top of the program and flow through sequentially. I do programming in Gambas and Visual Basic so button to me means a special section of the program. Maybe, I dont quite understand the problem, dunno.
