    Unhappy 3 questions, one thread....

    Okay.. .How do i play sounds and music on c++?
    In MSW logo it's just:
    playwave 'c:/mydocu~1/sounds/beep.wav

    But in c++ it won't work for some reason....(sarcaasm)

    what should i include to use the diffdate()
    command?

    How do i clear the screen?

    Stupid, i know.. i suck at programming, and when i try to find this on the web, i get basic, logo, perl, java, anything but c++.

    Code:

    ...
    //Notice the \\ instead of \
    PlaySound("C:\\mysound.wav",NULL,SND_FILENAME);

    Thank you y'alll. The cls works. however the sound doesn't agree with my include files...
    I was using #include <stdlib.h>
    and got this error:
    warning: #warning This file includes at least one deprecated or antiquated header. Please consider using one of the 32 headers found in section 17.4.1.2 of the C++ standard. Examples include substituting the <X> header for the <X.h> header for C++ includes, or <sstream> instead of the deprecated header <strstream.h>. To disable this warning use -Wno-deprecated.


    I change it to <cstdlib>

    and get the same thing.

    This may be a silly question but you were using both the headers weren't you?

    what compiler are you using

    below your header files, try adding:

    using namespace std;

    see if that helps

    PlaySound() uses windows.h AND the winmm.lib library. Include both and it will work. you can't use #include <winmm.lib> to include library files.. What compiler are you using?

    the code:

    This is my code:

    ______________________________________
    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <cstdlib>
    #include <windows.h>
    using namespace std;
    int Wait ( int Seconds );

    int main ( void )
    {
    PlaySound("C:\\world.wav",NULL,SND_FILENAME);
    cout << "You like the juice, eh?\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "The juice is good, eh?\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "The juice is very good, eh?\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "I go get you more juice\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "I got the juice\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "The juice\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "You don't like the juice?\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "The juice no good, eh?\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "The juice bad, eh?\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "The juice very bad, eh?\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "Me taste the juice\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "You right, the juice bad\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "The juice very bad\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "Me throw up now\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "The juice sketch\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "You don't like the juice sketch?\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "The juice sketch bad, eh?\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "The juice sketch very bad, eh?\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "Me watch the juice sketch...\n";
    Wait(3);
    return 0;
    }


    int Wait ( int Seconds )
    {
    clock_t endtime = clock() + Seconds * CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
    while ( ( clock() < endtime ) );
    return 0;
    }

    and using the gnu compiler

    No, i was origanally using stdlib.h because DEV++ automatically has this when booted:

    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>

    int main()
    {

    SYSTEM("PAUSE")
    Return 0;
    }

    And it's not a silly question, i've done it before!

    Thumbs down

    I learned to use using namespace std;
    from c++ primer plus.
    And it don't work.
    i mean, it works, but doesn't make the program work beteerr
    bblaasted keebord!

    You forgot to use code tags!

    Code:
    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <cstdlib>
    #include <windows.h>
    using namespace std;
    int Wait ( int Seconds );
    
    int main ( void )
    {
    PlaySound("C:\\world.wav",NULL,SND_FILENAME);
    cout << "You like the juice, eh?\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "The juice is good, eh?\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "The juice is very good, eh?\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "I go get you more juice\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "I got the juice\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "The juice\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "You don't like the juice?\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "The juice no good, eh?\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "The juice bad, eh?\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "The juice very bad, eh?\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "Me taste the juice\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "You right, the juice bad\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "The juice very bad\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "Me throw up now\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "The juice sketch\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "You don't like the juice sketch?\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "The juice sketch bad, eh?\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "The juice sketch very bad, eh?\n";
    Wait(3);
    system("cls");
    cout << "Me watch the juice sketch...\n";
    Wait(3);
    return 0;
    }
    
    
    int Wait ( int Seconds )
    {
    clock_t endtime = clock() + Seconds * CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
    while ( ( clock() < endtime ) );
    return 0;
    }
    I have a rabbit in my pants! Please be happy for me.

    why use a system call when you can use clrscr();, dont use system calls unless you really need to, they make porting difficult.
