Birthstones, Months, Strings and Functions!
Alright, I'm working on this program in C++ condole that will pretty much Greet you, ask some birthday questions and display information... Good thing is. I got it working, But then I re-read the instructions and I was suppose to use a function to get the Month and Birthstone...
Sorry if my Pseudocode is crap
(long)
As you can see, it works. at least as far as i got. Birthstones and all with a endless menu loop unless 9, makes return 0 and ends the program.Code:#include "stdafx.h" #include <iostream> //Includes standard input-output library #include <string> //Allows use of String #include <cstdio> //Used for getchar using std::cin; //Standard output stream using std::cout; //Standard output stream using std::endl; //End line command using namespace std; //Uses namespace Std int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) //Start Program execution { string name; //Uses name as a String int choice; //Choice for the Menu int month,day; //Day and month of birth string months;//Name of months string stone; //Name of birthstones int key; //A Wildcard for While loop cout<<"Soo... what's your name?"<<endl; cin>>name; cout<<endl<<"What day(1-31) were you born?"; cin>>day; cout<<endl<<"Which month(1-12) is that?"; cin>>month; switch(month) { case 1: months="January"; stone="Granet"; break; case 2: months="Febuary"; stone="Amethyst"; break; case 3: months="March"; stone="Aquamarine"; break; case 4: months="Apirl"; stone="Diamond"; break; case 5: months="May"; stone="Emerald"; break; case 6: months="June"; stone="Pearl"; break; case 7: months="July"; stone="Ruby"; break; case 8: months="Augest"; stone="Peridot"; break; case 9: months="September"; stone="Sapphire"; break; case 10: months="October"; stone="Opal"; break; case 11: months="November"; stone="Topaz"; break; case 12: months="December"; stone="Turquoise"; break; } cout<<"Thank you."<<endl<<endl; while(key) { cout<<"____________________________________"<<endl;//Displays the Diamond Header cout<<"|* * * * *|"<<endl;//^^ cout<<"| ** *** *** *** ** |"<<endl;//^^ cout<<"| *** ***** ***** ***** *** |"<<endl;//^^ cout<<"| ** *** *** *** ** |"<<endl;//^^ cout<<"| * * * * * |"<<endl;//^^ cout<<"------------------------------------"<<endl;//^^ cout<<" Welcome "<< name << "!" <<endl;//Welcome User cout<<" Born: "<<months<<" - "<<day<<endl;// Displays Birthday Info cout<<"____________________________________"<<endl;//^^ cout<<"| (1)Birthstone |"<<endl;//Displays Menu cout<<"| (2)Astrological |"<<endl;//^^ cout<<"| (3)Season |"<<endl;//^^ cout<<"| (9)Exit |"<<endl;//^^ cout<<"|__________________________________|"<<endl;//Displays the Diamond Footer cout<<"| * * * * * |"<<endl;//^^ cout<<"| ** *** *** *** ** |"<<endl;//^^ cout<<"| *** ***** ***** ***** *** |"<<endl;//^^ cout<<"| ** *** *** *** ** |"<<endl;//^^ cout<<"|* * * * *|"<<endl;//^^ cout<<"------------------------------------"<<endl;//^^ cout<<"Select Number catagory you wish to view."<<endl;//Prompts User cin>>choice; //User's input switch(choice)//Chooses Menu Options { case 1: //If Option 2 cout<<"_____________"<<endl;//Display cout<<"|Brithstone!|"<<endl;//^^ cout<<"-------------"<<endl;//^^ cout<<"Ok, let's see... You were born on "<<months<<endl;//Displays Text & Month cout<<"So that means your birthstone is "<<stone<<endl;//Displays Text & Stone break; case 2: //Option 2 cout<<"Not Avaiable"<<endl<<endl;//Display break; case 3: // Option 3 cout<<"Not Avaiable"<<endl<<endl; break; case 9: // Option 9 cout<<"Exit"<<endl<<endl; return 0; //Ends Program break; default: // If no other option is made cout<<"Please choose options 1-3 or 9 to Exit"<<endl<<endl;; break; } } }
I somehow have to convert the first "cases" into a function to call on to determin the birthstone for the month.. but I used the switch for the month Number to Text conversion and birthstone code... I tried a few different ways from
With these as global declarations
Code:int month(int);//Global Month integer string months; strong stone;Help if you can, I'll still be looking around.Code:int getBirthstone(int) { switch(month) { case 1: months="January"; stone="Garnet"; break; case 2: months="February"; stone="Amethyst"; break; case 3: months="March"; stone="Aquamarine"; break; case 4: months="April"; stone="Diamond"; break; case 5: months="May"; stone="Emerald"; break; case 6: months="June"; stone="Pearl"; break; case 7: months="July"; stone="Ruby"; break; case 8: months="August"; stone="Peridot"; break; case 9: months="September"; stone="Sapphire"; break; case 10: months="October"; stone="Opal"; break; case 11: months="November"; stone="Topaz"; break; case 12: months="December"; stone="Turquoise"; break; } }
