Thread: A few programs in C

You all helped me write these so, here they are:

Code:

// ASCII Converter
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

main()
{
  char c, i = 'y';
  
  while(i != 'n')
  {
      printf("\nEnter symbols (chars or nums):  ");
      scanf("%c", &c);
      fflush(stdin);
      printf("\nThe ASCII code for %c is %d.\n", c, c);
      printf("\nConvert another symbol? yes or no:  ");
      scanf("%c", &i);
      fflush(stdin);
//    system("cls");
 }
  
  return 0;
}

Code:

/*
** Creates a harmless Message Window 
** scares the willies outa the user...
**
** written in C++ for win32
*/

#include <windows.h>

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
   int i = 0;
   
   while(i == 0)
   {
      if(MessageBox
         (NULL,
         "Format Drive C:?",
         "Format",
         MB_YESNO | MB_ICONINFORMATION)
         != IDYES)
      (MessageBox
         (NULL,
         "Warning: All data on non-removable\n         disk drive C: will be lost!\n\nContinue with format?",
         "Format",
         MB_YESNO | MB_ICONINFORMATION)
         != IDYES);
      MessageBox
         (NULL,
         "Format: Checking existing disk format.",
         "Format", 0);
      MessageBox
         (NULL,
         "Format: Formatting drive C:",
         "Format", 0);
      if(MessageBox
         (NULL,
         "Format another disk?",
         "Format",
         MB_YESNO | MB_ICONINFORMATION)
         != IDYES)
         i = 1;
   }
   return 0;
}

Code:

// Empties Recycle Bin
#include <windows.h>
#include <shlobj.h>
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN

int WINAPI WinMain (HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
PSTR szCmdLine, int iCmdShow)
{

//if(MessageBox(NULL, "Press ok to empty the Recycle Bin.", "recycler", MB_YESNO | MB_ICONINFORMATION) != IDYES)
//return FALSE;

SHEmptyRecycleBin(NULL, "", 0);

return FALSE ;
}

Code:

// Numbers Game
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>

void Start(int);
int GetResults(int, int, int, int, char);

int main()

    printf("              You get 5 lives.\n\n");
    printf("Jackpot will tell you if the number is too big\n");
    printf("  or too small compared to the secret number.\n\n");

void Start(int life)
{
    int  guess = 0, low = 0, high = 30, secret = 0, j = 0, k = 0;
    char c = '1';
    
    while(c)

        system("cls");
        printf("Select difficulty mode:\n\n");

        scanf("%c",&c);
        fflush(stdin);
        system("cls");
        if (c != '0');
        {
            switch (c)
            {

                break;

                return;
                break;
            }
        }
        srand(time(0));            // init Rand() function
        secret = rand() % high;    // secret = a random value between 0 and high
        GetResults(life, low, high, secret, c);
    }
}

int GetResults (int life, int low, int high, int secret, char c)
{
    int guess = 0, k = 0;
    
    while(k == 0)
    {
        printf("\nThe number is between %d and %d\n", low, high);
        printf("Number of remaining life: %d\n", life);
        printf("\nType a number: ");

        {

            printf("\n\nYou lose!\n\n");
            system("pause");
            return life;
        }
        
        if (guess == secret) // player found the secret number
        {
            system("cls");
            printf("\n\nYOU WIN !\n\n");
            system("pause");
            return life;
        }
        
        if ((guess > high) || (guess < low)) // 0 > guess > high - restart
        {
            system("cls");
            printf("\n\nError : Number not between %d and %d\n", low, high);
        }
        
        else
        {
            system("cls");
            life = life - 1;
            if (guess > secret)
            {
                high = guess;
            }
            
            if (guess < secret)
            {
                low = guess;
            }
        }
    }
}

Code:

/* Renews IP Address w/o mucking about in command prompt */

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
   /* TODO (#1#): supress command and activate messagebox */
   system("ipconfig /release_all");
   system("ipconfig /renew_all");
//   system("ipconfig /batch RenewIP.dat");

   system("pause");
   
//   MessageBox (NULL, "Your IP Has Been Renewed" , "Renew IP", 0);
   return 0;
}

Hope they help someone...particularly the new programmers.
These were all projects I used to learn C...Good luck.
